Binary Domain will soon be available on PC. How soon? How about next month? Yes, Binary Domain, which happens to be a very good cover-based shooter, is coming to PC in April. You can pre-order that bad boy on Steam.
Time is irrelevant for The Doctor, so this delay is merely a rearrangement in the Doctor's schedule. According to the official Twitter account for Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock, the game has been delayed slightly to put the finishing touches on things. Originally slated for a late March release, the game is now firmly into April, though a specific date was not given.
I'm a person of a certain age and should have grown out of cartoons by now, but when these cartoons are made by Pixar I can't help but get excited. Pixar films are invariably great *cough* not Cars 2 *cough* and they often come with tie in video games. This is the case with Brave: The Video Game, which will follow the co-op trend of Up and Toy Story 3.
If you've been itching for a new beat-em-up, next week's Xbox Live Arcade release should provide some welcome relief. Kung Fu Strike: The Warrior's Rise, from developer Qooc Soft and publisher 7sixty Games, heads to XBLA a week from now on March 28 for 800 MS Points ($10). As you might expect, it will offer plenty of martial arts mayhem and most importantly, 2 player local co-op.
Saint's Row The Third is getting a new batch of DLC today. "The Trouble With Clones" features one very problematic clone, as well as a few new super powers for your Third Street alter ego.

Check out the trailer below to get your science fix.
The Resident Evil franchise branches out into the military shooter genre today. Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City is a squad-based third-person shooter which focuses on the events of Resident Evil 2 and 3. Players will not be taking on the rolls of heroic S.T.A.R.S agents in this adventure. Instead you'll be acting on behalf of Umbrella, the misunderstood global conglomerate whose products just so happen to cause zombie apocalypses and some mild to severe monsterism.

Good news, combo co-op fans! Sony's exclusive third-person space shooter, Starhawk will support split screen and online play! Co-Optimus community member, Kevin Clough, recently posited this question on a PlaystationBlog article concerning the nature of local and online co-op:
The Nintendo 3DS has been around for a while now, which means it has little excuse for having so few co-op games. Square Enix are planning to rectify this misdemeanour when it releases Heroes of Ruin on the 31st March. The game is an action RPG with 4 player drop in/drop out co-op. Previously Co-Optimus has given you a taste of how Ruin's co-op works, now have a glimpse at the story in this new trailer.
Ninja Gaiden 3 has just slashed its way to stores, killing dozens of innocent bystanders in the process. Shocking, right? Imaginary deaths aside, the good news is Tecmo has non-imaginary plans to release free DLC for the game soon after launch. No specific date has been set, but we do know what this DLC includes: two weapons and two multiplayer stages. Good things come in pairs, you know.
Nobody can say Gears of War 3 doesn't have staying power. Not only is it massive to begin with, but Epic keeps pushing out downloadable content and title updates.

It contains a number of minor tweaks and bug fixes, all of which should make the multiplayer experience more enjoyable.
