Journey is a new gaming experience from thatgamecompany, the makers of Flower. It offers a cooperative adventure like no other game that has come before it. Find out more in our Co-Op Review.

Hello, my name is Samoza and I have a confession to make - I like single player games. Co-op experiences are fantastic, but sometimes you want to be alone.  One such case is the sublime Heavy Rain - a game so infused with emotion that my partner sat and watched it like a film as I played (not so alone then). Rainbow 6: Patriots is a game aiming to do something very similar.  Therefore, the news that Heavy Rain designer Jean-Sebastien Decant is taking over as creative lead must be a good thing.  Or is it a sign of the development struggling?

In 2006, I purchased an Xbox 360, on a bit of a whim. I had gone to the store in the midst of a period of snow days, on hearing a rumor that Wiis were in stock. They sold out before I arrived, and with two cooped up and stir crazy kids plus a new HDTV at home, I took home an Xbox 360. I’ve been a big fan of the system ever since, but of course there were a few flaws. One of the most irritating (apart from the red ring of death) was the lack of storage methods.

Soon to be available on the PlayStation Network, the 2nd to last DLC in the Fortune Hunter’s Club known as “Shade Survival Mode” will arrive come Tuesday for Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception.

It's been a hectic week for gaming. Truthfully, the last six weeks have been filled with mayhem.  My second child, Player Four, began the big game of life back in January.  Since then, finding time to play more frivolous games has become a daily struggle for us.  "Struggle" being a relative term.  It's not like we're freedom fighters.  We're just trying to get our game on without getting baby poo on our controllers.  Is that too much to ask?  According to Player Three, it is.  

Remember Trine 2?  It launched back in December on the XBLA, PSN and PC here in the United States, but in Europe the PlayStation Network version never saw the light of day.  Delay after delay came and soon three months had gone by.  But now the time is finally here to get your hands on Trine 2, the slick three player co-op physics based puzzler.

Dagnabbit, people, how could we let this happen?  Each week I ask you guys to sound off in the comments section of the Co-Op Release Alert and let me know if I missed any upcoming co-op titles.  I guess I deserve some of the blame, since my game-dar isn't really set for dancing games, especially country music dancing games.  

A brand new Sim City is coming in 2013 from developer Maxis and it may be their most ambitious version of the game yet.  I have pretty fond memories of playing Sim City 2000 in a hot seat co-op fashion growing up, but having some true co-op objectives based around a city building simulation sounds incredibily enticing.  Similar to CitiesXL, the game will feature a large focus on social gameplay and building regions with friends, providing a persistent simulation that lasts over time.

One of the problems with modern gaming and the internet is that websites like Co-Optimus often get to know about a game before they are officially revealed. We already knew that Medal of Honor: Warfighter was coming, but EA have gone ahead and revealed it anyway at this year's GDC with a new trailer and some more information. The most pertinent info is the release date: October 23rd 2012.

We have a fresh new trailer for the latest Fable game.  Fable Heroes is an offshoot of the series, allowing four players to team up for some good old-fashioned co-op action.  The new title looks to be a hybrid of Gauntlet-style hack and slash mixed with a collection of mini-games.  Check out the video to see the gameplay in action.  

Community group known as Stabyourself.net has finally accomplished a gamer’s dream: taking two awesome games by two legendary publishers, Nintendo and Valve, and put them into one, stellar game.

Good news, PC gamers!  Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is heading your way.  You'll have to wait until May 18th, but better late than never, I always say.
