Yesterday there were some troubling stories circulating around the internet concerning the co-op mode of Resident Evil: Revelations. It was reported that the two player cooperative "Raid Mode" would be unlocked only after the single player campaign was completed. The single player portion of the game has been reported to take 10 hours to complete. That's a long time to go without co-op. It turns out this is not the case.
Despite a previous commitment that could only be broken by the death of a staff member, Torchlight 2 has been delayed out of 2011. Don't worry, nobody is dead. Runic Games developer Travis Baldree tells all on the official site that a delay into early next year is the best thing for everyone. Obviously quality is a big concern on their part and it seems that Runic doesn't feel what is there is up to their high standards.
Magicka has received a massive engine overhaul today in anticipation of the next piece of DLC for the game called "The Stars are Left." The update to the game incorporates numerous fixes and improvements making it a much more enjoyable experience. The biggest change?

If Spec Ops: The Line was a person, it would be a soldier stuck in enemy territory. We had hands on time with the game in 2010, but since then it has been held back until 2013. Like any good soldier, it refused to quit and worked its way home to us (I made some pie). Now 2K Games are promising more information in the coming weeks. Up first is a brand spanking new image and the promise of a trailer next week.
Dungeon Siege 3 received some DLC a few weeks ago, entitled “Treasures of the Sun.” We recently got our hands on a review code for it, and for those of you who are interested, we have some impressions to share.

You can get your hands on the Dungeon Defenders Development Kit free off of Steam right here.

As an added bonus, take a gander at the First Person mode sample video.
While Xbox Live Arcade is crawling with twin-stick shooters, nothing like Fusion: Genesis has been attempted before. Equal parts RPG and shooter, Fusion: Genesis aims to squeeze a massively multiplayer online experience into an affordable Xbox Live Arcade title.

Today we're proud to announce that the Co-Optimus site mascots of Billy, Player 1 Bot and Player 2 Bot are all going to be featured in the upcoming 4 player co-op game, Shoot Many Robots. With a title like Shoot Many Robots you may fear for the life of our co-op buddies, but don't worry folks - Billy and Friends aren't going to be the target of P. Walter Tugnut's machine gun fire. Instead they'll be firmly strapped to his back as a bonus item to help in anyway they can.
Today we have even more details concerning Mass Effect 3's upcoming co-op mode. The information comes from an interview with ME3 producer Jesse Houston on the BioWare Blog. Highlights include skill level matchmaking, more weapon and armor customization, and co-op specific Trophies and Achievements. The major lowlight is the lack of local co-op play, for now. You can see a full list of details after the break.
It's been a busy fall with hot new releases for the co-op and single player enthusiast alike. During this time, then, it seemed like a good opportunity to do a little look back at some of the great indie titles that are out there to enjoy as well!
Well hello there scary barbarian guy with flaming swords and a skull face. I'd like you to meet my friends The Knight, The Wizard and The Thief as they co-op your butt right off that ledge in Trine 2.
Resistance 3 has been patched to version 1.05, which means the next time you fire up the game you'll be waiting for yet another download on your PS3. Still, with the patch comes several fixes for all aspects of the game including single player, multiplayer and of course co-op. The biggest fix is to one that could potentially spoil campaign progression for a guest player in co-op.
