Time for a little Arcade Four-Play. Four player competitive and co-operative games make up the roster for this week's Xbox LIVE Arcade Deal of the Week. A World of Keflings offers co-op play for two players locally and four players online. We liked the world-building adventure game, giving it a 4 out of 5 in our Co-Op Review. You can pick it up right now for only 400 Microsoft Points, or five dollars. That's 50% off the normal 800 MSP price point, or half off, for those of you who simply hate math.

It wasn't long ago that Valve asked the community for awesome mods for the four player co-op game Left 4 Dead 2. Today, we get that answer.

It's a special episode of the Co-Opticast as Charles Husemann from GamingNexus.com joins the Co-Opticrew to discuss the latest co-op news, the latest gameplay impressions, and then dive into some deep discussion about the gaming industry!
Moon Diver will be gracing the PlayStation Network with its presence before making an appearance on the Xbox Live Arcade. The title has been touted as a spiritual successor to the classic action game, Strider. This is mostly due to the involvement of director Kouichi Yotsui, who was a creative lead on the original Strider. For those of you who are too young to remember the Strider, (curse you and your youth) the game centered around Hiryu, a member of a specially trained group of ninja warriors known as "Striders." In this latest title, the world has gone to hell, and the only ones who can fix it are a new group of specially trained ninjas called, you guessed it, "Moon Divers."
