Hot on the heels fo the Nintendo 3DS launch announcement this morning comes fresh media from Capcom on what may be the only co-op title to hit the system in its launch window - Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D.  Sadly, as what's going to be an issue with all of the games on the 3DS system, the promotional media won't be viewable with its awesome 3D effect.  I even tried putting blinking opposite eyes in rapid succession and it didn't help.  

The Nintendo 3DS has gotten its launch price and details for North America and Europe.  You can expect to pay a cool $250 at launch for the system when its available on March 27th in North America.   Europe will be getting the system on March 25th, though each territory will set its own price.  Right now the UK is listing it for for £229.99.

Gears of War 3 won’t make its way to our Xboxes particularly soon, so maybe you’re thinking about revisiting the first two games? Or perhaps you’ve just discovered the glory of Dom and Marcus co-op and you’re wanting to play these for the first time. You just happen to have great timing if either of these cases are true, as the boxed set of Gears of War 1 and Gears of War 2 loaded with extra content will be arriving before too long.

Last month we brought you news about two new DLC's coming to Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.  Today, one of those levels is available on Xbox LIVE.  The new stage pack is called, "Extra Stage: The One Who is Many," and it is available for 320 Microsoft points.  The level is rumored to be based on the catacombs stage from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and the boss is suspected to be everyone's favorite big giant ball of corpses, Legion.  This is the latest DLC for Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, which has received a ton of DLC support, including new characters and levels.  Up to six people can take on Dracula's minions through online co-op, so grab your weapon of choice and get to slayin'.

  Thongy Content Explosion! A whole lotta EA content is on sale over at the Xbox LIVE Marketplace.  Add-ons for games like Dragon Age: Origins, Madden, FIFA, and Medal of Honor are all 50% off.  Some EA Xbox LIVE Arcade games are half off as well, including co-op titles such as RISK: Factions, Microbot, DeathSpank, an...

What happens when you put together two things that are awesome?  Apparently, you get awesome squared; need proof?  Just check out Starcraft 2 mod called World of Starcraft.  It combines two things we love (namely, World of Warcraft and Starcraft 2) into something that can only be described as "full of win".  Though the mod is only in a pre-alpha state at the moment, it looks quite highly polished already.  So far, the focus is on Terran infantry units as player characters, but can Zerglings or Zealots be too far behind?  The real question here is: why didn't Blizzard do this themselves, five years ago?

Hard Corps: Uprising is kicking off th Xbox LIVE Arcade House Party this winter.  To celebrate, Konami has a brand new trailer featuring Kenji Yamamoto, the producer of the game, in full house party regalia.  Which in this case, is a party hat and one of those noise makers everybody hates.  The video is chock-full of co-op action.  

Really, an announcement like this is pretty unprecedented.  But if anyone can pull it off, its the champions of PC gaming, Valve Software.  Today they have announced that the PlayStation 3 version of Portal 2 will not only be playable cross platform with PC gamers in 2 player co-op, it'll also include free access to the Steam version of the game on the PC or Mac.  

The sequel to LittleBigPlanet is here! LittleBigPlanet 2 promises to be bigger, better, and more sacky in all the ways it can be. But does a more diversified gaming experience, better tools, and more content means a better co-op experience? Read on to find out in our review.

When the two player co-op game Killzone 3 is released exclusively for the PlayStation 3 in February, you're gonna want to make sure you are stocked up on popcorn and soda.  It's been revealed the game contains over 70 minutes of cutscenes, that's according to the BBFC which rated the game an 18+.   According to Eurogamer this rating, the ESRB equivalent of M for Mature, isn't just for bloody content - but for plenty of foul language.  But don't think this is like Bulletstorm, where it appears random swear words are thrown together for comedic effect.

The characters all stayed to the East

We've been curious about Spare Parts - EA's downloadable co-op platformer action game - since last summer. It looks like the PlayStation Network is going to be your first stop for all your mechanical needs; the game will be available tomorrow and Wednesday in the U.S. and EU (respectively), according to EA Bright Light.  The Xbox Live Arcade version isn't far behind, releasing worldwide on Wednesday.
