Yar's Revenge is releasing this week on Xbox Live Arcade and PC - and Co-Optimus has the first two exclusive screenshots of the game's co-op mode. Want more? We're giving away copies of the game to lucky winners on launch day. Read on to find out how to enter and check out the screens.

A few months ago we brought you news that Atari is remaking the Atari 2600 classic, Yar's Revenge.  The staff member (hint: it was me) who posted the article was a little distraught over the new look of "Yar."  The main protagonist of the game is no longer a bad-a$$ metallic fly, but is now a half-armored anime girl.  Remember the slow death currently happening to the Japanese game industry?  Can we please stop emulating them? I've seen a lot of half-dressed anime babes in gaming, I cannot say the same for giant metal death flies.  

Behold!  This is as awesome as awesome gets!
