Retro collections can be appealing because of the large number of games they include, but sometimes the games are too old to be much fun. Digital Eclipse and Atari overcome this problem by adding documentary content into the mix. Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration bundles an amazing 115 titles and a wealth of historical matter in one slick packa...

Centipede: Infestation may not have been the updated Centipede game we hoped for, but it seemed like a decent twin stick co-op shooter.  The game has been out a while now, but if you haven't unlocked everything yet we've got a handful of cheat codes to help you get over the final hurdles in the game - or - create a bigger challenge for yourself.  

After a bit of a hiatus, we are back with another video edition of Co-Op Classics. We'll wade through a mushroom forest infested with bugs, defend Earth's cities from incoming nukes, and take on an alien empire bent on enslaving all of mankind. Arcade Classics and Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters: which one of these two games never made it to your local arcade?

So many games...  so little time.  We don't know what to do with ourselves!  This gaming season's military FPS war begins with Battlefield 3 firing the first rounds tomorrow.  A host of other games of varying genres are joining the fray, each looking for a piece of that substantial holiday pie.  What will you be playing?

I'll admit, I was a little down when I saw the first trailer for Centipede: Infestation.  The franchise was one of my all time favorites form the days of the Atari 2600 and the thought of a modern version of the game, something in the realms of a Pac-Man DX, really made me want to see the game.  Instead what was created was a twin stick shooter based in the universe.  After getting some hands on time with the game, I'll admit, it's better than I thought.

Retro remakes are all the rage these days, and that is good news for classic arcade fans like me.  One of the most beloved arcade games of the Golden Age is Centipede, the manic bug zapping shooter with crazy colors and intense sound effects.  Co-op, sadly, was lacking, though it did turn up in Centipede II (which was little more than a prototype, unfortunately).  This fall, a new game in the series, Centipede Infestation, is coming your way, and this time, you can bring a friend along for the experience.
