Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived four characters who craved fame. You see, they used to be the talk of the kingdom – boys and girls around the entire world loved them, and their names were recognizable wherever one would go. Things change, new stories get told, and beloved old storytime characters get lost in the shuffle. You ever stop to think that maybe those characters don’t want to fade away? That maybe they’ll do anything to get back in the limelight of their former glory? In Playlogic and Game Factory’s Fairytale Fights, this is exactly the case – and things get bloody. Very bloody.
Sometimes the words "digitally remastered" is like music to our ears, especially in the case of our Nintendo 64 classics! This time, we've got the original Perfect Dark on the Xbox LIVE Arcade, thanks to Rare and Microsofts team up. Perfect Dark has an updated, smoothed out frame rate, as well as being rendered in high definition. Joanna Dark would be proud, as long as it's not all just another one of those galactic conspiricies.
Brink, one of the few pleasant surprises at E3 this year. One that has a handful of great features, including Co-op, beautifully stylized visuals, a terrain defeating "SMART" system, and loads of others. With it's presentation, Lead Producer Paul Wedgewood gave a nice tour of The Arc.
With summer blockbuster movies, for better or worse, come the movie tie-in games. In the case of G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra, we're happy to see Co-op, but very curious to know exactly how the game itself works.

We've seen a bit on this game, getting closer to release we're finally hearing some hands on experiences with it which we would love to share!
Last month we showed off 'Splosion Man, but with limited gameplay information at the time. Now, the developers sent out a video with commentary on the demo of the game at E3, showing us what to expect with 'Splosion Man's 4 player co-op through over 100 levels in the game. Buckle your seat belts for this one, it's a pretty wild ride!

You are your Avatar, and you get to customize your vehicle to ride around wacky tracks and do wild tricks. We should probably also mention you can play with your friends, Co-op style.

Since breaking the news about The Grinder, we've been very interested to learn just a little bit more about the Wii's 4 player first person horror shooter, . Kotaku came to the rescue with many details straight from the developers, and some "visual hands-on" time with the game. We already mentioned that the developers, High Voltage Software worked on 4 player horror co-op with Hunter: The Reckoning. But, what does that mean for the Wii specifically?
PSP Go announcement aside, the PSP is really getting some love this year! We're expecting to play a lot of great games before summer 2010, and a good chunk of them feature co-op, both via ad hoc (local) and infrastructure (wi-fi internet).
