If you are looking to add to your Xbox collection both for Xbox One and Xbox 360, look no further than Microsoft's massive sale on Xbox games. Major Nelson posted today on his website the sale, which includes some of the very best for Co-Op including Gears of War 4, Rayman Legends, Borderlands the Handsome Collection and many more. If playing games without friends is something you are more interested in, the sale has you covered, including multiple Assassin's Creed titles, I am Bread, Far Cry 4 and many more.

January is a long month waiting for payday and counting the pennies.  Good news for gamers who still have a little cash and Xbox Live Gold.  Far Cry 4 is one of several games on offer this week including Grand Theft Auto 5 and The Crew, but with 60% off it is the definite highlight.

In the States, the end of November marks the occasion for two things: the consumption of way too much food, and SALES SALES SALES! There are some choice Cyber Monday deals underway right now, but Microsoft offered up a few deals of their own on the digital versions of games like Destiny, Evolve, Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin, and Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime last week, and today is the last day you can enjoy them.

Summer is a great time to stay in doors and play video games, especially if you live in an area where it's in the 80s and it's humid all day every day. If you own an Xbox One, your chance to pick up a lot of co-op games for cheap starts tomorrow with Microsoft's "Ultimate Game Sale," with a fair number of titles being discounted up to 50% off.

Good news for PC Master Race and PS4 owners who live in Europe or the Middle East. If you held off on picking up Far Cry 4 figuring "surely they'll release a complete edition with the full game and all DLC at some point," you were right! For Xbox One owners, well... they still have that deal going on, so there's something!

Deal of the Week!  Are there any words sweeter than this?  Over the years Microsoft have offered some great discounts on co-op games, but perhaps this week is not one of them!  However, people that don't already own Far Cry 4 or Assassin's Creed Unity may just be intrigued by the 45% off.

You and your co-op partner have no doubt liberated countless skins from Kyrat's native fauna in Far Cry 4. Now that you've faced down rampaging elephants and rhinos with a grudge against mankind, it's time to move on to even more lethal game. I'm not referring to humans, since you mow down enough people while capturing bases to cover the globe in entrails, but something much more dangerous than a militant with an assault rifle.

Far Cry 4 has possessed a fairly robust Map Editor since it launched back in November of last year. Of course, if you were dedicated solely to co-op play, you may never have noticed this little entry on the main menu. Editorial tools such as these largely square themselves in the "PvP zone," so you and your friends can forge maps to blow each other up. FC4's Map Editor, however, lets you craft your own outposts, no matter how bizarre, strategically absurd, or architecturally unsound they may be, and take them out, all lone soldier style. Until now.

Some good news and unfortunately some bad news has come on the Ubsioft front today. While a brand new DLC to check out on Far Cry 4, PC players may not even be able to play the game if they purchased a Steam key through a various third party vendor.

For Far Cry 4 fans, today is a little like a mini post-Christmas with the release of the new Escape from Durgesh Prison DLC.  It can be played solo or in co-op, but as our Co-Optimus sneak peek suggested, this content is slightly different from the norm.

It's time once again to pick your favorite co-op game of the year. We divide our awards into two categories, AAA and Indie. We nominate games that we feel showcase great cooperative features - whether that's a solid story involving all players, innovative mechanics, or just plain fun with friends.

Let's face it, we've all had at least one morning in which we've woken up in a prison cell next to our buddy after being kidnapped and tortured mercilessly for hours on end.  At least, that's what I assume.  For those of you whose lives are slightly less adventurous, Far Cry 4 has you covered.  On January 13...
