I can honestly say this is one of the most varied issues of Beyond Co-Op we've ever had. Major platform releases, downloadable titles, portable games, and indie titles are all on display this month. Check the table of contents below and then dig in for a feast of 7 game reviews.

The world of music games has certainly grown and expanded since the days of the first Guitar Hero and Rock Band.  Games like DJ Hero now let players try their hand at spinning up their favorite tracks in a night club, while others like Def Jam Rapstar lets you live out the fantasy of being a major hip-hop artist.  In all of this, then, it seems like the next logical progression is to allow gamers to move into the world of mixing audio tracks and getting behind the producer boards, and JamParty: Be the Music, initially for the PC only but hopes for XBLA/PSN later on, is setting itself up to be just that kind of music game.
