The horror!  Not the new Obscure Collection out on Steam now, but the remake that was touted a year back and renamed Final Exam.  Take me back instead to the original PC and PS2 adventures.  Both Obscure and Obscure: The Aftermath are 2 player local co-op games that still chill to this day.

Everyone loves a good horror-themed, 2.5D, brawler/shooter hybrid. At least they should if they know what's good for them. Obscure is a new four player cooperative title being developed by Mighty Rocket Studios and published by Focus Interactive. Players can team up (either locally or online) and take down monstrous enemies with unlockable weapons and special abilities. You'll be taking the role of students as you play through the branching pathways of Leafmore High School. 

We've all been so busy actually PLAYING the myriad of releases this Fall, including some awesome co-op ones, that we didn't have time to write about all the other games out there. We've combined our Beyond Co-Op reviews for October and November into a mega issue.

Obscure: The Aftermath hits the PlayStation Portable this week, and while we've seen the game on numerous other platforms, there's something interesting about this version.  Obscure joins the ranks of one of the rare portable titles that actually supports drop-in/drop-out cooperative play through the game's story mode.

Playlogic has announced a new port of their horror title Obscure: The Aftermath.  The game was previously available on the PC, Wii and PS2 and featured a two player co-op mode.  The new version will be released later this year on the PSP, and will retain the co-op modes of the console counterparts.  What's even better is the portable version of this game will also support drop-in and drop-out play!  Now you can run in fear without ruining your friend's game.
