In our first interview with Matt Turner, producer for Army of Two: The 40th Day, we covered why he chooses co-op, what’s changed for The 40th Day, and what “organic co-op” means. In the second part of the interview, we dive a little deeper into the game’s morality system, discuss how the enemies are getting into the co-op spirit, and discover how gun customization can be a co-op activity. Check it out after the break!

If you happened to catch our first interview with the good folks from Telltale Games, you'll likely remember that we had the opportunity to do two separate interviews with two different groups of folks from the development company that's leading the revitalization of adventure gaming. In our second interview, we sat down with Mark Darin, Designer/Programmer at Telltale Games and the director for Tales of Monkey Island Episode 2: The Siege of Spinner Cay, to talk about what influenced the making of the Tales of Monkey Island series, as well as how you can find co-op in the least likely of places.
Elemental: War of Magic is an upcoming Stardock project based on and set in a world of a book by CEO Brad Wardell. The basic premise of the game is a turn based strategy RPG that's both easily accessible and runs on a large range of system configurations. In fact, the current goal is to get the game running on a Netbook. We got some hands on time with the game at PAX and came back with some impressions.
We had the great opportunity to meet Bruce Hawver, CEO of SteelSeries gaming gear, this year at PAX.

We've got a bit of PAX swag to give away from the show, and believe it or not we still have a few more articles of coverage to post!
