You know those little things that start to bother you when you think about them, but don’t really matter otherwise? This issue of On the Download features a few little pet peeves of mine in the world of digital gaming - things that may upset some people, enrage others, or you’ll just shrug it off.
Microsoft is holding their second annual Xbox Live Arcade Awards, and just like last year, all voting is done by users of Xbox Live.

Schizoid hit the Xbox Live Arcade this week, and it had one bold claim - "The Most Co-Op Game Ever." After playing this last night for a few hours (co-op review coming soon) I must say there's some clever design decisions and slick level design that definitely reinforces co-op play.

When a game claims to be the "most co-op game ever" it has some big shoes to fill. This week Schizoid can put its Microsoft Points where its mouth is when it comes out on the Xbox Live Arcade.

The clip is short, but we get to see how the game actually works and why it's so "teamworky".

But the catch is that the blue player can't touch the red crabs or they die and vice versa making the co-op element oh so apparent.
