When Game Mill Entertainment announced Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports early in the summer, gamers had two questions: why isn't this called "Space Jam," and when is it coming out? For the answer to the first question, just watch Space Jam 2. Nobody wants more of that messy movie, thank you very much! As for the release date, we finally know it: September 27. It's almost time for some cartoon-style sports, baby.

Back in the day, the Looney Tunes appeared in an NBA Jam spin-off game called Space Jam, based on the hit movie. The movie was such a hit that it got a painfully bad sequel a few years ago. Remember that? Well, Game Mill Entertainment, makers of TMNT Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants, remembers that the Looney Tunes like to play sports. That's why they've just announced Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports, which will offer multiple sports and local co-op too!

Indie developer NAISU started out developing casual, risqué titles on Steam. NAISU wants to branch out to new audiences, though, starting with the release of Volley Pals. This one couldn’t be more approachable and family friendly. Gamers simply choose from a variety of cartoony characters and then play volleyball on a bevy of outlandis...

Headed to Seattle today for PAX West? Wondering how to spend your evening before things kick off tomorrow? Well, maybe you should swing by the Museum of Pop Culture tonight at 8:30 pm PDT for the Nindies@Night event. Nintendo will have a number of indie titles for you to play, including some co-op games like Wulverblade, Huntdown, and the newly announced action-RPG title from Inti Creates, Dragon Marked for Death.

Some new (and more importantly, free) DLC has arrived for Bloodsports.TV this week. Owners of the game should already see this new content added and for those of you waiting to pick it up, now may be a good time.

Bloodsports.TV is the cooperative “MOBA-like” game I’ve been looking for over these past few years. It drops much of the competitive metagame concepts, like laning, jungling, and last hit, in favor of focusing on a friendly, team-based survival experience....

Last night the crew checked out Bloodsports.TV for our latest co-op stream. The game is best described as a mash-up of others. It's DOTA 2 meets Dawn of War 2's Last Stand mode. It's Smash TV meets Borderlands style. It's also a hell of a lot of fun.

Fight or suffer. That's the driving force behind Fatshark's upcoming Bloodsports.TV, which is now hitting Steam on March 30. The five player co-operative arena brawler will pit you and your friends against waves of enemies in the hopes of being able to not only guarantee your survival, but the survival of your town.

Do you like a post-apocalyptic world? Do you like "gladiator" style combat arenas? Do you like... BLOOOOOOOOOOOOD?! No? Oh. Ok, well, maybe check out Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, then? But if you said "YES!" to all of that then maybe you'd be interested Fatshark's upcoming title, Bloodsports.TV. (You can check out Kirby, too, nobody has to know).

Hey there, folks! Welcome once again to another edition of Beyond Co-Op, where Co-Optimus looks "beyond the co-op aspect" and brings you some gaming news that doesn't always revolve around cooperative play. For this week’s take, we have a couple of interesting stories on the gaming industry and how their choices affect us as players, consumers, and even developers!

Some of my favorite co-op memories involve the Sega Genesis and games of NHL 95 with my buddy.  Sports games are a natural co-op occurence and most games will let you play locally with at least two players vs the AI.  Sure we've had a few games that have added a dedicated online co-op mode, but these modes so far haven't been persistent.  All of that looks to change with NHL 13's new mode called GM Connected.
