Continuing to backpedal themselves out of the SimCity debacle, EA is considering to offer players an offline mode in the future. A survey unleashed by Maxis described what could be coming at a later date, but wanted to know what the players wanted first.

The above screenshot might look like its from a Crackdown game, but it's actually from the recently released Saints Row 4 trailer. The new game looks even more over the top than the third installment - which we didn't know was possible. It's a good thing though - Saints Row knows what it is and what it does well and it continues to push that.

Wow, that last Techland game I played was excellent.  Not Dead Island, but Call of Juarez: The Cartel!  It had everything; glitches, poor controls, mediocre gameplay - it was ace.  Or perhaps it was not.  Co-Optimus gave the game a limp 2.5 and the co-op was one of its few saving graces.  Can we as a community prevent anything like The Cartel from happening again?  Perhaps we can, if we fill out Ubisoft's questionnaire about a potential 4th game in the series.

Co-Optimus has taken on a life of its own over the years, growing and changing constantly.  We've got readers from every country in the world and users who utilize the site in hundreds of different ways.  To get a better understanding of things and hopefully improve the site further we're launching a short survey to gauge some feedback on how we're doing and also - how you're playing co-op.

Did you disagree with the Playboy advertising in Dead Rising 2?  Have your say.
