I bought and read all the Tintin books back in the day. Surely a company such as the Europe formed Ubisoft would be the ideal publisher to bring a co-op Tintin adventure that would impress me with its gameplay, whilst still remaining true to the characters?

We just recently found out that The Adventures of Tintin: The Game has a two person local co-op mode.  The movie tie-in is a platformer with some other genres mixed in for good measure.  We have a new video today where you can see some of the gameplay elements as well as the co-op mode in action.  It looks kind of interesting and there seem to be multiple puzzle elements.  You can even play as Tintin's dog, Snowy (Or Milou, si vous parlez français.)

That's it!  I've had it!  I'm going to stop declaring the 2011 gaming season officially over.  Every time I prepare to put the Co-Op Release Alert on winter hiatus a new game decides to launch.  This week was looking pretty bleak until this tweet popped up.  Thanks, Frozenbyte.  You've guaranteed a Co-Op Release Alert all the way up until Christmas.  Jerks.
