Microsoft's "Netflix for video games" is starting to look like a better deal all the time as the catalog of titles available to play continues to grow. As of today, October 3, there are 137 games available to download and play, and of those, 48 are co-op games.

Slaughtering your way across the anarchic world of Castle Crashers is akin to looking through the eyes of a sociopath who majored in Medieval History while tripping on acid. Maybe you missed the surreal subversion of fantasy tropes the first time around, but its finally time to rectify that. Castle Crashers Remastered is finally out on the Xbox One. Coming in at $14.99 for first time Crashers, this enhanced edition of the beat'em'up is free for owners of the 360 version, so long as you pick it up before the 20th.
I'm always amazed when I see news about a game that is over a year old getting an update. When that game is three years old, that's even more impressive.

Xbox Live Gold members know the drill. Each week, a handful of games goes on sale for anyone with a shiny gold membership. You see, you buy, you play, easy.

Now it's time for some Terraria news! No, this has nothing to do with a secret new PC patch or the nifty Terraria: Otherworld. This is a good old fashioned update for the console version of the game, nudging it up to version 1.2.3 so it finally catches up to the items and features in the PC release.
The "cute but don't let that fool you" brawler Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds is packed with serious combo chaining, ability unleashing, character upgrading action that's extremely well-suited for co-op play. The original version has been kicking around the PC, Vita and Xbox 360 scenes for awhile, but the PlayStation 4 Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Overdrive release adds new features, including online co-op!
Iron Brigade, a game released during the height of human existence, the year 2011, is going through a few changes. After dealing with a few legal issues, developer Double Fine regained the rights to the intellectual property and promptly began work on a patch for the game's PC version.
Indie Gala, long dormant since it last staggered forward from the Savings Mines, has returned! This time bearing a bag teeming with Steam sales even the most self-righteous Valve employee might agree to, Indie Gala's slumming around for a bit to see who wants a cut of the deals.
