Luckily, one of (in our opinion) the greatest stealth games of all time has just made its way from yesteryear's Xbox 360 to the more modern Xbox One via the Backwards Compatibility List.  As of this very moment, you and three friends can enjoy Monaco's stellar four player co-op in both local and online capacities.

What games you ask?  Well, for Xbox One owners they get another month to get the 3 player co-op Crimson Dragon for free (more cop-out than co-op), but also get the solo experience Super Time Force as well.

Like always, the Humble Indie Bundle gives you the choice to pay as little, or as much, as you like for the games on offer.  The price you pay can be divided as you choose between the publishers, the website and charity - in this case the Child's Play Charity and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

First and foremost, the original campaigns of Monaco have all been edited and/or shortened in some way, trimming the fat of the more lengthy and less favorable levels. Yes, they did, in fact, remove gameplay content with this update. However, the developers wanted the game to have a much smoother user experience that enhances its entirety overall. One of the things they tweeked was the prison tutorial, where many gamers had failed to understand how to escape the guards. By removing bushes to hide in, this helps players to understand that breaking line-of-sight is often the solution to avoid detection.

We were pleasantly surprised with just how much the game has changed with the addition of zombies. I know, I know - it sounds like a no-brainer (*zing*), but really just changing the way the enemies behave made the entire game feel brand new. The entire original campaign, community levels, and the new origins levels can be played in zombies fashion.

Andy Schatz released a short video (below) showing off a few things from the Halloween update. The biggest content additions are eight new mini-campaigns that detail the backstory for each of the protagonist thieves. Along with that is Zombie Mode, a feature Schatz admits is a little trite, but they did it anyway, so what are you gonna do? Zombie Mode adds shambling undead foes to Monaco's levels, forcing you to do things like explode bloaters and avoid wretches while you try to make your escape.

Not huge news in its own right, but by being on Linux, Monaco has opened itself up to be playable on Value's new SteamOS.  If this is not enough excitement, Pocketwatch Games have also promised plenty of new/free content for this version.

It’s a shame when a good co-op game doesn’t take off on a platform, as Schatz discussed on a fan Q&A thread on Reddit. Feelings towards the studio’s effort to port the game to Xbox 360 were mostly negative, as they apparently made peanuts compared to what they made off the PC version. To explain what might have happened here, he theorized that the XBLA demo (not the best one out there) and the multiple delay situation that went on at initial release time, contributed to the poor sales of Monaco.

After playing Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine for the first time, we had to beg the question: “Would a level editor eventually make it into this game?” Just think of the all the possibilities for different co-op missions one could create if given the opportunity. Luckily for us, Pocketwatch Games actually listened to their fans and granted Monaco players the chance to design their own levels!
