The Red Star was a co-op game for the PS2 that arrived late in the console's lifecycle, well after the next gen of consoles had hit the market, but that didn't stop it from being a thoroughly enjoyable beat 'em up/shoot 'em title that's worth playing. Well XS Games, the game's publisher, recently announced that this gem of a co-op title will be given a new life on the PSP and iPhone "early spring 2010." As a huge fan of both the game and the comic series it's based on, I'm excited that this game will see a new release on some other gaming platforms. Hopefully it does well enough that an XBLA or PSN version won't be far behind.

Добро пожаловать (Welcome), comrades! As Jim highlighted in last week’s “This Week in Co-Op,” sometimes a great co-op experience can be found lurking in the catalog of last gen’s titles. So this past weekend I dusted off my copy of one such co-op title that was overlooked when it was released, The Red Star, and decided to give it a run through. With my partner in tow, we stepped into an alternate Russia where two soldiers seek to put an end to a corrupt government being lead by a mystical, and evil, sorcerer known as Troika.
