We've got a brand new trailer for Day One Studio's upcoming co-op shooter F.E.A.R. 3. If I remember correctly, this is actually the introduction to the game. The trailer show's our two heroes - Point Man and Fettel - as we learn how they came to be together for their soon to be co-op romp of destruction. The entire trailer seems to be narrated by the Fettel character, so it's a bit one sided, but there's plenty of action showcased.
We've got two videos for you this morning for Halo Reach. One of them an official video documentary called "A Spartan will Rise," the other something a little more unofficial that may be part of a viral marketing campaign.
Microsoft have announced a new game in the Age of Empires series called Age of Empires Online. Developed by Robot Entertainment, who are made up of former Age of Empires creators from Ensemble Studios, the game looks to break the mold of the previous Age of Empires games by adding in a bit of an MMO element.

Kane and Lynch are back and they're heading to Shanghai China to complete a big job. But when things turn sour it's up to our co-op duo to get out alive. Our full review of the game's enhanced co-op mode, online multiplayer and more is right ahead. You might want to bring some Dramamine.
For some people, myself included, it wasn't very clear that when you created a "character name" when starting StarCraft 2 for the first time that you were actually creating your public username to be used in multiplayer and co-op matches. Thankfully Blizzard realizes that there's some confusion and will be offering a one time name change for free.
Co-op gamers everywhere really enjoyed Castle Crashers on the Xbox LIVE Arcade. Now, Behemoth games has completely rebuilt the Playstation Network version to fit the other half of gamers that missed out. We have been itching for new information on Castle Crashers PSN after being blown away at PAX East by the performance of the game, with little info since our hands-on time.
Crystal Dynamics surprised us with the announcement that the next Lara Croft game would be a co-op action platformer with an isometric view. The quality of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light upon release comes as less of a surprise...for those who had faith in the iconic tomb raider.
It’s pretty rare that useful gaming things come with extra useful things for a game, but it looks like Fable III will be giving us quite a lot of extras with its extras. First on the list is Peter David’s “Fable: The Balverine Order,” a paperback novel to tide over hardcore Fable fans until their next Albion gaming adventure.
I’ve been saying it for years since the first Red Faction game hit my radar: The struggles of the people needs to be a co-op struggle. Finally someone from THQ has thought “hey, this would be fun with friends!” Thus bringing us the top-down shooter titled Red Faction Battlegrounds.
Bethesda has just announced the pre-order bonuses for Hunted: The Demon's Forge. The first two packs are your standard fanfare of exclusive armor and weapon pieces. The second packs however have revealed something we haven't heard about before - a dungeon creator.
It seems it's been a while since a major co-op release has hit. Sure we've had plenty of downloadable titles, but by my count, StarCraft 2 was the last big release over a month ago. And before that Crackdown 2. So it's good to see Mr. Kane and Mr. Lynch lighting up our summer with their gritty and violent shooter Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
With Gamescom kicking off in Germany this week, we're preparing to get an onlsaught of new media from our favorite upcoming co-op games. One game we haven't heard from in a while is the Snowblind developed title, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North. The latest trailer for the game, while showing off some great co-op action, doesn't actually show off any in game action. Still the concept is quite sound and the potential for co-op play looks great between the character classes.
