Plants Vs. Zombies was a casual game smash last year, and saw releases on PC and iDevices.  As a tower defense fan, I picked the game up off Steam and really had a good time with it.  A simplified tower defense formula coupled with a whole bucketload of humor and charming graphics made for a great combination.  Next month, Xbox 360 gamers will be able to enjoy Plants Vs. Zombies for the first time, and best of all, there's a brand new co-op mode!  Two players will be able to select their own seeds to plant, and by working together, they can defend one lawn from the undead invaders, all at the same time. Player 2 can drop in and out of the adventure mode at any time.  The zombie killin' action begins on September 8, for $15.

The Dragon Quest series is nothing if not traditional. While its genre contemporaries dabble in all manner of ridiculous systems, ennui and flamboyantly-dressed ladyboys, Dragon Quest has been content to deliver a solid, lighthearted adventure time and time again.

Many may have noticed that while Dead Rising was still a great title, it was a lot different than the usual style game that Capcom delivers. The biggest reason for the change? Dead Rising was the first title from the Japanese developer to truly target a Western audience. With the sequel, Dead Rising 2, on the horizon, Capcom opens up about their business change, Western development, and co-op.

Many were shocked when Konami announced a six player co-op version of Castlevania, called Harmony of Despair. The series was never huge on multiplayer gaming, rarely offering a single partner for your vampire hunting. Can the game hold its own despite sharing content with previous titles?

Kick-Ass, the movie based on the graphic novel of the same name, comes out today on DVD and Blu-ray.  To celebrate the occasion, WHA Entertainment has permanently lowered the price of the Kick-Ass game on its exclusive home of the PlayStation Network.  The game is a two player co-op brawler and uses licensed material from the movies quite extensively.

When it was announced that the PC version of Fable 3 would be released day and date with its Xbox 360 counter part, Microsoft and Lionhead gained a few points in their "good" meter.  Today though, the points are going in the opposite column, as the PC version of the game has been delayed with no new date being set.

We have another video today for Two Worlds 2.  While not as entertaining and lighthearted as the previous trailer, this one gets down to business as we get a glimpse at the beautiful landscapes and vistas in Antaloor - the world of the game.

Can you believe it's August already?  That puts us within 6 weeks of titles like Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days, Halo Reach, and Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.  July may have been a bit light on the releases for co-op gamers, with the notable exception being Crackdown 2, but there was still plenty to play.  The month wrapped up with a "bang" as Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty found it's way to our hard drives after 12 years and Alien Swarm surprised us with it's awesome free goodness.

Tidalis is a puzzle game for everyone, from the very casual Bejeweled fan to the hardcore gamer who enjoys competitive play. For readers of this site, co-op is the main event, and the cooperative options in Tidalis are particularly robust, while at the same time very elegant and intuitive.

This month in MMO Co-Opportunities we look at Dungeons and Dragons Online, the MMO that seeks to truly incorporate many of the rules and sentiments of its pen-and-paper namesake.

Indie game Square Off may not be everyone's cup of tea, but for the measley new price of one dollar, it can be your large soft drink. Not only has the price dropped, but Gnomic has seen fit to add two multiplayer levels and a third level for single player and co-op. In addition, new music tracks, improved sound effects, and a broader range of difficulty has been added to appeal to a wider audience.

Alright, listen up! Fresh from the developer blog, news came across the wire last night that final inspection is under way and the Pelicans are in loadout. Once mission command sends out the protocol...we'll make the drop. Secure your chinstraps and double-check your weapons, folks; it's almost time.
