Welcome to a brand new monthly editorial on Co-Optimus where we'll focus on a genre that doesn't get a lot of coverage here - MMOs. For the most part, MMOs are natively a co-op experience on a much larger (and expensive) scale. Each month we'll look at a different MMO and check out the experience.

Up on this week's Xbox Live Deal of the Week, Major Nelson has informed us that one of the greatest co-op Tower Defense games is marked down. South Park: Let's Go Tower Defense Play has hit the 50% off mark for this week, sitting pretty at $5 (400).
