Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year. A short week of work, good food, football, time spent with family, and the thrill of shopping make me very thankful. Best of all is a bit of extra time for gaming, and this year was no exception. This week in co-op, we'll take a look at what was on our family's Thanksgiving table of gaming goodness.
While you're waiting impatiently for Crackdown 2, why not contribute some great art in the process? Developer Ruffian Games is asking for artistic contributions to the mayhem in Pacific City by holding a competition to create some original graffiti artwork to be plastered on ruined walls around town. There are a few rules and regulations to be considered before starting, and we'd like to add that any Billy artwork entered earns some pretty sweet community points with us.

During the community event at PAX, we hinted at a feature that would allow you to create custom face mask and armor designs for Army of Two: The 40th Day so you can give Salem and Rios their own special flair. EA announced yesterday that the Custom Mask and Armor Creator is now live and everyone's free to make a mask that makes the co-op friendly heroes look like your worst childhood nightmare. The Custom Mask and Armor Creator is based off the same web-based art tool that was used for Skate 2, and which will undoubtedly return for Skate 3, so all you need is a valid EA.com account and your time/creative juices. Best of all, the designs you create now will be available to you the same day that the game goes live in January. So go get cracking on those custom masks and armors, and be sure to share your designs with us!
Crowd: "We've found a witch! May be burn her?!?!?"
Well...crap. I was wrong. If you listened to the latest Co-Opticast I managed to open my big mouth and pretty much guarantee Serious Sam HD on the Xbox would be released this week or next week. According to a tweet from the game's developer, Devolver Digital, it's not hitting till next year now.
The Rock Band series of games is arguably the best in the genre. The first Rock Band pioneered the full band experience. The sequel brought us the disc export feature, allowing you to play previous disc-based songs using the latest and greatest game engine. The Beatles Rock Band is the best band-centric game ever. And LEGO Rock Band is far from just another easy cash grab, full of features that make it appealing to gamers of all ages.
It's been just a few short weeks since Left 4 Dead 2, the sequel to the highly popular Left 4 Dead, shambled onto store shelves. While we can safely say that we big are fans of it and the wonderful co-op that it brings, you may be wondering how has the game fared overall. Was it released too soon after the original? Did that petition hurt sales at all? Didn't Valve say all that needed to be said in the first game; must we go Southern? Well, what are you still reading this teasing/fluffy intro for? The official press release with the sales numbers and some other interesting news is right after the break! Go go go go!
We talked a bit yesterday about the size and scale of the co-op action game Brink. After watching the video, people were itching to get their hands on the game this coming spring. Sadly, it looks as if the game is going to be delayed until next fall.
