You remember Joy Ride, right? The free co-op game coming to the Xbox Live Arcade? Well, Microsoft has announced that the game will feature content that can be unlocked when a cumulative goal is reached by the entire community. This is not all that dissimilar to what DICE did with Battlefield 1943's Coral Sea Challenge. Exactly what content that entails is still a mystery, but we like the prospects.
It seems Borderlands is including a co-op survival mode of sorts. These game modes (like Gears 2's Horde and Halo 3 ODST's Firefight) allow players to team up against waves of enemies, to see how long they can last. This snippet from IGN's Borderlands preview seems to indicate there'll be something similar in Borderlands.
Remember that awesome live action Halo 3: ODST trailer we posted? Bungie has just released some behind the scenes footage of it, and you are going to be shocked at how much work can go into two minutes of film.
Independent developer ACE Team Software has announced that their PC game Zeno Clash will be finding its way to the Xbox Live Arcade sometime next year.

The most famous band of all time gets the music game treatment. How does The Beatles Rock Band hold up compared to its predecessors? What about the three part harmonies? Is the song list too short? Find out in our "Fab" review!
Oh, gaaaawd! No more Halo! Yeah, yeah...we know. Trust me: we know. Take a pill.
Fable II was one of those games that I anticipated for its co-op and was severely let down...so I determined that I would wait for a good deal and buy it for its single-player gameplay.
If you played through Resident Evil 5, there were a few flashbacks in the game to Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine's assault on Ozwell Spencer's horror-filled castle, an event that was three years prior to the game itself. Capcom plans to release the two hour mission in a director's cut of the game next year, unfortunately due to the size of it, we won't see it as separate DLC for existing PlayStation 3 owners.
While the 2009 Tokyo Game Show has wrapped up for the year, there was one more bit of lingering co-op related news to come out of the Makuhari Messe convention center. PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe, the Playstation Portable version of the enjoyable, co-op tower defense title released in early 2008, will be available this Thursday, October 1. What better way to celebrate a new month than with a slightly new co-op title? PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe includes all the content of the original title, the Encore DLC pack, new monsters, new stages, unlockable bonuses, and (best of all) 2 player local and online co-op. A trailer for the game, as well as an interview with Dylan Cuthbert of Q Games and Jeff Rubenstein from the Playstation Blog, can be found after the break.
We've always said that playing co-op games online is a much different social experience, compared to typical multiplayer versus play. Just hop into any versus game of Halo 3 and compare the chatter to that of a co-op game of Halo 3. It's absolute night and day. Perhaps the reason is John Gabriel's Internet Fuckwad Theory, or perhaps it's has to do with aggressive behavior trigger by the game type.
With less than a month until DJ Hero's release, Activision has been showing the game off at various events. Destructoid got some hands on time with the game and seemed to enjoy what was played.
