It's a very special episode this week! Nick took a weekend trip and made the mistake of leaving Mike to his own devices, so Jim, Jason and Marc join him to discuss not only this week's news, but when we feel a game requires co-op!
Last year, Spyborgs was announced. Touted as a Saturday morning cartoon style platformer, the game quickly fell off the radar.

The gameplay appears more action based as well.

There was a time when Depeche Mode enjoyed the silence. There were no gun shots, no zombie growls, and no screams of horror when a Tank came onto the screen - but times have changed.

They've dubbed their new title Ecoshift a "Self Co-op" title. Somehow, we think the concept of cooperation eludes these PSP developers. Care to enlighten them?
The Xbox 360 arcade has enriched the lives of gamers since 2005, adequately priced games for anyone's enjoyment. Now, 4 years later, the inflation rate of Arcade games seems to have surpassed the housing market in percentages. 4 years doesn't seem like enough time to have gamers saying "Why back in my day, games were a nickel!" But, that's how some of us are feeling at the moment.
Most of id Software's upcoming shooter RAGE is still shrouded in mystery.

According to the trailer that Treyarch just debuted for the Call of Duty: World at War Nazi Zombie co-op mode, some nifty weapons are hiding at Der Riese, weapons which will help you do just that: dispatch zombies.

If you're the type of gamer that has to max out your in-game ranks and unlockables, then games like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport are probably your Mount Everest peak, arriving out of the box with hundreds of hours' worth of racing just to get every car.
