Bennu: Once A Bird Flinging Co-op Our Way

While generally being bizarre in presentation, Indie games tend to speak to the heart of gamers. Classic platforming that pays homage to our gaming roots, games like Bennu (Once a Bird) give us very unique co-op experiences. Bennu is a puzzle platforming game with an intriguing "leap-frog" style co-op. That is to say, when a rope can connect with an environment, it can also connect to your swinging co-op partner for a little added boost in whatever direction you're headed. Bennu, from what we've derived from the trailer, is a bird-like-creature that has to maneuver its way through obstacles and bosses, using a unique physics engine to launch itself from place to place.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 Co-Op "Completely Revamped"

Don't let the title for this article mislead you, folks.  The actual co-op in Marvel Ultimate Alliance was great, and that seems to be unchanged.  There were some problems, though, with adding players, changing characters, etc.  The interface was a bit tedious when these tasks needed to be done.  According to Aeropause Games, after a sneak peek at M:UA2, this stuff is much better in the sequel.

Trine PS3 Priced at Half of the PC Version

Trine is getting close to release, as proof by the recent demo and uptick in chatter on the game.  But all isn't good with the Frozenbyte's game, not because of gameplay, but because of pricing.  According to Shacknews, the PlayStation Network version of Trine will cost $20 - and while that initially might seem high for a downloadable title - keep in mind the PC Retail release is listed at $40.
