We've only just begun covering Six Days in Fallujah here on Co-Optimus, but it looks like that time has already come to an end, at least for now. Not because the game pulled out the co-op mode, no, that's still in there. No, it appears that in the face of controversy Konami has decided not to publish the title.
While we still don't know a date for the next Fable 2 expansion pack, we do know it'll come with new achievements, much like Knothole Island.
The Official Xbox Magazine UK has provided recipes to some game-themed mixed drinks (yes, alcoholic; cover your ears, kids). For the sake of our drinkers, hopefully they taste as good as they are pretty.

One of those, a fondly remembered classic, one that spawned several sequels, was Metal Slug.
Going to be a beautiful weekend for most folks across the country. Time to get outside with the DSi or PSP and enjoy the sun.
Here at Co-optimus.com, we tend to preach co-op in games that should pretty obviously have co-op. Well, this time we have backup from the people over at IGN, who recently made five simple suggestions about how to improve on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Ghostbusters.
