I have a special place in my heart for nerdy things related to old PC culture. Perhaps it reminds me of an innocent youth in front of my 386DX messing with config.sys and autoexec.bat files trying to determine if I should include or not include himem.sys. Still with me? If you are, then I've got a game that plays to those memories quite well. The game is call Retrovirus, from indie developer Cadenza, and it not only features plenty of geeky throwbacks and a full co-op campaign in 6DOF.

We're back with another co-op walkthrough of the latest chapter in Halo 4's Spartan Ops campaign.  We're up to chapter 7 this week, with the missions once again being mixed up quite a bit from the previous formula.  There's three brand new maps to play on, with the majority of them taking place aboard Infinity itself.  These missions also feature some of the most intense firefights we've seen to date in Spartan Ops.

What do you get if you sell 2 million copies on the Wii U?  Co-Op!  Nintendo have released sales figures for their new console and it makes good reading for fans of co-op titles New Super Mario Bros. Wii U and NintendoLand.  Both have managed to sell over 2 million copies.  Elsewhere, sales of the console are not looking quite as rosy.

Back in August, Xbox Live's Major Nelson let slip that the long-requested but previously unannounced online co-op mode for Scott Pilgrim: vs. The World would actually be coming. Legions of comic and beat-em-up fans rejoiced... until the 'Online Multiplayer Wallace Pack' was pushed back to an undisclosed date less than two weeks later. At last, that date has been revealed: February 5th on PSN and the 6th on XBLA. Surely Major Nelson and Ubisoft aren't kidding this time, right?

Junction Point Studios has officially been disbanded by Disney after their final game, Epic Mickey 2, flopped in the game market during 2012 holiday season.

Fuse has suffered a slight delay. The sci-fi-themed, third-person shooter was scheduled for a March release. Now it won't see the light of day until *gasp* April, May, or June. Oh. That's not so bad. Developer Insomniac Games confirmed the delay via their Twitter account. So don't freak out. It's a small delay during which Insomniac can polish the game until it's nice and shiny. The developer also tweeted that they have "TONS of new Fuse stuff coming starting next week." Heck yeah. If there's one thing I love, it's TONS of stuff. 

Indie PC game Orion: Dino Beatdown is a co-op shooter filled with fantastic ideas like pitting space dudes against dinosaurs. Unfortunately, the actual game had so many awkward design decisions and mistakes, it felt like the developers hadn't played a FPS game in the last five years. After debuting to scathing reviews like our own, Orion received one major update - but the PR damage had already been done. Rather than continue cooking a dead turkey, developer Spiral Game Studios has decided to start fresh (after a fashion) by releasing a sequel: Orion: Dino Beatdown - Jurassic Edition.

The Xbox LIVE Marketplace is having a huge sale on EA games, many of which support some form of cooperative play. I know some of you think EA is an all-powerful, nightmarish entity that usually passes time by eating children and kicking puppies, but when the publishing juggernaut is not being evil it happens to put out some pretty cool games. 

We've got a plethora of Dead Space 3 news for you today, some downright cool and some downright controversial.  While the previous Dead Space games were known for their ability to isolate you, making you feel lonely and helpless, the new game is allowing you to bring a buddy along for the ride in its two player online co-op mode.  But that's not the only way you can get help - an extensive list of resources can be purchased via micro-transactions.

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation has received a fresh batch of premium DLC adding in new maps, news enemies, and a brand new survival mode for you to play with your co-op partner.  The maps for survival now have a set progression to them and they also include environmental hazards that you can ensnare enemies in.

Oh, Baldur's Gate. If you've been serious at all about RPGS on the PC over the past 15 years, you've probably at least heard of this classic RPG that set Bioware on its way to becoming a household name. In our review we'll both address what's new in the Enhanced Edition as well as the general gameplay for newcomers to the game.

Call that a bullet wound solider?  That is merely a scratch.  Back in the day I would be out there glitching all over the place and no one could do anything about it.  Today you can be patched up and sent back into the field better than new.  So go forth Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and prosper.  Check out Read More for the full details of the latest uber-patch for the 360 version of Black Ops 2.  Woo-Hah.
