Like a modern day Nostradamus, Co-Optimus prides itself on being able to predict the future. A while back we had a powerful vision that the 3 player co-op game Awesomenauts would make its way onto PC and this has come to pass courtesy of Steam.
Alien movies are known for their gruesome horror, and having pushed the boundaries of Sci-Fi to where it stands today. Taking that into account, we think you should watch this video involving Gearbox’s game development of Aliens' post events in Aliens: Colonial Marines.
Retro’s seem to be all the rage these days, as we have recently discovered that the cult video game series, ToeJam and Earl will be arriving on XBLA and PSN in their crazy adventures of ToeJam and Earl and ToeJam and Earl in Panic on Funkotron.
PAYDAY: The Heist is getting even more much-needed love. The criminally delightful squad shooter recently received some free DLC via a non-canon Left 4 Dead crossover: "Mercy Hospital." This Steam exclusive mission was a nice touch for the mouse and keyboard set, but what about the PS3 gamers? Don't worry your pretty little heads. Overkill Software has got you covered.
The Year of the Action RPG continues! Heroes of Ruin has been a long time coming and arrives complete with an impressive array of co-op features. Will it prove to be a portable hack & slash paradise? Let's dig in and find out.
New details on Resident Evil 6 are surfacing today. We know the survival horror/extreme action title (apparently Capcom doesn't know the difference) is centered on three cooperative campaigns. In addition to the co-op gameplay there will be a little something extra for the more competitive gamers out there. RE 6 has a new mode for all the griefers, player killers, and all-around unloved evil people out there.
There is a certain game that hits today on PSN offering some twin-stick shooter style gameplay with co-op and a few well-known movie guys. At least one Co-Optimus staff member is super excited and, as is my understanding, has been eating more meat than usual in order to become "manly enough to handle it." However, if you're a bit leary of movie tie-in games, and looking for a game with perhaps a little more substance, then perhaps you'll be interested in the Recruits.
To say July was a bit underwhemling on the gaming front would be an understatement. The month was mostly barren for news and releases, giving true meaning to the summer gaming drought. The good news is a lot of backlog games were finally played.
While PC owners dove into the icy waters of Cold Stream last week in Left 4 Dead 2, 360 owners were left out in the...uh..cold. Luckily the delay for the console version is short lived, with the official Left 4 Dead twitter account announcing the content will be available for purchase this Friday, August 3rd.
When the original Borderlands was released, umbrella sales went through the roof. It was the only way that people could protect themselves from the shower of blood and limbs in the game. Personally, I like my rain filled with meaty chunks, but others may not. Therefore, news that Borderlands 2 will have a gore filter will be music to their still attached ears.

If you're like me, you've been ho-humming through the summer, waiting for the onslaught of upcoming fall games. There have been a few shiny distractions here and there, but nothing has really held my interest, until today. I fired up the new demo for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron and lo and behold, I actually wanted to play it again, and again, and maybe even one more time after that. I don't know if I'm that starved for the next big thing, but this demo at least provided an appetizer.
