THQ has unveiled the collector's edition for Warhammer 40K: Space Marine, the upcoming 3rd person action game set in the gritty Warhammer universe. While details of the cooperative gameplay elements of Space Marine have yet to be revealed, we do know the game will offer some sort of co-op mode or modes.
Square-Enix have announced a brand new game for the Nintendo 3DS called Heroes of Ruin. From the official press material the game looks to be an action/RPG that is inspired by many of the Japanese style RPG experiences like Monster Hunter and Pokemon. The goal though in Heroes of Ruin is focused on item collection, rather than the collection of monsters.

It's been a long time coming, but it appears the wait for the XBLA release of Radiant Silvergun has an end in sight. We hadn't heard much about it since last year's Tokyo Game Show, but now more information has been released, a good sign that the release is nearing closer. In addition to local two-player co-op, the Xbox Live Arcade port boasts two-player online co-op. The standard leaderboards, as well as the ability to watch replays from around the world, will let you share your uber shmup skills with everyone. Enhanced graphics and an "Ikaruga shooting style mode" round out the package. Radiant Silvergun is still listed as a general 2011 release, and will cost 1200 MS space bucks.
Publisher Deep Silver just sent over the official box art for Dead Island in North America on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Its not too revealing, though we have one kneeling zombie in the front who looks like he could be a companion to Nathan Drake on his next expedition - he's only missing the half tuck. There appears to be a hurricane going on, which can never be good when trying to contain a zombie outbreak.
Possibly the worst thing that happened during the PlayStation Network outage of the past month was the theft of personal information. This includes not only names and email addresses, but also credit card numbers. While the data was encrypted it obviously doesn't mean its safe. There's plenty of anecdotal evidence of people's credit cards being used for fraud, and many banks - mine included - decided to reissue new cards just to be on the safe side.
The Gears of War trailers have always been about the use of music to set the mood. While previous trailers might have been more thought provoking, using Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" pretty much sets the tone for this one. That tone for Gears of War 3 is big, gritty, and explosive.
Welcome to Beyond Co-Op, a weekly piece that talks about industry stories that may or may not be related to co-op gaming.
Has anyone else been reminiscing about Secret of Mana lately? Because I sure have - I even mentioned as much to our own Andrew "Cubninja" Gaskill last night. In any case, it has recently been brought to our attention that a new indie PC title called Wanderlust: Rebirth is not only in development, but releases next month!
It's Memorial Day weekend! The traditional beginning of summer has finally arrived.
