With guest appearances by my crying baby and my cats, it's one of the largest casts we've ever unintentionally assembled for an episode! Check it out!

New details have emerged for the co-op features of Id Software's upcoming apocalypse IP, Rage.

If you've hunted one monster, you've hunted them all - right? Not quite. God Eater Burst busts onto the on the go co-op monster hunting scene for the PlayStation Portable. Featuring an in-depth story, anime style cut scenes, and four player co-op - God Eater Burst looks solid...but is it?
Hunted: The Demon's Forge is looking to extend its longevity. A new dungeon creator mode has been revealed, simply titled "Crucible." Gold earned during the campaign can be used to buy new items for the dungeon tool. Potential dungeon engineers will be given a grid and multiple options to craft a challenging level for their friends. You can even upload your Crucible to share with others online. It's like being a Dungeon Master, only without stupid rule books or that silly screen! We have a very informative video after the break that explains just how the Crucible tool will work.
We haven't heard much from The Cursed Crusade lately. Videos were released in November and January, and now we have some fresh screens for you. In The Cursed Crusade, players will take the role of Templar Denz or thief Esteban in a quest to free themselves from "a curse that threatens to consume their immortal souls."

We'll have more for you in the upcoming months, before the game releases for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC this summer.

It's time once again for a video edition of Co-Op Classics. Typically, we try to create videos for two of our previously featured classics in a video edition. However, this time around, the game was so massive and full of cool action that it deserved an edition of its own! It's time for Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom!
Dungeon Hunter: Alliance has made the transition from the iOS to the PlayStation Network. Four players can get together on the couch or online for a diabolic dungeon crawl. Is this the Diablo-clone you're looking for? Find out, in our Co-Op Review.
The Manx is out of the bag. The fourth character rounding out the Dungeon Siege 3 cast is one Reinhart Manx. He joins Lucas Montbarron, the warrior; Anjali, the fire spirit; and Katarina the gunslinger. He's a magic user with some powerful melee capabilities. In other words, he punches people...with magic!
