Sadly, I still haven't encountered kamikaze children - yet.

Frank West is back, baby!  The protagonist from the first Dead Rising will return in Dead Rising 2: Case West.  Great, now we have a photographer who can record all the hot duct-tape-on-zombie action for science.  Frank West and Chuck Greene will team up in the epically episodic epilogue to Dead Rising 2.  Online co-op will be supported.

Two Worlds 2's Sordahon has had one heck of a journey on his quest to become the number one bad guy in the game.  With a January release for the 8 player co-op title right around the corner, it seems his journey is coming to a close.  With such an epic road behind him, the conclusion to this quest can only be accomplished in one manor - with an 80s inspired musical number.

Hoard is a variety of things we come to adore in arcade titles. It’s part dual stick shooter, part leveling RPG, part strategy, and even a dash of co-op that we so adore on the side. Even with all of those elements the gameplay is fairly straight forward and simple enough to learn for many players.

About a month and a half ago, XBLA's Monday Night Combat got their title update which consisted of various tweaks and fixes. Upon its launch, they told fans that a free DLC pack was on the way. That DLC, entitled Spunky Cola Special Free DLC, launches tomorrow, packed with new arenas, private game options, balance tweaks, and yes, oh yes, churros! Sounds like a pretty good haul for, well, $0. Read on for the full release notes:

Happy Gift Giving and Getting Season, people! We start off our holiday buyer's guide with the Xbox 360. In this little guide we'll have something for everyone; from those of you new to Microsoft's game box to the FPS player looking for an edge. Read on and enjoy!

Jon Favreau, director of the Iron Man and Iron Man 2 films (and season-appropriate comedy Elf), is currently editing Cowboys and Aliens. The film - based on the comic series of the same name - stars Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, and Olivia Munn...but you probably already knew all that.

Halo Reach's first piece of downloadable content has hit the digital shelves today, showcasing three new multiplayer maps for the game.  Sadly - none of these maps feature co-op support for Firefight - they are a versus only affair.

November has come and gone, and once again, it was one of the busiest months for gaming.  We had almost 20 new co-op games released, 11 of which we reviewed.  Black Ops was the biggest story of the month, garnering in millions of buyers and thousands of visitors to Co-Optimus looking for the latest cooperative info on the title.  Thing should calm down for December, allowing you time to catch up on gaming and spending time with the family over the holidays...hopefully playing co-op games.  

There's a few deals this week for Xbox Live Gold members and among them are two co-op titles.  

And so it is complete.  Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light has been patched on the PC to support online co-op play.  This brings to end a  3 month journey where the feature was delayed on all platforms and slowly patched into each version.
