The Last Story Will Have Online Co-op

There hasn't been much buzz about Mistwalker's The Last Story around Co-Optimus, mostly (entirely) because it has no co-op content.  This has changed.  The Japanese action RPG for the Wii will feature 6 player competitive and co-operative modes.  Through the game's "Raid Lobby," players will be able to face off against each other or team up to fight a powerful creature.  It sounds like it will be some sort of arena mode.

Eat Them!, a Rampage-Style Co-op Game Coming to PSN

Giant monsters are coming to the PlayStation Network next year.  Eat Them! is a Rampage-style game where you create your own custom monster and ravage a city.  If you are not familiar with Rampage, it's best known for the moment where you change from a giant lizard into a naked woman and then try to sneak off screen while covering your shame.  At least that's what I remember most about it.  Eat Them! takes Rampage's flat 2D monster mayhem and blasts it into destructive 3D goodness.  The game will feature lots of smashing, explosions, and eating.These beasts are people powered, so you will have to chow down on the city-folk to keep your energy up.  Hence the name: Eat Them!

Rock Band 3 Will Charge to Use Keyboard and Harmony on Songs Already Owned

Rock Band 3 is a great game.  We say as much in our review.   Unfortunately, fans may be disappointed to hear that Harmonix  is taking a move right out of the Star Wars franchise playbook, in that they will be charging gamers again and again for the same content.  If you already own a song for Rock Band 2 you will need to purchase it again if you want to have the keyboard or vocal harmony portions.

Dungeon Defenders Delayed Till Next Year on PC and Consoles

While we had hoped to get Dungeon Defenders this year on Xbox Live, PC and PlayStation Network; it looks like we'll have to wait a little longer.  According to a post on the official forums by Trendy Entertainment's Jeremy Stieglitz, the four player co-op tower defense RPG is going to be out in January instead.  It's not that the game isn't done - in fact, it's complete.  The problem seems to stem from the fact it's a multiplatform release and certain "platform owners" are holding things up.
