Co-Opticast Episode 22: Buy Trine
Believe it or not, this episode title is not a paid advertisement. Neither is the podcast. But for as much as we talk about the Trine demo and our enjoyment of it - well you might think Frozen Byte is kicking us a little something.
Mike and Nick dash at the latest co-op news, give impressions of Halo 3: ODST and a short review of Gunstar Heroes for the Xbox Live Arcade.
Finally there's a bit of demo discussion, and how a proper demo can be used to sell a game...like say...Trine.

The Co-Opticast can legally drink this week, and the lack of campaign co-op in Ghostbusters might just drive us to doing so! Speaking of that, Mike rants at great length about misplaced resources and Nick chimes in with his hands-on impressions of Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Mix in a liberal amount of co-op news and you've got our latest episode.

Mike and Nick and joined by Kat this week to discuss their pre-E3 thoughts. The plethora of news is broken down, including some Halo Wars DLC impressions, a Warhammer 40k Announcement and many more co-op delicious segments.
There's also the great debate of PC vs Console gaming explored, one that you might have thought was beaten to death. But Nick in his infinite wisdom conjured up a new way to look at it, from the co-op perspective.

All this, with additional snark, wrapped inside a lovely 45-minute package can be yours- if the price is right!
