Our friends over at Colony of Gamers managed to steal Brink's Lead Designer, Richard Ham, for some candid questions about the upcoming 8 player co-op title.  Richard was deeply involved with Fable 2 while at Lionhead, which are always responsible for a deep gameplay experience.  

They CoG Boys chat about the lack of female characters, working with a smaller studio and the type of gameplay experience you can expect from Brink.  With this and Borderlands there are some really solid Action/RPG Co-Op games coming soon.

Splash Damage has unleashed a handful of screens for their upcoming four player co-op game, Brink.  The game promises seamless drop-in and drop-out play for up to four player throughout the entire game.  There's also dynamic missions and goals generated based on player class and skill.  Sounds interesting, looks pretty, and we want it now.

Brink developer Edward Stern gets passionate about his co-op, wondering why we can't have the best of all worlds more often!
