Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition is giving us some pretty snazzy content to go with it. Where did all this content come from merely a year after the full games release? Well, the games director has a bit to say about the "Lost in Nightmares" chapter. "Lost in Nightmares" is the content that fills in the story when Chris and Jill confront Wesker in the mansion. The Directors Blog has some details about where this "deleted scene" came from, and how they fit it in with the Gold content.

'Splosion Man is the zany platformer exclusive to the Xbox LIVE Arcade that had gamers excited for co-op this past summer. We all seem to enjoy timing our simultaneous explosions in co-op with one of four different colored 'Splosion Men. Now that the games technical issues have been patched, I've given the co-op another go, and was inspired to share this audio recording I discovered in one of the labs.* Our own OrigamiPanther has helped me transcribe this tape to be shared here today.

At the recent CES convention, Microsoft unveiled their new retro-arcade social channel called the "Microsoft Game Room" which will allow players to play original gaming titles (many of which were co-op in their original state) together on the Xbox 360. This Game Room will have original, unaltered arcade classics at your disposal. However, if you were one of the many people interested in the retro arcade titles available on Xbox LIVE Arcade, including Turtles in Time: Re-shelled, Bionic Commando: Rearmed, or Contra, when the new "Microsoft Game Room" launches you'll be re-buying those titles.

Microsoft claims that the repurchase is because these titles are the original quality, whereas games like Turtles in Time: Reshelled, or Bionic Commando: Rearmed are basically remakes of the original games of the same title. These titles will be less expensive, from 250 to 400 - but will this lowered price be enough to lure you in to re-buy games that you, in essence already own?

Some of us started in Arcades, others played Blades of Steel until 2am during slumber parties. Gamasutras Joshua Stern spent a lengthy entertaining blog titled "Go Team Co-op" discussing his life with co-op games. We want to know how co-op influences your gaming, where you got started, and why co-op is important in your lives.

Indie developer James Silva has captured our co-op hearts in a most gory and interesting way. Previously recognized for the dark 2 player co-op Dishwasher: Dead Samurai XBLA title and the quirky local co-op I MAED A GAME W1TH Z0MB1ES 1N 1T!!!1 indie title, James seems to be taking his previous ideas and blending them for a new co-op indie game called Charlie Murder. Charlie Murder will be showing its game face in March, originally believed to be a sequel to Dishwasher. We don't have a price point just yet, but when we do you'll be the first to know.
 

"Based around the lives of fictional punk band Charlie Murder, Ska Studios' latest tasks players with rescuing frontman Charlie's girlfriend, Skelekitten, from the vile clutches of rival metal group Gore Quaffer. Expect lots of ninjas on motorcycles, zombies, and other unspeakable horrors standing in the way of justice."

After a surprising call by a gaming analyst promising the end of Borderlands before it had a chance, the game blew expectations out of the water. How does it happen that a game with such a grim prediction tops over 1 million copies sold? IGN has a theory, and we can't help but agree with it. Borderlands is a game made for gamers, not made to draw in new gamers.
