For five years now, we've been roleplaying Commander Shepard, making hard moral decisions about the fate of the galaxy, and pining about the lack of campaign co-op. With Mass Effect 3, we're still pining, but Bioware has graced us with a separate co-op mode. Can Mass Effect 3 successfully wrap up the trilogy as well as provide entertaining co-op? Let's find out.

It's not often I get the chance to write guest posts for other editors' regular features, but when I was asked to take over Co-Op Classics for this week, I knew what I had to feature. Secret of Mana was a huge title for me back in the SNES days, and it brought along the possibility of a grand adventure with three player co-op. Let me tell you about it!

As with almost all portable hardware releases these days, everybody wants to create laundry lists with their faults. At the top of most people’s list of 3DS grievances is the lack of a second analog stick/slider/whatever. This was also a problem for the PSP, but at least Sony could claim that they were treading new ground.

The tower defense genre is a crowded one, but variations on that theme can hit with great success, such as Co-Optimus favorite Dungeon Defenders, Orcs Must Die, and last year's FPS twist on the genre, Sanctum. 

Resident Evil 5 had strong co-op, and now we look to Resident Evil: Revelations to continue the trend. Can a portable side-story about Jill Valentine and her new pudgy partner Parker searching for Chris satisfy our co-op needs?

Kinect Star Wars may have been delayed, but it's finally arriving on April 3rd, as well as its limited-edition console bundle. Unfortunately, this is two days late to be an April Fool's joke, because the rumored Galactic Dance-Off mode will be coming along for the ride as well.

It's been a long time since we've had a proper NFL Blitz game, and we couldn't be more excited. Will a change in developers help or hinder this classic franchise?

Though The Old Republic is definitely an MMO in the post-WoW mold, what it does with the storyline brings me hope for co-op in future Bioware games. You see, whenever you're in a conversation with an NPC, your entire group attends the conversation with you. If a group member is not in the immediate vicinity, they are given the option to hop on via holographic projection.

Serious Sam has always been known as the standard-bearer for old-school arcade style FPS games, but can it survive in 2011? Serious Sam 3: BFE brings 16-player co-op to the table, so it's time to get serious and find out.

While our database always contains the most pertinent information for a game, sometimes the scope and questions that come up from the cooperative aspects extend past a simple entry.  That's where's our Co-Op FAQs come in.  Without further ado, our Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Co-Op FAQ is available.

It's been two years since we discovered the secrets hidden in the mountains of Tibet. Nathan Drake is back, headed to the desert, and he's bringing an improved co-op mode along for the ride. Will it soar to the heights of the single-player campaign, or will we once again be left wanting?

I hadn't heard of Sideway: New York until very recently. It's one of those stealth titles that sneaks in with a fairly low profile, but when I read up on the premise, I got excited. A crazy platformer where you're always stuck to the surface of the platform? Nice! A graffiti theme? Double nice! I loved Jet Grind Radio! How does it actually hold up? Let's find out.

Last Friday, Nick wrote up his overall impressions of the Diablo 3 Beta - which several of the staff members have been putting through its paces over the weekend. This week, we’ll be running through each class and how it feels to play, starting with the Wizard.

We all loved Borderlands. From countless co-op sessions to adventures with Painted Queens, nearly our entire community came together to tear apart the wasteland of Pandora in search of precious, precious guns. We all knew a sequel was bound to happen, and guess what? It is. In our inboxes this morning came glorious news for the Co-Op Revolution:
