With the upcoming release of Dragon's Dogma sans the inclusion of a proper co-operative mode, Capcom fans have been up in arms with the lack of a true multiplayer experience. However, asynchronous co-op could lead to an interesting way of being able to interact with your friends without actually playing at the same time as them.

When a game presents you with a combination of dinosaurs and futuristic guns, the normal reaction is to scream in excitement while running around the room like a child. Orion Dino Beatdown had the opposite effect on me. A great premise stunted by poor design and limited scope, this budget title fails on so many levels. What should have been a five man co-op Paleozoic romp turned out to be a broken, barely playable mess.

Talus Studios has begun their funding for a new co-op RTS hybrid game through...you guessed it - Kickstarter. Dark Meridian is a fusion of real time strategy, role playing, and a third person shooter. It allows you to take a persistent character into a battle as both a strategic leader and a frontline fighter. Combining all three genres in one massive war is a daunting task, so if you want it to happen here is the perfect chance to help these guys out.

A Valley Without Wind is difficult to describe because it shatters any confines of genre. It can be described as rogue-like, or even a platformer. It actually feels like a dungeon crawler, but it simultaneously acts like an adventure game. There's magic, mining, and exploration and when you try and wrap your head around it...well, you may end up with a headache. All of these influences come together to form a Frankenstein monster of a game that only a certain type of gamer will appreciate.

I was skeptikcal Bioware announced that Mass Effect 3 was going to have a co-op mode. As information trickled out to the masses, I drew conclusions that it was going to be a tacked-on horde mode rip-off that was added to the game in order to fill a checkbox requirement. I was being selfish, I didn’t want anything to sour my experience thus far in my wonderful space opera that I have been journeying through for the past five years. Having the Galactic Readiness level correlate to your multiplayer progress and allowing it to alter your single player ending was an ingenious way to force me to dip into the multiplayer even before I had finished the game. Well played Bioware, well played.
