Atlus Bringing Co-Op Action RPG to U.S.May 21st, 2009 at 9:00 AM by Jason "OrigamiPanther" Love

Publishing company Atlus, best known for the Shin Megami Tensei/Persona series of games, announced yesterday that it would be bringing From Software's, best known for the Armored Core series, action RPG Demon’s Souls to our shores.  Being billed as a “hardcore RPG,” this title, which saw a February release date in Japan, features the one element that we here at Co-Optimus always want to see more of: co-op.  Two other players will be able to join you in your quest to hack, slash, and quest your way through goblins, dragons, and other fantastical creatures.

The premise of the game is nothing terribly new (i.e., a king dabbles in powers beyond his comprehension, awakens a terrible evil, and you’ve got to set things right), but the game mechanics seem to be where this particular game truly shines.

'Spyborgs' Infiltrate the Wii in 2009June 05th, 2008 at 12:02 PM by Marc "DjinniMan" Allie

Capcom has announced the arrival of Spyborgs, coming next year to the Wii.  The Spyborgs are a team of five bionic superspies who work together to save the world (naturally).  The game will have the look and feel of a Saturday morning cartoon, and Capcom promises to use the Wii remote in new and innovative ways.  Of particular interest to our readers will be the featured two player co-op play.  Spyborgs looks to have an entertaining style full of humorous moments as the five team up to beat the bad guys!  Read the full press release after the break.
