Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II, the highly-anticipated sequel to Sonic 4, has a release date at last. And when I say that, I don’t mean just the XBLA and PSN versions have release dates. The PC and Windows Phone ports have them too! Even better news is that owners of both episodes will receive an extra-special bonus that harkens back to the days of Sonic & Knuckles. It's like Christmas in July.

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any better for Phantasy Star Online 2’s future, Sega surprises us even further, announcing that we’ll be able to take the game with us on the go in more ways than one.

Yep, looks like Sega will need to think of yet another way to re-invent the Blue Blur, as they have decided to possibly halt Sonic the Hedgehog 4 episodes indefinitely.

In about a month from now, new Tegra 3 devices will be announced, in which Borderlands 2 is said to make a grand appearance in the Tegra Zone.

Look, we like rainbow farting unicorns as much as the next guy, but Muffin Knight - a new game from Angry Mob Games available on iOS, Android and Mac - looks to be the real deal in terms of unicorn farting simulations.  Sure Red Faction: Armageddon might have been the first game to incorporate it, but you couldn't actually PLAY as the unicorn and fart exploding rainbows.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I, the long-awaited return to 2D gameplay for the Sonic series, met with a mixed reception when it debuted on consoles in 2010. Part of its back to basics approach included ditching longtime partner Miles 'Tails' Prower, the flying fox with a voice that makes you just want to smack him. And of course, this guaranteed that Episode I was a single-player affair. But SEGA has recently released a teaser trailer for Sonic 4: Episode II that promises the return of Tails, along with classic nemesis Metal Sonic. Dare we hope that Tails' presence means that Sonic 2-style co-op will return as well?

Dungeon Hunter, the popular mobile gaming franchise, is getting a third installment.  Appropriately titled Dungeon Hunter 3, the threequel is "Coming Soon," according to the Gameloft Facebook page.  Think of it as a portable version of those hack and slash RPG's we've all come to know and love, and then know some more, then love a little less...

On September 18th, the Android powered Sony Xperia Play 4G will launch on AT&T's network for $50 on two year contract.  While the device has already seen a release on Verizon for $200 (later cut to $99) - the AT&T release marks the cheapest version of the phone that is focused on gaming that's to the partnership with PlayStation.

Shortly after picking up an HTC MyTouch 4G Slide and realizing that I could finally run some high-res games on my phone, I hit the market and downloaded Dungeon Defenders: First Wave (which is now free for Android systems). Unfortunately a bug is preventing me from actually playing it, but while I wait I can indulge in its big brother - Dungeon Defenders - this October.

Today we're proud to announce the Co-Optimus Mobile App for Android phones.  This companion app to the website is your gateway into everything co-op while on the go.  With news, reviews, podcasts and our games database - you'll never be more than fingertips away from cooperative videogame information.

Dungeon Defenders: First Wave, the four player co-op RPG/Tower Defense game for mobile devices has some excellent news today.  

Today we're proud to announce the mobile version of the Co-Optimus website has officially launched.  With it comes a portable version of Co-Optimus, accessible by numerous devices like Android Phones, iPhones and BlackBerry smartphones.  The mobile site is built on HTML5 standards and utilizes a resource light view into the world of co-op gaming.  

Back at CES, the beautifully co-op game Dungeon Defenders showed off a bit of cross-platform action. We thought it was initially just to boast performance ratings out of the new Nvidia phone, but it turns out the game will be playable in co-op across a few platforms.

The incredibly popular Dungeon Defenders: First Wave is on sale for one day only, and that day is today.  Head on over to your Apple App Store or Android Marketplace for your copy.  It's only a buck! Make sure your phone meets the system requirements.  The install is a doozy. And you know I'm serious, because I never use the word "doozy" lightly.  Dungeon Defenders: First Wave supports four player online co-op.

Finally looking at some cross-platforming action, Dungeon Defenders brought PC, Droid Phone, and PS3 players together at CES. Now, the Droid phone has to be pretty high powered to do something like playing in the same game as the PC and PS3 players, so Nvidia pitched in a bit to give this handheld device the boost it needed to keep up. Ripten takes a look at the specs while both Co-optimus and Ripten awe at the co-op capabilities.
