E3 is right around the corner, July 13th through 17th to be exact, and with that comes our first coverage of the biggest show in the games industry. We'll be onsite to cover all the co-op games that are on hand, and hopefully bring you guys some great exclusive content like developer interviews and in game footage!
Today we bring to you a list of co-op games that we will have a chance to look at E3 next week while the rest of the crew hold down the fort here. All of these games we either have an appointment with or they will be shown off at a Press Conference we’ve been invited to. If any games have been missed, please let us know. Not all publishers are covered, only ones we have appointments with.
Read on for the full list of almost 20 co-op titles at E3 this year!
The original Brother's In Arms was a truly great game lost in the sea of dozens of other World War II Shooter titles. The game was different though, it was a gritty and realistic shooter with an emphasis on squad tactics and cover. Ubisoft has recently announced that the new Brother's game will be released on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on August 26th.
The good news is the game will feature 2 player co-op play through the campaign. Details are still sketchy on exactly how it's going to work, but we'll be sure to keep you updated. In the meantime watch a truly impressive video of the destroyable cover system in Brother's In Arms: Hell's Highway after the break.
