As of today, the demo for Too Human is available on Xbox Live.  It weighs in at just over a gig.  I had the chance to play through it this afternoon; the demo, unfortunately, has no co-op, just single player campaign mode.  That was disappointing for sure, but the demo itself was impressive.  There's a real God of War feel to it, in that you are hacking through hordes of enemies with crazy weapons.  However, RPG elements like leveling up and gaining equipment add quite a bit of depth.  The cut scenes were well done, though at times it was unclear when you were actually in control.  The "cyberspace" wells are quite interesting, giving the game a feel a bit like Metroid Prime 2, where actions in one world effect the other.  My final playtime was around 50 minutes or so.  Now that you have my thoughts, why don't you tell us what you thought of the demo?  Awesome?  Boring?  Let us know!

Like a huge stone ball in a certain deserted temple, the highly anticipated release of the new Indiana Jones film is fast approaching.  The game tie in, based on the classic Indy movies, has launched a spiffy new website.  Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures will join the popular Lego series of games this summer.  The website has the expected features like trailers and screenshots, but also includes a neat little "treasure hunt" that unlocks certain content.  Best of all, the site links to a demo for the PC version of the game.  Unfortunately, the download for the demo is listed as "coming soon" at this time.  With the nostalgic appeal of the Indy series, joined with the great co-op fun of the Lego series, we can hardly wait to play the game.  Lego Indy launches on June 3, a full week and a half after the movie premieres.  Hopefully, the demo will be released soon to tide us over in the meantime.

There has been a shortage of major co-op news in the past few days, but the hard-working staff here at Co-Optimus still won't let you down.  Here are a few interesting items that you may have missed.

Shacknews reports that a demo for the recently released (and reviewed) Army of Two will be available next week.  The demo will be exclusive to XBox Live Marketplace.  If you were waiting for a price drop, or on the fence about the game, well, now you can try before you buy.  You can grab the demo beginning on April 1.

We recently reported about another XBLA release, Mr. Driller Online.  The Japanese Xbox.com page for the game reveals that it, too, will be released next week, on April 2.  Online and offline co-op will be included in the game.  Releases in other regions are unannounced  but likely will be very soon.

And finally, The Exploding Barrel has released an interesting list of the greatest co-op games of all time.  The list is about half classics and half current gen.  Many of the classics, have been released on XBLA or Virtual Console, which is good news for all of us.  Many of the games on the list are obviously worthy, but there are a few on the list that I've never played.  I guess I need to check out 'Toe Jam and Earl'.  What do you think of the list?  Was there anything left out that offends your co-op sensibilities?  Do any of the games on the list make you scratch your head and say "Huh"?  Just what do YOU consider to be the greatest co-op game of all time?
