The votes are tallied, the results are in. Uncharted 2 has become E3 2009's game of the show. If the response to our beta contest is any indication, this game is going to be insanely popular on the PlayStation 3 when its released later this year.
Uncharted 2 has taken home over 21 awards, including numerous game of shows from various media outlets. Whether it was awarded it for it's incredibly engaging single player story, or for the brand new co-op modes - well that's yet to be seen.
Ready, aim, co-op! Lost Planet 2 is taking co-op to new places in this sequel, starting from the ground up with co-op at its core. Lost Planet 2 will be mixing team based strategy with co-op specific classes and challenges, to keep the team working together. Gametrailers.com has the exclusive E3 interview that covers the basics of co-op for Lost Planet 2.
Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived four characters who craved fame. You see, they used to be the talk of the kingdom – boys and girls around the entire world loved them, and their names were recognizable wherever one would go. Things change, new stories get told, and beloved old storytime characters get lost in the shuffle. You ever stop to think that maybe those characters don’t want to fade away? That maybe they’ll do anything to get back in the limelight of their former glory? In Playlogic and Game Factory’s Fairytale Fights, this is exactly the case – and things get bloody. Very bloody.
Sometimes the words "digitally remastered" is like music to our ears, especially in the case of our Nintendo 64 classics! This time, we've got the original Perfect Dark on the Xbox LIVE Arcade, thanks to Rare and Microsofts team up. Perfect Dark has an updated, smoothed out frame rate, as well as being rendered in high definition. Joanna Dark would be proud, as long as it's not all just another one of those galactic conspiricies.
Brink, one of the few pleasant surprises at E3 this year. One that has a handful of great features, including Co-op, beautifully stylized visuals, a terrain defeating "SMART" system, and loads of others. With it's presentation, Lead Producer Paul Wedgewood gave a nice tour of The Arc.

With summer blockbuster movies, for better or worse, come the movie tie-in games. In the case of G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra, we're happy to see Co-op, but very curious to know exactly how the game itself works. Kotaku got the chance to play the game at E3 using co-op, and we have their impression to share.
An instant fan favorite, the Dead Space video game brand has made appearances in comic books, movies, and finally a second game. This game is not anything like the original, while keeping the true to the original idea. Dead Space: Extraction is an on-rails shooter title exclusive to the Wii with our favorite feature, Co-op. We've seen a bit on this game, getting closer to release we're finally hearing some hands on experiences with it which we would love to share!

Last month we showed off 'Splosion Man, but with limited gameplay information at the time. Now, the developers sent out a video with commentary on the demo of the game at E3, showing us what to expect with 'Splosion Man's 4 player co-op through over 100 levels in the game. Buckle your seat belts for this one, it's a pretty wild ride!
