I recommend checking out WipEout HD.  It's a beautiful title on the system and a ton of fun.

Like free things?  You do?  Oh good.  Did you like FLOCK!?  That quirky co-op puzzle game from Capcom where you heard up farm animals.  It was just alright?  Yeah we kinda agree.  But that doesn't mean the soundtrack wasn't really cool.  Now the kind folks at Capcom have released the full soundtrack in digital form for FREE!  Sweet.

Capcom is also offering the Resident Evil 5 soundtrack for download through Sumthing Digital.com for only $9.99.  Sound steep?  Well you do get 87 tracks, so that's like....$0.37 a track!  If you want the three disc version you can get it from Amazon too, but that'll cost you a little bit more.

FLOCK! is a game of herding, and abducting sheep in a challenging puzzle format. With an interesting art style, witty humor, and co-op play FLOCK! is sure to entertain most, but is it worth your dollar? Find out in our review.

FLOCK! may only be a week or two old, but the two player local co-op game most likely had a hard time selling at its $15 price point . That's where Amazon comes in!  Thanks to their brand new Xbox Live Arcade store you can snag FLOCK! for a $5 off it's normal price.

Keep an eye on the site as we'll have a co-op review of this sheepingly interesting title sometime next week!

Another promotion Amazon is running - purchase a 1600 MS Point code from Amazon or a 4000 MS Point code from Amazon and you'll get $5 or $10 credit respectively towards another code purchase from the site.  So you could pick up 4000 points and get FLOCK! for free!  Score!  Notice all the !?  Ok then....

We've been covering it for weeks, but FLOCK! is finally here.  The two player co-op game from Capcom has players controlling UFOs gathering up heards of animals into the Mother Flocker.  

The game features a two player local co-op mode where players can work together to solve the physics and land based puzzles in the game.  FLOCK! also sports a really unique look with very stylized graphics and features a level editor that allows players to create and share levels.

FLOCK! is available on the PC now via Steam and other digital distrubution services for $14.99.  You can also find Flock on Xbox Live Arcade for 1200 and tomorrow on the PlayStation Network for $14.99.

Flock, the co-op puzzler from Capcom, hits the Xbox Live Arcade, PC, and PlayStation Network this week.  To celebrate Capcom has released a video that no one ever expected to see - Street Fighter's Blanka, that green dude that does electric, rolling his way down hills and over sheep. 

I'm not sure if this is the only hidden character in the game, but it certainly feels a bit out of place in such a stylized world.  Either way it'll be fun to toss around Blanka with your buddy in the game's two player co-op mode.

As we herd our way closer to Flock's early April release date, more and more info about the puzzle game is unveiled.   The latest video shows off the game's built in level editor, which allows users to not only create levels but share them as well.

In fact, the game offers an achievement for playing through a single player level and a co-op multiplayer level.  Sounds like a Flocking good time to me.  But not quite as good a time as these guys had with sheep.

Flock is set to release on the Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC starting April 7th.

I am totally in love with this game, and it hasn't even been released yet!  Flock... it's a video game news editor's dream.  Not only is the title itself ripe for puns, but it features livestock and spaceships, both deep wells of bad joke material.  Now, the achievements have been released.  I won't pull the wool over your eyes: they are funny, and in a real baaaaaad way.  Let me steer you over to the list; I think you'll find it quite moooooving.  Here are my favorites, surely worthy of a blue ribbon at the state fair.

GOOD SHEPHERD - Flock 25 Animals At Once.  (That's impressive, folks, even for an inbred hillbilly with 11 toes.)

LUMBERJACK THE RIPPER - Rip Up 50 Trees.  (Bonus points if you dress in womens' clothing and hang around in bars.) 

FERTILIZER - Make 50 Piles of Poo.  (Is that in one, uh... SITting?)

DON'T FENCE ME IN - Knock Over 50 Fences With A Cow.  (Does it have to be the same cow?  Seems like it'd be hamburger after the first 30...)

UNIDENTIFIED FLOCKING OBJECT - Abduct 20 Animals.  (Mike, I have an idea for a T-Shirt design...)

Stick around for a new trailer of the game in action...

Capcom's Flock is an upcoming unique strategy game that's similar to Lemmings.  Your job is to heard..uh...heards of animals into the mother flocker (no I'm not making that up) by solving physics and environmental puzzles.

There's a new video showing off the seasons the game has on display, from summer to winter, fall and spring as well as a new night mode.  Graphically the game just oozes a unique style that makes the game world look like a patchwork quilt. 

While the new video doesn't show any co-op play, the game will support two player online or offline play.  It won't be long till we'll all be Flocking together as the game hits Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and PC early next month.
