It appears that the Nintendo Wii is not getting the only breakaway Ghost Recon title this year: the PlayStation Portable will be the landing site for Ghost Recon Predator, a game completely different from Future Soldier but not necessarily its replacement.
According to developer Ubi Paris the story is set in Sri Lanka and features up to three players in ad-hoc (wireless LAN) co-op. The scant three screenshots we've seen so far on the PlayStation Blog don't give much information, except that it's apparent this will be another third-person outing. We'll bring you more info as it becomes available.

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon has been off the grid for awhile, but we're finally getting some glimpses of the multi-platform bombardment that Ubisoft has in store for us. In addition to Ghost Recon: Future Soldier the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation Portable will be getting their own Tom Clancy action.
This week we got our first look at Ghost Recon for Wii in motion. This is a completely standalone title, although it's unsure if it will be replacing Future Soldier on the Wii, or simply releasing alongside. Either way, the trailer looks like a fun on-rails shared screen romp for two players.

There's very few details on the upcoming Ghost Recon title called Future Soldier, but what we do know is the co-op game is going to kick some major ass - at least if it's any where near as awesome as this live action teaser trailer that was released.
The trailer shows the Ghosts kicking off a co-op mission the only way they know how, with badass technology liking cloaking suits that would make Harry Potter jealous. I got a serious Battlestar Galactica vibe from the trailer for some reason, as the futuristic weaponry that's almost grounded in reality really makes this setting appealing.

Details are starting to be released on the new Ghost Recon game entitled Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. We told you guys a little while back about the game's officially announcement accompanied with a teaser trailer, but didn't have much more information at that time. Now we have the joyous affirmation that yes, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will indeed feature co-op! Better yet, it's 4-player drop-in/drop-out co-op. What else will this new installment in the Ghost Recon series offer us, though?

You may recall past rumors of a new Ghost Recon game, rumors that we pretty much jumped at. We can't help it: twelve player co-op...four-player splitscreen online and locally...this is GRAW 2's legacy, and we can't help but drool over the prospects of yet more good tactical co-op action.
Finally, a new title in the series has been made official - welcome Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier to the long list of 2010 games that we'll be keeping our eye on. So far, co-op has not been confirmed...but in a smooth marketing move that suggests a likening of the two, Ubisoft has announced that anyone who purchases Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction will have access to a summer multiplayer beta program for Future Soldier.

The rumor started with Ubisoft's financial earnings, citing a new Ghost Recon game to be released before March 2010, specifically Ghost Recon 4. Now, the Australian ratings board has a listing for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Predator, which many are presuming to be the fabled Ghost Recon 4.
To me, the title sounds like a portable title. Resistance: Retribution...Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow...Killzone: Liberation...you see the pattern. However, the listing clearly states that the game is rated for mature audiences, and has a "CG (Multi Platform)" classification.
I'm personally looking forward to continuations of the Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six series, both of which have been co-op friendly this generation. Let's hope this rumor rings true.

Direct2Drive is celebrating their 5th birthday by offering a full month of $5 games. We're only at week 2, but already we're seeing some great deals on over 25 titles.
What co-op titles can you snag for $5?
That's a total steal right there for any of them. There's even some solid classic strategy games like Civilization IV, and a $5 deal on Bioshock!

2008 was a prime year for GRAW 2 here at Co-Optimus.
This week Chuck Husemann of Gaming Nexus broadcasted his list of games that he wanted to see at E3 on Twitter, and asked followers if there were any he'd missed. I won't be attending E3, but like most of the gaming world, I'll be watching intently for both hardware and game announcements; Chuck's question inspired me to wonder if we'll see a new Rainbow Six or Ghost Recon game this year.
At the end of April, Ubisoft released a financial report for the fiscal year 2007-2008 and accidentally revealed unreleased game information. Since then, one of the two major headline contenders -- Assassin's Creed 2 -- has been officially announced and partially detailed. The other is -- you guessed it: a new Ghost Recon title, known only as Ghost Recon 4. This new iteration had been a running rumor, and was not much of a surprise.
Shortly following the sudden internet buzz, an official announcement was made, although without any assets or details. Lack of information aside, I'm sure many Co-Optimers are eager to hear more about Ghost Recon 4; GRAW 2 was a very popular co-op game in 2008, and still generates interest in the Co-Optimus meetup thread on our forums.
