Monday Night Combat has received a permanent price drop. The competitive/cooperative third person shooter was going for 1200 MSP ($15), but you can pick it up now, and forever, for 800 MSP ($10). Unless, of course, there's a sale.

Crushing robot hugs for everyone!

Instead of long-term gaming, what have I done instead? Spent my time playing smaller games with quick missions or games that are easily picked up and put back down. Though it’s difficult to tear myself away, I feel that this limited gaming has helped preserve my sanity during these dreaded finals...

I am not sure if I’m noticing my own habits of buying games that are similar all at once, or if the world is conspiring to release an onslaught of similar games one after another. This is where you decide. Do you see handfuls of games that appear to be coincidentally similar?

For This Week in Co-op, Kat and Tally got together online for some much needed recuperation time via Monday Night Combat (on a Monday for once! Crazy!).

Deals of the Week, One Day Sales, Special Offers, Gold Membership pricing, the list goes on.  There is a ton of content for sale over at the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, and much of it supports co-op.  Lists get awfully boring, unless their designed to save you money.  Check out these sale items.

Anyone that knows me knows that I'm a HUGE fan of Smash T.V.  The original two player co-op arcade game has a place near and dear to my heart.  So when Uber Entertainment decided to create a new version of the game for their April Fools joke utilizing Monday Night Combat characters I was both amazed, excited and heart broken all within the same 10 second span.  It even has four player co-op.   You're killing me Uber...you're killing me.

Starting now, you can download Monday Night Combat from Steam for free and play until 1PM on Sunday, March 20th.  You'll enjoy the full game, including all of the dlc, for the low low price of zero.  If you decide you want to keep the game, it's on sale for 33% off the normal price - making it only $9.99.  And if you're feeling generous you can pick up a four pack of the game to play the four player co-op Blitz mode for only $29.99.

Happy Valentine's Day from Uber Entertainment.  The developers of Monday Night Combat  have a new update out for the Steam version of the title on PC.  There are a number of features, adjustments, and fixes, which you can see below.  New Crimson Gear is available for all the pros.  It might sound tough, but it's really just Valentine's Day-themed armor.  In honor of Valentine's Day, Uber also has a super-sensual music video, "You are My Pitgirl," which you can also see below.  It's no "D!@% in a Box," but what is?

• “Hello, Marc.  This is Andrew, Cubninja, from Co-Optimus.  I think Monday Night Combat is a great choice.  I see that you are away.  If you are looking for me, I’ll appear offline because my status...” End of recording.  Xbox LIVE only gives you about fifteen seconds to record, so you have to be succinct, which I detest.
• “Hey, Marc, this is Andrew.  Good choice on the Monday Night Combat.  I have to download the new DLC, too.  I’m going to appear offline because I get too many notifications from...” Dammit.
• “Hi, Marc, it’s Andrew.  Monday Night Combat sounds good.  Downloading the DLC now.  My status will say “offline” to keep the notifications from...” Shoot.
• “Marc, Andrew. MNC is cool.  Downloading DLC now.  Status offline to keep notifications down. Too many notifications enrage me. Let’s play when you’re ready.” Close enough.  

Monday Night Combat has launched today via Valve's Steam service.  With it comes not just a port of the Xbox Live Arcade original, but a game that's been carefully tweaked, balanced, and customized for PC gamers.  The game has gone through an extensive beta process yielding a really balance and fun experience in both versus and co-op.   Along with your standard PC settings like cutomized graphics options and lots of tweaks for the mouse and keyboard - you'll also find yourself enjoying dedicated servers!

Uber Entertainment's Monday Night Combat is on sale today on Xbox Live as part of the Countdown to New Years promotion Microsoft has been running.  The price is a measily 600  which is 50% off its normal asking price.  In terms of real money, that's about $7.50 instead of $15.

This edition of On The Download addresses the dangerous mental, social, and emotional disorder known as Hoarding. Hoarders are people who feel they need to hold on to everything they’ve ever touched. This week we’ll be taking a look at a handful of dragons effected by Hoard-ing on the PSN.

Uber Entertainment have officially announced a PC version of Monday Night Combat.  The title will be available through Valve's Steam service with a full release on January 17th, 2011.   All the modes of the original Xbox Live Arcade title will be present, including the four player co-op Blitz mode with the included Spunky Cola DLC.

About a month and a half ago, XBLA's Monday Night Combat got their title update which consisted of various tweaks and fixes. Upon its launch, they told fans that a free DLC pack was on the way. That DLC, entitled Spunky Cola Special Free DLC, launches tomorrow, packed with new arenas, private game options, balance tweaks, and yes, oh yes, churros! Sounds like a pretty good haul for, well, $0. Read on for the full release notes:
