EA Vancouver invited Co-Optimus to their headquarters in Redwood City to come check out the pre-alpha build of Skate 3, announced in September and due May 2010. We came away impressed; find out why in our hands-on preview.

Activision has announced that the demo for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 has hit the Xbox Live marketplace for Gold members.  The demo allows players to check out the Washington D.C. mission in the game and also allows local co-op play.

Also available on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 is the $10 DLC content pack which contains five new playable characters including Carnage, Cable, Psylocke, Black Panther and unveiled today - Magneto.  The DLC also includes four new challenge missions and boss encounters.  You may also optionally purchase the previously exclusive pre-order character Juggernaut for $1.99.

Sports games are inherently cooperative, providing a focus on teamwork and communication. But it's rare to find games that cater to that strength, instead the focus is on the competitive nature. Today we examine NBA Live 10 from EA Sports and what it offers to co-op NBA basketball fans.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launches next week on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.  We won't be getting a full co-op campaign, but we will be getting 23 Spec-Ops missions that are fully playable in two player local and online co-op.

The launch trailer was unveiled tonight and it'll get your blood pumpin' for the game.  It's filled with tension, guns, helicopters, and big explosions all set to Eminem's "Till I Collapse."

Codemasters has made good on their promise, and officially announced the first content pack for Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising.   The pack is called the Skirmish pack and features two new cooperative missions for four players as well as four new maps for competitive play.  There's also a new sandbox mode called Island Tour which can be played cooperatively.

 The new co-op maps are called All Round Defence, which looks to be a survival mode type map with support and attack helicopters as players defend a fortified complex against waves of PLA; and Uphill Struggle has players trying to capture a bunker under heavy fire from hillside reinforcements.

"The treasure is in the plaza" says Nathan.  All that stands in our way is a gigantic swarm of enemies that will lay their life on the line to protect it.  Or perhaps they want to steal it themselves?  No matter, our trio will shoulder on and steal what is rightfully ours.  If a few goons go down in the process, the world will be a better place for it.

Not to be outdone by Gears of War 2, the boys at Naughty Dog are having their own double weekend in Uncharted 2 - but instead of double the experience they are giving out CASH!  Money!  MOOOLAH!  Ok, so it's only in game money, but it sounds better than XP, no?

Be on the lookout for Naughty Dog devs playing as well, they'll be denoted with a little paw icon next to their tag.  Also, watch out for those evil red eyed skeleton things - we aren't quite sure what they are - but I bet they are made of bags of cash.

 You'll get 2x the money per round and per checkpoint bringing you more bags of cash than you can carry.  Bring a wheel barrow, tell a friend, lock the doors.  Big money!  Big prizes!  I LOVE IT!

Earlier this week we gave you a status update to some of the bugs in Borderlands.  Today we bring you good news as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game have received patches to tidy things up a bit.  

Yes, Lilith's phase walk now works correctly.

If only these guys decided to play the cooperative Spec Ops mode in Modern Warfare 2, instead of trash talking each other, perhaps there wouldn't have been a "snow mobile accident."  Wal-Mart is running a set of ads that feature the duo and the game, and for the most part, they are pretty entertaining.

But seriously, does anyone trash talk like this?

Fairytale Fights has already been released, but that didn't stop PlayLogic from releasing a launch trailer for the four player co-op title.  What's in store?  Blood.  Lots and lots of blood.  I also thing I spy some dismemberment, some kicks to the head, some matrix style camera work, and a handful of big dead wolves.  

This isn't a bedtime fairytale by any means.
