NBA Live 10 Co-Op ReviewNovember 05th, 2009 at 8:53 AM by Loren "AgtFox" Halek

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.

South Park: Let's Go Tower Defense Play! Co-Op ReviewNovember 04th, 2009 at 7:27 PM by Katrina "ShadokatRegn" Pawlowski

Ginger kids, old people, underpants gnomes and other general threats are invading South Park Colorado. It's up to Kenny, Stan, Kyle, Cartman and other South Park kids to keep the evil at bay with their snowballs, special abilities, and a variety of defensive towers. We gave this game a co-op whirl, curious to see if South Park: Let's Go Tower Defense Play! is worth an 800 purchase, or if it's best left in the snow.

Marvel Super Hero Squad Co-Op ReviewNovember 03rd, 2009 at 10:05 PM by Marc "DjinniMan" Allie

I want you to take a good look at the picture above.  Upon first glance, it looks kinda cute, right?  Shorty, super-deformed versions of classic Marvel heroes are absolutely adorable.  Who can help but smile at the sweet lil' Silver Surfer?  Cap is cute too, and even Wolverine looks positively huggable.  Now, count the number of fingers they have.  WHOA!  They have three fingers and a thumb!  That's a bit disturbing.  This swing of emotion, from the initial "awww how sweet!" to the eventual "Oh gross, that's abominable!" exactly describes the feelings I had while playing Marvel Super Hero Squad.

Lips #1 Hits Co-Op ReviewNovember 02nd, 2009 at 3:24 PM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

Last year we applauded Microsoft's entry into the music genre with Lips. Unique LED and motion sensitive microphones, plus a packed song list with plenty of co-op options made for a great party. Lips is back with the first sequel, called Lips #1 Hits. But is it worth your money?

Borderlands Co-Op ReviewOctober 26th, 2009 at 11:12 AM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

After what seemed like ages, Borderlands finally hit consoles last week. Promises of four player co-op with millions of weapons filled our heads. We spent the better part of last week in the world of Pandora, and now it's time to weigh in.

GTA: Chinatown Wars PSP Mini-ReviewOctober 24th, 2009 at 11:13 AM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

 

If you read our hands on impressions of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the PSP from PAX this year, you'd know we were surprised with not only how polished the game looked, but how Rockstar managed to adapt the Nintendo DS stylus controls to the PSP's analog stick.  After playing the final build of the game for a few hours I'm happy to report everything still holds true...mostly.

AI War: Fleet Command Co-Op ReviewOctober 23rd, 2009 at 2:47 PM by Jason "OrigamiPanther" Love

 

There is a phrase that is commonly linked with any discussion of the co-op in an RTS: "comp stomp."  The phrase refers to the typical situation that occurs when a group of players team up to take on one or more computer opponents and proceed to thrash them about the place.  This can be fun for a few matches, but the novelty quickly wears thin as the computer does nothing new or interesting each time you face it.  AI War, Arcen Games’ first outing into the gaming market, shatters this stale and repetitive formula to create something that’s not quite an RTS, not quite a 4X, but completely fun and, most importantly, completely co-op.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Co-Op ReviewOctober 21st, 2009 at 11:33 AM by Mike "pheriannath" Katsufrakis

The television ads for Uncharted 2 posit that it is indistinguishable from a movie to intellectually-deprived girlfriends, and to a certain extent, you can count me in with that statistic.  For the first half of the single-player campaign, the relentless pacing, huge set pieces, wisecracks and other moments of levity really make you feel like you're in control of a huge Summer blockbuster.  Seriously, even the tutorial segment is intense.

Dead Space Extraction Co-Op ReviewOctober 16th, 2009 at 11:44 AM by Nicholas "bapenguin" Puleo

Dead Space Extraction takes you on a wild and creepy ride in a co-op on rails shooter for the Wii, that's anything but the norm for the system. Deep with Dead Space lore, extraction is violent, bloody, creepy and intense. But is it fun?
