Co-Op gaming is all about communication, and in the age of high speed networks and premium online services it's all about voice communication.  The need for a good headphone and microphone combination for PC gamers is critical not only for cooperative gaming, but for team based gaming as well.  With so many headsets on the market it may be tough to decide where your money should go; thankfully Co-Optimus is here to help with our first hardware review.  Up first is the Gamecom 777 Headset from Plantronics.

Rock Band 2 has been out over a week now, and we've got your review.  Should you pick it up?  What has changed for the better?  How about the co-op?  Does the game come with groupies, at last?  Find out the answer to most of these questions in our review!

The "PixelJunk" series of titles that have come out on the PlayStation Network have all been truly unique titles.  From a slot car racer, to a different take on desktop tower defense, both Racers and Monsters were solid games; the latter even supporting co-op play.

The latest iteration in their series, named PixelJunk Eden, is a bit harder to describe.  It's sort of this life garden sim, meets Worms ninja rope game.  The best part of course is the ability to play with two of your buddies in 3 player co-op.  We give you the low down on the co-op mode, and whether or not it's a worthwhile addition to your collection.

The first Viva Pinata was easily the best sandbox games of all time.  But even the sweetest sandbox is no fun without a friend or two to share it with.  That's all been rectified in the games sequel, Viva Pinata: Trouble In Paradise.  Two players locally and up to four online can all share in one garden.  Should you check the game out?  Find out in our review!

Castle Crashers has finally arrived, and we couldn't be happier.  Is the game worthwhile?  Do the network issues break the deal?  Or does the appeal of hilarious hacking and slashing knights swinging swords and slinging spells overcome these obstacles?  Read our review to find out!

The folks at Pandemic Studios are back with their sequel to the hit PS2 and Xbox game Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction.  We take a look at the new title on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and give you the goods on the aftermath.  Are you ready to blow stuff up with your friends?  We think this game might be for you.

And so finally we come to this.  Our review of Too Human's co-op mode.  Can it live up to the hype?  Can it overcome the disappointment of losing 4-player co-op?  And the big question - is it fun?
