It’s not that we are surprised by this, but it does make our cravings for a decent, dance game to make a dent in our wallets. As projected by Ubisoft’s 2012 Earnings Presentation, a Just Dance will be making a Wii U appearance to the co-op scene.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is only a few weeks away, so it might be time to clear out your backlog of Ghost Recon and other Tom Clancy games. At least, that's what Microsoft thinks, hence the Tom Clancy DLC sale on Xbox Live. Downloadable content for both GRAWs, Splinter Cell Conviction (my favorite Clancy game), and even the high-flying HAWX games are all on sale for half off for Xbox Live Gold members until Tuesday.

The new Xbox Live Deal of the Week should bring tears to many an SNK fan's eyes. Most of the Japanese publisher's Xbox Live Arcade games are on sale, which means there's co-op deals to be had! Metal Slug 3, Metal Slug XX, Trouble Witches Neo, and KOF Sky Stage all support 2 player co-op, and they're all half off for Xbox Live Gold members.

Were you like me and highly intrigued with Relic and THQ's Warhammer 40K: Space Marine until you found out the co-op mode was more of a Horde mode instead of campaign co-op? But a nice low price can make a difference, and that's where GameFly comes in. The rental service/used game seller has both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of Space Marine on sale for $9.99 with free shipping until 5 PM Pacific Time today. GameFly includes original materials like online passes in the games they sell, so don't worry about being locked out of multiplayer. What better chance to step into a space marine's bulky armor?

While several notable Xbox Live Arcade games launched during February's Must Have Games 2012 promotion, actual XBLA deals were less than exciting. Now that March has come along, Microsoft is really kicking things into gear with not one, but two big sales this week (and that's on top of the month-long ilomilo sale). All told, 10 downloadable games featuring co-op are on sale for half-off this week, including Konami hits X-Men Arcade, Hard Corps: Uprising, and Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. We've compiled a list complete with co-op details to make your purchasing decisions easier.

Nothing says loving like a fresh and creative co-op game. Even sweeter is getting said game for half off the regular price. Now that Xbox Live Arcade exclusive ilomilo is the Xbox Live Family Gold Pack Deal of the Month for March, anybody with a Gold subscription can put this bun in their oven. For only five dollars, you'll be hard pressed to find a better co-op deal this month - unless something better pops up, of course.

The Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of id's post-apocalyptic shooter RAGE and Epic's @#$% third-person shooter Bulletstorm are on sale at Best Buy for $19.99 this week - a fair deal, to be sure. But the March issue of Best Buy's @Gamer Magazine (pictured) also happens to have $15 off coupon for both games inside. That means you can grab each shooter for just five bucks a piece - if they're still in-stock!

We love when the Xbox Live Marketplace has weekly deals on co-op games because hey - who doesn't love saving a buck or four on additional content for your favorite co-op games? This week (from now until Feb. 27th), Xbox 360 owners can snag some Fable 3 DLC from 33%-45% off. This includes quest packs like Traitor's Keep (which we did an impressions piece on) and Understone. And if you've been on the fence about that dog breed DLC.... well, that's on sale, too.

The Xbox Live Deal of the Week that kicks off today features tons of Dance Central 2 downloadable content. Sure, it's an identical repeat of last October's sale, but Microsoft and Harmonix are surely banking on many new players thanks to Black Friday sales and Christmas gifts. Do you need this DLC? DC2 has plenty of songs on-disc to keep Kinect gamers busy - 45, to be precise. Still, part of the fun of music games in general is being able to play to your favorite songs (or at least more of them), so it wouldn't hurt to pick up a song pack or two.

The Steam Winter Sale is still in full swing and today's items have just been revealed with the tick of 1PM Eastern.  It's a quick and easy way to bolster your PC gaming collection without having to drop a lot of coin.  Available today are plenty of good co-op games for some ridiculously low prices.

Shoot-em-up fans know that XBLA shmups seldom go on sale, if ever. That’s why we’re both surprised and delighted to see not one but four Xbox Live Arcade shmups on sale this week, all of them with 2-player co-op. The highlight of the sale has to be Radiant Silvergun, a port of the extremely rare Sega Saturn classic from Treasure. But heck, if you’re a fan of the genre you’re probably going to want them all.

This week, several Capcom and Ubisoft Xbox Live Arcade games are on sale for 33-50 percent off. Naturally there are co-op deals to be had, including Final Fight: Double Impact, Interpol, and Outland – all on sale for 400 Microsoft Points each.

As mentioned in our List of Black Friday Co-op Deals, Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure will be on sale at Kmart and Hastings for $49.99 this Friday. But the crowds will be thick on that Blackest of Fridays, and maybe you don’t have one of these stores nearby anyway. Thankfully Amazon has come to the rescue, offering Skylanders at the same price all week long. But that's not all...

Black Friday is a sales holiday that occurs the day after Thanksgiving each year in the US. This year’s takes place on Friday, November 25. It’s a fantastic time to pick up additional consoles on the cheap so that you and a friend or significant other can play online and system link games in the same room. Seriously, you can get a new 4 GB Xbox 360 for as low as $140 this year! But for most people, Black Friday’s just a great time to pick up relatively new games on the cheap.

Regular Amazon shoppers know that the world’s largest online retailer offers tons of great gaming deals during the holiday season. Case in point: from now until Saturday, November 5, Amazon is running a Buy Two, Get One Free sale on console games. The selection of eligible titles includes Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii, and both 3DS and DS consoles - sorry, PSP!
