The Harry Potter series - It's over.  Stick a fork in it.  That is one cash cow that has been fully milked. Or has it?  The books may have been read and the films watched, but there is one format of Harry Potter that has yet to be concluded; LEGO Harry Potter.  The first game in the series covered Years 1-4 and was a solid installment in the co-op tastic LEGO franchise.  The sequel is due out in mid November and, suggested by its title, will cover years 5-7 (it is called LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7).  10 minutes of gameplay footage has surfaced so check out Read More to see if the LEGO games have changed since you last played them. 

Here at Co-Optimus we like to shout about co-op from the rooftops, but some developers like to hide their good news under a bushel.  Battlefield 3 has only just come out with details about their co-op mode, but this is a lot more than Driver: San Francisco.  The game is due out on 6th September on Playstation 3, 360, PC and Wii and Ubisoft are keeping their co-op news close to their chest.

For some reason a lot of developers don't realize how many people actually want to play split screen on a PC. Perhaps its the growth of home theater PCs, the availability of bigger monitors, or people just plain wanting to play with a some buddies from around the town - every time we see a big PC release we have dozens of users clamoring for split-screen play.  Serious Sam 3: BFE will be bucking the trend and including split-screen play on a PC game.

The F.E.A.R series returns with its third installment, complete a full co-op campaign as well as two co-op survival modes. Does this game live up to our expectations? Find out in our co-op review.

At Sony's booth during E3 2011 I sat down with the Resistance 3 Lead Designer, Drew Murray, for a hands on tour of one of the early levels in the game.  We discussed Insomniac's shift back to more of the look and feel of Resistance 1 for the latest game as well as the more personal story it has taken on.  

Here's a bit of awesome information that Microsoft just confirmed to us - Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary will include the popular four player co-op Firefight mode found in Halo 3: ODST and Halo Reach.  As the anniversary edition is rumored to be built on the Reach engine, we imagine that Firefight will be fairly similar to it with all of the customization options.

We have great expectations for Hunted: The Demon's Forge. The title has been built specifically for co-op play. Featuring two distinct characters, online and split screen co-op, plus an epic quest, does this action RPG live up to the hype? Find out in our Co-Op Review.

A what? A graaaaaaaail? Yes it is a quest for the Holy Grail in The First Templar, a hack and slash co-op adventure for the PC and 360. We take this title for a spin in our latest review and see if this is a quest for glory...or doom.

Atlus has just sent over a brand new trailer for their upcoming action game, The Cursed Crusade.  The two player co-op title supports both online and local co-op play through the campaign as players take up the roles of Esteban the Thief or Denz the Templar.
