We've been big fans of Call of Duty: World at War's Zombie mode since it was released.  We've always said, time and time again, that the four player co-op game should have had a stand alone release on the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.  While we're still waiting for that day, we do have the next best thing - a portable iPhone/iPod Touch version with included ONLINE and local cooperative play.

Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies includes three control options including dual stick, tilt and swipe look.  It's not the most ideal method of playing, but it appears to work.  As we've said there's built in online matchmaking included for four player, though there's no way to communicate with your teammates.  

Only one map is included, which looks to be based off the original Nacht der Untoten map in the full game.  Call of Duty: World at War: Zombies it out now for the iPhone/iPod touch and will set you back $9.99.

Get it on:

It may look beautiful, but this floating rock is a battleground in Chaos Rising

The first developer diary has been released for Dawn of War 2's expansion pack called Chaos Rising.  The five minute video covers quite a bit about the game, giving us a good overview of what to expect when it hits the PC next March.

The corruption system, the in game mechanic to choose between good and evil, is explained in greater detail - showing you the benefits or negatives of choosing between one or the other.  Also detailed is a new hero unit named Jonah the Librarian, who not only has new weapons and armor, but offers the unique ability to morph spells into different types.

We get a glimpse at the new environments and a bit of the backstory as well.  Overall the expansion pack looks to be shaping up nicely, the only problem I see now is - it's not March yet.

Despite being on everyone's radar as the most popular enemy in a video game the past year, the zombies are shuddering on their limp legs as Left 4 Dead 2, the sequel to the game that seemed to start the trend, is out on Tuesday, November 17th.

In case you didn't know, Left 4 Dead 2 has four player cooperative play through five campaigns, placing gamers in the role of one of four survivors.  You'll go through an evil carnival, a swamp, New Orleans and other zombie infested locales all the while using new weapons and items to survive the best you can.  Can you say frying pan?  The game is available on the Xbox 360 and PC.

Electronic Arts has announced an official release date for the upcoming RTS game on the PC, Command and Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight.  The two player co-op title will hit on March 16th bringing to conclusion the epic Tiberium saga.

You can pre-order the game now to get exclusive access into the beta, the soundtrack and a prequel bonus mission.  C&C 4 adds a brand new RPG-like system where players earn experience for all campaign and multiplayer actions creating a persistent commander character.  The entire campaign is playable in 2 player co-op as well.

Gametrailers unveiled the first look at the game in action.  It's explosive to say the least.

Kane and Lynch: Dead Men was a game that may or may not have gotten its fair shake due to a review scandal surrounding it.  Despite that, it featured a gritty story with dark characters that were forced to make some difficult decisions.  We already knew a sequel was in the works, and it looks like the information is finally starting to come to the surface.

A surveillance like video has hit YouTube that shows what appears to be a naked Lynch running through a window and getting attacked by a dog, only to be saved by another naked man who presumably is Kane.  Why naked?

This one time, at band camp, I shoved a flute...in front of my Rock Band mic and beat "Avenged" by Sevenfold on Expert.  And so this spunky young lady has done just that, by playing her flute into the standard Rock Band microphone with the correct pitch and notes she was able to score a 98% on expert.

It's quite impressive...and quite lovely.  I wonder if this works for Guitar Hero 5?  You could get a group of four completely unique instruments together to play four vocal tracks at the same time in the game's co-op mode.  My vote?  Xylophone, Ukulele, Jew's Harp, and Bongos.

It appears the boycott isn't really working at all!  Preorder sales for Left 4 Dead 2 are doing quite well, according to CVG's interview with Valve's Chet Faliszek.  How well?  Try four times the level of the original Left 4 Dead.  After playing through the demo, I can easily see why; the game looks to be one of the year's best.

Maybe you are on the fence about the game, and can't decide whether to preorder?  You might want to check out this video at G4TV.  It's a twelve minute walkthrough of the new "realism" difficulty level.  There's quite a lot of interesting information, including a few tidbits about the AI Director, which controls in-game events.  The new and improved Director will monitor how well players are progressing, and alter the environment to compensate.  For example, if a group of players is working well together, the amount of rainfall might increase to make shooting more difficult.  A nice touch, for sure, and we can't wait to get our hands on Left 4 Dead 2 later this month.

How did they get the camera in there?

Capcom has released a brand new trailer for Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, the on rails shooter for the Wii which wraps up the missing pieces from Umbrella Chronicles.  The trailer showcases new environments, new characters, and some sticky situations for our cast of characters.  

The game looks like a solid co-op experience on the Wii, we just hope it doesn't fall into the trap that appears to have happened for Dead Space Extraction, which is a similar style mature title on the platform.  Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles hits the Wii on November 17th with two player local 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.
