Microsoft and the creators of South Park have had a pretty solid relationship.  We've seen a ton of content on the Xbox Live Video Marketplace, some for free, for quite some time.  Now a new game published by Microsoft and developed by Doublesix has hit Xbox Live Arcade.

So it all started when Nick and I decided to play some Halo 3: ODST (Yes, ANOTHER ODST story) and co-op through Legendary.  Jason, having recently picked the game up, wanted to join our session, so we agreed upon a time to meet.  Our time arrived, and I partied up with Nick, set up the lobby, and threw an invite to Jason, which is where our story truly begins...

While waiting for Diablo 3 to be released next year...or the year after...you might want to crack out your old Diablo or Diablo 2 discs for some good ol' fashioned co-op gaming.  Perhaps a friend never returned them, or you are in need of another copy for some late night co-op sessions with the family.

  Sony announced today that the Playstation Network store will be getting an additional venue outside of your Playstation: Amazon.  Eric Lempel, the director of PSN Operations, posted on the Playstation Blog that codes to download games and add-on game content can be purchased for both the Playstation and the PSP via the new ...

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves hasn't even hit the store shelves yet, but eager journalists already want to know -  "Will there be downloadable content?"

We've just recieved word of the latest songs revealed for tween friendly music game Band Hero.  The big focus of Band Hero seems to be young Taylor Swift, featuring her in three different songs as well as an in-game avatar.  If you were looking to "rock out" to You Belong With Me, Picture to Burn, and Love Story, you'll get the chance on November 3.

Another trailer for LEGO Indiana Jones 2 The Adventure Continues has been released.  If you were like me, and guessing that the sequel would be based solely on the most recent Indy film, well, you'd be wrong.  All new levels based on unused scenes from the original Indy trilogy will be included.  Of course, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull levels are appearing in LEGO form for the first time.  The trailer gives us good looks at new heroes and vehicles, plus the level editor.  Gotta love the tagline: "Where there's a whip, there's a way."  (Insert wildly inappropriate joke here.)

Sure Serious Sam is all about kicking ass and taking names in the name of ass kickery.  Normally Sam likes to blow his enemies into tiny bloody bits, generally making a red mess wherever he goes, and a wake of destruction behind him.  

The above screen is the first shot from EA's Battleforge that shows off the game's DirectX 11 support.  The game's developer and EA have announced that Battleforge is the first game to feature DX11 support, though you'll still need a DX11 card to take advantage of that.  Currently only Radeon 5870 and 5850 cards support it.

Anyone who pays any attention to video game releases knows about exclusive pre-order deals for in-game content. Until a year ago, that content was a statue, a figure, a hat, or something we'd consider "swag" in the gaming world. That all changed when retailers and publishers started releasing codes for in-game content. It started off as a gold-colored Lancer for Gears of War 2, or a Warthog with flames on the sides for Halo Wars. While these were merely collectibles that changed in-game aesthetics, it has recently evolved to game-altering exclusives. I'm talking about exclusive characters or gameplay modes that could potentially change the experience of the game itself.

Somewhere in the middle of mythical Sweden, Arrowhead Game Studios is working on something so profound, so cooperative, so...Action/RPG you'll wet your pants. That something, is Magicka - an online/offline 4 player co-op Action/RPG set for a 2010 release on Xbox LIVE Arcade and other digital distribution. Co-optimus.com has the not-so-exclusive run-down of what to expect with Magicka, as well as a trailer featuring self-aware humor, and screen shots to make your mouth water.

Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising should be on retailer shelves today or tomorrow, so to get you even more excited for the four player co-op tactical shooter, we've got a fresh batch of screenshots and a launch trailer that'll make your shorts pop right off!
