With the recent release of the Gears of War 2 All Fronts Collection, we saw a title update which added numerous cooperative achievements to the game. Not only were there three available for the story based content, but an additional dozen for Horde mode on the new maps. Me, being the gamerpoint loving son-of-a-bitch I am...well I just had to have these.
The best weapon against the onslaught of Ninja Henchmen is a pair of knee high boots and a nice set of cleavage, case in point pictured above. But when you add in a second set with a splash of purple, the ninjas don't stand a chance.
If the recent Left 4 Dead DLC announcement has renewed your interest in the co-op game on the PC, you might want to squeeze in as much playtime as you can tonight. Tomorrow night, Thursday August 6th, Steam will undergo maintenance at 6PM Pacific.

Indiana Jones is one of my all-time favorite action and adventure franchises, and I am not alone in that sentiment. Unfortunately, even the greatest sagas have some lame chapters.

We've got two co-op releases this week, both based on classic 1980's franchises.
We showed you how much we love splodin in our recent review of the crazy co-op platformer Splosion Man. We loved it so much we needed to chat with Twisted Pixels Owner and CCO, Josh Bear, about the game, the co-op, and more importantly - the beef.
Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be coming to the Nintendo DS this fall. The game is called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: Mobilised and the game is so big it has two colon's in the title.
Who hasn’t dreamed of commanding a horde of minions, blazing a path of destruction through their enemies while cosplaying as Sauron and brandishing an outlandishly oversized weapon? …What? Why am I the only one who has that dream? Well, I suppose if you’re a deviant like me, then Overlord 2 may just be your perfect game.
