We broke the news last month that Relic would be unveiling their new co-op mode called The Last Stand at PAX 2009 this year. Co-Optimus was there as Relic opened the curtains to the three player add-on for their game. The mode can best be described as a survival mode with persistent progression and a focus on scoring for three players in co-op.

Game Name: League of Legends: Clash of Fates Co-Op: Yes Co-Op Type/Multiplayer Type: Competitive co-op in the vein of DotA Publisher/Developer: Riot Games Release Date: Oct. 6, 2009 We sat down yesterday with Steven Snow, Vice President of Productions for Riot Games, to talk about their free upcoming release, League of Legends: Clash of Fates. Gamers who are familiar with the Warcraft 3 mod Defense of the Ancients: Allstars (or DotA: Allstars as it’s also known) are likely to feel right at home with Legends as it uses the same style of play. What’s more, the designer for DotA: Allstars, Steve “Guinsoo” Feak, and the creator of the fansite that was the official support base for it, Steve “Pendragon” Mescon, are both involved with the making of this game and it definitely shows.

Bored, with nothing to do this extended Labor Day weekend? Looking for a few new co-op games to keep yourself and a friend or two busy? Capcom is coming to the rescue! Two different bundles are available on the Playstation Network, mixing and matching some good co-op titles for a discounted price. Definitely worth a look if you don't have these titles already!
We just got word of a very nice sweepstakes that Namco Bandai is running to promote Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao. The co-op friendly game supports 3D technology, and the prizes form the drawing are pretty sweet: a high end, 3D ready 60" HDTV and two pairs of "shutter" 3D glasses. (Not the cheap blue and red plastic ones!) Interested in checking out Invincible Tiger in 3D? Head over to the site to enter!
