Left 4 Dead 2 Preview - If It Ain't Broke...Don't Fix It

We've read and heard a lot of dissent about the upcoming sequel Left 4 Dead 2, due to stores and Steam in November. Valve's notoriety for expanding the life of their games with free updates and mod support was put in question when the official sequel was announced, and many fans felt that Left 4 Dead 2 would not provide enough new content -- with such a short development turnaround -- to warrant a whole new disc, box, and price point.

Punisher: No Mercy Co-Op Review

Not every Marvel property is a "super hero." In fact, certain characters in the Marvel Universe stand out amongst the usual colorful and powerful cast of characters like Spider-Man and Iron Man. The Punisher has always been about a dark and tragic tale, about a man who's life was ripped from him, therefore giving him nothing to lose. It's surprising that such a violent and dark setting hasn't yielded more video games. Alas, we've been left mostly barren of game's starring Frank Castle. Punisher: No Mercy is a downloadable game for the PlayStation Network built by Zen Studios - but is it better than nothing?

Battlefield 1943 Co-Op Challenge Complete: 43 Million Kills - Our Impressions

Last month we told you about a different kind of cooperative effort with EA's Battlefield: 1943.  It was called the "Coral Challenge" and the goal of it was to collectively earn 43 million kills in the game between the two platforms to unlock a new map and game mode.  I'm happy to report that it's mission accomplished, as of this morning the game eclipsed the 43 million kill mark in just under 5 days.

Co-op In Metroidvania Style Games? Not Yet...

How many times have you sat down with a Metroid style puzzle and thought "I could really use a hand with this." Or, "wouldn't it be cool if there were co-op exploration here?" What about tackling a Castlevania monster, wondering "What if I attacked its legs, and my buddy climbed the beast to puncture its brain?" Shadow Complex, a "Metroidvania" style game, gave us hope that we'd see some co-op like this.
