A friendly reminder that the four player co-op demo for Lost Planet 2 is now available to download to your Xbox 360 console. The demo is playable over Xbox Live and features a mission from the campaign and a gigantic boss battle.
The Co-Op Gods must be smiling today! For last week's Co-Op Classics, we covered the twentieth birthday of Sega's Genesis console. You'll recall that Sega is running a poll to see which classic Genesis game will be released next on XBox Live Arcade. Earthworm Jim had a commanding lead, with ToeJam and Earl, a great co-op title, in a respectable second.
Infinity Ward sure is being stingy with the screenshots for their upcoming game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. So far we've only seen a dozen or so shots of the game, and even less in terms of actual gameplay footage.
When I noticed the latest Company of Heroes expansion pack had a little tick next to the co-op check box, my heart skipped a beat. Being a huge fan of the original title, I immediately dug for information on the co-op. While I had high hopes we'd have a full fledged co-op campaign, especially considering Relic's other co-op RTS outing. Alas that was not the case. Instead what we have is a single mission that can be played by up to four people called Operation Stonewall.
Like Guitar Hero 5, the more pop-ish Band Hero will offer drop-in and drop-out cooperative play for any instrument while in the middle of a song. Hopefully this becomes a staple feature in all music and rhythm games moving forward, I'm looking at you Rock Band franchise!
Tripwire Interactive has announced it will self publish its six player co-op shooter, Killing Floor, in North America. The game is set for a retail release "shortly" for the wallet friendly price of $19.99. This is good news for folks afraid of Valve's Steam service or other digital distribution methods. But really, there's no reason to be afraid, the scary digital monsters won't get you.
Lionhead has officially announced Fable III today at Gamescom in Germany. The game takes place 50 years after the events of Fable 2 where you'll play your Fable II character's child on a quest to become the ruler of Albion. We've been teased all week on the official Lionhead site for the announcement, being shown pictures of great rulers and quotes.
Our next Games for Windows Co-Op Night is here, and we'll be playing a Relic RTS. No, not Dawn of War 2 - Company of Heroes Tales of Valor! Read on to find out how to join up for Operation Stonewall against waves of the Nazi army!
I'm not quite sure how this one got past my radar. Halo Wars is the latest franchise getting its own construction toy treatment. Mega Bloks brings us the Halo Wars Authentic Collector's series. Right now, just a few sets are available, ranging from the Warthog, pictured above, to a sweet box including Hawk vs. Banshee, Aerial Assault.
Earlier this week we posted our review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Reshelled for the Xbox Live Arcade. Yes the game name is extremely long, but that doesn't make four player co-op turtle action any less fun!
Bionic Commando and Terminator Salvation developer, GRIN has joined the boat of unfortunate devs that have had to close their doors. It's not all bad news though. With the closing of this door, several of the former GRIN employees have started off on their own, opening up many new possibilities!
