Peter Molyneux has asked us an important question today, one that I hope fans of cooperative games will stand up and answer. Via his Twitter, Molyneux asks:
There are many different types of games on the market for many different types of people. So, what designates which games can be played together, and which can not? We at Co-optimus.com tend to preach friendly co-op gaming, and notice many of the single player games out there feel somewhat cheated out of a quality co-op experience.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars is becoming one of the most recognized Star Wars brands, with it's beautiful stylization that allows us to look past the poor CGI of the prequel films. Knowing this, we at Co-optimus are happy to see a Clone Wars style video game, featuring 8 playable Jedi, and 10 playable Clones with 2 player drop-in, drop-out co-op! Star Wars Clone Wars: Republic Heroes will have an original storyline, as well as some slick looking gameplay. To match the stylization of the visuals, the game will feature some new playing "styles" of it's own, making it one of the more unique Star Wars action games around.

With a name like Eduardo the Samurai Toaster, there's not much Semnat Studios needs to do to sell me on the game. But then they just go off and release a kick ass trailer showing off the game's four player drop-in and drop-out local co-op mode with plenty of toast tossing action.
A wise man once said that it's easier to destroy rather than to create. What the wise man neglected to tell you was that it's also a lot more fun. That's the premise of Konami's upcoming title for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii.
