Received well by the general gaming population (and earning a Silver Billy in our Beyond Co-Op Review), Dead Space was no slouch of a game. To be brutally honest, another single-player-only affair would afford the series well.
Not since the age of Arcades, standing shoulder to shoulder in a local mall or shop, has co-op been so popular.

Now new innovations in co-op technology are bringing these gamers back together, and bringing co-op back into the spotlight. In this article we will take a look at ten things we think that have helped propel co-op gaming back to the forefront. Above and beyond that, these are things every co-op gamer needs or wants in their experience.

So, in order to balance that stereotype, I'll be encouraging the general abuse of Fairytale characters and woodland creatures in Fairytale Fights with enthusiasm. Playlogic Entertainment, Inc announced the Hack and Slash style Fairtytale Fights, where players don the role of their favorite Fairytale character to bloody up some bad guys.
Details are beginning to trickle out today about Lost Planet 2 from Capcom. The current Xbox 360 exclusive features a four player co-op mode that numerous members of the media got to check out last week at Capcom's Captivate event.
The first Marvel Ultimate Alliance game had comic book fans absolutely giddy. So many classic characters, a huge variety of settings, and stellar co-op gameplay made for a great experience.
