We've got one co-op release this week and it's a "classic" 360 and PS3 game. Burnout Paradise hits the PC on February 6th, over a year after its console counterpart. The good news is - it's cheap and it includes a ton of the downloadable content previously available to console owners.

Welcome to Beyond Co-Op, a weekly piece that talks about industry stories that may or may not be related to co-op gaming.
We've heard from the staff, and we've heard from the developers, but now it's time to turn to our wonderful community of co-op enthusiasts as we continue to celebrate Co-Optimus' one-year anniversary.
If you still haven't picked up the GTA IV for the PC, now might be a good time to do so. Especially since the latest patch was just released making the game slightly more playable. As you can see above Steam sale puts it at a wallet friendly $34.99. A great deal for a game with some fun, albeit short, four player co-op missions.
I'm going to change the formula a bit for Co-Op Classics today. Typically, the focus is on the game itself. But as with all things classic, nostalgia and memory play an important part. Legendary Wings for the NES is a bizarre game, and would have been notable for it's sheer weirdness, but when I consider the circumstances of my first experience with it, the game transcends the merely weird and becomes truly legendary.

My parents had disappointed me with a replacement Atari 2600 (though admittedly the cooler version ) for Christmas the previous year, though I'd been wanting an NES. Luckily for me, I was going to spend the day with my older cousin, who was 17, could drive and had a Nintendo. As soon as I arrived at his house, he decided we'd go rent a game.

Bruce Shelley of Ensemble studios has a goodbye post on the company's official blogs. In it he talks about his early days at the studio back in 1995. Now some dozen games later, the studio is shutting down.
A bit of Co-Optimus trivia for you fine folks: this post is officially post number 1,171 for Co-Optimus (excluding two beta posts by Nick Puleo). It's post number 99 for little ol' me. And the game that we're covering here was first covered on Co-Optimus exactly one year ago today (January 30, 2008).
