The folks from CDV have teamed up with GameRigs to give away a brand spankin new PC loaded to the brim with magic pixie dust capable of playing the latest PC games at resolutions your HDTV dreams about. Yes...it's that awesome.
While Undertow may not be the latest Xbox Live Arcade game, I'm sure it's one most people have in their collection. A lot of people have forgotten the game supports 3 player drop-in and drop out co-op. Luckily we're here to remind you, and we're here to tell you how it is.
In addition to re-affirming a full two-player co-op campaign on the Wii version of Ghostbusters: The Video Game, MTV's Tracey John gives a lengthy preview of the game's art and control styles sure to please Nintendo Wii owners this summer.
This just in, from the "Why Didn't We Think of This First?" department. Following up on a few previous news stories here, we bring you GamesRadar's list of the Top 7 Games that Should've Had Co-Op. I must say, the list is a good one, though there are a few that should be there that aren't.

Some rather awesome co-op news comes our way this morning, from our COG Network buddies over at Colony of Gamers. Dead Space, an outer space horror/action title was recently released for PC, 360, and PS3.

It was no real shock to us when every line had a swear word or some other form of vulgarity. Now we can spend hours hitting the taunt button to hear “Try to climb me b****, now climb this!”
More and more game developers, press, and community members are using Twitter to connect with other people. It's simple, free, easy, and extremely adaptable to other social networking tools. Much of our own staff "Tweets" daily, and Co-Optimus has its own link feed as well (www.twitter.com/cooptimus), complete with Billy avatar.
