It's only been a few months since Guitar Hero World Tour was released, which means one thing.  There's another Guitar Hero game right around the corner.  No, not that one...this one.

You ALMOST had us Criterion.  You added totally awesome cars are premium DLC to your 8 player co-op title Burnout Paradise.  And what did you go and do?  You priced the best car in the pack double that of the others.  That's right, you'll be dropping $4 on your mock-DeLorean car in Burnout.  I'd honestly be willing to pay it if these were actual license vehicles, instead of knock off cars.  

I'm going to try to make it through this news item without calling any Activision CEO's Satan.  This will be difficult for me, as it appears that the milking of the Guitar Hero franchise will be strong as ever in 2009.

Killzone 2 is the latest and greatest game coming for the PS3 later this month.  The hype for this game has been intense.  Some hail it as the greatest console FPS ever.  Others call it the best game of 2009.  Too bad the campaign is only single player, and the online multiplayer is only competitive, eh?  Co-Optimus finds this disappointing, and we're not alone.

Today is President's day in the United States, celebrating the birthday's of some of our country's greatest founding fathers and presidents.  And like any good birthday, when we were kids we always wished to have some sort of creature to ride.  Whether that was a pony or a dragon - kids like to ride animals. 

Despite a minor disappointment that can probably be attributed to the same guy that designed the Diablo III Care Bears t-shirt, Criterion Games continues to amaze us with their support of Burnout Paradise. The game is officially a year old, and they are still pounding out some great content for this 8-player co-op title.

SEGA announced last week that Mario and Sonic would again be competing in the Olypmic games...only this time, they're taking to the ski slopes and ice rinks, and they're doing it in co-op!

There's a live action G.I. Joe movie coming out this summer, one that's only about 20 years overdue.  With any summer blockbuster comes the inevitible video game tie-in, and the Joe movie is no exception.  As we previously reported, the game is being developed by EA, and will be available on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PS2, etc etc.  You know, the usual platform bombardment. 

The Watchmen movie is set to hit theaters on March 6th of this year.  Regarded as one of the greatest graphic novels of all time, it's something a lot of people are really looking forward to.  The Watchmen: The End is Nigh is a two player co-op beat em up from Warner Bros Interactive, which is set to be released right before the movie on March 4th.  You'll be able to obtain this two to three hour title from Xbox Live, PlayStation Network or on the PC via Direct2Drive or Steam.

With the recent success of the Halo Wars Demo even before the games release, many people wondered what would happen to Ensemble Studios, who officially announced their closure last month. Microsoft had taken steps to close down Ensemble after the release of Halo Wars, but the success of the developer means they weren't quite ready to go quietly.

Are you thousands of miles away from your loved one? Have a crush half-way around the world? Deported overseas with a lonely significant other waiting at home? Don't fret this Valentines day, because the Xbox community games has just the thing for you.

On February 5th, the world of Xbox Gold members was given the chance to test drive Halo Wars; and boy did we ever. Setting records in 24 hours for most downloads, in 5 days this demo hit over 2 million downloads world wide! We've talked about it, we're anticipating it, and now it'll be in Microsofts record books for some time.
