We're not sure if the 4 player co-op mode is what makes this game extreme, but we do know we are extremely excited about this classic remake.  If you played the game on the PSP or DS then you know this game is a great remix of Space Invaders with a splash of a game like Lumines.  Pulsating visuals with a thumping beat make blasting pixelated aliens an absolute joy.  Add in giant boss battles and that's Space Invaders Extreme.

I've always been a huge fan of Arkanoid.  I'm sure you know the game, it's the one with the paddle at the bottom and the ball that bounces taking out blocks above.  It's a classic game since the dawn of gaming and thanks to Taito it's getting an upgrade including 2 player co-op.

If you haven't heard, the Xbox 360 Dashboard is getting a complete overhaul this fall.  Just announced last night during the Tokyo Game Show Keynote the new dashboard will be released world wide on November 19th.

The fabled Halo 3 "expansion" has now been announced as Halo 3 Recon, a complete standalone prologue campaign featuring ODST Marines. So far, no details have been provided, other than that the game will be available for retail in Fall 2009.

Quick, everyone check your co-op partner.  I think we lost a man.  A CoG tag has mysteriously shown up at Co-Optimus Headquarters which can only mean one thing, there's a fallen soldier somewhere.

A very kind member of our community, Blakepro, is giving away a beta key for LittleBigPlanet.  If you haven't heard these things are currently more valuable than burlap to a Sackboy factory.  Their dispersion has brought many a websites to their knees, but not this one, no not this one.  Of course this may be because we only have one key to give away, and it's for the beta that ends this weekend...and it wasn't given to us by Sony.  But it's cool, Blakepro is cooler than Sony anyway.

I'll admit it: I've owned a PSP - a launch model. For the most part, it was fun and had a decent library of games; and this was well before the Playstation Store was live. I sold it before Christmas last year as half of a deal that ultimately landed me an Xbox 360 Pro.

You've probably seen the Sackboy of Kratos, of God of War fame, announced as a downloadable character for Little Big Planet.  Ripten reports that the GameStop preorder bonus will include quite a bit more.  Those who preorder will get Kratos, Minotaur, and Medusa Sackboys (Sackpeople?), plus a God of War-themed level.  Quite a nice bonus, I must say.

Good news folks.  The 8 player co-op title Resistance 2 will support the PlayStation 3's Trophy feature.   Trophies are like Achievements on the Xbox 360, but they are shinier.  They may be more bling, but they aren't available in every game, so it's nice to see one of the biggest PS3 titles to come out this fall will support them.

There's an inherent problem with getting a game review out day 1, you miss a lot of the experience.  Whether it's fully packed online servers or simply rushing through the game to get the review out on time, trust me, you tend to miss something.

Japanese gaming mag Dengeki Playstation recently revealed that Level-5's upcoming PS3 RPG will be featuring a four-player online co-op mode! Players can connect to a central lobby and form groups of four adventurers to take on quests.

I think that most everyone would agree that sinning can be fun. Or, if you want to take it a step less severe, sinning in gaming is fun. I've blown up innocent bystanders in GTA and "accidentally" done a team kill in...well basically every game that has team kills. However, sometimes, sinning in video games can make the game darn near unplayable. Thus is the case with Gears of War 2's announced Horde Mode.
