If there's one game that ever needed co-op, it was a game based on the Aliens franchise.  After previous games based on the series failed to deliver, it looks like Gearbox Software (Brothers in Arms, Half-Life Blue Shift) is ready to step up to the plate.    The game is called Aliens: Colonial Marines and will be available for ...

But on Wednesday I found out that the actual design plans for the game do not call for four-player co-op. That feature is not planned for the game.

Co-op play in Fable 2 appears to broaden the game's combat tactics. Molyneux's character focused on shooting enemies with a powerful pistol, while his partner slashed away with a sword. Molyneux explained the simplicity of Fable 2's combat: magic, melee, and guns each have a dedicated button, so it's apparently quite easy to swap between them in the heat of battle.

WP : Rogue Warrior features co-op play for up to four players. Will co-op play be available online, or just on a single console? Will this be available on all platforms?

Caspian will also have local-only co-op play, a choice Barder said Traveller's Tales made to keep the game accessible to players who may be too young for Xbox Live. We saw Caspian running on an Xbox 360, and Barder showed us several chaotic battle sequences in which dozens of Telmarine swarmed on screen as the Pevensies and Narnians jumped into the fray. There are between 15 and 20 playable characters in Caspian, and the first chapter contains content new to the Narnia universe that's not seen in the books or films.

This week we've got a new co-op game that should be quite familiar to all.  It's the 6th game in the Dynasty Warrior's franchise.  Dynasty Warriors 6 will be available for both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 on February 19th.  The game features split screen co-op play through in traditional Dynasty Warriors style.  Co-Op rele...

Red Alert 3 will mostly be a "What If?" kind of game which looks into the possibilities the first two games didn't cover. Classic technologies like Tesla coils, teleportation, and time traveling will be supplemented by new innovations like armored bears, floating island fortresses and... get this, intelligent dolphins! Some of the interesting features that will be making its way into the game include a first ever heard of co-op campaign mode, a focus on the naval combat aspects, and all the Kalashnikov designer rifles a Command & Conquer game can hold.
