Everybody loves a good zombie game.  Dead Rising was an amazing title.  The Resident Evil series is legendary.  But there's a new kid on the block, and the game has you fighting for surivival.  But it's not one man versus the world in Valve's upcoming game Left for Dead.  The game is tightly focused on team-play, specifical...

Sometimes you hear complaints that the Wii is a kiddy system that caters only to casual gamers.  That may or may not be true, but who says catering to kids is a bad thing?  An upcoming Wii title, Emergency Heroes, is aimed at boys ages 6 to 10, according to CVG.  However, who wouldn't want to play a game where you can be a cop or a f...

With all the crazy hoopla of April Fools Day going around, it can be hard to know what's true and what's not. One thing that is true: Microsoft has released a demo of Army of Two onto Xbox Live Marketplace (in all regions except Germany). The demo is multiplayer/online only, so your options are splitscreen with your buddy next door (or whereve...

Update: It seems that Mr. Driller might be a fool after all. It seems as if many users are having problems with the online functionality (which is the only one to have the tag-team feature we mentioned). Hope this gets resolved soon. Thanks to JasonSuave for the heads-up.

New details about the upcoming portable rocker Guitar Hero: On Tour have been revealed at the game's official website.  The good news?  The Guitar Grip peripheral will work with the new hotness DS Lite as well as the old and busted DS Phat.  So, gamers with bigger fingers who might prefer the original DS to its slimmer successor can ...

After a week off we are back with another co-op review. The game? Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. We run it through our cooperative obstacle course and give YOU the verdict.  And don't forget to stick around for our world famous 60 second video review!   Read our Full Review Here. ...

Details about this are foggy, but the mere concept of you and a buddy taking on the WWE is a bit exciting. Also interesting is the new "Hot Tag" system, which IGN has discussed. To be brief, the Hot Tag system is a video game counterpart to the intense sequence when a guy is beat to heck and barely gets the tag to his partner, who proceeds to level his opponents. From what IGN has said, this is a handy feature that, just like in real (fake, WWE) wrestling, is not guaranteed. Looks like wrestling fans, myself included, have a reason to be happy.

It's that time again - time for another Co-Optimus giveaway!  Up for grabs today is one copy of TiQal for the Xbox Live Arcade.  The game is a puzzle game with a cooperative mode.  Think Zuma meets Columns.  So leave a comment and we'll pick a winner in a few days.     ...

Shacknews reports that a demo for the recently released (and reviewed) Army of Two will be available next week.  The demo will be exclusive to XBox Live Marketplace.  If you were waiting for a price drop, or on the fence about the game, well, now you can try before you buy.  You can grab the demo beginning on April 1.

Why was multiplayer cut from PROTOTYPE? Tim Bennison: From its inception PROTOTYPE was planned first and foremost as a single player open-world/action game. Naturally, with Alex’s genetically mutated shape-shifting abilities, we started to explore what would happen if he were to sub-divide into two PROTOTYPEs and what kind of multiplayer gameplay we could create around that concept. We’ve been looking at this potential multiplayer idea much more closely as PROTOTYPE’s development has been progressing, and while it’s a great concept and gameplay bonus, our conclusion is that we won’t be able to pull it off with the same level of quality and polish that we’re aiming for with the original single player story.

- Co-op campaign for both the Orkz and Space Marines, apparently not for the other to-be-revealed races.

XBLAH reports that the Japanese Xbox.com page for Ikaruga was unveiled early, and the date for the game's release is April 9.  The US release date is unknown yet, but hopefully will be the same, so we don't have to wait any longer.  Grab a friend, clear your calendar, and get ready for some good ol' shoot-em-up action....
