If our calculations are correct, there's just one new co-op game this week. And it's one that really is more co-op lite. 

Stronghold Crusader 2, we hardly knew ye.  When we first met, you were a timid lad.  Your walls were weak, your multiplayer options were scant, and your maps were trendy and foreign.  Nevertheless, we found you likable and good for a round of 2 player co-op trebuchet simulation.  Something was lacking, though, perhaps the lack of map variety.  No more can we bellow our cries of change, for come December 9th our wishes shall be fulfilled!  This must truly be the winter of our contentment, the season our wall-based dreams come true.  Oh happy, happy day.

Far Cry 4 is a world that is alive. Take a stroll through the mountains of Kyrat and in a short period of time you’ll likely run into some native Kyratis that need rescued, or Golden Path members that need help fixing a vehicle. Maybe you’ll be attacked by an eagle or a honey badger. No matter where you go, something is always happening...

During the cold wintry months of the year, one of my favorite activities is to stay inside, put on a warm sweater and...pretend that I'm really, really cold.  The latest update to Warface, Crytek's free-to-play multiplayer shooter, takes players to the oft-contended land of Siberia, meaning my dream survives yet another year!  This time, I might even occasionally dunk myself in ice water.  You know, really submerse myself in the world.

When counting the grisly ways to kill zombies I start running out of ideas around twenty or so.  Thankfully, the folks over at Techland have far more imagination and managed to come up with 60 kills within 60 seconds in the brand new trailer for Dying Light.

Alright, folks.  It's time to pack your space-bags and hop back into Interstellar Marines, The tactical co-op FPS just dropped it's newest patch, and it's added a whole slew of ways for you and three buddies to bring the pain to your galactic foes.  Of course, the game is inspired by Rainbow Six, so I'm assuming the pain in question can only be brought after hours of planning, meticulous loadout management, and staring at your computer screen as you try to figure out who exactly shot you.

It's Cyber Monday. But the reality is, there have been deals online for the past few weeks on everything from video games to tennis rackets. The holiday shopping season is a big one for retailers and consumers alike. Today's deal on Amazon though is on a recent release for a solid discount. You can snag Dragon Age: Inquisition on any platform for just $44.99.

Hard to believe, but November is over. We're entering the cold winter months with plenty of games to play but very little news or releases. That's ok though as this fall was a monster of a season with more games than we know what to do with. Ubisoft came up big this year with several solid releases, including one that's sneaking in just into December.

I have to wonder what EA's obsession is with implementing co-op gameplay into the third installment of single player games. Mass Effect 3, Dead Space 3, and Star Wars: The Old Republic (I mean, if we're calling it part of the KoTOR franchise), all tacked on multiplayer at game three, so now it's Dragon Age's...

Amazon's Black Friday deals are live for video games, and this year there are over 1200 items on sales including games for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and many more. You'll also find lots of peripherals on sale for your console of choice or PC. 

Those wacky Xbox guys have some big things planned for this year's Black Friday. They're kicking things off a bit early, though, with the latest Deals with Gold. Nearly 100 games and add-ons are on sale from now through December 1st covering both Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles. There's even a few co-op games in the mix!

Hyrule Warriors is one of those rare breed of games that have been released on a Nintendo platform and is being supported by DLC.  Co-Optimus has already brought you information on the 2nd DLC pack called Twilight Princess, but now there is a trailer.
