December is upon is. Another holiday season right around the corner. A time of reflection, tranquillity and friendly gatherings allowing you to finally get out that awesome local co-op game you've been sitting on all year and play through it with your family and/or friends - or just dance your heart out with this years installment of the ever popular Just Dance-series. But while we do appreciate the fun in helplessly flayling around - we personally prefer to do it on our own and behind closed doors with multiple locks.

As I'm sure your inboxes have informed you, today is Giving Tuesday, an unofficial holiday for non-profit organizations to ask for the pocket change you didn't spend during Black Friday month and Cyber Monday week. I kid, but I've honestly given up on trying to keep track of sales. It's gotten a little crazy. So instead of spending your hard earned cash on stuff you don't need, why not donate it to a charity?

Before closing its doors in 2014, Japanese developer Westone created the Wonder Boy series, the Sega CD co-op classic Dungeon Explorer, and many more games. Westone’s last title, the co-op platformer Clockwork Aquario, never made it to arcades and was thought lost for many years. Thankfully, ININ Games recently uncovered and completed the gam...

Taito’s Darius series of shoot ‘em ups has spanned generations, beginning as a 2D arcade game and eventually evolving into the 2.5D extravaganza Dariusburst: Another Chronicle EX . One installment that hasn’t always gotten enough love is G-Darius, the 1997 entry that marked the series’ transition to 3D graphics while maintai...

Earlier this week, ININ Games announced the upcoming English release of Taito Milestones for Nintendo Switch. The collection will contain 10 arcade classics from Taito, and it's set to receive both a regular physical release and a Collector's Edition from Strictly Limited Games. Preorders have now gone live for the physical editions, and we now know the compilation's full lineup of games to boot.

We started covering the iiRcade platform when the company slashed its home arcade cabinet prices ahead of Black Friday a short while ago. The deals keep coming, it turns out, as the iiRcade Classic Bundle is now on sale for $299 through Cyber Monday! And to go with that fancy new arcade cabinet, the iiRcade Game Store currently has more than 30 gam...

The appeal of the iiRcade home arcade console is that it mixes the experience and form factor of an arcade cabinet with the console-like ability to buy and download games. The iiRcade platform will soon resemble modern consoles even more closely in features when online multiplayer (including co-op!) comes to all retro games on iiRcade early next year.

During the PlayStation 2 era, Taito released several compilations of its classic arcade games under the names Taito Legends and Taito Memories. Now developer Hamster and publisher ININ Games are readying a similar collection for Nintendo Switch called Taito Milestones. The upcoming collection is set to receive both digital and physical release...

See those birds? Horde. That door? Horde. Car? Horde. Artillery Cannon? Horde. Yes, we triggered the horde more than a handful of times last night. And by we, I mean Mike. But it's ok. That's why we are playing Back 4 Blood - to get dem zombies. 

With the recent Black Friday sale (which actually lasts the rest of the year), I finally grabbed an iiRcade home arcade cabinet. As with any arcade cabinet intended for home use, some assembly is required. To provide an idea of what the assembly process and final product are like, we've got impressions and photos.

If you missed the news last week, Halo Infinite's free to play PvP multiplayer got a surprise release about a month before the full game's release on December 8th. And while that was good news, shortly after came some bad. Eurogamer spoke with Joseph Staten, Head of Creative on Halo Infinite for the scoop.

For our latest "Let's Play Co-Op," Jason talks a lot, Mike rejoices that someone else on staff is now an advocate for Final Fantasy XIV, Locke tries to keep up, and Nick takes a nap.
