Worms Revolution Co-op Review
Some games feel like I have been playing them for years. In the case of Worms Revolution, I pretty much have, but will the added co-op make the game feel fresh and shiny new?

Last week I forgot to include Skylanders Giants in the "Co-Op Release Alert." Lucky for me, I'm good friends with the guy who's writing this week's "Co-Op Release Alert." So we included it here. Happy gaming!
Resident Evil 6 has been a polarizing release for the series, but one thing is for certain - it's loaded with co-op goodness. We've compiled a handy FAQ as a compendium to our database entries. This is everything you need to know about Resident Evil 6's cooperative experience spelled out in plain English.
Sometimes it boggles the mind just how out of touch designers can be, complicating a situation that doesn't need to be complicated at all. Such is the situation with the upcoming Nintendo Wii U and how you'll be voice chatting with friends in co-op games...that support it.
Two things we can say about Sega Genesis games: they were really hard by today's standards, and many of them were also great games. Sonic, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, all still worth playing (though many would prefer the arcade version of Golden Axe available on XBLA). PC gamers have lots of options for playing 16-bit Sega games, chief among them (illegal) emulation and legal emulation, i.e. paying for them. The latter crowd will appreciate the sale going on at a place caled DotEmu then. They've bundled 45 Sega Genesis games at the super-low price of $10 for the next few days. Head past the break for the full list.
Our Extra Life marathon starts tomorrow morning, and we're pumped. We've met our fundraising goal, planned our day, and we're ready to go. This group of Co-Optimus staff and community members couldn't be more excited. We have one more thing to ask of you before we start tomorrow: please donate! Even though we've met our team goal, the kids still need our donations. We're all very passionate about this charity. We want to help. Here are our team members with excerpts from their pages:
It may not have co-op, but XCOM is one of the most addictive games released this Fall. Several of the staffers are addicted to the turn based strategy game from Firaxis. In fact, my entire squad in the game is named after several staff members - and while some may have fallen, RIP Mike, Tally and Paul - several soldier on to defeat the alien menace.
Remember Anarchy Reigns? Of course you do! Who could forget these videos? The giant online multiplayer brawler came out in Japan a few months ago, and it's heading to the US early next year. Like all Platinum Games projects, this title features insane action. Like, certifiably insane action. I played the demo and got my butt kicked repeatedly. I kind of loved it.
Borderlands 2 has been out for a little over a month, and the role playing shooter has already received two impressive add-ons. The first content drop added a new playable character, Gaige the Mechromancer. She was included as a free bonus with all pre-orders.
Halo 4 is just over two weeks away, but today we've got the official launch trailer for the game. This launch trailer won't be showcasing any gameplay, instead it attempts to humanize the Master Chief. The just over two minute trailer is produced by David Fincher (Fight Club) and directed by Tim Miller (Scott Pilgrim vs the World) and it tells the story of a young boy who became a spartan - showing many of the scenes from the book Fall of Reach.
Digital Extreme Development Team members casually discuss two more of Warframe’s upcoming, epic characters, Loki and Mag, while drinking delicious coffee. After we watched this video, we immediately saw the similarities between Loki and Mag with their Borderlands 2 counterparts, Zero and Maya, and got extremely excited for its release day.
It’s somebody’s birthday! No, not just anyone’s, but a great co-op title we’ve come to love over this past year: Dungeon Defenders! Celebrating its franchise’s first year as a game, Trendy Entertainment and Reverb Publishing have released a new DLC for gamers to enjoy in the festivities. Over the next couple of weeks, gamers can purchase the “Dungeon Defenders Anniversary Pack” DLC for free online.
