Sink into Synesthesia, Become a Slave to the Beat

Pixeljunk 4AM Co-Op Review

Q-Games has quite the kaleidoscopic pedigree, touching on very different genres with each game they produce in the Pixeljunk series. Pixeljunk 4AM presents itself as a ‘Virtual Audio Canvas’ that is a musical toy using motion controls in an innovative way, allowing the user to create a soundscape of rhythmic synesthesia. 4AM does away with the traditional sense of mixing music but is built on the foundation of loops, beats, and samples.

Gearbox's Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 is "Evolving"

Gearbox's other four player cooperative title, Brothers in Arm: Furious 4, was notably absent from this year's E3. The studio's head honcho and co-op aficionado, Randy Pitchford, recently told CVG "the game has evolved." He wouldn't say what the game had evolved into... I'm hoping dinosaurs, because, well, WWII-era Nazi-eating T-Rex's would be a glorious thing. But that seems unlikely.

New Magicka Video Explains Wizard's Absence from SDCC

  The robed wizards of Magicka will not be attending San Diego Comic Con. They had a run in with a Necromancer from their "Other Side of the Coin" DLC.

New LEGO The Lord of the Rings Screens from SDCC

Not much more to say - if you're headed to the San Diego Comic Con this weekend you should stop by and check out the LEGO The Lord of the Rings video game in all its co-op glory.  If you aren't headed to sunny San Diego to schmooze it up with celebs, check out comics and cosplay, and get your hands on the latest video games -  perhaps a handful of new screens from the game will make up for it.

New Borderlands 2 Trailer has less Wub Wub, More Wimoweh

It's almost time for another gaming convention, or in this case, comics and games.  The San Diego Comic Con kicks off today and with it comes some gaming goodness.  If the last full Borderlands 2 trailer we saw had too much DubStep for your eardrums to handle, perhaps you'd prefer the latest rendition - with a little Wimoweh.  Yes, this will be stuck in your head the rest of the day.

Everyone has their go-to co-op partner or crew. Tell us about yours!

Co-Optimus Community Voice for July 2012 - Who's in Your Crew?

Most people, myself included, have a group of friends who really click and spend the most game time together. I like to call this group "my crew" because, well, they're by my side through thick and thin. They're the guys or gals that churn fun times out of terrible games, and create smiling-so-hard-your-cheeks-hurt moments out of great games.

New Realms of Ancient War Trailer Covers the Basics

I've been missing out on Realms of Ancient War news. When I caught this video I was pleasantly surprised. It covers your basic ARPG elements: setting, classes, loot, and co-op. I don't know, something about the visuals is "doing it" for me. Maybe it's all the nice area of effect spells and powers that radiate from the characters throughout the video. I do enjoy swatting several flies at once.

Petition to Add Women to Aliens: Colonial Marines Multiplayer Triples Goal, Fans Want Strong Female Representation

In an E3 live chat Gearbox producer Brian Burleson let it slip that players will not be able to play as female Marines in Aliens: Colonial Marines. This came as a shock to fans of the series. Strong female characters are a hallmark of the Alien franchise. For Gearbox to not feature a female lead is more than a mere oversight, it's a tragedy.
