Good games never die. They just get cheaper. Unless they're rare. Then they get ridiculously expensive, but I digress. Luckily for us, and fans of good games everywhere, Sony is offering all of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves DLC for the low, low price of el zilcho. That's right. It's all free.
What hath science wrought? Fable Heroes grafts the familiar Fable world onto a beat-em-up/party game with predictably mixed results. Its only hope for redemption: drop-in, drop-out combo co-op!

There have been some single player only heavy hitters this generation, but if rumors are to be believed, they are falling like skittles in the world’s easiest game of bowling.

Starhawk, the build and battle space shooter, launched exclusively for the PlayStation 3 today. It features intense multiplayer battles, an epic single player campaign, and (I hope) and equally satisfying co-op mode. The latest launch trailer looks very promising.

We recently received a tip from former Co-Optimus editor extraordinaire, Katrina Pawlowski, concerning a hot new indie game. SCHAR: Blue Shield Alliance is a four player cooperative twin-stick shooter - in space! We've mentioned it from time to time.

The Ghost Recon Future Soldier hype express has been gunning full throttle for some weeks now, as you would expect from a game out on May 22nd in the US and May 25th in the UK. Most of the trailers have been on the technical side, showing off aspects such as the guns, combat or multiplayer. This new trailer forgoes all this and sets the mood of the game as a badly beaten man tells his tale of the Ghosts.
