When the massive chunk of plastic that was Skylanders arrived at Co-Optimus Towers, who would have thought the game would have walked away with the maximum 5 out of 5? EA know a good thing when they see it, so they have attached DLC to one of their own range of figurines. However, this is no kid friendly game, but the highly anticipated Mass Effect 3. Buy one of the new range of models and get some randomized DLC for the Mass Effect 3 co-op mode - gotta catch 'em all?

While people could have stuck around a bit longer during our recent Co-Op Night (bunch of sleepy heads!), Magicka continues to be one of the more popular games on Steam. The DLC alone has sold over 4 million pieces on top of the main game's 1.3 million sales (I'm sure the Steam holiday sale prices didn't hurt). Naturally, Swedish fish developer Paradox Inreractive is following up with another expansion: 'The Other Side of the Coin.' The twist: it lets players take on the role of the bad guys for a change. That's all I need to know - I've been wanting to beat up on the robed do-gooders for a while now.

Maybe you've been looking at picking up some Capcom titles on Xbox Live Arcade? You might want to wait until later this spring. The rather blandly-named Capcom Digital Collection is headed to retail release in late March. The  disc bundles eight of Capcom's better downloadable offerings, several of which are co-op. 1942: Joint Strike, Bionic Commando Rearmed 2, Final Fight: Double Impact (pictured above), Flock!, Rocketmen: Axis of Evil, and Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 all feature co-op gameplay; for details, check out the links. Rounding out the set are two very popular games that lack co-op but are still pretty awesome: Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.  

Welcome to a week of PlayStation Vita updates! Ubisoft has announced its campaign to inform the world of their upcoming launch titles, the first being Dungeon Hunters: Alliance.

The official launch date of Namco Bandai’s newest installment, Inversion, was intended for February 7th of this year. However, several retail outlets, such as Gamefly and Gamestop, have recently altered the game’s release date on their websites, unveiling the delay of Inversion's official release for March.

When the Wii opened up the whole "casual" gaming venture to the consoles (what feels like) many years ago, Disney seemed like a natural fit with this crowd. Afterall, they'd already been releasing plenty of tie-in games and other forms of interactive entertainment for years. The release of the Kinect, then, was yet another platform for the world's most famous mouse and all of his friends to hop onto to spread fun and cheer to the world. Kinect Disneyland Adventures was the first release to utilize the new motion controls, and coming out of this year's CES event, a new co-op title for the family has been announced featuring characters and environments from five of Pixar's films - Kinect Rush: A Disney•Pixar Adventure.

Diablo 3 isn't out yet, but that doesn't stop Blizzard from telling us what changes they're making to the game (coincidentally reminding us we are not playing it, sadface). While we are a long ways away from being able to compile a Diablo 3 strategy guide we can survive for now on the occasional press release to hold us over.  Recently, Blizzard announced several system changes they would be implementing, ranging from interface tweaks to item removals to stat changes. If you're interested in the cliffnotes, we've trimmed it down to the short and sweet.

Square-Enix dropped Scarygirl on Xbox Live Arcade with practically no notice. But it's here now, and we all have to deal with it one way or another. Based on the still-kinda-expensive-'cause-it's-hardcover graphic novel by Australian artist Nathan Jurevicius, Scarygirl is cute, slightly creepy, and co-op - a fine combination.

To say we're excited bout Shoot Many Robots around Co-Optimus HQ is an understatement.  Having had hands on time with the game and knowing just how ridiculously fun it can be has had us frothing at the mouth for nuts.  That didn't come out right, you see - when you kill robots in SMR they drop nuts and bolts.  Which is then used to upgrade your character and buy unique items.  Unique items like....BILLY A FRIENDS!  Hell yeah!

If recently reaching over 6 million user made levels was not enough for LittleBigPlanet 2, developers Media Molecule are doing even more for fans by partnering with The Muppets for The Muppets Premium Level Kit. The pack contains a bonus Rowlf costume (to go with the other Muppet costumes you can buy), but also 5 new levels, new stickers and 'Attract-o-Gel', which allows Sackboy et al. to walk on walls and ceilings.

Way back in December we reported that David Jaffe, director of the upcoming Twisted Metal reboot, did not want the game to include an online pass. Jaffe's concern: the negativity associated with online passes could slow the game's adoption rate. Be that as it may, the decision ultimately falls on Sony, the game's publisher. Not surprisingly, Sony has indeed chosen to include an online pass withTwisted Metal.

An Xbox.com listing for Resident Evil 6 suggests the game will feature a six player online co-op mode.  Whether this mode is the campaign or something extra remains to be seen.  Listings on Xbox.com do come direct from a publisher submitted form, so this reveal would suggest the feature is more or less official.
