Nice face, Frank. If you're sick of looking at Frank West's ugly mug and want to get your Tetsuo: Iron Man on, you're in luck. The Cyborg Skills Pack DLC was announced last week and is available NOW. It gives you a sleek T-800 look and some nice electric effects like that lightning guy had in Big Trouble in Little China. By the way, Frank is definitely probing a zombie at the end of the video. Awesome?
It was the on again, off again, rumor of 2011. Mass Effect 3 will be getting co-op. It won’t be getting co-op. The fact of the matter is - Mass Effect 3 will have a co-op mode, I’ve seen it and I’ve played it, and it’s good. The entire co-op campaign is part of a larger system called The Galaxy at War. While the details to this are still completely under wraps it appears that doing certain extra things like playing co-op, participating in a social game, or other similar things can effect what happens during the ending sequences of Mass Effect 3 much like doing the loyalty missions in Mass Effect 2 effected the ending of that game.
Age of Empires Online has added its first major race, the Persians. With this premium content you get immediate access to level 20 in the game. The Persians have all custom units, a new tech tree, and all unique architecture and unique gear. This makes them play completely different than the Greeks or Egyptians that were part of the free base game.
Co-Optimus can show you a world, shining, shimmering, splendid. Tell me co-op fans when did you last let your heart watch a new launch video for Disney Universe?
We're back with another exciting Co-Opticast as Nick and Mike take you on an epic journey through their gaming catalog. There's a lot to talk about, including impressions of plenty of solid co-op titles like PayDay, Dungeon Defenders and more. The news is also discussed with Battlefield 3, Mass Effect 3 and Gears of War 3 on the tip of everyone's tongue. Seriously...what's up with all these 3's?
We've been anticipating Payday: The Heist ever since we got our greedy little hands on it at E3. Does it take the bank or wind up leaving it's wallet at the scene of the crime? Find out in our Co-Op Review.
Have you somehow not picked up Dead Island yet? What the heck is wrong with you? I have it on good authority that this is one of the best co-op titles of the year. So what are you waiting for?

There's even additional DLC coming out next month! Make sure you use this link, and help support Co-Optimus!
Ok, so we kind of lied yesterday. When we said that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine's DLC would be up shortly on the Xbox 360, we actually meant - well - we didn't know exactly what shortly mean. According to an official post on the Space Marine forums, Relic found a bug in the title update/DLC that caused connection issues in co-op on the 360 version causing them to pull it at the last minute.
We got a brand new trailer today for the upcoming four player co-op platformer, Rayman Origins. The trailer showcases Rayman's adventure in the belly of the beast, or rather, inside a giant fat red dragon. It's a colorful and impressive looking game that is sure to look even better on a nice big HDTV.
You may have heard little whisperings about Okabu, like how it’s a pro-environment game, or how it sports a cutesy artstyle. Or this PSN-exclusive game’s release last week may have quietly slipped under you radar. Whether you have some invested interest in the game or if this is the first time you’ve heard much about it, we’re here to give you the verdict in our Co-Op Review.
Some of the best co-op experiences come as a surprise and this was the case with Dungeon Siege 3. Despite the issues with the camera and co-op experience, it was still really fun game. However, it lacked something - mummies. This oversight has now been resolved with the newly released Treasures of the Sun DLC available across all platforms.
We first played Otomedius Excellent, Konami’s 2.5D shoot-em-up, at this year's E3 convention. Since then, Konami has steadily updated the game’s Facebook page but hasn’t otherwise spoken about the game too much. This has been mostly due to a few delays as they worked hard on preparing the English version of the game for release. Retailers Amazon and GameStop have been playing the guessing game with Otomedius’ release date, giving it a November 1 placeholder release date. Co-Optimus has some good news for shmup fans today: Konami has informed us that the November 1 release date is now official!
