The Co-Opticrew is donning their best knickers and heading to the golf course this weekend to show off their exceptional approach game.  You won't find any bogeys lying around this weekend - it's birdie or bust for us.  Golf may not be the most cooperative activity around, but sometimes, you just need a chance to prove you're better at hitting a ball than your friends.  Don't worry, though, we'll be working together again soon enough (once the trash talk has worn off).

Unless you count Birdemic (and you shouldn't), you'd have to look all the way back to Alfred Hitchcock's Birds for the last instance of avian-centric fear. Fortunately for us, Obsidian Entertainment has taken up the mantle by introducing a new, feathery terror to their survival game, Grounded. 

I'll be honest, when Hellraid was announced it was easily one of my most anticipated co-op games. Heretic and Hexen were some of my all time favorite shooters and this looked like a solid spiritual successor. Hellraid has taken a turn though, instead of a full fledged release (at least for now) - it's merely a concept in a piece of content for Dying Light. So does it scratch that itch?

I have precisely zero surgical experience, but from what I've gathered through medical osmosis, it seems like an unbearably tense situation, and that's even for people with full control of their limbs.  Imagine, then, how much worse it must be when you have dubious sway over your own body and up to three friends laughing at how much you're screwing everything up.

Catherine may be one of the most unsettling games of the last console generation, but thanks to the excellent puzzle-based gameplay and the heavy-handed look at relationships, the game is getting new life with the Catherine: Full Body edition on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. The trailer below (gameplay taken from the Switch) shows off the atmospheric and creepy puzzles (styled as the main character's dreams) players will navigate through, in the hope of helping Vincent, and possibly his relationship, survive.

Everyone's favorite game about an especially mischievous goose is about to get a local, two player co-op mode, meaning double the trouble and double the honks.  As announced earlier this week, Untitled Goose Game will be expanding its player count via a free update on September 23rd.  You can obviously still pick up the game before that update hits, but just know that you'll be a very lonely goose until then.

Larian Studios delayed the early access portion of Baldur's Gate 3 back in July, but didn't give a new estimate on when we might finally get our hands on the game. Now today, during a 90 minute livestream showing new gameplay details, we have an answer. 

G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout is a new team-based, third-person shooter based on Hasbro’s popular 80's franchise. Play as your favorite heroes and villains from Team Joe and Team Cobra in this stylish shooter coming to PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Oct. 13, 2020.

Off the back of their twin successes, Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide and Warhammer: Vermintide 2, Fatshark has decided to take yet another dip into the waters of co-op, first person gameplay.  This time, though, they've left behind the dark, medieval setting of Warhammer Fantasy and flung themselves into the dark, sci-fi future of Warhammer 40,000.

The original Battletoads on NES, released in 1991, is still considered one of the hardest video games ever. Take that Dark Souls. Now the game is getting a new sequel featuring Rash, Zitz and Pimple in an "all-new action-packed adventure of choreographed chaos."

My time travel spell worked!  Thanks to that musty, old eldritch tome I found in the storage nook, I've transported myself directly into another Friday.  Just imagine, with this kind of power, I could create a never-ending series of weekends full of gaming.  The possibilities are endle-... er, wait.  Actually, I'm just remembering that ever since quarantine began, all my days have started to blend together, so the last week feels like approximately seven minutes of time.  That must mean... I've... got a lot of newt's eyes to clean up.

It's been a while since we've gotten a full, numbered Serious Sam entry, and while the franchise's hordes of fans (Sammites? Samaritans?) have been very patient in waiting for the upcoming Serious Sam 4, they'll unfortunately have to hold on just a bit longer.  As it turns out, developer Croteam no longer feels comfortable with the original August release date and, as such, have pushed the release to September 24th.
