The co-op action RPG Dungeon Hunter 4 is making its way to Windows Phone 8 later this year. That's good because the platform isn't exactly overflowing with games. That's bad because the iOS version drowned in an embarrassing flood of microtransactions.

We greatly enjoyed Dungeon Hunter: Alliance in its other forms on the PSN and iOS, but now that we've got another portable version how does this stack up with true console like controls? Lets find out.

Happy Valentine's Day!  What?  You forgot?  Dang.  You're screwed.  Nah, I'm just kidding.  Valentine's Day isn't until tomorrow.  Buy someone something nice.  Or don't.  It's your call.  If you're really smooth you could buy your significant  other (or mom) a sweet PlayStation Vita launch title, you know, drop a little hint for the February 15th release of the Vita's First Launch Bundle.

Dungeon Hunter, the popular mobile gaming franchise, is getting a third installment.  Appropriately titled Dungeon Hunter 3, the threequel is "Coming Soon," according to the Gameloft Facebook page.  Think of it as a portable version of those hack and slash RPG's we've all come to know and love, and then know some more, then love a little less...

By now we've all been bashed over the head with franchises that are purportedly getting PlayStation Vita iterations next year, so I won't repeat them here. New titles, however, have been added by Ubisoft and Sony in an announcement made during Gamescom.

I am not sure if I’m noticing my own habits of buying games that are similar all at once, or if the world is conspiring to release an onslaught of similar games one after another. This is where you decide. Do you see handfuls of games that appear to be coincidentally similar?

Dungeon Hunter: Alliance has made the transition from the iOS to the PlayStation Network. Four players can get together on the couch or online for a diabolic dungeon crawl. Is this the Diablo-clone you're looking for? Find out, in our Co-Op Review.

Did you get Dungeon Hunter Alliance?  Yeah, we know it's awesome.  Have you played online yet?  Yep, we know it's not working.  Two Co-Optimus editors got together last night for some dungeon crawling action, but were distraught to find that existing characters couldn't join up online. There's a bug hindering online co-op. Established characters could join public games, but it appeared that they could not join a game they were invited to.  For example: I couldn't bring my level 5 Rogue into Nick's game, and he couldn't bring his level 6 Warrior into mine.  The screen would simply flash a message saying we couldn't join the game or the host game didn't exist anymore.  (We could bring a newly created character into the game, but that's just stupid.)  

If you're a PlayStation 3 owner, a PlayStation Plus member, and if you never quite caught on to one of the most fun tactical first-person shooters available this generation...then you need to hit the craps tables right now, because Lady Luck is smiling!
