After the less than stellar Orcs Must Die! Unchained, the free to play moba-esque version of the game, the series returns in all its original glory with a focus on tower defense once again in Orcs Must Die! 3. Jason and I dove in head first to see what has changed since the last proper game was released in 2012.
Alongside the free 'Left 4 Dead Character Pack 2' that released this week, cooperative horror shooter Zombie Army 4 also received a new premium DLC mission. 'Return to Hell' is the finale of the Season Three storyline, taking the fight against evil directly into Hell itself. The new mission really showcases how tense and c...
When Rebellion released the free 'Left 4 Dead Character Pack' for Zombie Army 4 in June, we suspected that it was only a matter of time until a character pack with the Left 4 Dead 2 characters followed. That has now come to pass - the new free DLC pack adds the four Left 4 Dead 2 survivors to Zombie Army 4 as playable ch...
Rainbow Six Extraction, the co-op title that started as a spin-off mode for the popular competitive FPS Rainbow Six Siege, has gotten pushed back a little bit. During E3 last month, Ubisoft announced that the game - which was previously known as Rainbow Six Quarantine, and Rainbow Six Parasite before that - would launch on September 16 this year. A few days ago, though, Ubisoft announced that they would need just a little more time to get it done.
Rebellion is best known for its Sniper Elite and Zombie Army series of third-person shooters, and yet, those aren’t the only shooters up the UK-based developer’s sleeve. Back in 2018, Rebellion released a sleeper hit known as Strange Brigade. This one combines the studio’s signature third-person cooperative shooting with ample amo...
Borderlands 3 is one of the biggest co-op shooters around. It's not exactly hard to find other players with which to co-op loot-shoot, but more potential players is usually better, right? As of today's update, finding online co-op partners should be even easier; crossplay (cross-platform multiplayer) has finally come to most versions of Borderlands 3. The update also adds permanent seasonal event toggling, a new level cap increase, and more.
The Overcooked series and the recently released Lumberhill have proven that you can make a fun party game out of pretty much any job. The next career/task to get the party game treatment is the professional moving business, in the form of Get Packed: Fully Loaded from Coatsink Software.

Zombie Army 4, Rebellion's co-op shooter, isn't shy about downloadable content. The game is currently in the middle of Season 3 of its post-release DLC. A new premium mission has just landed along with cosmetic items and weapons. Most excitingly, though is the addition of four playable characters from Valve's Left 4 Dead series. And eve...
When Robot Entertainment released Orcs Must Die! 3 out of nowhere last year, the news was bittersweet. Many of us were glad to see a new game in the co-op action-tower defense series but less excited about it being a Stadia exclusive. Thankfully, it was only a timed exclusive, and Orcs Must Die! 3 will now be coming to Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam in July.
We at Co-Optimus had a great time with Strange Brigade when it appeared on PC and consoles back in 2018. It cleverly mixes the enjoyable third-person shooting of Rebellion's Sniper Elite and Zombie Army series with huge hordes of enemies, a rollicking Egyptian adventure, and humorous narration. A whole new set of players can enjo...

This update adds sw...
