Once again, we step away from the couch and to the kitchen table for another edition of Tabletop Co-Op. In this series, we look for the best cooperative card and board games out there. Today’s game looks very much like a video game, with characters and enemies that would be at home in Halo or Gears of War. But Xenoshyft Onslaught is no video ...

So...as you know, we - the staff - been tasked by Nick to hop online in any co-op game to play with random people in public matches. The process is as simple as it sounds, thanks to plenty of games with matchmaking options. Since the news of Battlefield 3’s two-player co-op was still fresh, I decided to give the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Onslaught mode another spin.

The WiiWare has been pretty sparse with co-op releases, but it's beginning to show some promise.  With titles like Eduardo the Samurai Toaster and now Onslaught - the WiiWare looks like it could have some great original cooperative titles.
