The first Smurfs game from, Microids, The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf, slipped under our radar back in 2021. Perhaps it was the weird subtitle? Still, Mission Vileaf was actually a really solid 3D platformer and a treat for fans of the franchise. Fast-forwarding a bit, The Smurfs 2: The Prisoner of the Green Stone will attempt to recapture the magic when it arrives this November. Like the first game, it will feature 2-player local co-op.

Being a Gold member of XBL is more than just having to pay for online stuff and getting some free old games.  It also gives you access to weekly sales that more often than not include money off co-op games.  This week is no different with the likes of Saints Row IV, Smurfs 2, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Rayman Legends, Invincible Tiger and many others having money off.

What the Smurf?  Smurfette has gone missing and we need help to get her back; 4 player co-op help.  The Smurfs 2 is an upcoming co-op title linked to this summer's box office behemoth of the same name.  The game is Smurfing out on the 23rd of July across PS3, 360, Wii and Wii U.  As a special Wii U treat, these gamers will be able to have an additional 5th player on the GamePad - that Smurfs!
