If the sixteen co-op titles coming out this month aren't doing it for you, why not check out a few older games on the cheap? The new Xbox Live Arcade Deal of the Week has five better-than-good co-op offerings for 50 to 60% off their regular price. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, Bionic Commando: Rearmed, Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2, Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, and Warhammer 40k: Kill Team are all on sale. Follow each game's link for co-op details.

Farewell THQ and Atari US, parting is such sweet sorrow.  As these two former giants of the game developing world slip into the eternal night, what will happen to their downloadable games?  If XBLA is any indication; some games will be pulled, some reduced and some not touched at all!  Voltron has been delisted, Yar's Revenge and The Undergarden have been reduced, whilst Warhammer 40K: Kill Team remains untouched.  Confused?  You will be.

Good news for all you folks that either don't have an Xbox 360 or prefer your twin-stick shooters on your Playstation 3: Warhammer 40k: Kill Team is due out on PSN next Tuesday (August 2nd). We reviewed the XBLA version and found it a satisfying co-op game, though not without its flaws. The PSN version sounds to be virtually unchanged from the XBLA one, with two-player local same-screen co-op . It features four classes as well as weapon upgrades and a perk system. The PSN version will also be $10.

Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team can best be described as a co-op twin-stick appetizer to the main course that is Relic’s Space Marine (co-op TBD) – set to release this fall. So, how does this morsel fare, and does it provide enough of a 40k experience to sate your appetite?

This week we have a promising pair of downloadable titles... and not much else.  Go outside and play.  Nah, we're just kidding.  Get these games!

As a twin stick shooter fan and as a Warhammer 40K fan, it's hard not to be excited for the upcoming game Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team. Combining these two things players are put in control of one of four different characters Sternguard Veteran, Techmarine, Vanguard Veteran and Librarian. The classes all have base starting points and their own unique special attacks.

THQ have announced a downloadable twin stick shooter set in the Warhammer 40K universe called Warhammer 40,000: KIll Team.  Players take the role of an elite Space Marine team sent to assault a giant Ork Kroozer en-route to an Imperial Forge World.  The game promises big boss battles and plenty of gory death as you try to "prevent the waaaaaagh."
