I'm just dancing over these new screenshots from the upcoming DLC for Borderlands. Called Claptrap's New Robot Revolution the content will not only add dozens of new quests, a splattering of new robot hybrid enemies, and of course - plenty of co-op action - it'll feature the only robotic ninja assassin Claptrap in the galaxy.
It wasn't long ago that hope was delivered in the form of a giant bomb to the Covenant courtesy of a 60 second live action trailer. Today we have the extended version of that trailer, clocking in at a full two and a half minutes. What's different? The pacing is a bit more deliberate this time around and there's a few new action sequences as well. But all of these extended cuts and additions still don't make up for the lack of a real Halo movie.
The fifth Brink developer diary is out, this time focusing not on the game itself, but on the team of developers behind it and how their vision of specific features make their way from dreams to reality. The Splash Damage team is made up of numerous industry veterans like Richard Ham who have always wanted the freedom to create something amazing without too much holding them back, and according to each of them, they are finally doing it with Brink.
Our good friend Rob Schuster from Colony of Gamers was at PAX 2010 this past weekend and got some hands on time with Portal 2's co-op mode. He wrote some hands on impressions, almost all of them positive, giving us the goods on our robot duo's adventures through science.

ClaDun: This is an RPG! is a not-so-subtle 8-bit style RPG (duh) built exclusively for your PSP. The name ClaDun is a bit of a play on words, but also describes what the game is. Cla(ssic)Dun(geon) suggests the game is built similar to a dungeon crawler of old, mixed with the humor expected from newer games, and nicely tied together by quirky 8-bit animations.
At PAX 2009, we got a behind the scenes look at Islands of Wakfu, a co-op action adventure game with a series of unique magic elements, a dragon, and teleportation. A year later in development and Wakfu’s stylized art has been made into an official trailer - and boy does it look shiny.
We just got a fresh batch of screenshots of Gears of War 3 that showcase the game's beautiful graphics and gritty violence. Not only that we get a glimpse at a full cast of characters - including a new female COG in addition to Anya - though we don't know her name yet.

There's a new video out covering Halo Reach and its audio design produced by the SoundWorks Collection. In it, Bungie Studios Audio Director and Composer Marty O’Donnell and Sound Designers C Paul Johnson and Jay Weinland discuss the creative and technical challenges for creating the sound in the biggest Halo game to date.
One of the highlight co-op games this generation was a budget Xbox 360 title called Earth Defense Force 2017. It looked and felt like a B movie of the 1950's with giant ants and bugs, huge flying saucers, and big robots that unleashed destruction on the cities of the world. It was a two player local co-op game with plenty of laugh out loud moments - and it was also a ton of fun.
Like a Robot In Disguise, this one sort of snuck by us undetected. The second DLC pack for Transformers War for Cybertron is now available. This pack is headlined by the inclusion of two new characters for competitive multiplayer and co-op friendly Escalation mode: the Decepticon speedster Dead End, and fallen Autobot champion Zeta Prime. The pack also includes five new maps, two of which are for Escalation mode, "Pulse" and "Static". Though there are fewer characters in this new content than the first pack, it will sport the same price, costing roughly $10. You can check out the trailer to decide whether this DLC pack will stand or fall on its own merits.
