Details are starting to be released on the new Ghost Recon game entitled Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. We told you guys a little while back about the game's officially announcement accompanied with a teaser trailer, but didn't have much more information at that time. Now we have the joyous affirmation that yes, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will indeed feature co-op! Better yet, it's 4-player drop-in/drop-out co-op. What else will this new installment in the Ghost Recon series offer us, though?

We've got a most intriguing issue of On the Download lined up for you, including our very special centerfold guest of the week. They're hot, they're bothered, and they've got guns. Also on the plate: Borderlands "Zombie Island" DLC, and Resident Evil 5's "Desperate Escape" DLC pack. Don't miss it!

We're one away from turning the big 4-0, but that won't stop us from churning out a content rich episode.

It's been a few months since we've had a Halo Waypoint Co-Op Night, but we're back to our regularly scheduled programming with the event. This month marks the one year anniversary of Halo Wars, and we're celebrating the only way we know how - by playing it.

Codemasters, the developers behind the Overlord and Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, announced a new FPS IP today called Bodycount.  The premise behind the game is that you're caught up in some shadow war between rival agencies and are tasked with eliminating high-profile "Targets."  Based on the announcement, though, that's just window dressing for what will be the main focus of the game: the shooting and the killing.  There are some rather interesting details in the announcement, such as no indestructible cover for enemies to hide behind, but the one that caught our eye was the inclusion of a "co-operative game mode."

I'm pretty sure someone at Ruffian Games wants to suck up all my gaming time with Crackdown 2.  The team plans on adding video replay functionality, including the ability to share videos, into Crackdown 2 post launch via downloadable content.  While they had hoped to have the feature included on the disc, the team found that creating a replay system for the game's four player co-op mode was quite the task.  And it was a task they wanted to get right.

The PSN title Shatter, which combines a side scrolling shooter with brick breaking, was a original and beautiful game when it released last year.  Sadly it was missing the thing we desire most in our gaming experiences in the form of co-op multiplayer.  

I like all my game hype to come with an attached cooking reference, so Capcom's latest trailer for Lost Planet 2 fits the bill nicely.  Dubbed the 'Sizzle Trailer' the 4 minute preview makes the game look as tasty as a Full English Breakfast with extra greasy toast.

Aliens Vs. Predator wasn't designed from the ground up for co-op, but there's still a good co-op experience to be had in Survivor mode.  Similar to Gears of War 2's Horde mode, Survival puts you in the shoes of a squad of Colonial marines, taking on wave after wave of Alien invaders.  As with all similar modes, a variety of maps makes a big difference, and more will soon be available.

Lionhead Studios really wants customer feedback on Fable III. They're testing the target audience on Facebook by revealing a screenshot at a time, and asking what you think about what you see. They've already made allusions to making real co-op, but the best way to insure its success is by having you, the player, post your opinion with them.

If the recent news that Portal 2 would have co-op didn't blow your mind, perhaps the latest news from developer Valve will.  They have officially announced Mac support for their Steam platform, Steamworks API, and Source Engine.  What does that mean?  Any game built on the Source engine could theoretically be ported with relative ease to the Mac.

The Red Star was a co-op game for the PS2 that arrived late in the console's lifecycle, well after the next gen of consoles had hit the market, but that didn't stop it from being a thoroughly enjoyable beat 'em up/shoot 'em title that's worth playing.  Well XS Games, the game's publisher, recently announced that this gem of a co-op title will be given a new life on the PSP and iPhone "early spring 2010."  As a huge fan of both the game and the comic series it's based on, I'm excited that this game will see a new release on some other gaming platforms.  Hopefully it does well enough that an XBLA or PSN version won't be far behind.
