Thankfully there is no buttock showing over the web cam, but the recent ESRB rating of Lost Planet 2 suggests that perhaps this 4 player co-op game available later this year will have more than you bargained for! As well as hinting at some of the environments and weapons available it also suggests that some of the character models are less clad than others. Whilst male heroes will be dressed in the latest trends in armour, the female population may not be so fortunate having to go on a bug hunt wearing only “a piece of cloth hanging down the front and back portions of her body; this outfit tends to reveal her buttocks.”

This month the Battlefield Report takes a look at a myriad of games that have one thing in common: you have to shoot something. Unfortunately, it's not always that easy. We list the most common game functions that help you adjust your aim.

As a man there's one thing I've always wanted to do - put on a dress and makeup and go out and kill some zombies.  Wait, scratch that.  I, um... meant to say that a new bonus playable  character has been added to Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition in the co-op Mercenaries Reunion mode.

Yesterday I joked that the Uncharted series hadn't yet seen a PSP port, and that surely an announcement was forthcoming. Scott from In Game Chat and Mike were quick to call me out, but despite our clowning around Naughty Dog is hard at work on new material for Uncharted fans.

When Iron Lore studios closed its doors back in 2008, we were sad to hear the news.  After all, Titan Quest, their action/RPG title fashioned in the same vein as Diablo, was a great co-op game and nicely filled that action/RPG void that Diablo II had left in our hearts since the late '90s.  So when Crate Entertainment was formed earlier last year, we couldn't wait to see what that group would crank out.  We had to wait another year, but Crate Entertainment has now announced their new action/RPG title: Grim Dawn.

It appears that something wicked walks the Borderlands, and evil comes in the form of... hacked bobble heads!  Modded bobble heads full of cash are hacking players' shields and weapons, giving them an unfair advantage compared to legit players.  Worst of all, it can happen unknowingly to the innocent, as related by longtime Co-Optimus user Shazoo in our forums...

Sega has just announced that the upcoming Turn Based and Real-Time strategy game, Napoleon Total War, will feature some new multiplayer campaign modes - including co-op play.  This mode of play was a result of the successful beta for Empire Total War which featured similar modes.

The screenshots continue to roll in for the four player co-op Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce, which hits next month on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Today's the day to grab Death by Cube in all it's killer polygonal glory.  It's out on Xbox Live for 800  and features 8 player co-op play.  The latest trailer we just got makes the game look quite chaotic, frantic, and messy.  

It's always interesting to see some unique form of cooperative play pop up, such as that which is coming in TweetDefense.  The iPhone and iPod Touch game mashes up zombie survival modes with the tower defense genre and throws in Twitter for good measure.  Twitter?  Yes THAT Twitter.

America has a tradition of Monday nights being all about NFL football, but developer Uber Entertainment wants to change all that - they want Mondays to be about combat.

We mentioned some time back that an Xbox LIVE Arcade port of the PC indie hit Zeno Clash was in the works and that this version would include, among a few other features, the ability to play the game co-operatively.  ACE Team, the studio behind the game's development, recently revealed a few more details about this port to VG247.com, including what to expect regarding the game's co-op mode.
