In case you've been living under a rock, Army of Two: The 40th Day comes out next week.  The promotional juggernaut is going strong with this title, and a Youtube video featuring "The Two Who Make An Army" was just released.  It's got a few genuinely funny bits, my favorite involving an errant smoke grenade.  Definitely worth checking out!

Before you freak out about the title of this article, let's look at the definition of co-op again, taken straight from our Co-Op Terminology Guide:

We preview the cooperative games of 2010 in our first big feature of the new year. It's a jam packed new year already, and if the schedule holds true, there's over two dozen announced co-op titles. We're onto the second half of 2010 with some of the biggest titles of the year.

It's time for our next Halo Waypoint co-op night, and this time we're going for the truly dedicated Halo fans. It's time to focus on the Vidmaster achievements, the co-op obtainable ones specifically, and maybe...just maybe...I can haz recon. So read on to find out how you can join up.

 The second bit of Borderlands DLC has hit the four player co-op title, and instead of adding new story based missions, we're given something with a bit more replayability.  Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot is part Smash TV, part Halo 3: ODST's Firefight, and all chaos.  It's cooperative arena based action with plenty of loot for a reward.  

It's 2010 people.  We all have flying cars, hologram televisions, and cell phones embedded in our teeth.  The future is here.  So along with all of our awesome new futuristic technology comes the shuttering of old.  

In pursuit of being the most efficient Left 4 Dead 2 co-op players on the internet, we present a chart created by Steam user "Urik" depicting the different weapons in the game versus the Tank. This is how long it will take you to bring down the Tank to carry your team, take notes.

Asteroids is one of the best games of the Golden Age of the arcade. The original Asteroids was almost perfect; regretfully, it lacked co-op play. Thankfully, this oversight would be fixed many years and several iterations of the series later.
