My heart just stopped. No, I don't need an adrenaline shot or a tampon quick-fix...I need Army of Two: The 40th Day. Like, right now.

Right now Amazon is running a deal on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 where pre-orders get $20 in credit to be used towards future video game purchases.  That essentially makes the price of the game $40 on all three platforms; PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

The Rock Band iPhone app has been released, and is priced at $10.  That may seem a bit steep for a iPhone app, but since the game includes twenty songs, that's actually a decent deal for the music alone. 

Sent to die you say?  Nay - we say sent to be free and prosper!  According to Gearbox the Borderlands is selling well, extremely well, so much in fact that a lot of people are finding the game sold out.

According to the official Diablo Twitter account, the team is considering removing mana from Diablo 3- that's the blue stuff - and replacing it with class specific resources instead.  While the team had asked for feedback on it, it appears that mana has already been cut from the game for some of the announced classes.

We reviewed Killing Floor back in June of this year and gave it pretty high accolades.  In a world crowded with zombie and undead shooters, Killing Floor managed to set itself apart by offering new depth in gameplay and six player co-op.  If you still haven't dropped the $20 on the game, you can now get your hands waxed and ready with the full version for free this weekend on Steam.

I can hear the cries now, "WHAAAAAAAAAAAATT???!! That game’s not co-op! Why don’t you go write for Solo-Optimus!?!"  Well, relax those troubled cries for one moment and read on.  What follows is not a description of some dude who sat down and played a traditionally single player game.  Nay.  What follows is a tale of making an old game new again, and a gamer remembering why he began co-op gaming in the first place.

Sometimes, we get very disappointed when sales numbers are released.  The latest example is Dead Space Extraction.  Let's take a look at everything this game has going for it.

The television ads for Uncharted 2 posit that it is indistinguishable from a movie to intellectually-deprived girlfriends, and to a certain extent, you can count me in with that statistic.  For the first half of the single-player campaign, the relentless pacing, huge set pieces, wisecracks and other moments of levity really make you feel like you're in control of a huge Summer blockbuster.  Seriously, even the tutorial segment is intense.

We normally don't cover track pack releases for music games on here, mostly because they come too frequently and in too small of chunks.  We're going to make an exception though for The Beatles, because, well they ARE The Beatles and because it's not your ordinary track pack.

When promoting a video game to young men, nothing grabs their attention like porn stars. In the short advertisement for the four player co-op Fairytale Fights, there's even something for the ladies, namely Ron Jeremy.  I kid...I kid.

AI War, the co-op RTS/4x title from Arcen Games, LLC, has been out for some time now, but the game is about to hit a major milestone this Wednesday.  Not only will the game hit version 2.0, which will include new features and a few bug fixes, but it will also be available on Steam with 129 Steam achievements and online leaderboards.  We chatted with Christopher Park, CEO, Lead Programmer, and Lead Designer for Arcen, about this unique co-op game, how the taking on the AI with a group can be more satisfying than going alone, and the power of co-op gaming.
