Just in case the four gazillion tracks available for download aren't enough for you, Harmonix is up to something that will bring even more tunes your way. MTV is launching the Rock Band Network later this year. The network is a way for any artist to upload their songs so they can be enjoyed in video game form. How about some details?
CDV has released a fresh batch of screenshots for Serious Sam HD, which comes out on the Xbox Live Arcade and PC this fall. They've also released the box art for the game, which might just be, some of the greatest box art ever created. The co-op friendly game is a remake of the original Serious Sam game which was developed by Croteam.
What would happen if your favorite video game characters decided to pop by your office for some coffee and office hi-jinx? It would probably look something like the video of Salem and Rios, the two lead characters from the co-op game Army of Two, who drop by the EA Montreal Studio offices.
With the recent release of the Gears of War 2 All Fronts Collection, we saw a title update which added numerous cooperative achievements to the game. Not only were there three available for the story based content, but an additional dozen for Horde mode on the new maps. Me, being the gamerpoint loving son-of-a-bitch I am...well I just had to have these.
The best weapon against the onslaught of Ninja Henchmen is a pair of knee high boots and a nice set of cleavage, case in point pictured above. But when you add in a second set with a splash of purple, the ninjas don't stand a chance.
If the recent Left 4 Dead DLC announcement has renewed your interest in the co-op game on the PC, you might want to squeeze in as much playtime as you can tonight. Tomorrow night, Thursday August 6th, Steam will undergo maintenance at 6PM Pacific.
As I can reasonably attest, Video games and tornados are a surprisingly decent match. Konami must have caught on somewhere along the line, taking the once named Zephyr and renaming it Tornado Outbreak to better illustrate the point of the game. In Tornado Outbreak you'll have two leader characters to choose from, loyally backed-up by their band of Wind Warriors.
Don't breathe that sigh of relief just yet, Survivor...your helo ride from the roof of the Mercy Hospital isn't the ticket to safety you thought it was.
Indiana Jones is one of my all-time favorite action and adventure franchises, and I am not alone in that sentiment. Unfortunately, even the greatest sagas have some lame chapters. Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings embraces the Nintendo Wii's motion controls and attempts to create an enjoyable niche for Indy fans. Does it succeed as a unique and fun adventure title deserving of the titular character, or does it fall in as a lame chapter to possibly the most famous fedora-donning hero ever?
"So.. like.. we just got this press release, y'know, and like... it just about BLEW our MINDS! Like, totally. Taylor Swift is going to be in Band Hero, and I think I'm like.. gonna faint!

Check out the web site it's SO PRETTY oh wow... like... I wish I had her hair, y'know?"
We've got two co-op releases this week, both based on classic 1980's franchises.
We showed you how much we love splodin in our recent review of the crazy co-op platformer Splosion Man. We loved it so much we needed to chat with Twisted Pixels Owner and CCO, Josh Bear, about the game, the co-op, and more importantly - the beef.
