All sorts of pre-E3 information is rolling out all over the internet, and we've got some information about the Guitar Hero franchise for you.

You won't just drive, you'll speed to get the latest Burnout ParadiseDLC on June 11th! We in the co-op business tend to appreciate large scale co-op, and Burnout Paradise fits the bill. For those unaware, Burnout Paradiseis one of our favorite co-op games to recommend, with free add-ons or tons of DLC to keep you racing, crashing, spinning, and flipping through the streets of Paradise City. Big Surf Island is the latest DLC pack, andThe Burnout team at Criterion Games is as excited about this stuff as we are!  

Upon pressing play for the new Dead Space Extraction trailer, I was greeted with some gentle guitar riffs.  Right away I knew this trailer was going to be all kinds of awesome.  Why?  Those were no ordinary guitar riffs, oh no, that was the gentle rocking song of Mogwai.

For Co-Op Casual Friday this week, we take a look at one of the most beloved kids' franchises of all time.  The TV show has been running for a decade and a half, and the toy line is one of the all time best sellers.  Mixing martial arts, colorful costumes, crazy weapons, and my favorite, giant robots, Power Rangers is a lot of fun.  Power Rangers video games have ranged from okay to terrible, but the most recent title, released for the PS2, Power Rangers Super Legends, is easily the best. The real draw for Power Rangers Super Legends is the fact that it includes dozens of different characters pulled from all the various teams.  It is the Power Rangers equivalent of a Justice League/Avengers crossover.  From the original Red and Pink Rangers to the current (at the time) Operation Overdrive squad, most fan favorites are here.  My personal pick, the SPD Shadow Ranger (who is a dog headed alien!), appears, but the most popular Ranger ever, Tommy, is notably absent.  Many of the gigantic mechanized Megazords from the shows appear as well.  Fans of the show will find plenty to love here.

 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand was one of those games a lot of folks overlooked, not because it didn't look fun, but because it may have just been too much for the money.  Thankfully Amazon comes to the rescue - today only - they have the Xbox 360 version of the game for $39.98! 

Epic has announced that Unreal Tournament 3 Black will be available for free this weekend on Steam.  Unreal Tournament 3 Black is the full version of UT3 along with the free Titan pack.  In total you have enhancements which include new maps and environments, the Titan mutator, the Greed and Betrayal gametypes, the Stealthbender vehicle, weapons, deployables, and characters.  The game also provides 50 Steamworks Achievements. 

One week before E3, and we're already catching shiny new trailers poking their heads out at us. What could possibly be more shiny than an early peek at White Knight Chronicles? This PS3 exclusive trailer was leaked early, hopefully meaning Sony has a few tasty tricks up its sleeve for the official presentation at E3. Some delicious details on Co-op perhaps? Maybe a hands-on demonstration to get some legitimate previews out there to read?

A lot of co-op PC gaming is not only done online, but at LAN parties.  If you've never experienced one of these Mountain Dew laden events, well do yourself a favor and find a local one.  Of course it's not easy lugging your desktop PC across down for a little multiplayer gaming, so the best thing to do is find yourself a slick gaming laptop.

Gametrailers.tv is continuing their exclusive E3 coverage, this time unleashing a brand new trailer for the four player co-op Lost Planet 2.  The trailer is entirely focused on the squad based combat of the game, and it looks to have a little something for every co-op player.

Gametrailers.com unleashed their E3 coverage on the world last night with tons of exclusives.  Among them was the first trailer for DJ Hero, the first game from Activision to branch out from the Guitar Hero brand.  In it players use a turntable style peripheral to mix and and remix over 80 songs together.  

...which is good, since you'll have both hands wrapped around your PSP. Sony has confirmed today that SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3 will feature 70 weapons with 5 attachment slots each, all of them useable in the nine-mission single-player campaign and the extensive multiplayer mode.

Relic games seems to be enjoying themselves happily nested in the realm of Games Workshops Warhammer, and we're happy to see another beautiful game shaping up after being wowed by Dawn of War 2. Warhammer 40k: Space Marines is their newest project, and by the looks of things, we won't be disappointed. The teaser trailer we have to share showed scenes of fast paced mayhem featuring a "squad" of Space Marines. IGN speculates on what this could mean for the wonderful world of co-op.
