Last October, Beatshapers released a twin-stick zombie shooter, #killallzombies, with a bit of a twist. The game had Twitch streaming built into the game that also allowed spectators to affect the game through certain commands in chat, like healing a player or freezing them in place. Initially, the game was a single-player only affair but its has received a recent update that allows a second player to join in the slaughter in a special "Co-Op Mode."
Ever miss the light gun/arcade cabinet shooters of old? The latest game from top3line and Mastiff Games, Reload, looks to try and recapture some of that as it places you and up to three more of your friends at a shooting range with a bevvy of scenarios/modes to play.
With only a (brain) matter of days until release, Zombie Army Trilogy is incoming, but what does the game actually play like? We may have seen a trailer that gave us seven reasons to play this undead shooter, but what about the guts and bolts?
February was a solid month for Co-Op gamers which saw the release of Evolve and Monster Hunter 4. Dying Light's tail end of January release also made it a popular game to watch during this short month. Let's look at some of the popular stories and features around co-op gaming for February, 2015.

One of my favorite games of all time was re-released this week in a glorious remastered version. While Homeworld was never a co-op game, it's a classic space RTS I think everyone can appreciate. The rest of the staff is knee deep in Diablo, Evolve, and Warframe.
The latest batch of DLC for Activision's Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is now available on the PlayStation Network, giving PlayStation 4 and PS3 players their first shot at the Exo Zombies saga.
Question 1: Do you enjoy things that, in the circumstance of monetary transactions, require you to transfer none of your own currency to another party?
There were images that went around recently for Destiny showing off some potential new weapons and locations when the next piece of DLC, House of Wolves, arrives in the next few months. The person responsible for that, reddit user Megamanexe64, has done some more digging and found even more info, including a "Reef Social Space."
Do you like a post-apocalyptic world? Do you like "gladiator" style combat arenas? Do you like... BLOOOOOOOOOOOOD?! No? Oh. Ok, well, maybe check out Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, then? But if you said "YES!" to all of that then maybe you'd be interested Fatshark's upcoming title, Bloodsports.TV. (You can check out Kirby, too, nobody has to know).
Batman rocks, but can the same be said of the rest of the DC universe? Scratch the surface and you start delving into some pretty obscure characters, pretty quickly. LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, takes everyone’s favourite caped crusader and makes him share his universe even more than before with the rest of DC, but is this a good...
