Who is ready to delve back into the stark naked nightmares of a terrified child masochist?! The maniacs behind The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth revealed some fairly compelling reasons why you should stop playing that filthy, filthy first edition and embrace the remake. Not that the remake is any less filthy. In fact, given the higher resolution and vast additional content, it's probably a lot filthier.
If you stumbled by the ID@Xbox booth in Microsoft's section of E3 this year, you might have gotten a pixelated eyeful of Gunscape. You might have thought it was Minecraft running on an Xbox One, or Doom, which had somehow been sucked through a time vortex into modern day. It might surprise you, then, that Gunscape is a terribly ambitious project spearheaded by those crazy theorists down at Blowfish Studios.
A brand new DLC is hitting Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare tomorrow, known as the "Tactical Taco Party Pack"! Co-op players will be glad to hear that Garden Ops will also be getting some new content to keep the zombie waves at bay. Going live tomorrow, July 1st, on Xbox One and Xbox 360, the "Tactical Taco Party Pack" w...
E3 was this month, as if you couldn't tell by the lot of top stories that are featured below, so there's lots of good content you may have missed during an extremely busy E3. So please have a look below and check out some of the interesting stories about co-op video games you might have missed for the month of June, 2014.

Saints Row IV: National Treasure Edition is on its way July 8th for $30. National Treasure Edition comes with all 29 DLC packs those fools put out.

It's been a long time since I've played a Tropico game, in fact, it might be since the first game in the series. The Tropico games have always been about building up and managing an island in the caribbean, with all the tasks and risks you'd expect for the situation. The thing I remember the most from the original was the ability to nam...
Every once in a while, a game will materialize into existence solely to remind you of a genre you thought had been dead for years. For example, Blue Estate, a rail-shooter, just released on the Playstation 4. That's right! A rail-shooter. I harbor no ill will against the genre, but discovering they are still being made is like finding out your neighbor just bought a new brontosaurus.
It's a surprisingly busy week for early July with a handful of co-op games coming out. It's a good way for you to escape the summer heat, by staying indoors and cooling off with some couch co-op games. It's almost as refreshing as the pool, and likely, less wet too!
Released this month for OUYA, Double Dragon Trilogy includes the three installments in the classic 1980s beat-em-up franchise. For $2.99, you'll get Double Dragon, Double Dragon 2: The Revenge, and Double Dragon 3: The Rosetta Stone - that's about a buck per game.
The Steam sales continue on, and our wallets continue to empty while our hard drives are filling up.
And with this post, E3 2014 has finally come to a close for Co-Optimus. Two weeks after the show ended we're finally done writing, editing, and talking about all the great games we saw in Los Angeles this year. We've put out over 20 videos with exclusive interviews with developers and hands on impressions with games. We've written over 30 hands on previews of the co-op titles we saw at the show and we've posted countless other announcements and media for your pleasure.
A lot of our interviews at E3 were informative and engaging. We chatted with developers, producers, artists and more about games they were extremely passionate about being a part of. Then there was the folks from Free Lives. Not only were these folks passionate about the game they were creating, Broforce, they were fun, relaxed, and ready to rock and roll. We went into that trailer tired from E3, we left it ready to battle for America.
