The denizens of Co-Optimus Towers love a challenge as much as we love co-op.  Therefore, when FORCED was released on PC we found something that gave us both.  The reward we gave the game was a big juicy 5 out of 5.  Now Xbox One owners can start to get excited as FORCED is coming soon to their platform of choice.

Only one co-op game coming this week, and it's one for RTS fans. While there's a few smaller titles coming over the next month or so, it seems like for the most part, things are quieting down.
