Ok, we admit Aliens: Colonial Marines is one of the biggest failures in gaming we can remember in recent history.

Killing Floor's annual Summer Side Show is in full effect.The FPS zombie thrasher has been well supported by developer Tripwire Interactive for years, and this summer is no different. The free to play event actually started up last Wednesday, but most of the Co-Optimus crew was knee deep in pre-July 4th frivolity by the time we got the news. Exploding skies and what not. We've got some killer new screens and a juicy new video with all the details.
We last saw Mercenary Kings inside Sony's PlayStation booth at E3 2013. The Kickstarted game piqued our interest earlier in the year, but getting hands on with the actual game enticed us even further. The game combines elements of Metal Slug style games with that of Metroidvania to make for an addictive 4 player co-op title.

It's summer again. America just got another year older, and in many parts of the US, it is too hot to play outside.

Beginning on August 7th, the Summer of Arcade for this year will feature four titles. A few of these titles will feature co-op as well.
Hello friends! You may have noticed the fancy new site. I'm still trying to get used to it, myself.

What co-op games are coming out this week? None, really, but let's make due with what we have.
The hot days of summer are usually pretty good to MMO players as many MMOs launch content updates during this time. In the past few years this is also a time when many subscription MMOs decide to switch to a F2P mode. This summer looks to be no exception with RIFT going F2P and Guild Wars 2 rolling out quite a few content updates. To cap things off...
A new cube-based challenger has appeared! Cube World recently launched its alpha version, bringing a much more focused RPG design to the ever-expanding genre of games built with cubes. If you're worried this is some sort of Minecraft clone, we're pleased to say that couldn't be further from the truth.
Civilization should be a staple of any PC gamer's diet. And with recent flavors of the game on console and mobile platforms, perhaps the franchise created by renowned designer Sid Meier should be on every gamer's menu. Civilization V is the latest game in the franchise and previously has received one expansion pack which added core gameplay...
As you can see, things look a little different around here. After six years Co-Optimus was beginning to show its age.
