It may be a pretty light fall for big gaming releases, but Microsoft's gigantic franchise is set to get its first true sequel since 2007's Halo 3. Halo 4 launches on November 6th and if you elect to pick up the title to rejoin Master Chief and Cortana, it sounds like you are in for something wildly different yet familiar all the same.
A Capcom executive has announced that official development on the Resident Evil 6 PC version of the game didn’t begin until after the console versions were finally completed. While this might come off as neglectful to PC gamers, Capcom is instead attempting to learn from its past mistakes.
Dance Central 3 is almost upon us. Today we have a new video promoting the game, featuring several accolades. As I watch this video I realize what I'm doing wrong. I need more kickin' clothes. I've been dancing in front of my TV the whole time in shorts and a t-shirt. I look nothing like the characters on screen. I'm so embarrassed.
When Midway went out of business in 2010, their XBLA titles like Gauntlet and Smash TV got pulled - sad times all around. Since then, Warner Brothers rescued the Mortal Kombat franchise with a fantastic retail sequel and the so-so downloadable compilation, Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection. Later this year, Warner Bros. will bring much of the Midway archive back to consoles in a new retail compilation, Midway Arcade Origins. Naturally, it's packed with co-op classics at relatively low price.
The new trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2's cooperative "Zombies" mode offers very little information. There's a bus, creepy music, fire, and some zombies. It looks like the survivors will be armoring a bus, maybe in a similar fashion to 2004's Dawn of the Dead remake, (and countless other zombie flicks). Take a look and let us know what you think.

It's been a long time coming, but Torchlight 2 has finally arrived. Are all those disenfranchised Diablo players going to find themselves a new home, one that has great co-op and a distinct lack of controversy? We think so. Read on and find out why.
The Earth Defense Force series is one of those guilty pleasure type of experiences. These games are very similar to the shlocky 50s B-Movies that surely inspired them; full of sheer ridiculousness on a grand scale. The B-movies never won too many Oscars, and Earth Defense Force games don't get Game of the Year honors often, but that doesn't make them bad. Sometimes you just want to shoot giant bugs for a bit.
Sniping has always been a staple in shooter titles, but it takes a truly special game, such as Sniper Elite V2, to take it to a whole new level, specifically for co-op gamers. After listening to their fans frequent requests for more co-op related content in the game, developer Rebellion is giving them exactly what they want with a specifically designed update solely for co-op gaming!

Keiji Inafune's new cooperative PlayStation Vita title, Soul Sacrifice, will be heading to the US next year. The game was originally set for a winter release in Japan, but has since been pushed back to the spring. At the Tokyo Game Show Inafune said that the game was not technically delayed: they just "need more time" to finish it. Whatever works.
We're still churning through the video footage from PAX 2012, the latest coverage we've unearthed is from the recently announced free to play Action / RPG from Gazillion Entertainment and former Diablo developer David Brevik.
