PlayStation Plus members are once again being treated to a stellar month of perks. Sony's online subscription service is offering up several free games this May. My subscription paid for itself last month, and I'm looking forward to adding to my collection.
Zut alors! It appears that no matter which nation Amazon exists in, they always manage to leak information about forthcoming games. The latest Amazonian culprit is Amazon France. They have revealed that Sony plan to produce a pack containing all three Resistance games on May 16th. Resistance: Fall of Man, Resistance 2 and Resistance 3 all contained co-op modes.
Ever wanted to know what happened to the TimeSplitters series? After waiting years for additional news on the TimeSplitters 4 development, we discovered that the game’s long awaited return might be sooner than we thought.
A new trailer has surfaced for the upcoming third-person shooter, Starhawk. The game's space western vibe is in full effect as we're introduced to "blue gold," the rift energy that drives the fortunes of men like our protagonist, Emmett Graves. This game is really tickling my fun zone. The beta was a blast and the gameplay footage from this trailer looks amazing.
Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor, the Kinect-exclusive followup to Capcom's classic mech simulator, won't be released until June. But gamers now have some incentive to order it straight away, thanks to three retailer-specific preorder bonuses. Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop are all offering unique armor sets with which to deck out your mechs. Capcom has even gone the extra mile to aid players in their purchasing decisions, creating trailers for each armor and explaining their functions.

Pucker up co-op candy lovers. We've got a brand new contest for you today for the recently released game, World Gone Sour. Word on the street is the two player co-op game is pretty solid, maybe even a little gooey - we won't know for sure till Friday when our review goes live - but that doesn't mean we can't share some candy with you today!
The folks at Signal Studios are releasing not one, but two DLC packs for the action/tower defense game Toy Soldiers: Cold War. It's a game we scored quite well calling it an "absolute blast" as we played through almost the entire campaign in a 5 hour couch co-op session. Now after a long wait since the last DLC, we're finally getting some new content to dig our little plastic soldiers into.
We've been keeping tabs on Grim Dawn for quite some time now. The open-world Action/RPG is being developed by Crate Entertainment, which itself is made up of former members of Iron Lore. That's the team that brought us 2006's spectacular Titan Quest.
There is something quite Stat-tacular when a game series reaches a certain maturity. The Halo franchise recently created an infographic showing how many times the game has been played over the years and now it is the turn of the Uncharted series. The franchise has been co-op since the second game and with over 15 million games sold, let’s hope for more. Check out the gallery for the full size image and bask in the history of Nathan Drake and the fact you have all been playing the games for more than 2500 years.
Details are still scarce about Ska Studios' upcoming Xbox Live Arcade exclusive, Charlie Murder. We know it's a four player beat-em-up with RPG elements, which creator James Silva has coined as a brawl-PG. I'm fond of RPG-eat-em-up, myself. Anyway, the game revolves around the members of a band called Charlie Murder setting out to stop the evil band Gore Quaffer and its monstrous minions from doing bad things. That's still a bit vague, but three new screenshots (plus a brief video from PAX East) give us a better idea of what to expect.
The upcoming Call of Duty sequel, scheduled to be officially announced on May 1 and is most likely going to be the next Black Ops game, might be featuring in a near-future setting instead of a 1970's-1980's one.
