Silent Hill: Book of Memories may be the black sheep in the series.  Silent Hill is known as an intense horror franchise full of disturbing images.  Book of Memories will be *gasp* a top down shooter?.  I guess that's one way to get co-op into an IP.  Check out the gallery to see some of the intriguing locales you'll be running and gunning through.  That just doesn't sound right in a Silent Hill game.  It looks like we'll be visiting brownish hell, reddish hell, and bluish hell in this adventure.  We'll see how it all works out early next year.

It's almost the biggest shopping day in America, Black Friday, but Walmart has jumped on the bandwagon early with a killer co-op friendly bundle on the PlayStation 3.  For only $199 you'll get a 160GB PlayStation 3 Slim, a copy of the co-op games Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One and LittleBigPlanet 2.  Also included is 30 days of PlayStation Plus a controller and an HDMI cable.

Have you checked out the demo for Rayman Origins?  Did you know it supports four player local co-op?  I just  signed in three other controllers and gave it a whirl, and it appears to be a worthy co-op platformer.  I'll have to try again with three other people.  A one-year-old and two pugs do not make good co-op partners.  Check out this video and see all the different ways you can beat the game.  You can expect our Co-Op Review soon.

Sesame Street: Once Upon A Monster is getting some out-of-this-world DLC.  The Unidentified Furry Objects  pack will be out on the Xbox LIVE marketplace tomorrow.  Cookie Monster, Grover, Elmo, and the gang spot a light in the night sky and are soon visited by new furry friends.  You can check them out in the attached gallery.  Expect more of the great local co-op gameplay that earned the kid-friendly title a 4.5 out of 5 in our Co-Op Review.

Just when I though I was done with this season's multiple co-op release weeks, they pull me back in.  This week we have a dancing game, an over-the-top shooter, and a wrasslin' title.  I trust you can figure out which is which.

Good Co-Op, Bad Co-Op - a tale of two friends who love playing games together.  The man who gives the best upsidedown hugs, Sunflower4000 and the love wizard Locke have put their differences aside and teamed up cooperatively in a battle against fate.  

As mentioned in our List of Black Friday Co-op Deals, Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure will be on sale at Kmart and Hastings for $49.99 this Friday.

Thankfully Amazon has come to the rescue, offering Skylanders at the same price all week long. But that's not all...

We've all heard it before - "Couch co-op gaming is dying." Most of us simply shake our head and nod in agreement, but perhaps it's not doing quite as bad as we previously thought. Today we bring you an editorial that focuses on the myth and explores some avenues around it. We also explore the benefits of couch and online co-op as they compare to each other.

Blizzard is giving away beta keys to Diablo 3 every Monday on the game's official Facebook page.  Entering is as simple clicking a button and each week they'll be drawing 200 winners.  Every fourth winner will receive two keys - one for you and one so you can co-op with a friend.  

The line between toys and computer games has been well and truly blurred with the arrival of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure.  There are loads of the little heroes to buy in toy stores.  To add to the woes of compulsive collectors everywhere, Activision have gone and released a limited number of rare silver Skylanders into the wild - can you find one?

This past week marks the tenth anniversary of the release of two co-op consoles. On November 15, 2001, Microsoft entered the video game hardware market with the original Xbox.

They both brought new innovations to our favorite aspect of video gaming: cooperative play. This week, we'll cover the first of these systems, the Xbox.
