What's up modders?  I'm sure you've been busy tinkering with code for the lols, especially with all of the great games coming out.  Trendy Entertainment has some new toys for you.  You can get your hands on the Dungeon Defenders Development Kit free off of Steam right here.  You'll have access to the game's complete source code, which means something about a bomb on a train, if I'm to believe Hollywood.  If you want, you can participate in the Pre-Alpha Capture the Flag mode while you're at it.  There's a nice video explaining it all after the break.  As an added bonus, take a gander at the First Person mode sample video.

While Xbox Live Arcade is crawling with twin-stick shooters, nothing like Fusion: Genesis has been attempted before. Equal parts RPG and shooter, Fusion: Genesis aims to squeeze a massively multiplayer online experience into an affordable Xbox Live Arcade title. Sit back and dive into our complete examination of the game’s cooperative experience.

Today we're proud to announce that the Co-Optimus site mascots of Billy, Player 1 Bot and Player 2 Bot are all going to be featured in the upcoming 4 player co-op game, Shoot Many Robots.  With a title like Shoot Many Robots you may fear for the life of our co-op buddies, but don't worry folks - Billy and Friends aren't going to be the target of P. Walter Tugnut's machine gun fire.  Instead they'll be firmly strapped to his back as a bonus item to help in anyway they can.

Today we have even more details concerning Mass Effect 3's upcoming co-op mode.  The information comes from an interview with ME3 producer Jesse Houston on the BioWare Blog.   Highlights include skill level matchmaking, more weapon and armor customization, and co-op specific Trophies and Achievements.  The major lowlight is the lack of  local co-op play, for now.  You can see a full list of details after the break.

It's been a busy fall with hot new releases for the co-op and single player enthusiast alike. During this time, then, it seemed like a good opportunity to do a little look back at some of the great indie titles that are out there to enjoy as well!

Well hello there scary barbarian guy with flaming swords and a skull face.  I'd like you to meet my friends The Knight, The Wizard and The Thief as they co-op your butt right off that ledge in Trine 2.

Resistance 3 has been patched to version 1.05, which means the next time you fire up the game you'll be waiting for yet another download on your PS3.  Still, with the patch comes several fixes for all aspects of the game including single player, multiplayer and of course co-op.  The biggest fix is to one that could potentially spoil campaign progression for a guest player in co-op.  

The latest Serious Sam 3: BFE video is not messing around.  Croteam knows that Sam fans want blood and guts, and this trailer gives it to us by the truckload.  There's so much juice flying around I'm beginning to wonder if the bad guys even have bones, or if they're just animated ziploc bags brimming over with red sauce.  Seriously, there's a crap ton of blood in this video.  Sam truly is the Jackson Pollock of bloodletting.  Keep a keen eye out as your senses are assaulted by death metal and gore and you may just see a quote from your favorite co-op gaming site.

Have you still not picked up Saints Row: The Third?  Are you allergic to awesome?  I know, I know.  A lot of killer games came out recently.  When you get sick of playing "soldier" with children, or finally get tired of roaming a mostly empty, buggy mess while screaming dragon gibberish like a demented crazy person, strap on a man's game and let your freak flag fly.  

Hey guys, remember Brink?  I sure do.  It's a heck of a squad shooter, when it's working properly.  It's been six months since the game's release and most of the bugs have been ironed out.  Splash Damage is moving forward with more multiplayer support.  A new title update will include clans, tournaments, and a global rankings ladder.  Most of these added features apply to the multiplayer versus mode, but I'm sure you and your buddies could form a clan and still play co-op matches.

Halo: Combat Evolved was the game that sold the Xbox. Ten years have gone by and Halo has made its mark on console gaming by becoming an absolute juggernaut in the market and a series worth billions of dollars. So it should come as no surprise that the game that started it all has already been remade in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. We dive into the remastered game, its co-op and multiplayer, and come out with only a few plasma burns to show.

If there's one problem with today's aircraft it's that they aren't colorful enough.  Why fly the skies in a camoflaugh or silver covered aircraft that people have a hard time seeing?  You want to be bright, colorful and gaudy as possible so those bogies see you coming a mile away.  That way - they know you mean business.
