The Behemoth's games are certainly known for their rather unique sense of humor, solid gameplay, and fun co-operative action. BattleBlock Theater, the developer's latest and greatest, matches all three of those descriptors by placing you and your friends in the shoes of shipwrecked prisoners that are forced to perform in a kind of theater in order to gain their freedom. The prisoners and gameplay have been highlighted in a series of videos, and the latest shows off Prisoner #10304 and his fondness for things that go boom.

The first Portal 2 downloadable content, ‘Peer Review,’ added a new challenge mode and co-op levels. Valve has just announced a second DLC that doesn’t seem to include new levels, per se. Instead, it will bring a full-on in-game level editor. The thought of cooperatively designing levels with a partner is certainly enticing.

It's amazing what a little time can do to your perspective of things. When I founded Co-Optimus a game like Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster wouldn’t have even been on my radar - I was a man that cared more about the next Halo then I did about the next casual or kids title. But now as the father of a two and a half year old girl, Once Upon a Monster instantly appealed to me as a way to entertain her and enjoy something with her, without having to watch another episode of The Fresh Beat Band.

Did you stay up to the wee hours of the morning waiting to unlock Battlefield 3?  If not, now is a good time to remind you that you'll want to update your graphics drivers on your PC for the game.  Both AMD and NVIDIA have released optimized versions of their drivers for DICE's Frostbite 2 engine.  I put a solid 3 hours into the campaign last night on my PC armed with a GeForce GTX 580 on all Ultra settings and the latest drivers.  The game is drop dead gorgeous for sure and makes serious use of lighting effects with some really slick texture details.

Playing Mario Kart Wii with my nephews is always fun as I bring out the mini wheels that came with the game, but what happens when they leave and I want to use a wheel with my 360 games?  The new 360 Wireless Speed Wheel, is what happens.

Full disclosure: I am not a Blizzard fanboy.  There, I said it.  Wait, don't freak out!  I'm not a Blizzard hater, either.  I've played through Diablo and some of the sequel.  I dabbled in WarCraft before there was a "World of."  I Zerg rushed with the worst of them in StarCraft.  I did all of that and more - a decade ago.  I have never owned a gaming PC, ever.  I mooched accessed Blizzard titles through a steady stream of college friends and roommates back in the late 90's and early 00's.  Once I moved on I never looked back.  Somehow, I found myself at Blizzcon 2011 last Friday.  There were sights, there were sounds, there were many announcements, and not so much as a whisper of StarCraft: Ghost.

Not to be outdone by the numerous survival, fire fight, and horde modes that have been creeping their way into every shooter, ever, Saints Row: The Third introduces "Whored Mode."  It's a horde mode with whores!  I feel an Xzibit moment coming on.  It's not limited to whores and giant sex toys (But do you really need anything else?).  

So many games...  so little time.  We don't know what to do with ourselves!  This gaming season's military FPS war begins with Battlefield 3 firing the first rounds tomorrow.  A host of other games of varying genres are joining the fray, each looking for a piece of that substantial holiday pie.  What will you be playing?

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.  

The fall hunting season is in effect here in Texas. Bow hunters litter the temperate wilderness of the Lone Star State every weekend, and come November the rifle shooters will join them. It’s an exciting time of the year for yours truly, a novice deer hunter. But until the season officially starts there are precious few ways to hold back the buck fever. Can Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2012 fill the void? It's a long shot, but that's why we have a big scope.

What could quite possibly be Drake's biggest adventure yet is a mere week away. That's right, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception hits store shelves next Tuesday, November 1 and I for one can't wait to see what's up with that smoking plane in the background. Developer Naughty Dog has brought out out the big guns in anticipation of the game's release, and we're not just talking about another launch trailer...

It's been more than two years since a new MechWarrior game was announced.  Now it seems details are about to resurface for the Piranha games developed reboot of the classic PC series.  Over the past few days a new twitter account has gone live; the Inner Sphere News is currently tweeting "encoded" pieces of a larger image of a some form of Mech.
