House of the Dead: Overkill - Extended Cut isn't a simple re-release on the PS3.   The Move-enabled title is going to have two additional levels, and one of them will be a new stripper-rific romp called "Naked Terror."  Catchy, I know.  You'll take control of Varla Guns (I just won a bet) and her lady friend, Candy.  You'll blast your way through hordes of mutants in a strip club, a dive bar, and the streets of Bayou City.  The new mutant types include bikers and strippers, naturally.  You can see some new screens after the break.

Catherine is easily one of the strangest games we've ever covered here at Co-Optimus.  It has a story based not on saving the world from aliens or defeating enemy soldiers, but on the intricacies of romance.  The gameplay is an odd blend of platforming and puzzling, and takes place in the protagonist's nightmares.  Top it all off with the Mature rating, anime style, and a crazy deluxe edition including bozer shorts, a pillowcase, and a pizza box.  There has quite literally never been anything like it.

We all loved Borderlands. From countless co-op sessions to adventures with Painted Queens, nearly our entire community came together to tear apart the wasteland of Pandora in search of precious, precious guns. We all knew a sequel was bound to happen, and guess what? It is. In our inboxes this morning came glorious news for the Co-Op Revolution: 

This new video from 343 Industries doesn't have much hard information.  It's so much fluff.  It does have the Halo music going for it, which means fanboys will get a chill.  The Terminals will provide a little backstory for players in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, as well as offer hints of what to expect in Halo 4 .  You can see some intense animated cut scenes, as well as a flaming Spartan.  Out of all the jokes that just entered my mind, not one of them is fit to print here.

The last of the summer colds are making their rounds, but this week in Indie-Ana Co-Op we’re concerned about a different kind of plague: the computer virus kind.

It's been almost two years since Demon's Souls launched in the U.S. Co-Optimus has yet to review it. We fix that. Now.

Though beat-'em-up games are pretty common even these days, they are less frequently seen on PC and Mac. Does the Asskickers kick some ass, or does playing it feel like a kick in the ass? Find out in our co-op review.

Fresh previews of id's shooter/RPG RAGE have hit the internet today - and so far the impressions seem positive.  None of the previews cover the co-op aspect of the game, but they do give you a good idea of what to expect from the title when it's released on October 4th for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

We last saw Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet at PAX East back in March.  Our editor was quite impressed with the title, with a unique art style from Michel Gagne, but only got a glimmer of what the co-op mode would entail.  With the game out tomorrow, the reviews have started to hit the net, and with it details on the cooperative aspect.

Gears of War 3 is out in a little over a month.  Soon we'll be playing through the game's four player co-op campaign with Marcus, Dom and friends kicking some locust butt.  We'll also be able to play through the game's revamped Horde mode, one that adds strategy to the mix along with its normal action. 

That's one bold looking rumor

During E3 2006 I remember a standout video of a game called Eight Days.  The video took place at a desert diner and featured a gang related shootout between two cops and some thugs.  What made it stand out?  A slick cover system, smooth animations, and a some tense action sequences.  Sadly the Sony London developed game was canceled before it saw the light of day.
