I'd say this news was hot off the presses, but I'm not sure that particular bit of hyperbole is relevant any more; perhaps "only just recently sent through hamster-powered interweb tubes into our inbox" would be more appropriate?  Perhaps not.  In any event, we just got word of a brand new downloadable title coming from the fine folks over at SEGA.  Titled Renegade Ops, the game is described as a military co-op shooter.  That right there is enough to get our teamwork glands salivating.

Dungeon Defenders: First Wave, the four player co-op RPG/Tower Defense game for mobile devices has some excellent news today.  

Do you remember Titan Quest?  Did you like Titan Quest?  Of course you did.  The makers of Titan Quest went on to form Crate Entertainment, and that development studio has been hard at work on a title called Grim Dawn.  We have a new video of the game in action.  It looks very Diablo-esque.  Grim Dawn can be viewed as a spiritual successor to Titan Quest.  The game is still in its early stages, but the combat footage looks promising, if bloody chunks are your thing.  No word on how co-op will be supported, but the game's website at least acknowledges co-operative play:

With all the news about Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, you may have forgotten about another, smaller, 3D-ier Resident Evil.  Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D is coming to the Nintendo 3DS, and this latest trailer looks amazing.  The minute long clip features Jill and Wesker, and the graphics are truly impressive (maybe a little too impressive).

Good news for all you technophiles out there.  That expensive TV will be getting more use this September.  Resistance 3 will support stereoscopic 3DTVs.  According to PlayStation.Blog, "overwhelming community demand" was the cause.  Okay, community, start demanding split-screen with online co-op for all games, please.  There's even more good news for those of you who like playing with plastic guns.  Resistance 3 will support the PlayStation Move and the Sharp Shooter peripheral.  

Techland says they'd like to provide a co-op demo for Call of Juarez: The Cartel. That's always good news to hear, and brand manager Blazej Krakowiak seems to have his heart set on it.

It was only days ago we got our first details of the next Resident Evil game from Capcom.  Called Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, the game is a more action oriented shooter by developer Slant 6.  Thrusting co-op players into the role of the Umbrella Security Service, they'll be tasked not only with dealing with the undead, but also opposing forces.

We just got a new trailer showcasing more gameplay footage from Battlefield 3.  The video is clearly taken from the PC version of the game (notice the mouse prompts) - and is just as impressive as the last few videos we've seen.

Co-op puzzle games aren’t something you’d consider a huge time investment with your friends. At least that’s what I thought before I played Slam Bolt Scrappers. Will you be impressed by the co-op in this puzzler, or become bored with your friends?

With fedora secure and bullwhip held high, brave Indie-Ana Billy ventures forth into the depths of the XBLIG offerings to offer you two excellent co-op titles that will only set you back a humble Washington each: Abaddon: Retribution and The Hearts of Men

Time for a little Arcade Four-Play.  Four player competitive and co-operative games make up the roster for this week's Xbox LIVE Arcade Deal of the Week. A World of Keflings offers co-op play for two players locally and four players online.  We liked the world-building adventure game, giving it a 4 out of 5 in our Co-Op Review. You can pick it up right now for only 400 Microsoft Points, or five dollars.  That's 50% off the normal 800 MSP price point, or half off, for those of you who simply hate math.

Microsoft is looking for a few willing participants for their new Xbox 360 System Update Preview.  By "a few" they mean "multiple thousands," so you actually have a decent chance of making it in.  Basically, participants will be previewing updated Xbox 360 Dashboard features.  You can see all the details over at Major Nelson's blog, or you can go straight to the sign-up via this link.  Participants will receive a copy of Halo: Reach for their troubles, as well as "other possible rewards."
