Major Nelson has posted up this morning that Watchmen will be hitting the XBLA on Wednesday and while I am not a big fan of movie tie in games, this one jumped straight out at me because it lists 2 player co-op as one of it’s redeeming features. But then while I was hunting for the pre-order button I stumbled …

Joystiq has posted up a list of questions and answers for Killzone 2 which has some revealing information that you may or may not know. First up there is still no release date announced for a European and thus South African release. However they are expecting it to be around the same time as the US one (27th February). The …

Lionhead has said that fixing the Abbot bug in Fable II is a “matter of priority”, and that a patch to fix the multiplayer glitch stripping characters of gold and experience will be made available “very soon”. Last Updated: October 27, 2008

Lionhead's long awaited sequel to their Xbox Hit Fable, has finally been released and although the game is scoring very highly, there seems to be a lot of fans and gamers in general that are incredibly displeased with the online co-operative play. A huge ruckus has broken out on the Lionhead forums after one of the fans started the following thread: Jaycen2001 writes: Hey guys, thanks for the quick fix for the online multi co op. you know just taking a dump and selling it as a cool feature is kinda lame. the co op sucks hard in this game. you cant be your own character. and you cant freaken see anything because of the crappy (and I mean super crappy) camera. So, thanks for all the waiting for this cool game with this awesome feature. i hate to tell you but it blows......I dont accept your patch. take it back and give us what you promised. not some cheap knock off. Ouchies. This is how the thread starts and trust me it's all downhill from there. What makes matters worse is that one of the site mods posted a pic of handbags and asked if anyone needs one, which just made the fans even more furious. Most of the issues people are having are with regards to the fact that you can only use a henchman in other peoples games as well as issues with people not being able to take found items over to their game. We will have to wait and see how Lionhead respond.

Lionhead has confirmed that a patch enabling online co-op in Fable II will go live tomorrow, 21st October. And it will be free.That’s according to the Lionhead community blog, which has provided running updates on the multiplayer feature that once looked likely to be missing at launch. Fable II will be released this Friday, and it’s great to know that …

It seems to be a great day for leaked footage of upcoming titles. A video of some co-op footage of Resistance 2 has been uploaded onto Gametrailers by a user named Chnswdchldrn and shows some of the gameplay from the co-operative campaign. As you may or may not know, the co-operative campaign will not be the same as the single player campaign but is sure to give a whole lot of fun to those who enjoy fighting along side their buddies. I am really happy to see that so many companies have listened to gamers and are integrating co-op into their games. The game itself is looking fantastic and the huge multiplayer modes are sure to be a massive hit.

Sorry please excuse my over the top use of exclamation marks in the title but it is rather exciting, Patapon was within the top 5 best games I played on my PSP and I still take it out from time to time. !up reported that during a visit to Sony’s Tokyo office they got a chance to talk with Patapon …

One of the biggest let downs of GTA IV for me was the lack of co-op. It seems Saints Row 2 is out to do everything that GTA didn’t do, and do it well. In another one of their brilliantly controversial videos, they announced full, drop-in / drop-out online co-op which I’m sure will please quite a few people. Saints …
