Coordinate your Co-op/multiplayer gaming here! Plus geek outs over the latest trailer/release/DLC/rediscovered favorites, and other nifty things.

To avoid confusion, I recommend basing time off of when Sluggy updates. Saying "Three hours before Sluggy updates." leaves very little room for misinterpretation, and makes it easier to translate it into whatever local time you may happen to go by.

I may be up for playing fighting games... having pretty much anything you can name for PS3. Soul Calibur V is probably my favorite to play online though - the online service is fantastic compared to pretty much anything else I've played.

Otherwise. Currently playing through Kingdoms of Amalur and Final Fantasy XIII-2. Waiting on Mass Effect 3 and Street Fighter X Tekken to come out.

Waiting on the Mass Effect 3 Collector's Edition for the Xbox 360, can't wait!

I'm also up for a game of Halo: Reach, anytime.

What console? because I think we only have it for the Xbox 360, and I don't know about cross-platform compatibility.

GH, my gamertag is Balthazar Black.

Currently experiencing a nerdgasm after reading the description of AI War: Fleet Command.

Real time strategy/4x/tower defense hybrid about the final war against the machine overlords? Check.

Has three expansions with hundreds of different kinds of ships and weird superweapons? Check.

The game itself has an AI based on adaptive genetic algorithms which is mentioned in multiple reviews and message boards as being extremely smart? Check!

Semi 2-d with hand drawn sprites? Check.

Game has good reviews? Check.


I think I'm going to get it and give it a try.

Cool, my gamertag is Galaxyhunter117 (I made it when Halo 3 was the next big thing, and it just kinda stuck) unfortunately I don't have access to an Xbox at the moment. However I will after my Birthday in March, when I'm going to buy myself a new one, yay!

Oh, here are some more online games I'll be able to play when I get my 'box:

Xbox 360:
Halo: Reach
Left 4 Dead 2
Mass Effect 3 - When it comes out. (it has multiplayer, I can't believe it)
Modern Warfare 2

Computer:
Starcraft 2

I'm sporadically up for some MarioKart (Wii) or some Saints Row 2 (360) I'll swap gamer info if anyone's interested.

I've just bought From Dust for 360 arcade. It's very pretty and a really fun strategy game.

Also, if there is anyone who hasn't played Limbo yet then you are missing out. On a lesser note Braid

On for the Wii Lost Winds part 1 and 2 from Wii Ware.

These three are wonderful 2D platformers

I already stopped. It reminded me why I stopped playing World of Warcraft too much.

I've got sucked into playing Tribes Ascend open beta... gah. I played the heck out of Tribes 2, and this definitely has the same gameplay with new stuff.

I played Starsiege Tribes, Tribes 2, and Tribes Vengeance which actually had a pretty decent singleplayer for a series focused almost exclusively on multiplayer. I'd say I'm looking forward to the new game but my laptop sucks so I'm not sure if I'll be able to play it.
