It’s the start of a new season of CO-OP, and it’s the same– but that’s not a bad thing. New Super Mario Bros.Wii starts things off and the guys are excited about its multiplayer prospects. They may be going a little far by saying that it is like Super Mario Bros. 4 though.
Matt takes over the 2nd segment with a trip to the office of Gaijin Games to interview the indie developer about their forthcoming WiiWare game, Bit.Trip Void. While the game probably isn’t on many people’s radar, it is cool to see an indie developer’s workspace like this. This kind of segment is one of CO-OP’s biggest strengths.
Uncharted 2 takes up the most time with Matt and Ryan gushing about it while Anthony is weirdly quiet. It appeared that they may have been try to make a statement about the reception of his GameSpy review with his silence, but just when you think he is not going to say anything during the whole segment, he chimes in.
The narrative has the Area5 crew visiting a classic coin-op arcade this week. It’s an interesting peek at what games used to be.
It’s our season 03 premiere! In our longest segment on a game yet, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves takes the spotlight this week. We also stop by indie developer Gaijin Games to grab a look at what makes an indie studio tick and to get a sneak peak at Bit.Trip Void. Also, of course, we had to share the quickie got with New Super Mario Bros. Wii!

Cool episode, but way too much Uncharted 2 spoilers.
