To start off the show this week, Cesar and Matt discuss their time at the Nintendo press summit from last week. They both seem very excited about WarioWare D.I.Y. The game seems to have a very unique take on the old mini-game collection formula, letting you created and “ship” your own mini-games inside of a [...]

CO-OP Live 303: Sooo Indie!
February 24th, 2010
Another live show and the Area5 team keeps on improving week after week. First on the docket on this (mostly) indie game episode is the recently released The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom on XBLA. Like most of the game industry, CO-OP has nothing but praise for this game and Ryan plays some of it live [...]
CO-OP Live: Bioshock 2 and X10 Previews
February 17th, 2010
Week 2 of the live show brings a few changes as Area5 settles in to their new format. The packed couch is gone, replaced with individual chairs which still doesn’t feel quite right. Jay and Matt are up first to discuss Bioshock 2 while Ryan sifts through twitter questions to be asked at the latter [...]
CO-OP Live: Testing 1,2…
February 12th, 2010
It’s the very first episode of CO-OP Live and seeing the guys on a set every week is going to take some getting used to. To ease in, they structure this episode much like previous CO-OP episodes but with pre-recorded video and a script to match it up with. Mass Effect 2 is the topic [...]
CO-OP — Episode 315: Reflections 2009 Part 2
January 26th, 2010
This week picks up right where last week left off, with more discussion on favorite games of 2009. For those who didn’t tune in last week, the CO-OP guys have assembled a group of some of their more regular guests for this discussion. Downloadable titles are first focus of conversation, with David Ellis mentioning that [...]
CO-OP — Episode 314: Reflections 2009 Part 1
January 19th, 2010
It may be well into the new year, but the guys at Area5 haven’t forgotten about 2009 just yet. This week they lapse from their normal formula and head back to the format of the very first episode of CO-OP, a bunch of friends sitting around talking about their favorite games of the year. After [...]
CO-OP — Episode 313: Time Capsule
January 12th, 2010
After a couple of weeks off, CO-OP is back in regular form this week, albeit with only two games. First up is Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes, a strange puzzle/strategy RPG for the DS. Ryan, Jay, and Cesar all seem very high on the game, praising it for having a large amount of options [...]
CO-OP – Episode 310: Android vs. iPhone. Fight!
December 22nd, 2009
Little Big Planet for PSP is up first this week with Ryan and Matt pouring the love on pretty thick. At the very least, it look like the PSP version compromises little to get the PS3 experience in your hand. The CO-OP team was also represented at the recent Mass Effect 2 preview event, and [...]
CO-OP – Episode 309: Santa Cruzin’
December 15th, 2009
The 1st game up this week is The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks and everyone is positive on it. Ryan felt like the train over-world section was monotonous, but the main dungeon that you constantly return to is ever-evolving and fun. PixelJunk Shooter is up next and despite its short length, it offers a fun, [...]
CO-OP – Episode 308: Go Outside and Play
December 8th, 2009
It is a light week of games with only 2 titles on the show. Things kick-off with Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines for PSP. Ryan and Matt are discussing the game and it sounds like it is really only for die-hard fans of the series. The PSP just can’t quite handle a game of this scope. Tony [...]
CO-OP – Episode 307: The Jason Show 2: Outtake Boogaloo
December 1st, 2009
As announced last week, this week’s episode is an interim entry as the guys are on vacation. Jason is heading things up for the second time with his self-title show, but his segments are kept more minimal than they were the first time around. There is 1 regular game segment this week in New Super [...]
CO-OP – Episode 306: Assassin’s Creed 2 Review Special
November 24th, 2009
This week is completely dedicated to Assassin’s Creed 2, so you know that this is a huge release. The first entry in the series was a break-out success in sales, but is remembered as a game that just didn’t deliver on its promises. Things are certainly better this time around with Ryan calling it “One [...]
CO-OP – Episode 305: We’re Oscar Mike
November 17th, 2009
Dragon Age: Origins is up first this week and Demian Linn and Jason Wilson of Bitmob and joining the love-fest. The characterization, and story to a lesser extent, are the big draws here. It does sound like the PC version is definitely the way to go with the interface hampering enjoyment somewhat in the console [...]
CO-OP – Episode 304: 3D or not 3D
November 10th, 2009
The Ballad of Gay Tony starts this week’s episode. Tyler Barber is standing-in and giving his perspective on the latest and last GTAIV expansion. It looks like there are enough new things in the game to make it worth checking out, but this feels like one of those times when CO-OP may be a little [...]
Mobcast 54: CO-OP on Co-op
May 18th, 2010
Ryan O’Donnell and Cesar Quintero of Area 5 media, producers of CO-OP, are hosted by Bitmobbers Demian and Brett. Appropriately, the theme for this episode is co-operative gaming and Demian starts with his topic — games the panel only plays co-operatively. Some games are just better when you have friends there with you, like Phantasy Star Online, [...]
