Destructoid: "If you paid attention to all the X10 news that broke out yesterday, you'd notice Left 4 Dead (both of them!) is receiving all sorts of new updates. Between a comic book, an awesome-sounding return to the original game with new downloadable content, and "The Passing" for Left 4 Dead 2, there is a ton of Left 4 Dead content coming out by April.
From all of my talking with Valve representatives, expect Left 4 Dead to live on in this manner, with DLC and patches. I can confirm that Left 4 Dead 3 will not be announced at all this year, for which fans of online petitions are surely disappointed. Anyhow, I was a lucky enough duck to play through the second chapter of Left 4 Dead 2 DLC "The Passing," called "Underground." It's a dark area, and while I didn't see the return of the old crew, I got some nice hands on with what we can expect next month."
Sometimes, we want to face the end of the world, and prevail. Perhaps it’s zombies, aliens or other people. There were a few excellent titles in the “Apocalypse” genre over the past couple of years. Bigger and smaller titles which might catch your attention. Perhaps you just want to try something different, or maybe you want to go mutant camping, without having to find real mutants yourself? Whichever the case, read on.
Great coop campaigns feature thoughtful narratives that support camaraderie and provide the experience of accomplishing objectives through teamwork. Joystick Division looks at the ten best coop campaigns of this generation.
I think gears and portal easily take the cake both become a better game with a buddy (not to say they are not the greatest games on their own).
Not a bad listing of games. But I would have changed Halo 3 to read Halo Series, because all the Halo Series that had co-op campaigns were exceptional with another player beside you.
I enjoyed Reach the best of the Co-op and then maybe Halo 3 and ODST. Though some complain that ODST didn't have matchmaking with campaign... not an issue for me seeing I hate playing campaign games with strangers.
Saint's Row 2, Resistance 2, Borderlands and Portal 2 were the most fun I had in co-op this gen.
Edit @ Legion below - Right. Co-oping in a different campaign isn't really campaign co-op. Airtight logic.
Due to all the hard work Valve fans did a few weeks ago, they were able to unlock the Left 4 Dead 2:Dead Air DLC early.
