Army of Two

By Randy Nelson IO Interactive is ditching many of the audio-visual bells and whistles of the modern third-person action game for its upcoming Kane & Lynch sequel, with the hopes of ultimately creating a more realistic, gritty experience.

By Justin McElroy EA Montreal boss Alain Tascan admitted to Videogamer.com that the first Army of Two game "piss[ed] off a lot of people" with some of its missteps; most notably the killing of terrorists for cash in areas in which real soldiers were dying. So the mistake was, basically, the whole game.

By Randy Nelson Never did I think that, after finishing the original Army of Two, I'd ever be re-enlisting for a sequel. Sure, it sold well, but its myriad not-quite-fulfilled ideas and irritating "Dude! Bro!" lead characters just made me want to shrug off the game and move on with my life. So I sit here writi...

By AJ Glasser Army of Two: The 40th Day on PSP is almost the same as its console counterpart with two major exceptions.

By Michael McWhertor I should back up a bit. Because the first thing we actually got a peek at was Army of Two: The 40th Day's weapon customization features. And whenever someone asks why I think The 40th Day will be a hell of a lot better than its predecessor, I point to features like this.

By Brian Crecente In the game, due out this winter for the PSP, PS3 and Xbox 360, soldiers Salem and Rios have to make moral choices cooperatively that affect the pair as a team. Each moral choice, EA says, "sets players on a course that affects the gameplay and direction of the storyline."

By Stephen Totilo Fist-bumps and standing back-to-back while shooting machine guns...those were some of the signature elements of co-operative, two-player gaming in EA's original 2008 shooter Army of Two. But the most interesting thing I saw in Army of Two: The 40th Day was co-op morality.

By mahmood We’ve just released Up All Night: Army of Two featuring Janina Gavankar. Up All Night is a reality tv-style review show that shows real-time reactions of gamers as they go through the game. This time around, we reviewed EA Games’ Army of Two, a new third person shooter that centers on co-op.

By James Co-op gameplay is unquestionably in, especially in this generation of gaming. There’s an appeal to working together with a buddy and being able to live on to fight another day. Kind of like Gears of War, Army of Two’s main gameplay is a third-person shooter built around this premise. So, is th...

This better than average shooter is fun to play with a friend, but it's best not to think about the subject matter.

Good co-op games can be surprisingly hard to find. No need to name names, but for every solid experience there are a dozen or so more marred by unfulfilled potential, if not worse.

The review highlights just how good the co-op is. That is, playing with a friend yields rewarding gameplay and re-playability. Playing with the AI is just downright frustrating at times. One thing many people might not realize is the ...
