Army of Two

By Matt Banks Weapon design contests are all the rage these days. Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time recently had one and now Army of Two: The 40th Day is jumping in the ring. The first Army of Two had a similar contest as well. I’m willing to bet a few of you submit rocket launchers that shoot dildos. Some o...

By Luke Plunkett You can see images of the prototype figures above, and while there's no information regarding release dates or any other figures in the line, it'd be weird if they weren't released alongside Army of Two: The 40th Day later this year.

By Michael McWhertor As previously posted, the PS3 game library welcomes six new "Greatest Hits" budget offerings in North America, all carrying a $29.99 price tag. That's a better deal on Army of Two for example, than it is on Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, which only shaved off $10 from its original price tag.

Yes, those are prototype toys for Army of Two stars Rios and Salem. I was about to grab them from their shelf and pose with those babies in my arms. But after a mad rush and a “Noooo!” from a publicist, I backed off. The prototypes were very delicate, ...

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.

G4 TV I've already seen Army of Two: The 40th Day. A few months back, I got a hands-off demo of the game, and came away pretty impressed. Too bad EA is pulling a fast one, and the only thing we got to see of Army of Two: The 40th Day was…a hands-off demo. ... IGN - G4 TV

 Florida Army of Two: the 40th Day isn't exactly the Army of Two you remember. The fist-bumping, butt-slapping behavior of the two protagonists -- Salem and Rios -- has been greatly reduced to match the game's new, more serious tone. ...

By Michael McWhertor When I played the Army of Two sequel a few weeks back—more about that later—I certainly don't remember any precocious kids hanging out with Rios and Salem. But in a game where you can kill armed soldiers and civilians, you need a third, tinier smart ass to offer additional comic relief.

By Luke Plunkett We say "new" because, well, not all of them are new to the Platinum Hits series. Indeed, most of the eight highlighted titles aren't. Like Viva Pinata.

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...

By DeuxMichaels There a good number of games that tout teamwork and strategy as their core components, but when implemented, do little than put a couple of extra bodies on your side—and even then, enemies will still focus their attention on you. ...

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 ...

By Brian Crecente Army of Two is Electronic Arts' answer to the growing desire for cooperative play, a game that is essentially one giant coop mode, with some flawed single-player strapped on for the lonely and friendless.

SAN FRANCISCO--With private military contractors (PMCs) like Blackwater topping news stories, the timing couldn't be better for EA Montreal's new cooperative shooter, Army of Two, which has just been pushed back to a Q1 2008 release.

By Mark Wilson Yes, you can interact with you partner to play some air guitar on your guns, but the gameplay really isn't riddled with lowbrow humor. I asked the developers about the negative reaction from some about the juvenile humor, and they likened it to Bad Boys. It's buddy cop stuff. And if the game has...
