Army of TWO

The newest new game on the block for any gaming device is PS3's Army of TWO. The co-op game features everything a growing boy loves. Blood, terrorists, explosions and corruption.

Army of TWO is about two semi-straight shooters that want to flush out corruption for the privatized military organization they belong to.

Not exactly something you'll see in Blackwater, but a game is a game for a reason.

The first mission involves going to the Middle East and taking out some guy with a name that includes too many vowels.

The main characters -- ex-Army Rangers Rios and Salem -- globe trot to weed out the scum with pimped out super handguns and .50 caliber sniper rifles.

Everything about the experience I've had beating the game with my brother has been great. Co-op is fantastic. He has a humongous TV so playing split screen wasn't as bad as it should have been.

He doesn't have internet hooked up to his PS3, so who know what magic is around that corner.

If I have one major problem with the game is that you can't run as one of the usable characters. When I'm getting shot at I'd like to think that I can hotfoot it out of there. But you can't and you usually die.

Overall, a game of the year for PS3. I think its out on XBOX and I'd imagine its about the same.
