The Wonderful, Rare Sloppiness Of The Monaco Soundtrack
Of all the terms one could use to describe a video game soundtrack—exhilarating, emotional, sad, uplifting, lonesome, boisterous—the word "sloppy" almost never comes up. Seriously, pause for a minute and name a video game with a sloppy soundtrack. Unless you're talking about a poorly-played Rock Band track or a bar…
How My Game Cuts Down On Online Gamer Obnoxiousness
Playing online games often exposes one to the worst of humanity. Within this den of scum and villainy you’ll find twelve year olds who act like four year olds, dudes that would be the worst drinking buddies, and silent, useless teammates that clearly have no f***ing idea how to play this damn game. Of course, when…
The very good solo/co-op heist game Monaco will be available for download to the Xbox 360 on Friday, May 10. It's already out on PC. $15. Highly, highly recommended.

The co-op heist game Monaco appears to be missing whatever qualities an online video game must possess in order to turn the strangers who play it into jerks. I'm worried about telling you this, because I'm worried that I'm wrong and that Monaco is as prone to being ruined by the burrs of humanity. I'm worried that…

The plan is simple. Get in, grab all the money, get out. Everyone has a role in this heist, and if we do our jobs correctly, nobody sees us and nobody needs to get hurt, see?
Monaco, the top-down perspective, co-op heist game that's gotten raves on the PC, was held back from Xbox Live at the last minute because of a "minor but important bug" causing multiplayer disconnects. No release date is promised, but the game's creator says he hopes to submit another fix this week.

The award-winning indie co-op heist game Monaco won't be coming out tomorrow on Xbox Live Arcade after all. It's been delayed "a little," its creators say, to fix some unspecified problem. They've already submitted a fix. In happier news, it'll still be out for PC on Steam tomorrow, and we'll have video of me playing…
