Army of Two: The 40th Day Multiplayer Preview: Extract Some Fun
Army of Two: The 40th Day goes out of its way to carry the cooperative experience through all of its competitive multiplayer modes, but thankfully this doesn’t mean endless team deathmatches.

Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time Review: The Leap, At Last
The problem with the Ratchet & Clank games being consistently good, annual release after annual release, is that it’s hard for them to seem spectacular. For the first time in a while, a new one does.

Army of Two: The 40th Day Introduces Extraction
Imagine Gears of War 2’s Horde Mode combined with Left 4 Dead’s escape-the-zombies gameplay and you’ll have something similar to — but not exactly like — Army of Two: The 40th Day‘s new multiplayer mode, Extraction. Extraction comes as a bonus multiplayer mode for GameStop any retailer’s pre-order customers. But don’t fret — the rest…

Capcom Pondering Super Street Fighter IV In Arcades
Capcom hasn’t yet decided whether they will be bringing Super Street Fighter IV to arcades, a spokesman told Kotaku, but if they do it will be a fairly easy transition.

This Is Why DiRT 2 PC Was Delayed
Codemasters trotted out the PC version of Colin McRae: DiRT 2 today at the Windows 7 launch in New York, showing off the snazzy DirectX 11 features the game was delayed for. The DirectX 11 effects actually look rather impressive, though I’m not sure they amount to anything that really warranted the game being delayed…

Australian Ratings Board Refuses Left 4 Dead 2 Appeal
After the Australian Classification Review Board first refused to classify Valve’s zombie first-person-shooter Left 4 Dead 2, Valve appealed the government’s decision. Valve’s Zombie shooter was refused classification, which means it can’t be made commercially available in the country. Not quite the same as a banning, but it has the same effect. The company’s appeal…

Anyone Want To Guess What Ignition’s New Game Is?
Ignition is teasing a game announcement on both Twitter and its Facebook page. Don’t you just love modern advertising? Time was, you’d have to wait until tomorrow for a press release. Oh wait… You’re waiting ’til tomorrow anyway. That’s why it’s a tease, not a game announcement. I’ll dutifully keep my eyes on the Twitter…
