This is better than Grand Theft Auto 4, which features extremely limited online co-op in what I think is just one online mode, and even now I don’t understand why Rockstar hasn’t tried to sell me additional online co-op modes for the game.

Gaming Nexus — by: Charles Husemann NEWS - GamingNexus is headed to Seattle for PAX tomorrow night (well just Cyril and I).  For those who will be making the trip to the show and have tickets (they sold out yesterday so you're Tango Sierra if you wanted to buy at the door) this is just a reminder that I'm doing a panel on game reviews with a few other folks on Sunday from 4-5 in the Raven Theatre.
