He Frag, She Frag

For you shooter fans out there who prefer playing with a buddy (and using equal parts brains and brawn), I have a good cooperative-gameplay opportunity for you; EA’s Army of Two.

Slated for release on March 4th (next Tuesday!), Army of Two focuses on 2-player teamwork – necessitating the help of either your AI partner or human co-player (maybe your significant other?) to complete the story campaign.

What I find to be the coolest aspect of this title are the various maneuvers you and your teamie can partake in; one can pull a door off a car and hold it in front of themselves while you follow behind, firing over their shoulder – or even drag your wounded friend to safety, while they continue to fire on pursuing enemies. Heck, you can even give them them a ten-finger upsy-daisy; all of which are just the tip of the iceberg.

 I’ll spare you all the details and let a preview do that for me, if you’re interested. Jaz and I are excited about this one, and will definitely be checking it out – and blogging about in its wake.

It’s be available on the X-Box 360 and Playstation 3.
