October is another exciting month for co-op and multiplayer fans, with a mix of big-name releases and unique indie games.
With Gears of War, we got another brutal third-person shooter. If you're into flight games, you can go podracing in STAR WARS: Galactic Racer™ or become the next aerial ace in ACE COMBAT 8: WINGS OF THEVE. We also have cozy road trips, survival games, puzzle adventures, and chaotic but rewarding co-op roguelikes - this month has plenty of ways to play together.
As always, we're first giving you a quick overview below - but you can also choose to watch the video instead and then head down into the sections to wishlist your favorites!
