Army of Two

Most shooter games leave you to fight — and die — alone. But this adrenal third-person actioner from Electronic Arts is all about the strategic co-op play. Team up with another warrior online, or let the computer-controlled "Partner Artificial Intelligence" cover your ass. The more destruction you wreak, the higher your "Aggrometer" jacks up — drawing the enemy's attention your way and letting your teammate sneak up unnoticed. For added Aggro, pimp out your choice of more than thirty weapons with customized bling, such as gold plating — because if enemy grenades get you, you might as well blow up in style.
