Army of Two (Electronic Arts / EA Montreal - 360, PS3)
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (Eidos / Io - 360, PS3, PC)

Release Date: November 13, 2007

Same Time As: Each other

Why it should succeed: Playing through a shooter cooperatively with 💯a friend used to be a neat and novel idea. Since the success of Halo and Gears of War, however, developers have been cramming the feature into their games as if it were a requirement. Sometimes the addition doesn🧜't make much sense.

That's not the case with Kane & Lynch or Army of Two. Both titles were built from the ground up with coop in mind - and it shows. The former stars two extremely distinct anti-heroes who, as much as they mistrust each other, must rely on teamwork to get the job done. If carrying a hostage out of a nightclub is a hands-full job, for example, you'll need someone to do all the shooting.

Arm🅺y of Two goes further, forcing you to work with a friend through almost every scenario. You'll hꦬelp boost your buddy over walls, call targets while he snipes, drive while he shoots out the window and, when necessary, engage in a CPR minigame to save him.

This is 💧cooperative gameplay as an entire genre, not ju🌼st a bonus feature.

Why it probably won't: Yeah, the holidays this year are busy. But one day in particular - November 13, 2007 - is outright crazy. Of the eight games in our Top 7 feature (okay, so we cheated a little), almost half of them release then. It gets wors🌳e. After a quick and dirty tally on EBgames.com, we estimate that almost FORTY titles will hit store shelves that Tuesday.
