We’ve made it no secret that we feed off of smart GameTap suggestions.  But now The Robot Co-op’s gone and created a suggestion box for the whole world.  You should do this: check it out.

Let me just go ahead and get this out of the way: BioShock is out!!! I had convinced myself not to purchase it on release day (”Submergence Day” anyone?) knowing that it would suck the life out of me, but after reading Creative Director Ken Levine’s influences behind the game design I could no longer resist. The atmosphere and ambiance of the underwater city of Rapture utterly consumes you … it’s literally like you’re acting out the starring role of a very well done ’50s sci-fi/horror flick. Definitely a contender for Game of the Year.

In the spirit of water-based-game-lovin’, half of GameTap’s new releases this week are aquatically themed, with Atlantis Evolution, Beach Life, and Jaws™ Unleashed. There’s lots of new shows for you to Watch, and don’t forget to Read all of the great articles our brilliant editorial team keeps churning out daily!

– Co-op Challenge by Mantid –

Sometimes you want to destroy the other player; sometimes you want to team up. Mantid’s playlist is full of online Challenge! games dedicated to the latter. And I guess it’s important to note that he describes these games as allowing “some form” of co-op (heading off any Joust Jerks at the pass).

Like my man Hervé says, “Why do people have to fight?“
