The Tuesday Cap is a new regular column capping of and commenting on game news for the past week.

Here's the bits, bobs, doobalackeys, and thingamajigs in the world of gaming of note for the past week.

The tabletop game Warhammer 40,000 gets some good innings this past month with the release of both the excellent Space Marine for consoles and the coop Arcade Game Killteam on Live and PSN. While Killteam is a blast and an obvious buy for Warhammer fans, some rough edges may put off other players.

The Tuesday Cap is a new regular column capping of and commenting on game news for the past week.

It’s been a full two weeks since my last weekly update and I apologise for that. My body had decided to host some kind of international conference for viruses over the last week and I spent my time in a gibbering, feverish, spluttering mess. But I’m recovered now so here’s the game news of the last fourteen days.

It's competition time readers and this one couldn't be any easier or more fun to win. Read on to find out how you can score a copy of one of the most unique and anticipated titles of the year El Shaddai.

The Darkness was soooo good. Soooooooo good. The Darkness II looks equally good in this teaser trailer which recaps the important elements of the last game and promises more supernatural carnage and mafia versus Lovecraftian monster madness.

Delectable.

What’s 15 years among friends? Duke Nukem Forever finally arrives to consoles the world over. Kick ass and chew bubble gum after the jump.

Re-Post! Just in time for Gears of War 3, let's take a look back at an article that Aaron wrote just over two years ago about your Co-Op team mates. Not much has changed.

When Live was first introduced the first question for every new game in development was, ‘will it have online multiplayer?’ After the massive success of Gears of War 2, Resident Evil 5 and Left 4 Dead the question now seems to have evolved to ‘does it have online multiplayer coop?’

There's no question that playing in a team together is great, the shared glory of a victory and helping each other out gives you a big warm heart glow. It takes the fun of playing games with your mates and removes the sting of getting humiliated by ten year olds at Team Deathmatch games. Sesame Street was right, cooperation is fun.

I spent a lot of time playing coop games over Live and I have noticed that people seem to develop certain personality traits. No matter who I play with, everyone seems to take on a certain role in the game. I’ve decided to categorise these personalities so gamers can be clear on who and what they are and to make it easier for new gamers to spot them in the wild.
