More On: Army of Two: The 40th Day
While Europeans get the game a few days earlier, us in North America can look forward to more co-op action as Army of Two: The 40th Day is coming January 12th, 2010. The team of Salem and Rios is coming back and giving us more good times as they take on more bad guys in Shanghai. If you pre-order, you get access to the Extraction mode at launch. The mode sounds pretty fun as you and three others fight through waves of enemies as you move from one point to the next in trying to get out. Chuck and I had a lot of fun playing the story mode together so we're looking forward to this one and to see if there's going to be any more fun AI problems to encounter.
