    GoIo is a first-person, class-based co-op game wherein you pilot, repair and shoot guns from various types of airships.

    Bonus, it's only four bucks until the end of the week:

    You kind of have to be able to coordinate and work with your teammates (if you want to win, anyway. Winning is optional), so voice chat is a pretty much mandatory. Thankfully the integrated voice doesn't suck.

    It's actually pretty fun and doesn't really require a hellacious time commitment. A match is usually over in 10 to 20 minutes.

    Also, MLG has apparently been paying it some attention, if you give a shit about that sort of thing.

    rip in piece. The wife locked her in keys in her car at her work (which is a hospital in a shitty part of town), apologies for the early exit.

    Right now it's a PvP game but they're reportedly working on a co-op PvE RPG...thing to go along with the various PvP game modes.

    lmbo, we were wondering what happened to you. We went ahead and started a match and it was a comedy of errors that ended up most he time with me yelling at Prude to ram the other ship.

    I've played against a guy who has a Pyramidion named "H.M.S Rams Too Much". He leaves the impact bumpers on constantly and just crashes into people.

    MLG tactics

    My team sucked. I was obviously outshining them with my excellent engineering skills.
