An army of nine Army of Two screenshots photo

Electronic Arts has sent over some new shots of their upcoming Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game, Army of Two, and it sure is looking a lot like, well ... Army of Two

Don't get me wrong -- everything about EA Montreal's third-person shooter has me amped to play it. An entirely cooperative experience, Army of Two is going to require me to finally return people's phone calls if I'm going to get the most out of it. Also, as far as I know, it's the only game that will allow you to stuff a tampon into your pal's bloody wound.

But every time I see this game it's just these two dudes touching each other or shooting at things off-screen. Will there be enemies in this game, or will you just cavort around barren wastelands and deserts? I suspect the former, but until I get some more hands on time with the game, I'm going to assume it's a "buddy touching simulator."

I'm still excited to play it. I'm calling my therapist ...

I get a strange Mad Max vibe... maybe the little guy is Master and the big dude is Blaster.

EA will do for video games what Ang Lee did for Montana and cowboys.

I guess EA plans on making the gameplay REALLY addicting, so the common review for Army of Two will be:

"I just can't quit TWO."

Agreed...the new screen shots are pretty boring, but I'm still looking forward to this game.

I just noticed the 'Gay friendly' tag ha. Well done Nick.

I'm with Dan Gale on this. I'm just going to assume it's more garbage from EA and then there'll be no way that i can be let down.

Just watch, close to release they'll realize they spent all their time making the gay guys look shiny and just use Madden models for the enemies.
