I can't help but feel like many of you overlooked Schizoid, one of the most enjoyable co-op games to come out in recent years.

Unlike an unnecessarily large amount of Xbox LIVE Arcade titles, Schizoid wasn't released with a broken online mode, so I figured it'd be a good candidate for Friday Night Fights.

Participation should be much higher than last week seeing as how today isn't the Fourth of July, so if you'd rather play something else with your Dtoid pals, that shouldn't be much of an issue.

Hit the jump for the hosts as always.

Mini-guide for meeting up with Dtoiders for Super Smash Bros. Brawl or Mario Kart Wii:

The IRC way: head on over to this Web site (or start up your own IRC client) and type "/join #dtoid-brawl" (or even #destructoid) without the quotation marks.

The Ventrilo way: download and install Vent. Then use the following info to log onto Dtoid's server:

• IP/Hostname: VOICE-VA2.BRANZONE.COM
• Port: 3790
• Password: None

Once you're in, you'll need to use the password "ftw" to access the Social Lounge.

The 360 way: use your Xbox 360 to chat with people on your friends list. Steam or an IM client will work fine too.

Games
• Agent MOO: Maximum Overdeath
• Team Fortress 2:
  If you own a TF2 server and would like to get the word out, please feel free to do so by making a comment on this post or by creating a community blog. If you don't understand why I'm not listing servers here, then you probably missed out on all of the hostility between community members.

The following hosts are European, and may or may not still be hosting by the time you read this. Alternatively, if you want to get your gaming done earlier on, these are the people you'll want to talk to.

Oh, and don't forget to add EuroFNF to your friends list.
