An army of nine Army of Two screenshots

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 …
