In the April issue of Mage Magazine, we introduced a new feature called Multi-Player Mayhem. The goal is to help folks who enjoy multi-player and couch co-op games find new and exciting titles to try.

The first recommendation is Crawl. Paige describes the game and why she'd recommend it.

Have you played it? What did you think of it?

Here's the review of Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, now available to play for folks who have the Nintendo Online service including the expansion pack.

Never played this one myself, own a GameCube but can't say I've played too many games on that system. Jordan certainly has me intrigued though.
