You just can’t keep good game journalists down.

A little longer than one week ago we learned some former employees of 1UP would be starting their own online show that would pick up where the 1UP Show left off. They promised to reveal their new name and post the first show one week after announcing it.

After thousands of dollars worth of donations and some hard work the guys are back to form Area 5 and a new show called Co-OP. The name Area 5 comes from a level in the Dreamcast/PS2 game Rez that the guys are quite fond of.

The first episode of CO-OP is now live (see the video below). It’s about 23 minutes long and features a lot of former 1UP and EGM staff members as they talk about their favorite games of 2008.

The show is split into two parts with the second half probably being available next week. For now CO-OP is free but that may very well change sometime in the future (guys need to eat). For now, sit back and enjoy what we hope to be the first of many episodes of CO-OP.
