Knowing Valve… it’s something that’s gonna be friggen awesome!

I just saw the vid below on Youtube and now I’m all hyped up to find out more about this new game from Valve and Arcane Studios (and I still haven’t even played Portal yet). I’m not exactly sure what cross-player might be, but I’m gonna venture a guess that it’s something along the lines of cooperative and/or multi-player within the single-player story line. Ever since the good old days of the Double Dragon arcade cabinet, cooperative play has been something of a holy grail for me. Unfortunately, very few games encorporate this cool feature and even fewer do it well. There’s just something comforting in knowing your buddy has your back when you venture into that dark sub-terranian enclave of evil baddies (think Diablo II).

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how The Crossing is going to re-define how we think of multi-player. Enjoy the short vid.
