Unless Capcom pulls some crazy-stupid move between now and February 23, Lost Planet 2 is going to be one of next year’s most enjoyable co-op games. The development studio hasn’t exactly been known to do a silly thing like that, so I think we’re mostly in the clear here.

Without warning, a huge amount of boss-centric screenshots have been tossed our way on today of feasting. One’s named Red Eye, while the other baddie goes by Akrid X. I’ll let you figure out which one is which.

Recognizing some of the many images as being previously used, I tried to filter through the mess and only upload ones I thought were relatively new, or at the very least, looked pretty effing cool.

The fact that you fight the worm-looking fellow on a moving train has me thinking we aren’t even close to figuring out most of Lost Planet 2’s numerous surprises yet.

As we mentioned last week, Left 4 Dead 2 had a less than brilliant launch on the Xbox 360 thanks to the fact that it lagged out horrendously once it got on the internet. Fortunately, Valve has dropped a Thanksgiving Day gift on our grateful heads, having just boosted the servers for Xbox Live.

“We have upgraded our network infrastructure to superior accommodate the big response to L4D2,” blogs Valve. “360 players will now have lag-free servers. We’ve also added more dedicated servers.”

Great stuff! There’s nothing more frustrating than lining up your reticule on a witless survivor, letting your Smoker’s tongue fly, and then waiting five seconds for him to actually attack, by which time the survivor is now onto you and pumping your tumor-riddled face full of bullets.

I have many fallen Smokers to avenge this night.
