Conflict: Denied Ops, on both the PlayStation 3 and XBox 360, features both a single player campaign and multiplayer co-op.
Conflict: Denied Ops features two agents from the CIA’s Special Activities Division (SAD). Their mission: to prevent a third-world dictatorship from gaining nuclear weapons; a mission which will take them across three continents and pit them against the ambitious, powerful and dangerous men who control the nuclear arms smuggling trade.
With the ability to play as either agent, you can switch between two very different characters, manoeuvre them rapidly into position and take full advantage of their individual skills and weapons. This is the essence of the game: each agent working with and protecting the other to create the perfect Denied Ops team.
Amazon are selling both console versions for £24.96 each.
