Filter's gloomy rendition of "Happy Together" sets the perfect tone for the May 31 launch of inXile's co-op focused dungeon romp Hunted: The Demon's Forge.

In the latest behind-the-scenes video for inXile's Hunted: The Demon's Forge, the development team explores how they tackled crafting the game world, and how players can create their own bits of it using the game's Crucible map editor.

"Hunted is running through dungeons and killing monsters with really cool swords, really cool weapons, and amazing spells," says developer inXile's president Matt Findley. That's enough of a description for me. The rest of you should watch this behind-the-scenes trailer.

Finishing story mode is only the beginning of the adventure in inXile Entertainment's Hunted: The Demon's Forge. With the Crucible, players can spend their hard-earned gold pieces on creating and sharing endless custom dungeon romps.

Featuring both online and split-screen offline cooperative multiplayer, Hunted: The Demon's Forge is definitely a game you'll want to play with a friend. I call dibs on the elf girl.

I had no idea E'lara and Caddoc, the two mercenary stars of inXile's Hunted: The Demon Forge, could be so witty. What an eye-opener.

Brink, the first-person shooter designed to make elite team play possible for everyone, will be out on May 17 in North America. Hunted, the Gears-of-War-style fantasy game arrives on June 3. Both are for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

You may want me as a co-op partner in Hunted: The Demon's Forge, because on day one, I'll be very familiar with the dungeon crawler's cooperative combat and puzzle solving.

It's hard to not think of Gears of War while playing Hunted: The Demon's Forge. It's hard not to assume the Epic's blockbuster shooter would be superior to the Hunted's upcoming fantasy riff. But Hunted adds a good spice: co-operation.

Bethesda Softworks focuses on other developer's titles this E3, with Splash Damage's Brink, Obsidian's Fallout: New Vegas, id's RAGE, and inXile's Hunted: The Demon's Forge making up its show lineup.

The head of Hunted: The Demon's Forge developer, inXile Entertainment, doesn't take comparisons of his dark dungeon crawler to Gears of War unkindly - even if you're labelling it Spears of War and Gears of Warcraft.
