Conflict: Denied Ops, on both the PlayStation 3 and XBox 360, features both a single player campaign and multiplayer co-op.

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.
