Geez, good co-op games are hard to come by. So are good friends to play them with - all my friends who I used to play video games with don't live in my city!
But a couple of great co-op games came out on XBLA, recently, so I thought I'd start a thread!
Bionic Commando: Rearmed (for XBLA)! The team that remade this did a great job of it - improving the game in every way while TOTALLY retaining the classic feel of it. They also added CO-OP! And it's a blast. It's really funny when someone ends up mis-swinging and falling into the water, or a pit of spikes (or blows himself and/or his friend up with a bazooka!). My friend and I got quite far in this together, but unfortunately, I had to leave town before we could finish.
Castle Crashers just came out this week on XBLA, too! I've only played a demo at Comic-Con, but it was great. I've heard nothing but positive reviews of the final game, too.
And here are some of my other favorite co-op games from the past and present:
Oh man, you totally have to play
Treasure Treasure with someone. A really cute, cooperative puzzle/platform game for the PC. Free!
TMNT: The Arcade Game. 'NUFF SAID!
One of my favorite games of all time, one of the first co-op games, and, in my opinion, the BEST co-op game! As a kid, I used to go down to "GameZone," the local game store (RPGs and board games, mostly), to play this in their computer area with my buds (and whoever else was around). SO much fun.
I'm sure there are plenty more I'm forgetting, too. But now it's your turn!
