Couch coop PC games?

Omaeka · 23 Jan 2014 at 22:24

Just wondering if there are any good PC games that can be played with either a controller + KBM or two controllers. Genre doesn't matter too much. Cheers.

Super Mario Bros X.

Emu games (naughty naughty).

Pixel Junk games on steam.

Gun Monkeys? Not coop though.

Also old school - The Chaos Engine on steam.

Jamestown - on steam.

Forced - on steam yet again

Any of them in particular or just whichever lore you prefer best?

The very old ones aren't as good as the new ones and best played with two pads. Anything from Indiana Jones onwards really.

PC games are not for couch potatoes.

Super Meat Boy.

Take it in turns. You sure very often and it's hilarious

By far the best are The Clone Wars, Marvel Superheroes and Batman2, in that order imo

Omaeka · 26 Jan 2014 at 03:31

Have dug out the old PS2 and started blipping through Champions of Norrath & Return to Arms (best games ever made IMO) so I'll bookmark this page for when we're finished/bored.

Cheers guys, appreciate it.

As well as some of the other suggestions above (the Lego series of games, Trine etc), I'll suggest Lara Croft and the Guardian Of Light

Those along with Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance I and II were played to death in co-op

I just wish more couch co-op hack 'n slash games could live up to them

Throwing in my recommendation for Metal Slug.

If the close wars is the same one as you get bundled in the "complete saga" pack, I strongly disagree.

Lego LOTR is fantastic, particularly if you like the movies/books. Excellent use of the IP, good lego mechanics, massive open-world bit, just generally excellent.

My other half and I finished it (she go it to 100% completion, despite not being a gamer or even that interested when I bought it for her).

We got the Lego Star Wars complete saga (episodes 1-6 in one game) and so far we've done the first three films' worth and it's decidedly meh - the co-op camera is significantly worse than in LOTR and quite frequently kills us (if you get too far apart it will just push one of you off a ledge!) and it makes for very frustrating play, plus it seems less whimsical than the silly LOTR bits.

TL;DR: Lego Lord of the Rings is ace, try that.
