Cooperative Games On A Single PC

Overslop · 30 Apr 2009 at 19:44

Hey guys,

Am looking to get some games to play with my nephew on PC. The only problem is that he likes to play games with a storyline the same as the single player, but done cooperatively. And he refuses to play in a network so it needs to be multiplayer on a single PC.

There are lots of games on consoles that allow for this, but I'm not aware of many on PC.

Can anybody help me out?

Shadowgrounds can be played this way i believe.

I have Lego Star Wars 2 on my 360.

I actually enjoyed that but he didn't! :eek:

Shame as otherwise I would happily have bought the others.

Left 4 dead if you have a gamepad.

I don't have the link to hand but go to the steam forums and search, I think it is stickied.

That would be awesome, but I doubt I can convince his mother that it is suitable for him. Will give it a try though!

Cool, I own these games but didn't realise that!

Another yes for Serious Sam, great fun playing co-op, is absolutely mental firing bowling balls at everything - and each other

Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

Probably the opther games in the series allow this as well.

I think I might have the same problem of convincing my sister when it comes to Kane and Lynch.

But I might give Watchmen a go.

There are PC versions of Dynasty Warriors 4, 5, 6 and Warriors Orochi which have split screen play.

You could also download a megadrive emulator (such as Gens) and set the keyboard up for player one and the joypad up as player 2. Download some megadrive game roms and there you go.
