An outstanding game for anyone who loves couch co-op.

User Rating: 9 | Dungeon Siege III X360
Couch co-op has been all but forgotten as more and more gamers join the online community. Unfortunately, this trend in modern gaming has left many of us old school gamers wanting. The upside, is that there are still a few developers that recognize this niche and occasionally throw us a cookie. To those that relate to these sentiments, I am pleased to inform you that Dungeon Siege III is that cookie, and quite a tasty one as well.

When played with a friend, Dungeon Siege III is fantastic. The presentation is beautiful, the scenery is varied and creative, the gameplay is solid, each character is unique and interesting, there are some brilliant boss battles, the upgrades and loot drops are satisfying, and the story and lore actually draw you into DSIII's enchanting world. I was actually surprised at how much I was drawn into this world, but there were a few moments that I found genuinely memorable. This is also a game that heavily encourages cooperation between players, and resulted in some breathless encounters that ended with synchronized sighs of accomplished relief.

To those that have been looking for a quality couch co-op experience, the search ends here. Dungeon Siege 3 is a great game and it might just be the cold glass of water you've been thirsting for.
