13 Greatest Couch Co-Op Games

@Bread_or_Decide: Me neither, but then I got a bigger TV and better surround sound. The friends starting pouring into my house to play games. It's costly, but a worthwhile investment if you ask me.

@tom_cat_01: Origins was a bit better though

@ranger_lennier: Hate waggle controls... cannot believe Nintendo wont let you use the main controller either for Wii U co-op. I'd say they're a fail.

@Sw1tched: Toejam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron was my first real co-op experience. I would play with my dad. We really loved that game. So many good memories.......thanks for bringing this one up!

@Sw1tched:

Don't forget The Lost Vikings, Double Dragon, Battletoads.... Anything from SNES/Genesis era was co-op gold. They just don't make em' like they used to. Toe Jam and Earl has a special place in my heart though.

Getting really pis sed off at Gamespot for censoring things like "pis sed" as if it's an even remotely inappropriate term.

Get a handle on your censorship, Big Brother...

@balintcsikos: I see what you mean. PC's can be connected via HDMI to my big screen TV. As you know, all games mentioned work with an xbox 360 or xbone controller and my friends enjoy the 2-4 player local coop. Gaming just like the old days.

@balintcsikos: There's actually a lot of couch coop on PC. Way more than consoles. Battleblock Theater, Castle Crashers, Broforce/Expendabros, All Zombies Must Die, Devil's Dare, Dungeon Defenders, Final Exam, Forced, Foul Play, Gauntled, Magicka, Orcs Must Die, Spelunky, Trine, Forced, Nation Red, Assault on Cactus, Towerfall Ascension and much more really.

@balintcsikos: Right? It used to almost just be assumed there was the 2-player option at the start menu.

@elachzed: Where was that couch Co-op? I don't think my XBLA copies let me do that :(

@Dawg9000: Besides being a woman, I'm guessing she's also in her early 20s, so that could be a factor.

@Dawg9000: she mentioned gauntlet and oh my god man you are an asshole for making those presumptions, she's an editor for christ's sake.

@Dawg9000: Haha after reading that made up reason for her to get into gaming i got a mental image of her saying "I've made a huuge mistake" afterwards like Job from Arrested Development

As for your point. Any pre-2000 games your still playing coop with friends? Alot of them where great back then, but im not sure i'd fire any of them up if a friend came over

@Dawg9000: So guys who aren't like you? Thanks for being 'such a cool fellow gamer'... JFC

@Dawg9000: Well, why don't you mention them on your list then? Problem solved.
