    We had a lot of fun with Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (also known as “Gotta Save the Space Bunnies”) which is not split but local co-op on a shared screen.

      Yep. Mariokart can just get fired up anytime when I’m chilling with an old friend.

    Helldivers is probably the one I’ve spent a fair chunk of my life to. Excited for the second one thats coming out soon, though they do seem to be taking a different approach going from top-down shared twin stick to 3d so I’m curious how that will affect things

    My personal favorite is Timesplitters 2 with Timesplitters Future Perfect very close behind

    Can’t beat a good GoldenEye/Perfect Dark style shooter

      God yeah Timesplitters 2 was amazing, hoping the rewind project eventually comes out, seems like they’re making steady progress though

    I very much enjoy the Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga game. It really handles multiplayer well.

      Is that the one that introduced the starting on 1 screen and then went into splitscreen when you got too far from each other?
      That was just an amazingly well thought of way of doing couch coop/splitscreen.

        Yeah that one! It’s really well done. No limimtations of mulitplayer. I remember playing the old version of clone wars and episode III on PC and having to stay within the same screen.

      We play it once every 3 years with my brother remembering the fun mechanic, then we remember it’s pissing us both and stop to still keep a positive relationship

    A Way Out is not the best game ever, but it’s the right length for my bother and I to do it in one single evening. Which made the ending pretty good for us after a few hours of continuous gameplay and pizzas

    Trail out has been a lot of fun. Not quite up to the physics of wreck fest but good fun 2p couch gaming. Also been playing twinkle star sprites on Saturn.

    • Halo
    • It Takes Two

    Goddamn these two games are so well crafted and awesome. Halo is a classic fps with every aspect of gameplay gelling really well with me. It Takes Two is a unique with some revolutionary gameplay mechanics. Some of my favourite games of all time

    My choices have to either be Halo 3, Gears of War 2, or ScreenCheat. The first two were my childhood lan parties and the third is just a super fun party game that you can play in person or on parsec.

    It Takes Two

    The game is such a wild ride and I am still amazed at the amount of themes and game mechanics they squeezed in there.

    Usually my group falls back on the Jackbox party games, like Quiplash. The best is when my group develops running jokes.

    “What should you not use to paint a wall?” “A chainsaw”

    “The least likely weapon to be used in self defense” “A chainsaw covered in paint”

      Those games are HYSTERICAL with the right crowd. I wish I could play them more but I think they’re most fun with a few more people than I usually can drag into it.
