Mucu from GamesOnSmash.com writes, "Cooperative games hold a special place in my heart. There is nothing more thrilling than taking out a legion of foes with a partner at your side. Unfortunately, very few co-op games are worth the time to play. Most of the time, the developer’s construct a single-player experience and then throw in co-op last minute. This simply does not work. The best co-op games are constructed from the very beginning to be played with other people. That is the key that is making Hunted: The Demon’s Forge from inXile Entertainment shape up to be one of the best co-op experience in years."

"When you first started playing Spec Ops: The Line , you might feel that it’s just another brainless third person shooter, and some parts are kind of boring, that’s what I thought as well, but I was really into shooter games so I finished it and I was totally impressed by its story, don’t worry not spoilers, If you want to know why this game is on the list, and you are interested in good stories, go play it and pay attention to the plot, you will agree my opinion afterwards."
The Saboteur was great, nice art style and such a good soundtrack. Hunted was cool but very flawed.
Alice the Madness Returns is still really cool for those who like the premise. The original Dead Space holds up well. Catherine has aged incredibly well. The Suda 51 games are all still great if you can dig quirkiness (Shadows of the damned, Lollipop Chainsaw, Killer is dead). There are lots more, many have had remasters already though.
Totally agree, Alice the Madness Returns was good, and Split Second mentioned in the article was not bad as well
I always felt that Saboteur was under appreciated, I really did like that game a lot. It was a real shame when Pandemic got shut down.
New discounts for Bethesda games include Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition for Xbox 360 at $10.19, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition for as low as $11.58 and more.
Forbes: At the PAX East Composer’s Panel, an interesting question was posed to composer Kevin Riepl: aside from Aliens: Colonial Marines, had he ever poured so much time and work into a soundtrack only to have the game suck or go largely unnoticed? When a game does as poorly as Aliens: Colonial Maries did, critically, it’s very rare that people then attempt to hunt down the soundtrack. Likewise, when a game releases to a mediocre or lukewarm fanfare, the soundtrack rarely sees publication.
I love co-op in a game. I love working together with a partner to complete/achieve the objective. Ive put alot of hours into res 5 just playing though the levels over and over with a partner. helping each other out, o sh1t a manji has grabbed him, "better go break his jaw with a roundhouse kick"
Haha is that an insult? It's slightly less bad than Resident Evil 5?
I looked into this game. I was really excited since it was a co-op RPG, then I found out it's online co-op only, and that there were only 2 characters, and there was no customization, and it's less than 10 hours long. Now I don't want it.
Sigh...It's games like these that make me want to play MMOs so I don't beat the game in one sitting. Most modern "RPG" devs aren't even trying anymore. They think people want more and more streamlined games when most of them want more and more depth.
"Best Co-Op Game since Resident Evil 5"
Uh, Left 4 Dead 2 anyone? I like Resident Evil 5, but I doubt it's the title many people think of when they here 'Co-Op'.
