I
really dig co-op games...there's nothing like taking on hordes of cheap-ass
enemies with a buddy. Sadly, there are very few Co-op games out there...why
more developers don't add in this great feature is beyond me. At any rate,
below is a very nifty list of Co-op games by "mr bernard langham",
that I found on usenet. I'll try to keep it updated as he updates it... At the bottom, you can see the few updates I've, personally, added to the list based on games I've found that offer co-op gameplay. If you know of any games that offer Co-op gameplay that aren't on the original list, or in the list with my addtions, please email me. |

PC Coop Game List ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Based on a list by Michael <c...@iinet.net.au> The essence of cooperative multiplayer gaming is that of "working together with friends to solve the single player game." Accordingly, the term "coop games" as used herein means games which support simultaneous cooperative network play over the course of the main single-player campaign, or at least individual scenarios thereof. It does *not* include the more common FPS team vs team deathmatch or capture-the-flag styles of multiplay, where one team may be composed entirely of bots and the other of cooperative players (e.g. Unreal Tournament, Battlefield 1942, Joint Operations etc). To be included, strategy games must support full alliance options, where two or more human players with separate empires can pool resources, share cities, engage in trade etc, and cooperate against an AI-run empire or more than one. * = recommended/popular Recent additions RPGs Flight Sims First Person Shooters Strategy/Tactics Fantasy Sims Other |
