Best Local Co-op Games for Xbox 360, PS3 & PC

August 10, 2012 by Ian Miles Cheong

Best Local Co-op Games: Have a buddy or two you’d like to game with at home? Here’s a selection of games to keep you busy.

PlayStation 3

#5 Borderlands

Borderlands can be played alone or with a group of friends. On the console, Borderlands comes with a split-screen mode that allows two players to traverse through the post-apocalyptic environment of the planet Pandora, killing mutants and looting their bodies. It’s a good old action RPG played in a first person perspective. 

#4 Rayman Origins

Rayman Origins is available on most platforms as a cooperative game, but it’s best played on a big screen TV, and it goes without saying that the PlayStation 3 has more than enough power to offer what is arguably the best version of the game. Rayman Origins takes the series back to its roots, away from the insanity of the Rabbids, putting players in control of Rayman and his equally agile friends as they run through numerous maps while freeing electoons and lums. 

#3 Fat Princess

Though primarily designed as a game for 32 players, Fat Princess has been updated to support four player split-screen mode and plays with the basic goal of rescuing the Princess to bring her back to the team’s base. While attempting to rescue your team’s princess, this hilariously offensive game has players feeding cakes to the enemy team’s princess to make her heavier and more difficult for the enemy team to rescue their own princess from your base. 

#2 LittleBigPlanet 2

LittleBigPlanet 2 is a platform game which encourages players to bust out their brain box and get creative with the game’s awesome variety of level creation tools. Players can create maps and experience others’ creations alone or with a friend. 

#1 Portal 2

Though primarily touted as a PC game, Portal 2 plays best on the PlayStation 3 thanks to its split-screen co-op mode. Two players, taking on the roles of the intelligent robots Atlas and P-Body, must cooperatively solve five sets of test chambers created by GLaDOS.
