Last weekend a buddy and I were goofing off (drinking beer, playing XBox), and I came to a conclusion:

I simply don't have enough XBox games that we can play together.

And by together I mean:

1) We play at the same time (on the same screen, using different controllers)
2) We have the option to play cooperatively (with each other) instead of against each other - for example, it's more fun for us to take on the computer "bad guys" than to take on each other

The only games I have that meet this need are:

Halo
A couple of the "classic arcade games" discs

So I was wondering: what games (for the original XBox, not the 360) would you guys suggest that I get that we'd be able to play cooperatively?

Note: the exception to #2 above is that I would consider racing games where we play against each other - we're just not much for the fighting or FPS games where we'd be fighting only each other.

Another note: I'm not as picky about whether a game is "new" or any of that. In fact, the older ones have some appeal considering they're generally cheaper, as long as the gameplay is fun.

Get Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball. It's not co-op but it's still a lot of fun multiplayer, the game's focus really isn't on competition. Wink

Is that one where two players could play at the same time on one console?

How about some racing games?

I like to check out the $10 bin at Target/ Walmart/ wherever and get "old" games.

That's how I ended up with Test Drive: Eve of Destruction. The figure 8 jump races just never get old.

Ooh, good call.

Get a Burnout game. Quite simply the most fun a racing franchise has ever been.

Both Battlefront games are coop. X-men legends, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, thats all I can think of off the top of my head. I am always looking out for coop games my wife and I can play.

Do not laugh at this one but one that is a good co-op game is Lego Star Wars it suprisingly good

Not to go off on a tangent, but they're making a sequel for the 360. Wink
