Top Five modern console co-op games

Will Halo 3's co-op mode recently confirmed, Army of Two around the corner and online console multiplayer more popular than ever, co-op gaming is flourishing. So out of the recent releases, what are the top 5 co-op gaming experiences for consoles today?

SmokeyMcBear6868d ago

Best co-op game ever made??? Why Contra of course

REbirth6868d ago

PlayStation3606868d ago (Edited 6868d ago )

Too, and way too much biased here. Seeing it's a 360 site, it is only showing 360 games. People, please report this. How did this get onto the front page? Should be at least be edited and read "Top 5 Xbox 360 Co-op Games".

Please change this, or everyone please report this, it is extremely biased and misleading information.

Ugly American6868d ago

While Contra was the best coop title of all times, the title says MODERN coop. That would not be Contra. And looking at the list, there is only one 360 exclusive game: Gears of War. Which, by the way, really is the definitive coop experience right now. The ability to join a game in progress without ever stopping the game is ridiculously good.
Rainbox Six, Splinter Cell, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and the LEGO Star Wars Trilogy are all multi-platform. R6 Vegas's coop is addictively fun, of course, I bought the 360 version over the PS3 version for the achievments and the solidness of Xbox Live. The same thing can be said about Splinter Cell.
So I need somebody to explain to me how this list is COMPLETELY Xbox specific...

xhi46868d ago

they have only xbox multi plat and xbox 360 eclusives. Resistance: Fall of Man...co-op was great. If this same article was on a website that did not have the name 'XBOXER.tv' then I would not have minded as it is indipendant with no bias, but here, with the site being the site it is, the bias is just extremely clear. The Heading of the site also is "xbox360: Top Five Console".

PlayStation3606868d ago (Edited 6868d ago )

I do agree with you, it does say MODERN co-op, however Smokey specifically said "Best co-op game...EVER MADE." So no one is saying contra should have been included in this list. He was just adding his opinion to a completely different list. No harm in that bro. :)

Ugly American6868d ago

Sorry if I came across as not agreeing with the Contra thing. I do think Contra is one of the best coop games ever... I think I got my "THEY'RE almost ALL multiplatform" message mixed with my "I love Contra, but we are talking modern" message. My bad...

PlayStation3606868d ago

no biggie. I got what you were saying, I just wanted to make sure everyone here understood what Smokey said was not intended to mean something else. We're all brothers here.

What the heck, bubble+ for you buddy. :)

What, no crackdown?

That game was great on co-op and the recent updates made it even better.

the_gaming_guy6868d ago

I expected to see Crackdown! I can't get enough of playing that with my mates online. I nearly PMSL sometimes.

FadeToBlack6868d ago (Edited 6868d ago )

Its the top 5 MODERN consol coop games. And GRAW 2 shoulde definatly make this list if a lego star wars game did.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle23d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7723d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde30d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy30d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12530d ago (Edited 30d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga31d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199231d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga31d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman30d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger31d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box31d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion30d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7231d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7531d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit31d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14931d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7731d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
