If you have a Move there are some great local coop games available for it. Tumble is a good one, you can play with a single controller (you pass it around between turns). Start The Party is alright too.

Yeah Guardian of Light is a good co-op game.
There's also
Metal Slug
Metal Slug 2
Metal Slug X
Rayman Legends
Shock Trooper
Brothers: A tale of two sons
Jak 1
The Sly Trilogy
Ratchet and Clank
Portal 2 (I think digital is available only in EU PSN? has an excellent co-op mode if she doesn't mind First Person view)
Dead storm Pirates is available on EU PSN and is an arcade on-rails shooter and I think it is narmy and corny enough for ANYONE to enjoy playing
Adventures of Cookie and Cream
The PSX Spyro and Crash games are worth a look
If you don't mind old school beat'em-ups there's the Dungeons and Dragons collection
Mind you I listed some SP games but they're still worth looking into

Bringing my post here from the SAO thread:
SAO Lost Song Second Trailer
This one is quite long and it actually shows gameplay. Skill palettes are there so my worries were put to bed, gameplay is still the same. The gameplay looked so fluid and fast that I was scared that they dialed back the combat by making it work through button presses only. Graphics look stunning, and the flying combat looks great. I'm ready for this :3

I thought Strea wasn't playable?
It looks like she is.

Oh cool. I'll just download the demo first before thinking whether to buy it or not.

Miku is part of the 6th deal of Christmas, so if you want Zero to like you, you should probably buy it.

I don't mean setting up accounts--I've had those forever. I mean checking whether Joysound is region blocked or not. The previous Joysound app on the PS3 was region blocked at a hardware level (though not IP), but the Vita app has no block at all.
Finished Akiba's Trip on Vita yesterday.
The presentation is really funny and well done when you start the game. The dialogues, Email and Twitter stuff add a lot to the ready crazy outset of the game (stripping vampires to beat them). In the end, the presentation got a little bit slow though with too much talking.
Unfortunately, the gameplay doesn't really hold up. The camera needs some work, the framerate isn't stable and the areas are all too small. The brawling is ok though the targeting and combos should be better.
Overall, I enjoyed the game but I would only rate it as a 6/10 because the gameplay issues are too glaring and the presentation doesn't hold up to the end.

Flyhunter Origins - Vita
This game is like some lost licensed GBA 2D platformer. It is wonky, buggy (including having to start the level over) and has a terrible framerate but still is a lot of fun. Nothing new here but it does manage to have a certain amount of charm including cutsey cut scenes and pretty good art. Not hard at all as it seems to be aiming at a kid market that I am not sure exists on the Vita. I would never recommend this over the Raymond 2D games on Vita except maybe for a kid where Raymond can get very difficult. Good value as there is a good amount of content for the $7.
7/10
I do have to admit I am platformer junkie so mediocre platformers are still a lot of fun for me.
I kind of only bought it to show support for the game. I got so much enjoyment out of PDF. That and I've been really good about buying games the past couple of months.

Yeah I can understand that. Just don't like to spend so much on a single game unless it's for physical goodies, myself. And I miss when $20 was more or less the max for a "season pass", was fine with that if I really like the game.
Enjoy!
I had my last exam for the year today too, but sadly, writing some small papers and working on some presentations due in January will keep me on my toes all throughout the holidays.
Ah well, not that it ever hindered me from procastrinating and putting tons of hours into videogames instead, but I will have and hate my guilty conscience.
I'm debating on getting Yakuza 4. Never played one, but was always kinda interested and for 20 it seems kinda awesome. I just don't know if I even have the time for it.

SO HAPPY! Tower of Guns looked fun when I saw it last and am so glad to see it coming to PS4.
I have stopped buying any Steam games, because all seem to come to PS4 eventually.

^ Tower of Guns was pretty fun, I did a video a while back of the PC version. Plays a lot like a Doom roguelike, fairly difficult, lots of double, triple and more jumping. I didnt' get so far though, I never play roguelikes long, with a few exceptions. Surprised it's coming to PS3 too.
There's a solo mode (that's largely imbalanced against you since it's just co op mode without co op) and local co op but I have no idea how it works without PS+ and can't check myself.

Thanks! Hope your work over the break doesn't consume all your vidya time.

Doodle God -- probably one of my least favorite games of all time. It's pure trial and error-athon. You start with the 4 elements and try to combine them to create hundreds... steam+ship = steamship, that sort of thing. But... it's so obscure at times that you end up just clicking every combo looking for ones you missed, and totally stop 'thinking' about might make sense, since so many barely do, and so many you want to work don't. I want it to be a great puzzle game, like that once-popular web game where you try to guess words in a big web, but it just doesn't have that magic.
Dragon's Crown --
glad I got this on ps+. It's beautiful, and fluid, and I can tell it's great... but i just hate 2d brawlers and, sadly, like Odin's Sphere and Muramasa before it, it will be retired unfinished. At least I learned this time and didn't shell out cash.
(for some reason brawlers and fighters turn me into a button masher, even though i have no issue playing other complex arcade games correctly)

There's no complex sequential input in Muramasa or Dragon's crown, I don't know why you'd mash...

Because some people mash when they're playing a fast paced game with any sequential inputs. I do the same thing. It's not like I consciously say to myself "I should mash", I just do.

Felt the same. 2D brawlers are not my thing. I do like 3D God of War brawlers tho.

Dragon's Crown isn't even really sequential though.At least with Sorceress it was basically "pick one of 4 attacks". Now Bayonetta I have issues with, mostly because you need to time your inputs and it's "hold" input feels really weird. I guess I'm spoiled by Skullgirls' cancel-based inputs and don't have a great sense of timing repeated inputs. Also I hate charge characters.

All 2D brawlers (on a purely input/muscle memory level) play similarly, regardless of if they actually have propr sequential inputs. It's the way brawlers play. And it makes some people mash. All there really is to it.

Eh I actually liked it a lot. Between it and Dragon's Crown, I'd say I enjoyed the latter more, but Muramasa was pretty fun still.
I just didn't like how the combat revolved around abusing the i-frames from Secret Arts and blade switching. Every enemy even down to grunts also seems to have armor in their attacks, which meant you pretty much had to use those 2 tactics i mentioned in order to not get hit.
i just couldn't really get into it. At least the food looked delicious

I loved Muramasa, only major problem I had with combat is the TERRIBLE way charge attacks work. I just spammed weak attacks (or specials if possible) to break their blades, took less damage than trying the stupid hold down and whatever it is.
But I didn't really see a need to massively abuse invincibility frames or anything. Yeah, you'll take damage, but I only died a few times, mostly my fault. Several times on the Raijin boss, but I wouldn't call it unfair. I only played momohime's story and haven't gotten the true end yet, but I thought it was mostly quite good. I found very few enemies to be annoying beyond anyone with a sword you have to break because of the aforementioned charge attacks.

I just kinda played the game without thinking too much about it so you may be right about it gameplay wise. And yes, I actually went around trying all different plates just to see what they looked like.
Siliconera has this article about a conversation with Bandai Namco's Senior Public Relations, that they might keep bringing niche games, like Sword Art Online and Project X Zone. I hope that means more Vita games as well.

I like their attitude in that interview, stark contrast to Capcom's "nyeahhhhh we're gonna need about 2 million sales to continue a franchise"
Nice article.
Man, if we were to ever get iM@S, it would be glorious. Cause i sure as hell ain't paying $55 for those ios games.
Nice to hear about SAO too, but its kind of expected. The game was #1 in NA and EU for 2 months straight, and just recently had a sale so it should continue doing good.

This physically hurt.
But other than that, they know which Bamco game we want the most. I hope they deliver.
