I'm going to buy a second controller, so what games on PS3 from past 2 years are good for non-splitscreen multiplayer? Any genre.

 

[valentine71]

Dead Nation
Pixeljunk Shooter 1-2
Super Stardust HD

 

[Gomu Gomu]

Calling all Cars.
Pixel Junk Racer.
Castle Crashers.
Bionic Commando: ReArmed 2.

 

[Liberty4all]

Isn't Pixeljunk um Monsters (was that what it's called? the tower defence game) it's also non splitscreen

Yup, great MP game.

 

[bjaelke]

Little Big Planet
Pixeljunk Monsters

 

[Sword Familiar]

Trine's good.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Castle Crashers.

YES this game is still amazing and is fun as hell to play!

 

[TripOpt55]

LittleBigPlanet and CastleCrashers.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Scott Pilgrim vs the World
Lego: Star Wars / Batman / Indy / Pirates
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 & 2
Heavy Weapon (probably my Favorite, played it with loads of people who don't play games much and had good fun)

 

[ULTROS!]

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Castle Crashers
Trine

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Bionic Commando Rearmed 1 + 2

Some real good shit!

 

[jetsetfluken]

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
Shank
Castle Crashers

 

[Durante]

Comet Crash (<- best TD game ever)
Hard Corps: Uprising
Gundeadligne

 

[corporate cheerleader]

Lara Croft: Guardian of Light

Should have been the first reply.

 

[Elixist]

LBP2 fun as hell in co op

 

[Drek]

Everyone has hit all the majors I can think of, but I'd recommend giving Sacred 2 a shot if you're into hack n' loots. Its a technical mess but if you can live with that it gives PC level hack n' loot character development depth and a massive open world. I just wish the developer was still alive and would've been able to further tune up their game and release the expansion on console.

 

[Betta Lines]

FIFA.

 

[onken]

Fl0w

 

[opticalmace]

I still play NHL 09 with my friend when we can.

 

[throwawayname]

Dead Nation

 

[Cels]

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2

There is no couch co-op for this game.

 

[Zezboob]

Lara Croft: Guardian of Light

Should have been the first reply.

Definitely true.

 

[mclaren777]

Comet Crash (<- best TD game ever)

I also recommend CC and I believe it's free right now for PS+ members.

 

[Duffyside]

Little Big Planet
Pixeljunk Monsters

These are the two best answers. Monsters especially was so good a friend of mine who doesn't even really like games demanded I not play the game without him because we had so much fun figuring the level strategies out together.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Um, any fighting game you can think of falls under your conditions I think.

 

[TheSeks]

Marvel Ultimate Alliance?

 

[Cell_Biology]

Hard Corps: Uprising is great.

 

[cagelessrat]

I haven't played it yet, but I just saw dungeon hunter alliance on PSN. It's a Gauntlet type game.

The Lego <x> games are pretty good and variously either use the "psychic rubber band" model or a pretty cool "dynamic splitscreen" model where as the person walks away and depending on the angle they're at, the screen carves itself up differently:

Why limit yourself to new games?
I primarily game on my 360, so most games I buy get bought for that. I don't have many PS3 games and the ones I do have don't have local co-op or multiplayer. But I love to play games with someone in the same room.

So recently, I've been buying older games to play with my buddy. I picked up Gauntlet Legends for PSone for about $5 shipped on eBay and we have been having a blast playing that. Brings back so many memories from being a young'n and playing the game at Fudruckers or the mall.


I'll second the Lego games as well. They are so much fun, single-player or co-op.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Hard Corps: Uprising is great.

Agreed.

 

[Rewrite]

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.

Such an amazing co-op experience.

Castle Crashers is good too.

 

[Dead Man]

Flow
LBP 1+2
If you want to go back slightly longer than 2 years, Soul Calibur 4 is pretty fun too.

 

[El-Suave]

NBA Jam

 

[Dragon]

Scott Pilgrim? That's not split screen is it?

 

[subversus]

thanks for the answers, a lot of fun stuff out there. I wish my friends had less dudebro preferences, at least women aren't making a face when I'm playing LBP 2.

 

[strem]

My son and I just finished Pixel Junk shooter and are now playing Super Stardust and having a blast with both
