Top 5 Co-Op games

Ahhh! this post was a little late (I still got it on the right day but I usually have blogger post these things at 5 AM).

5. Ape Escape Pumped and Primed (PS2)
Well to start off, not too many people liked this game, I don't know why since me and my friend thought it was amazing. It's not all of the platforming gold Sony has brought to us over the years in the Ape Escape series it's more of a... ehhhh... party game... kinda... you see basically the story is that Spike and the others join a tournament in a virtual world (which explains why Casi can compete) and so the tournament consists of little challenges like collecting the most coins before the time runs out, or a boat race, or even tank battles and obstacle courses. But the best part is being able to customize your characters with new costumes, summons, special gadgets. How do you unlock all of the costumes, summons, and special gadgets you ask? Well by getting certain scores or beating levels within a time limit, how can you unlock things for more than one character faster and funner? With a friend of course, because the co-op in this game is great and the bosses are awesome too, oh did I mention the AMAZING CELL SHADED GRAPHICS? Well if I didn't then this game has such good cell shaded graphics during the cutscenes you might think your playing a ps3 game for a second.

4. Splinter Cell (uhh whatever platform)
I'm gonna make this short and say most Splinter Cell games are great, I say MOST because I absolutely hated double agent, if you want a good Splinter Cell game just get Pandora Tomorrow or Chaos Theory. Oh and if you don't know how fun Co-op in these games can be just go watch Splinter Cell co-op theatre and you'll know.

3. Nazi Zombies
Well Call of Duty World at War had great multiplayer but to be honest the story mode just pissed me off to the point in which I just wanted to stop playing and just started watching TV again, but Nazi Zombies is in my opinion the highlight of the game because instead of killing each other your teaming up to kill zombies, and come on, who doesn't want to shoot a zombie with an alien blaster or a wonderweiff (did I spell that right?). The game is great because it feels more like a separate game instead of just a mini-game, and you realise your progress of how you get better each time (Now that I can open the Pack-A-Punch machine with my friend in Der Riess I bet we can kick a$$ in Shi No Numa). Overall the game is great and whoever you are playing with will have a blast, especially if they like old style survival horror/defend the castle kind of game.

2. Halo 3
Ok, ok, ok, I know if I put Halo 3 as number 2 on my list then people will get mad and I will probably get a whole bunch of hate mail so just hear me out, Halo 3 would be higher on a list of good MULTIPLAYER games, because honestly my number 1 pick is better for co-op(sorry Halo). However I must admit when I was one of the first kids in my school to get Halo 3 I remember having a blast playing co-op with my friend. Usually Halo just aggravates me because everyone seems to know every map by heart so when the game begins and I have an assault rifle everyone else has the spartan laser and the gravity hammer inside of a scorpion, but playing the game cooperatively was awesome because instead of trying to kill each other we were killing giant scarab tanks and sticking aliens with plasma grenades instead of sticking each other with plasma grenades.

1. Little Big Planet
Oh man I LOVE this game and could not recommend it more for ps3 owners especially because of the new game of the year edition. This game is great and defiantly lots of fun for pretty much anyone, because this isn't just some stupid kids game, it's really fun no matter how old you are. The best part about this game is that if you can play your ps3 games online then beating story mode doesn't come close to meaning you don't have new levels to try, once you and your friends beat story mode you can play levels that other people made online and even make your own levels to share them with other people. Basically when people ask what you can do in Little Big Planet just respond with "anything" because most likely it is true.

5 ps3 games I really recommend

Since my brother is the one with the 360 then I have a ps3, so these are some games that I recommend if you just bought a ps3 or plan on getting one. This is not a top 5 list it's just 5 games I really recommend.

5. Soul Calibur 4

Ok if your not a fighting game fan then obviously you won't want this one but if you are into fighters then this is one for you. For starters you don't have to be a tournament winning champion to unlock every character like in Street Fighter 4, and there is an awesome character customization mode that is just so awesome, especially when I am playing as Ichigo or Sephiroth online. Oh and did I mention that the bonus characters in the game were characters created by 5 manga artists, one of which is the creator of Sgt. Frog. Oh and just in case you know nothing about this game... you can play as DARTH VADER and YODA.

4. Call of Duty World at War

Ok the story mode in this game is cool but really frustrating and so if your not a Call of Duty master then don't expect to beat it on anything besides easy. However for me the story isn't why I love the game so much, it's for the multiplayer, and mainly Nazi Zombies. Before I talk about Nazi Zombies I want to say that the multiplayer is really fun and the maps are really cool. Ok let's get down to Nazi Zombies, the first map by yourself is very possible to get far, I have no idea about the second, the third is possible to get to at least round 9 by yourself, and the newest map is pretty much impossible to get far at all by yourself, so if you get what I'm saying it's better to play with friends. Basically it's a "try to kill the zombies before they get in and if they do then you have to kill them before they kill you" type of survival horror game.

3. Resident Evil 5

Well I'm going to be short about this one and say if you liked Resident Evil 4 and have a friend to play with this is the game for you, however if you actually plan on playing the game by yourself then you should think twice because Sheva's AI is probably the dumbest AI I have ever seen. Oh and that stupid mirror puzzle will piss you off if your playing with a friend who hasn't done that puzzle before (you will end up dieing at least 10 times before you actually succeed).

2. Metal Gear Solid 4

For some reason in Metal Gear Solid 4 the long (and I mean HOUR long) cutscenes are actually more interesting than annoying, much like Kojima's other games (like Snatcher or Police Naughts) Metal Gear Solid 4 seems like it is a movie when you are watching the cutscenes and then it feels like a (no duh) game when your actually playing the game. I have to admit the first time I played the game I played it for the amazing story, but my second playthrough was mainly just to do things like snipe people in the first level or shoot down helicopters with the rail gun in the second level. Oh and did I mention METAL GEAR ONLINE, yes an online Metal Gear Solid game, and if you live anywhere besides Japan then Metal Gear Online actually comes with the game... but to be honest... well... it is pretty difficult to download and took me at least 3 hours to download and set up, and no that's not an overexaggeration, but it is actually pretty awesome and if you get the special map-pack things then you can play as characters like Solid Snake and Raiden.

1. Little Big Planet

Ok in Little Big Planet you can do anything and I mean ANYTHING! There is no other proper explanation for how awesome this game is besides, you can do anything, the story mode is really fun and gets funner the more people you have. The story mode is also how you get all of the cool materials and objects in the game. Making your own level in a game has never been so awesomely fun, seriously this game is so awesome. The only reason that this description is so short is because there really is no way of describing how awesome this game is. Oh and did I mention all of the DLC and cool costumes? Yeah costumes like Kratos from God of War and Meryl, Raiden, and even Solid Snake.

Well sorry if this was a little short but believe me if you have a PS3 I REALLY recommend these games. Oh and remember I post every other day so keep checking for new posts!
