PC Local Co-op Games

[STRBramley]

I've scrapped console gaming and I've setup my PC to be a media centre using XBMC and various other plugins including Steam which works great.

The problem is I like to play games with friends locally instead of online which PC games seem to lack.

I have two Xbox 360 controllers that I use with the PC so what I'm looking for is some good two player local co-op games with FULL controller support so I don't need to use K+M.

I've seen Sniper Elite: Nazi Zombie on Steam which claims to be local co-op but I'd like a list of games that people have played and know to be two player locally.

Check the tabs at the bottom for price categories. If its highlighted in Green, it means it first needs an online connection.

I suspect that there aren't that many unfortunately. The very nature of the PC platform is that you're up close to the screen, rather than reclining on the sofa, staring at a large flatscreen.

Even the likes of Diablo 3 aren't as good on the PC as they are on the 360, imo. The PC version, although graphically much prettier, is far too zoomed-in and doesn't make for a good co-op experience. Online with a friend is ok, but it's definitely one of those that plays better on the console.

Have you looked into the likes of Injustice? A couple of games on Steam now insist on a gamepad for play. I'm sure they will cater for co-op games more in the future.
