Online gaming has been a big thing for years but it exploded during the 7th gen.  As a result, many gamers have lamented being able to just play with their buddies on the couch.  Some have even said that's why they only play Nintendo--because the want to play with their friends on the same couch.  I'm calling bullshit!  http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5648086  I've owned every console this gen and I've had a ton of experiences online and via local co-op!  A few that come to mind are

  • Kameo: ELements of Power
  • Gears of War 1-3
  • Halo 3-4 (plus spin-offs)
  • Hunted: The Demon's Forge
  • New Super Mario Bros. Wii
  • Resident Evil 5-6
  • Little Big Planet 1 &2
  • Kingdom of Keflings and World of Keflings
  • Fable II-III
  • Splosion Man and Mrs. Splosin Man
  • Castle Crashers

So, before complaining about the lack of local co-op and split screen (Versus mode is still also available in many racing games and FPS titles) let's make sure there IS a lack of split screen and local co-op titles.  Game on, gamers!!
