Most definitely! We have all the ways to contact each other and get something going! :D

Thanks! Yeah, competition is great and all and I won’t deny that I really enjoy it sometimes, but a lot of the time the people you meet online can be really toxic, as I’m sure you know (probably much better than I)! That’s probably why I mostly prefer singleplayer, because I can’t be bothered to deal with people like that sometimes and I like being free to approach a game however I like. But it’s also really nice being able to play together with people and the more relaxed atmosphere that coop games engender is something that I love.
Those are both great games! I hope you guys had fun! :D

Haha not to worry, I’m pretty sure everyone’s done that in the Wii Super Mario games! I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve killed and been killed by friends! For a coop game, it sure does seem to encourage a lot of frustration. :D

It’s nice to hear that other couples have reaped the benefits of playing together as well. My boyfriend and I have played PvP together, but I don’t think it was even half as relationship-strengthening as playing coop and having to really work together.
We haven’t played Borderlands 2 together yet, but I’ve heard that’s a great one to play with other people. I guess it’s time for us to have a gaming date again soon! :D

Thanks! Yeah, there’s something about sharing a gaming experience with someone that’s really special and if it’s someone you enjoy spending time with, it’s usually a lot of fun.
I have played some online coop, but mainly with strangers unfortunately. Luckily that’s been changing for me too recently. I haven’t touched my Xbox 360 in a while, but I’d love to hang out with you online when we get a chance. I’m looking forward to finding something to play with you! :)

In this age of Moba’s and other online games that can easily bring out the worst in people it is super pleasant to take a step back and play a game where the only thing that matters is having fun and beating it as a team. I’ve been really enjoying beating up the computer with some friends in Age of Empires 2 HD and I think tonight is going to be spent playing one of my all time favorite co-op games – Left for Dead 2. Great piece. Glad to know I’m not the only one who loves taking a step back from competition but not quite going it alone :)

Reading this reminded me of the hundreds of times I accidently killed my friends playing the Wii super mario games…the whole jumping on them causing them to fall into lava…I swear it’s a broken game mechanic, totally not my fault!

Playing coop with my hubs is something that we love to do together. I think it actually has strengthened our relationship, team building, problem-solving skills, and has fostered a better understanding of how the other thinks. We are playing Borderlands 2 now, but we’ve played Portal 2 together, the first Borderlands, and countless other games. Great article! :)

This is a lovely piece. :) I agree with everything you’ve said. Before I invested in console gaming and even now, playing with other people has always been a fun experience. Finding something to share is just an amazing thing to have. I also like the aspect of working together and having fun. What’s also good about online co-op, as I have discovered in the last month or so, it’s also a good way to play with people you’ve met and made friends with online. Maybe miles and countries may separate us, but having a game you both own and has a co-op feature is the best way to hang out and have fun…until the day comes when you can do that in person!
