Bloody Good Time prioritizes its robust arsenal of weapons more than anything else, but there are still various modes and maps to work through. It's not Ubisoft's strongest work, but the weirdness oddly works here, especially with the right players involved.
There are few games that have gone through a more difficult development process than Duke Nukem Forever and it really doesn't feel like it was worth such effort. The story brings back Duke Nukem's original antagonist, Dr. Proton, and features a gloriously self-aware storyline. The game may look somewhat questionable, but it's a refreshing change of pace for how it's set in the past and features melee weapons more than the standard projectiles.
Zeno Clash II adds a lot more to the equation in terms of weaponry and scope and it also has multiplayer this time around, which is a major improvement. Sanctum 2 is a satisfying title from independent developer Coffee Stain Studios that's set on a distant planet in a highly advanced future. Shooters that are set in space or futuristic versions of society are so plentiful at this point that they can sometimes be a wash.
It featured a full co-op campaign with four-player competitive features, allowing you to see who is pulling the most weight while you play through the story. And, of course, introduced the incredibly popular Zombies mode. Call of Duty: Black Ops, developed by Treyarch just like World of War, once again was a one of the better co-op experiences in the series.
Although it dropped the competitive co-op feature from World at War, it had a highly developed Zombies mode that took the spin-off mode to the next level. The original Gears of War blew away everyone when it released toward the beginning of last-generation. It was a killer-app that helped set the Xbox up for a successful generation.
Playing through the campaign now is just as fun as it was then. Pick up where you left off from the original, and if you have a full crew, take a trip down memory lane with one of the OG horde modes.
Gears of War 3 caps off what was one of the best franchises on the Xbox Gears of War 3 upped the ante with a four player co-op campaign, as well another iteration of horde mode. Castle Crashers is a game that desperately needs a sequel.
Halo 3 sent off Master Chief at least for a few games anyway in a memorable way. Halo 3: ODST not only added a co-op campaign that was the first to not include Master Chief, but also, introduced Firefight, a beloved co-op horde mode that was arguably more popular than the rest of the game. Halo: Reach is the final Halo game to be developed by Bungie and it retains all the polish and fun gameplay from their previous efforts. When BioWare initially revealed that Mass Effect 3 was going to have multiplayer, many were horrified that it would be tacked-on nonsense.
If anything though, they nailed the co-op multiplayer, and it was the finer details of the story that needed some more TLC. Portal 2 is one of the greatest games of last-generation that took the original Portal, a surprise hit, to GOTY level. Rayman Legends is widely regarded as one of the best platformers in many years, and Legends allows up to four other players to join up with you in its colorful and wonderfully put together co-op story mode.
Definitely among the best Xbox co-op games of all time. While the Spies vs. Instead of just adding a companion to the main campaign, the game offers a specially-made gauntlet of levels where teamwork is not an option but a necessity. The movie was a cultural turning point for a generation — but very few people around me knew about the game. The soundtrack by Anamanaguchi is also a highlight, and it makes pouring hours into this beat-em-up a total pleasure. While mowing down waves of terrorists with a friend in Terrorist Hunt is fun, what puts this game on the ranking is the co-op campaign.
Playing with a friend makes the whole experience much better than just barking commands at the AI. You and up to three friends will choose from a knight, a magician, a huntress, or a monk, and use their unique abilities to keep waves of fiends from destroying your Eternia Crystal. Each character has some active skills along with towers they can place to help defend a corridor — be it by dealing damage, making enemies slower, or otherwise impairing their progress.
Developing complex strategies with your companions and seeing them through with grit and clenched teeth is lots of fun. The Ultimate Evil Edition features content from the Reaper of Souls expansion along with other add-ons. Most importantly, it includes the Crusader and Necromancer classes, and the ability to transmogrify your clothes.
If you and up to three friends are ready and willing to embark on a long journey toward higher levels, better equipment, and hours of mindless bloodlust, this hack-and-slash RPG is the way to go.
It plays almost exactly like its old-school predecessors, giving it an authentic feel that takes you back to the glory days of the genre. But games like Streets of Rage 4 aren't all too common nowadays, so it's a joy to return to such a fun, straightforward style of action game. Streets of Rage 4 does have modern visuals and more elaborate animations, which helps give it a decidedly new vibe.
It doesn't overstay its welcome either. With just 12 main levels and four secret retro levels, Streets of Rage 4 is the perfect game to play over the course of a weekend. Like other games in the series, it's better played with friends on the couch.

Much like Destiny 2, The Division 2 is an always-online shooter designed to be played alongside friends. A third-person cover shooter at heart, The Division 2 places you in the role of an agent attempting to quell civil unrest in Washington, DC.

The lengthy mainline story is filled with engaging missions and a ton of side content. When the credits roll, you still have plenty to do thanks to a serious amount of challenging endgame content. The Division 2 features online co-op for up to four players for main missions, while some raids support up to eight players. See our The Division 2 review.
