As some people may look at my profile, im playing 2 games.. borderlands and dragonica online. You could think, "whats about it?". Well the very special think about it is that i play those games ONLY and ONLY with my best friend, and only playing together.
Really playing a game and ending it with a partner for a coop its as satisfying as watching a movie with him. Really, you get everything easier and you have some help when you face something tough. And i mean on PC, in the cold and lonely PC. Cause on console you can see your friend on the other sit. But in this case you dont.
Just grab a good coop game, headphones with mic, and a program for audio chat like teamspeak, skype or ventrilo, a Real Life friend (you do have rl friends, right? =) and youre in. Why having a lonely and boring solo adventure when you can play it with a partner the same way. Of course, you cant do this on all games but on those you can or those specially made for it, its extremely cool, try it.
What games you say? I recommend these:
Borderlands - Im actually playing it, solo it and get bored in 1 hour, coop it with at least 1 guy and have tons of fun, get a 4 coop for and you got a PARTY!.
Diablo 2 - Try leveling with a partner... without the rushes that normally "online gaming" implies.
Left 4 Dead - Never played it but heard its also tons of fun.
If you lack money, try ANY massive multiplayer rpg and play and level ONLY with a partner, trust me, it makes stuff easier, funnier and less adictive (for those who think addictive games are a problem).
