PC local multiplayer recommendation thread

I think Flatout Ultimate Carnage have split screen, they also have party mode with the stunt games in them.

 

Seems like you're right! Great suggestion

Great topic as I bought an Xbox360 receiver for PC too a while ago

 

Guacamelee! Gold Edition

 

Had a blast playing this and apparantly they're working on a sequel too.

you probably already know but portal 2 and l4d1 and 2 can do split screen.

Yeah, Portal 2 is pretty playable with a controller. Haven't given L4D (2) a try, but it's probably thougher.

Yeah heard about this too . How easy is it to control the whole thing with a controller? Can you navigate menus etc? One thing I don't want to end up with is a setup where I have to use a mouse from my couch .

Can't speak for L4D 1/2 (From what I know, you need console commands for split screen in those), but Portal 2 is excellent.  Split screen works very well (no console commands) and there's a single time you need to pull out a mouse sadly (unless they fixed it), when you exit the community test menu.

If I remember correctly you don't need a mouse for Portal 2 at all, as long as you stay in Big Picture mode.

Ya for L4D you need to use console commands. but the controllers work well. Me and my brother have spent a lot of time doing some split screen run trough's

- The 2 Trine games are great coop puzzle-solving

- Renegade Ops, fun top-down driving game

- The Watchmen games are so bad they become good in coop, I enjoyed them

- Dead Pixels is worth a try, seeing how cheap it is

- Dungeon Defenders was cool, never tried coop but has potential

- Jamestown

- Hammerwatch

- Magicka

- Shank & Shank 2 (although too hard for me and my wife, never got past the first bosses)

- Kung Fu Strike (same, was hard)

- Rocketbirds

- Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is awesome

- Capsized
