I feel very strongly about maintaining old skool couch gaming. It's something that feels like it's slowly being fazed out, with just a few games that cling to it (one of which is Call of Duty games, so fair play to them).
While my friend was up a few weeks back, we made a point of making sure we played some Gauntlet together and also Broforce. Both games were so much fun to be played sat shouting at each other and the screen, working as a team, sometimes griefing each other for a laugh.
Gauntlet endless mode is a great addition to the game and we managed to get to the 34th level of the procedurally generated dungeon, which is one level more than I ever managed on my own! Sadly, I belief Arrowhead are no longer going to put out anymore content for Gauntlet. It's a great game though and I still dabble in it.
Anyone who reads this blog will known I have a huge weakness for arcade style games. Easy, pick up and play action games that give you a buzz and make you laugh out loud. Some of the first games I bought for my xbox 360 were the downloadable arcade games, bomberman, joyride, arcade ice hockey and more. I think when added up, I've played more hours of arcade games than "proper" games.
If you're not sure about this fact and you have steam, then download Expendabros and try it out with a mate or two or three. It's free and so much fun.
