Video game suggestions

My son really likes first person shooter games on his X-box but he doesn't like to play alone, he prefers a split screen two person shooter.

he loves all the Halo games.

need some suggestions for new two person shoot em up games for xmas.

Borderlands 2 I'd suggest.


I think that can be played split screen co-op.

The Gears of War series were all spitscreen Co-op as well I think, but that's slightly more mature.

How old's your son?

Left for Dead were a great couple of games too - never played them splitscreen myself but those are creepy and great fun!


edit: Check out this website - you can filter the results for local splitscreen and FPS.

he's 11, will check out gears of war, not sure about the left for dead, he's not all that into horror games or movies though.


thanks!

Violent video games lead to mass murderers!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding, this isn't SC.

It may seem over-hyped, but the Call of Duty series never ceases to disappoint...

Really?? I get my bum kicked on there all the time.

No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible.
Believe me I tried.

I was going to suggest CoD, but have zero experience with it on Xbox (Anything). How's the split screen? I heard it's limited to 2 player for the current version?

For me the campaign on CoD has sucked for the last several games. Just uninspiring and dull. Maybe an 11yo would like it but I think it's even more adult than Gears.
The online multiplayer was usually good fun, but as a community it's chock full of hooting dickholes. I wouldn't want my young kids on there.

FWIW I'd go:

Borderlands
Gears
CoD

The other option is to go backwards - not sure which Halo games he's played, but Halo 2 and 3 were the pinnacle of the series for the campaign I reckon. If he's younger he may have missed out on those.
