5. Resident Evil 5

This one should probably rank a little higher, except for the fact that it hasn’t been released yet. But still, the idea of a co-op Resident Evil game is enough to justify a spot on this list, even though we have yet to play it. It won’t be long though, and once March 13 finally hits we’ll all be able to spend some quality shooting zombies with our friends.

4. Guitar Hero: World Tour/Rock Band 2

Music games are always a good bet, and they have the added benefit of being able to be played by up to four players at a time. The only real problem is deciding between Guitar Hero and Rock Band. My opinion: Guitar Hero has much better instruments, while Rock Band has a larger and better selection of songs.

3. Bionic Commando: Rearmed

Old school games like Bionic Commando are tough as nails, so it’s always a good thing to have a buddy along for the ride. In the PSN remake Rearmed, this is an option, as players can choose to go through the entire game playing cooperatively with a buddy. But things aren’t all easier, as the enemies and bosses are adjusted when you bring another player along.

2. Warhawk

This over the top, multiplayer shooter is great, especially if you’re willing to put the time in to learn it properly. The level design is incredible, and there all sorts of cool weapons and vehicles to play around with. The only downside is that the game has garnered somewhat of a dedicated following, so playing with people you don’t know will almost definitely result in some frustrating times.

1. LittleBigPlanet

It may just be a simple platformer, but LBP is an absolute blast to play with friends. Players can either help out one another, or mess around creating all kinds of chaos. There are even a number of levels that have areas that can only be accessed by two or more players, creating even more incentive to bring along a pal.

The Top 5 Multiplayer Games On PS3

Finally! I’ve been slowly making my way through Fallout 3 since late December, but I eventually stopped due to some frustrating freezing issues. Hopefully this latest patch will alleviate some of that frustration so I can finally finish the game. Anyways, on to the headlines:

• Bethesda has issued a patch, which should help with some of the issues PS3 owners are having with Fallout 3.
• The downloadable content for Mirror’s Edge will finally be available to PS3 owners on January 29. Some new levels will be free, others will cost you.
• If you were planning on picking up Skate 2 keep in mind that the game will include a mandatory 2GB installation, so keep some space clear.
• Rumors are swirling that the PS3 will see a significant price cut in April.
• A pair of new Bruce Springsteen tracks will be available for Guitar Hero: World Tour this week, and the best part is that they are free. For a limited time anyways.

Today in PlayStation: January 13, 2008

No…?

Zounds, my spell is broken. But I’m still using the word to describe Activision’s new trailer for Guitar Hero World Tour because it’s been a while since I’ve seen such a high-profile name release such an impotent ad. What does this video tell me about the game, exactly?

No gameplay footage at all, from what I can see. This is a little worrisome for a game that’s supposed to be out this autumn.

Guitar Hero World Tour borrows the Fisher-Price instruments schtick from Rock Band. I don’t know who’s going to have room for another set of drums, guitars and microphones, but it’s not going to be me.
