I remember playing Metroid II, where I killed the Queen Metroid with 5 health left and my last missile. I was so surprised - in those situations you always hope that you just about manage to kill the boss but that is the first and only time it's happened to me so far. All endings on Zero...

I always assumed 'Gaydar' was an overexaggerated myth, but I'm starting to believe that there is some truth behind it nowadays - probably people just being able to spot things thanks to their own life experiences (and more effectively than I used to think). EDIT: this might not actually be...

I think it's more that somebody might see someone they admire on this list without realising that they're gay, giving them reason to pause and think for a second. It's also interesting in general e.g. I didn't know Derren Brown was gay until 5 minutes ago :D

Castle crashers looks fun, so does Alien swarm. I think I need to start making a list :D EDIT: I haven't played Fable II but have (obviously) heard of it. Looked up the co-op, sounds like another good option.

So no co-op puzzle games then (barring the Mario Party mini-games)? I keep getting an image of the sidequest in Majora's Mask with Kafei in the thief's hideout whenever I think about a co-op puzzle game. Hunter the reckoning games have got fairly good reviews, sounds slightly different and...

I like old, old co-op games like Battletoads, Contra, Double Dragon but I think he might get annoyed if we run out of lives and have to restart the whole game, lol. Little Big Planet has been recommended a couple of times, but alas the PS3 is one of the only consoles I don't have. Feel free...

Tales of Vesperia might be a good idea - is it for the 360? I'll look into the other Kirby games too.

I'm not outright ruling out shooters, but they need to have something other than just being a shooter, if that makes sense. Like.... Jet Force Gemini? Where you can play as Floyd and all you can do is shoot, but it's as much an adventure/exploration game as a shooter. Oh! Maybe arcade shooter...

Kirby Superstar is one I had in mind, actually. Great game - do any of the newer ones have co-op/ well done co-op? The camera issue with Tales does put me off playing that co-op, but that general style of game - where you can make progress instead of half an hour of fun playing multiplayer -...

True, I didn't think of New super mario bros. wii. That's one idea :D Also it doesn't have to be a new game, in case anybody has some obscure old gems worth mentioning. EDIT: The lego games are co-op? Interesting.

Hey Escapist. I recently got a boyfriend who, although he doesn't play any games by himself, is trying to be interested for my sake and wants to play them with me. Which is good, except I can't really think of many co-op games that aren't fighters (Street Fighter IV, Super Smash Bros. Melee...

Isn't the whole point of Lady Gaga to be a turn-off? It's one of the reasons I find her likeable, to be honest - she's doing it for the lulz in my opinion, not because 'sex sells'. Her videos are mostly non-sensical and bullshit, but again, I like to think she's doing it on purpose just to...

Luigi's Mansion is short, you can basically blast through it in one sitting if you're bored one day. I like self-contained games like that, where you can just go "Hey, I'm bored", pick it up and play it through to the end. My desire to replay games is sporadic so I usually can't be bothered to...
