As I attend a uni where they don't let me on PSN or steam I was wondering if you guys could recommend some great split screen co-op games on the PS3 or PS2, preferably RPGs or shooters.

I'm currently playing Borderlands and really enjoying it but I'm not too sure how much longer it's going to last as I've heard it's quite short.

Thanks

Spec Ops on MW2 is fun if you are the only person on the planet who hasn't played it yet.

Alternatively, (and I know that I will be flamed for this) split screen on Army of 2 is not in the same league as MW2, but the campaign is a chuckle and is good for 6-10 hours depending on difficulty level and how long you spend on blinging up your guns. Pick a good mate though, because a casual friend may get a punch in the chops! It can be frustrating playing withy someone of a lower ability.

Dynasty warriors. Dragon Ball Z Budokai. Then there was a flight simulator game, maybe Ace Combat.

Contra: Shattered Soldier. It's a freakin' Contra game, and don't try to tell me you've never heard of the series.

The Red Star is also a really good co-op game, and one of the few comic-book based games that are superb. It's like Contra, with a dash of beat-'em-up elements, and the best part is it's like $10 now.

apparently RF5 is great for Co-op. I couldn't stand it single player, but a friend of mine who only played it co-op loved it.

for co-op with my friends, my favorite genre is the "Console Baldur's Gate"... and they were born and raised in the PS2 era, perfected and then withered to almost nothing in the same timeframe. Most notably:

Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance (the progenitor)
Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2
Champions of Norrath
X-Men Legends
X-Men Legends 2
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Fallout Brotherhood of Steel

Diablo for the PS1 actually played a lot like this genre too but was far inferior to the PC version, I still call it the Dark Alliance or Console Baldurs Gate Genre...

And a special note about Fallout Brotherhood of Steel... It was good, ok? I know it has a very stinky reputation, but playing it Co-op was actually some of the best fun I've ever had with a game. Yes, it wasn't as deep or good as the Fallout PC games, I know that. But if you want a game to just sit back and play with a friend, get over it and try it. I thought it was excellent, plus it has the best Intro song of almost any other game.

Splinter Cell is ALWAYS a riot in co-op.

Usually, in single-player, you have no choice but to play it stealthy, otherwise suddenly you're taking it up the butt from legions of AK-wielding bots.

In co-op,suddenly, it's a game of harassment, amusement, torture and just plain trolling. Those poor AI didn't stand a chance. Want to capture him? Get you mate to whistle in one direction, and when he tries to find him you sneak up behind him and grab him by the nuts. Two players and a bot in a dark room is a recipe for trolling. Poor bugger just about goes out of his mind when both of you fire the sticky cameras and whistle and click and gas the room. And you can somewhat pull off an assault strategy, with two of the machine guns and twice the number of targets for the AI, you can deal out far more pain and they won't last long enough to do anything.

Other good games are Resistance, because you play through the good single-player. Bonus points for using the sniper rifle to slow down time (yes, the sniper rifle makes time slow to a crawl) just as your mate is about to make a kill, causing him to fail.

Motorstorm: Pacific rift is also good, because it's got the usual delicious motorstorm gameplay but with split-screen you've got a partner in crime or a prime target (or both). Just avoid the first motorstorm, which doesn't have split-screen).

Hope that helps.

Borderlands
This x100

I've never played a game with a friend that's consumed time without either of us wanting to stop.

ohh and if it is for a friend to play with you then make sure it's a friend that you can have an argument with that wont hate you afterwards.
