Just gotaaaa
Hey all.
Got a average equipped PC for the family for xmas (has a nvidia ION graphics chip).
Tried running Trine on it and it runs ok.
I'm wanting to get some coop games now that there are finally two steam capable machines in the house. However my younger brothers can't play anything excessively violent. What does the GM community recommend?
Good "Family Friendly" Coop Games from Steam
Coming from a man who loves co-op games. I can help as much as I can.
There are not that many co-op games on Steam actually, and all of them are pretty violent.
Killing Floor, Modern Warfare 2, Kane and Lynch: Dead Men, Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2 (can turn gore off, and it's just as good as a T game), Rogue Trooper (The multiplayer is actually a co-op mode), Titan Quest (Like Diablo, but set in Greece, rated T and blood can be turned off), Dawn of War II (Has co-op campaign, Rated T I think), Neverwinter Nights 2(Actually this isn't a steam game, but it's on Direct 2 Drive).
You can look into those, and judge the level of violence yourself. Kane and Lynch is the most mature out of all of those.
" @Jimbo: Titan quest looks like it's probably ok so around that level. "Well, the co-op works pretty well in that game. I'd recommend buying the Gold Pack that comes with the expansion. Just be sure that you only play the expansion, because if you play the first one then move your character to the expansion, you have to restart the entire game.
RTS games might be a good idea. However, the implications of the vast majority might infer something you don't want to. Dawn of War 2 is a good game, and you could have a great time playing that, teaching team management and such, and the bright goofy characters could be entertaining, albeit a bit gory for children.
I'm sure there's other stuff.
Something I did a while ago with a younger family member was play an adventure game through with them. Something like Monkey Island/Indiana Jones/Day of the Tentacle, they really bring people together as you try to progress with people. Not co-op at all, but a wholly fun family experience!
