Welcome back to our weekend gaming plans thread—as always, tell us your video game-related hopes and dreams in the comments. This weekend, I’m going to fire up the new Gauntlet on the PC (pictured above) and give it a try with my wife, Anna. Although I wouldn’t call myself a Gauntlet aficionado, it’s a cooperative multiplayer game, so I’ll give it a shot. Regular readers of WAYPTW? know that ever since falling in love with Super Mario 3D World last year, I’ve been on the lookout for other games that are fun to play cooperatively with friends and family of different skill levels. They’re hard to find. Kirk Hamilton wrote a piece over at Kotaku earlier this year called “The Best Video Games To Play With A Friend,” and it’s an excellent roundup, as you’d expect from Kirk. My only quibble with it is that a lot of the games he chooses are single-player affairs that he suggests you play by passing the controller between friends.
