September’s going to be a pretty big deal for me, I've made a few changes to my usual way of life - not least of which is the decision that after 22 years of sponging off my parents; I’m taking the plunge and am going to move with my girlfriend.

As much as I’m going to miss being able to get away with the bare minimum around the house, free food and so on I’m really going to miss gaming with my brothers; see I’ve got 3 younger brothers – and since the days of the N64 they’ve been my favourite Players 2-4 (in descending age order, anyone else with 3 siblings knows ‘how we do’).



But let’s not let this turn into a sadblog! I’ve bought another 360 that’s been living with the missus, and now I’m ready to start my new collection, it’s a great excuse for a Gold subscription and maybe play some of my older games through again! But what’s most important for me is some killer co-op games I can play with the boys back at the homestead.

That’s why I’ve come at the community’s mercy – what games would you recommend for me to play online?

I’m definitely going to be picking up FIFA10 and Modern Warfare 2 when they drop this autumn, but are there any games I could pick up on the cheap that I might’ve missed out on?

Back at home my brothers have games like Rainbow 6 Vegas: 2, Saints Row 2 and Crackdown that have online only co-op modes I’ve never tried - not to mention I could probably pick up copies for myself for about £20.

So (to summarise neatly in a question) which are the essential games to play online co-op with people you know on the Xbox360?

Cheers!
