Three New Co-Op Indie Games Make Great Stocking Stuffers

News
Twitter facebook googlebuzz

This gaming season has been a good one for co-op gamers.  There are lots of AAA retail titles that just might be sitting under your Christmas tree, Menorah, or Festivus pole right now.  A few inexpensive, small downloadable games featuring co-op have recently become available in Xbox Live's Indie Games service.  In between long sessions of those big titles, these little co-op stocking stuffers are the perfect fit.  All of them have demos, too, so go ahead and queue them up!

Dual Zone - This one is a bit hard to describe.  Players control spaceships floating in a metal arena, and have to dodge enemy UFOs trying to collide with them.  50 levels and 2 player co-op are included. Full game is 240 MS Points.

Wool (pictured above) - Not too many games let you play as sheep dogs, but Wool does!  Up to 4 players team up to herd the sheep in the right direction through 30 levels.  Full game is 80 MS Points.

Storage Inc. - Players use forklifts to move boxes into the right areas in a warehouse.  Four players and 50 levels, all with co-op support.  Full game is 400 MS Points.

A reader also sent in a tip for Platypus, a side-scrolling claymation shmup with two-player local co-op. These all look like fun!

I'm not saying these games suck, but it's really sad when avatar clothes cost more than these.

"I'm not saying these games suck, but it's really sad when avatar clothes cost more than these."

It is sad that the avatar clothes are so expensive, but it is not sad that you can buy a (sometimes fun) game for as little as $1.

It would be nice if these posts would include whether the games are local co-op or live co-op. A lot of people are only interested in one or the other.

The code monkeys (Nick and Mike) are always working on site improvements. This is something that has been discussed.

In the meantime, though, you can click the links that Marc has provided in the article, and the Xbox Live page for each game tells you whether the game has local or online co-op.
