There are many ways to describe Alexandria Neonakis: artist, Candaian, gamer, cutie...tasteful. You see, only someone with a true desire to please her man would fill her Valentines with images of a Left 4 Dead Boomer barfing.

The MTV Multiplayer blog has featured Alexandria's unique Valentines, and we have to admit: they're twistedly adorable. What a great way to celebrate the holiday.

Question: What's better than playing co-op games with your boyfriend or girlfriend?
Answer: Playing co-op games with your husband or wife!

Embedding your proposal in a violent shooter game seems to be a surefire way to get your favorite co-op companion to say, "yes"... It makes sense: what could be more romantic than your initials scrawled in a heart on a safe room wall in Left 4 Dead? Extra points if you place it next to "All infected must die!"

All sarcasm aside, we're happy for any couple that can make it through Dead Air on Advanced, must less A Lifetime Of Marriage on Expert. This article at Hawty McBloggy will make you smile as you read how AJ Smoothplayer modified Left 4 Dead PC and popped the question on his blog. Of course, she said, "yes". In fact, she said, "YES! - on 1/17 OMG I <3 YOU".

Now that our co-op couple has decided to tie the knot, we have to wonder how they're planning the wedding... Can you order flowers on Live Marketplace? Is Rob Zombie available for the reception?

 Perhaps there's something more to co-op other than just games.  Perhaps games help facilitate cooperative aspects in life.  Sometimes you have to give before you can take, and as sappy as that may sound, that's what our latest Co-Op Couples feature is about.  

Uno is a game that two players can enjoy in a different kind of co-op.  It's a gateway to your zombie world and path to your chainsaw gun.

At our house, almost every game is a cooperative experience, even when it wasn’t designed to be. Now, you might be thinking that I lack the understanding of phrase co-op to suggest such a thing. But my roots as a gamer reinforced just that idea.  Sometimes co-op can be found in unexpected places, and in unexpected ways.

Sometimes a relationship just needs a break.  It's a difficult and hurtful time, and one in which your gaming can suffer.  Worst of all, your co-op gaming can stop all together.  What can you do to prevent such a situation?  Read on and find out.

What does Castle Crashers, a Presidential race, women's rights and cake all have in common?  Why our next Co-Op Couples feature of course.  We take a look at how Castle Crashers is a great "entrance" game into gaming for your non gaming partner.

We've all been there.  You co-op halfway through a game with one person, only to finish the second half with another.  Usually it's no big deal, sure you feel guilty but they'll get over it.  But what if the co-oper you cheated on lives with you?  Worse yet what if they are your significant other? 

We've all been tempted by the loot of another.  Read on to find out one man's journey into Mordor...in more ways then one.

Our latest Co-Op Couples feature takes a look at working together as a team, and how sometimes (just sometimes) you need to remember you are playing as a team.  Perhaps Jim calling his wife a wookie is not the best way to get her into co-op gaming, but letting her have a piece of the action while playing LEGO Star Wars is a good start.

Despite blood and gore, Gears of War could be a great game to co-op with your wife.  As our next feature in our Co-Op couples articles will show you, you just need to concentrate on something different.   Read on to find out how a little achievement for collecting 30 CoG tags in Gears of War prompted multiple play throughs of the Xbox 360 title for one member and his wife.

Sometimes you find co-op play in places you never expected to look.  In our latest Co-Op Couples segment we take a look at how a competitive game like Mario Kart for the Wii can be turned into a cooperative experience.
