My wife is normally not into video games, but she enjoyed playing Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons with me (she controlled the big brother and I the little brother). Are there any similar good PC games to this that we could play together?

The co-op campaign for Portal 2 is excellent (best part of the game really).

came here to suggest Portal 2 as well, but nothing new since two other people already did. There's also a bunch of mario games that have coop modes.

Sorry if I was unclear--I meant a hotseat PC game where we can both play at the same computer (all we own is a shitty laptop and a decent PC).

Thank you!

Get a hold of one of those old TIE Fighter/X-Wing games, and you do the keyboard while your wife handles your joystick, or vice versa. Those games had so many buttons, it could work.

I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

The new Binding of Isaac: Rebirth has a local co-op mode and it's also casual in the sense that literally anyone can manage play it. It has some extreme themes though so maybe it's not your cup of tea, it's a really great game though

I don't know how deep or even if you're into either Lego or Star Wars but Lego Star Wars is a really nicely made game, really enjoyable...

But probably not the right thing for you :D

Maybe try this link, there are shown a few games

I thought the phrasing was perfect...
For the record I too wish there were more games that the OP is after. I have to get off my pc to play with my wife....
We had a blast a few years ago with some boulder's gate on ps2 - now going to try out diablo 3 on ps3.

Both excellent co-op puzzle games.

I recommend borderlands 1,2 and the pre sequel. Left for dead 2, call of duty can also be fun online spilt screen. And you can do zombies together.

Worms if you wanna play at the same computer.

I also highly recommend getting some horror game and having one person play while the other person screams like a girl (usually my role).

I definitely find it enjoyable with certain single player games to just take turns playing. So there's always that

I'd second some version of Worms (I like Worms 2).

Hot Seat AND Co-Op? As in, you have to be on the same team?
If you don't mean that you have to be on the same team, it might open up more options, but either way, you could play some games from the Heroes of Might and Magic and Civilization series (Personal preference for Heroes 5:Tribes of the East and Civ 4).
Expect them to take a long time though. :/

Heroes of might and magic has a hot seat mode (or at least Heroes 3 had one) and it's pretty fun. Haven't played the recent ones tho, so I can't comment on that but the third is great fun and you can play together !

Hot seat meaning we're both at the same computer at the same time. I love the Might & Magic series but I don't know if my wife would be into it. Does Portal 2 work like that or do we need two computers?

Right now we're playing Papers, Please. Very enjoyable game.

Portal 2 needs one computer each i think. It can be played multiplayer with one monitor on a console though if you have that. I still recommend Bonkheads, it's easy to learn but borderline impossible to beat, it's so much fun. =)

Actually I think you can split screen on PC

Do you have 2 controllers(or 1 kb mouse and 1 controller) or are you using the same keyboard?

If 2 input devices:
Castle crashers(nice side scroller beat em up rpg)
L4d2
Bioshock 2
Emulators + roms up to what ever your pc can run
Gauntlet
Sonic
Painkiller
Contagion
Dynasty Warriors

It would really help if you listed specs
Limited Edition, lets do some simple addition, $50 for a T-Shirt is just some ignorant bitch shit.
