I’ve been looking for a list of games that offer cooperative gameplay in order to find some games that my wife and I can play together.  Co-op games are games where multiple players (most often, two) can work and play together as teammates.  I wasn’t satisfied with what I was finding with a web search, but a quick search of Wikipedia pointed me to the article on Cooperative gameplay.  Within the article there is a sample of video games with Co-op mode, which links to the category of Computer and video games featuring cooperative gameplay.  In the category one will find a fairly extensive list of games.  Each article for each game features a synopsis, the platform that the game can be played on, and other information that may help in deciding which games to choose.  Anyone have a favorite two-player game that is fun for gamers and non-gamers alike?

Officials from major technology firm IBM have announced that the company is adopting the use of video game and virtual world technologies as a means to train new employees as well as acclimate new hires to the company’s cultural values, decision-making regimens, and required technical skill sets. The program, called IBM@Play, will be part of IBM’s $100 million investment in new technologies

The IBM@Play program will take advantage of existing virtual world platforms, such as the massively multiplayer online game Second Life as well as India’s Planeshift.
