Hack & Slash: Awesome Co-Operative Games for New Couples

A very wise person once told me, “If you really want to get to know someone, sit down and play a game with them.” Honoring that sage advice, I hereby propose we all skip the idle chit-chat at the swanky restaurants and learn a little bit more about that someone special in our lives with one of these fantastic co-op video games.

Castle Crashers
A unique combination of old school “beat 'em up” action and RPG elements has earned The Behemoth's Castle Crashers a reputation for being one of the most fun co-operative games, period. Playable on PS3, Xbox 260 and PC, this versatile and endlessly entertaining game allows you to explore a variety of levels, earn XP to enhance your characters and smash enemies into the ground with devastating magical abilities.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game
If you're at all a fan of the Scott Pilgrim book/movie series, I'm almost certain you'll love this Ubisoft adpatation. A flawless homage to combat-heavy classics, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game offers you a chance to play as the lovable Scott, Ramona, Kim or Stephen Stills (with unlockable characters like Knives and Wallace). You also, of course, earn a lot of coins while kicking the crap out of pretty much everything in your path. Find this one on PSN and Xbox Live Arcade.
