Here are the Co-Optimus' Staff Picks for the Top 5 Co-Op Games for the Rest of 2008.
5. Fable 2 (360, Lionhead/Microsoft, October 21st)
Co-Op Experience: 2 Player Online and Offline Co-Op
While the original Fable may have over promised and under delivered, Fable 2 is going to do it's best to live up to the hype. On the co-op side of things, this game takes a unique stab at it. As you play the game you will come across spheres that represent you friends and where they are in the game. You walk up to the sphere and you can join their adventures and take on the trials together. When you want to leave you can easily go back to your campaign. It also sounds as if the visiting character will affect the host’s world unless a safety feature is turned on. Your dog will unfortunately not come with you.
