I have an HTPC in the living room and finally got 2 wireless gamepads, so wondering what would be good local/couch/splitscreen coop games that work with gamepads?

I already know of Jamestown, Sine Mora and Kung Fu Strike. But the more, the better.

Something not too difficult that I could play with my wife would be a bonus... but I want to try the more harder games as well. :p

P.S.

Already have the SNES classics there. :p

Thanks for reminding me about Ice climbers though! I used to love that game as a kid and spent so much time on it with my brother, but I could never remember the name ever sense. Now I can finally replay it!

I'm pretty sure there is a mod for Borderlands 2 on PC that let's you do splitscreen.

There is, I looked into it before. It requires a virtual machine, and playing two games in windowed mode. Not very efficient, unfortunately.

If you like shmups, then Gundemonium. (repeating myself a lot in these threads) And I see you have Portal 2 already, do play the multiplayer, that's the best thing about this game.

I played Dungeon Siege 3 and never even noticed the co-op part... too used to single player or online on the PC, heh. This will be a great excuse to replay it. :)

Several good ones listed here!

Check out this site: Co-optimus

They have a great, frequently updated list of PC co-op games and list which ones allow local co-op.

I never paid attention to that game due to the low score... but now that you mention it and I actually looked in the steam forums, I think I'll grab it sometime soon. Thanks!

There's a demo version of a really old build: http://www.datarealms.com/downloads/ccsetup23.exe

I can no longer find it listed as a link on their site, so I hope it's fine that I'm posting the link. As you can see it's still hosted there.
