After yesterday’s diatribe about the lack of multiplayer games available, I have some good news: not only has Jo played Pro Evolution Soccer 5 this evening (and actually thought it to be okay, despite the learning curve needed to play efficiently), but there are two more games out that support co-op mode.

Both Justice League Heroes and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance pay homage to Diablo, with their hack’n’slash orientated gameplay. We’ve played (almost exactly) similar games (X-Men, X-Men 2, Champions: Return to Arms, Dungeons & Dragons Heroes, and the Baldur’s Gate brace), and I’m especially happy about Ultimate Alliance, since it’s from the same team as the X-Men series.

The cold, dark evenings where excellent TV series do not occur look very promising indeed.
