Fun, couch co-op games I can play with my wife are few and far between. Over the years, I've tried to get her into Lego games, but for whatever reason she can't stick with them. (She was excited about Lego Star Wars until she killed me about 15 times in the first level with her Lightsaber. I told her it didn't matter--it was a Lego game after all--but she felt too guilty to keep playing.) The same thing almost happened with The New Super Mario Bros., but that game was so fun she stuck it out 'til the end, bubbling during all the hard parts. Last spring, I picked up Toy Story 3, more interested in the sandbox mode than the campaign. However, when I realized the campaign was co-op, I asked my wife if she wanted to give it a try. Because it was Toy Story, she abided. And, to my surprise, she had fun! So much fun, in fact, that every night, until we finished all ten or so levels, she'd ask me if I wanted to play. Since then, I've been unable to find a game that would draw her in. The latest Ratchet & Clank adventure seems like it just might be that game. Please, PixlBit, give me a beta code and help strengthen my marriage!
