Best shooter games..for 2 player

[pumpkinhead]

My wife and I love to play "shoot em up" type games, not sure what the difference is between third person shooter and first person...

can you guys give me your opinion on the best shooter games that allow 2 player mode on the same computer with option to connect online (for when the wife is not around).

Preferably something with good graphics and fun guns! lol

The new or old Serious Sam games are like that.

Its tons of fun to play co-op.

Borderlands

ETA:

Although you cant to that on the same computer, you would need 2 computers. Fire up an emulator and go at it in Contra?

Serious Sam.
Get the super duper collectors edition on Steam right now. 1 and 2, both old and updated versions.
Awesome, pure awesome.

Just saw screen shots from serious sam...looks fun. I did see they make multiple ones like serious sam1, 2, 3..etc..

are all of them 2 player on the same computer?
are all of them able to be played online?

with my new setup, would love to be able to hook up 2 monitors and throw my wife on one and blow her up without her seeing what I am up to. LOL

First person:

Third person:

There are very big differences between both in terms of gameplay and mechanics. For example, third person view would allow you to look behind cover while your character is still safely obstructed. First person, on the other hand, would not.

I think you need to define "shooter" games because I dcan't think of any FPS style shooter games on the PC that are same PC co-op.

Do you mean shooter as in FPS, like Call of Duty or Battlefield games or do you mean shooter as in side scrolling arcade type games like Raiden or Gradius?

Thank you, i was pretty sure this is what it was.. but I didn't want to make a comment I was not sure about. As you can tell I am not a huge gamer, just never had the rig for it. But about tooo I am still rocking the old N64 !!!

I am Talking about FIRST person shooter...Same pc. If you remember the old james bond, golden eye for nintendo.. something like that would be cool. Basicly be able to sit in same room on one rig , with 2 monitors.

who doesn't want to be serious

good luck on PC. doubt you'll find anything, especially not same pc with different screens.

you want to look at consoles, but even then i'm not sure how many fps games on consoles do split screen any more.

Buy another computer and buy Borderlands.

With 2 people, Borderlands is an awesome game. Not to many games have cars that you can drive - one person drives and one person fires the rocket launcher or machine gun.

Another fun game is Serious Sam.

left 4 dead / left 4 dead 2 is fun for a couple of people.

If you enjoy horror/survival type games Resident Evil 5 is a blast in co-op. It's third person and doesn't support 2 player same screen though.
