If exclusive novelty is on your mind fable 2 might do, though I haven't play it.

I've tried out Fable 2, and cooperative is pretty fun. One player is the main hero guy and the other player is some "hired" mercenary. The only problem is that because the camera tries to keep both characters on the screen at the same time and is only allowed to zoom out so much, you can get stuck in corners, behind walls, on other NPCs, and all sorts of objects. This becomes a pain when enemies get spread out and both of you are trying to go for separate enemies on opposite sides of a room. The camera will track both players as far as it can then it stops the characters from moving any farther out, so if you're in the middle of swinging a melee weapon, all your blows hit thin-air. The range of ranged weapons is a nice addition. Personally, I like the repeating rifle or the flintlock.

If you don't have enough money saved up just to buy one game, then you suck at saving. :P

No, you suck at SAVING, not "You should get a job". If you spend all your money on a game as soon as you get enough money for it, you should stop buying so many games and go play something open source. That way, when something awesome like Fallout 3 or whatever tickles your fancy at the time comes out or you come across one you haven't seen before, you'll have the money to buy it already.

Well, normally to get money, you either have to have a job (prostitution being one of the oldest jobs around) or you have to be able to steal it (another old profession). The saving part, while important, is dependant on a way of aquiring money first.

ha
i get income from random jobs
but spend most of my income on guitar gear and stuff
with games, i usually wait til i have like $150 left over or so
and then go buy a few games when they're down at $20 or so
the fact of the matter isn't that i don't have some source of income, it's that i don't get enough to pay for gaming and musical needs
and that i'm too cheap to spend it on games at $60 a pop
i did get dead space 2 days after release, but it was one of those once in a blue moon occasions where i actually did
but really, i've been mooching off of friends recently
even with Bioshock, which was oh-so-praised, i didn't buy it, i randomly got it from a friend who happened to be going through games when i was at his house and he said he was done with it, so i took it
=P

yeah, and i can't drive...don't even have teh permit yet...so, JOB job is out of the question

i would resort to piracy of 360 games
as i know someone is thinking about suggesting
but it's not worth the fine if i get caught
and there's no guarantee they'll work, especially since (and i looked into this) my 360s both have Toshiba-Samsung drives and the hacked firmware is seeming a little lacking in comparison to the Hitachi firmware in terms of stability
