Army of Two - 2007 Take the concept of Metal Gear Solid 4 regarding privatized military companies, make a cliff notes version of it, package it and you get Army of Two. Army of Two has the generic third person shooter formula, the Agro co-op function (which is pretty much one acts like bait and the other shoots in a very simple degree), and some co-op engines such as "I'll help you up the ledge", slo-mo back to back (which is pretty awesome the 1st time), one shoots-one steers, and the human shield with a car door. They are fun mechanics, but the game over-uses them to a degree that they all become old, especially the back to back mechanic since you realize you have unlimited ammo and you are almost invincible during this eliminating the tension. The story is like MGS4, but in the simplest of forms. The bad guy here wants to control the PMCs, in this case people like Rios and Salem who are just basic mercs to rule the world and the crazy double agent is going to help him. Rios and Salem, although their dialogue is hilarious (there's a point where Salem asks Rios who his favorite Wu-Tang member is out of nowhere and Rios gets mad), are in themselves the buddy cop movie stereotypes. Salem is the wise and funny guy while Rios is the noble giant who'd always do the right thing, think the Timon and Pumba of video games. The game is stupidly fun though with mindless shooting, hilarious bantering between the 2 leads, and one of the coolest sub-villains. Phillip Clyde, the double agent, is very fun to watch since he is an incredible douche and even gets a Glasgow Dark Knight Joker Smile out of nowhere near the end just because he is crazy! The game is worth borrowing or renting, not buying.
