I just got a new friend who didn't play games growing up and now he wants to start playing. Things that experienced gamers take for granted--quickly understanding control schemes, being able to manipulate both analog sticks at the same time, knowing where the buttons are on the controller without looking--he can't really do any of that yet. We started playing Littlebigplanet and have been having fun; Guacamelee has been good too albeit still a little challenging for him. Can you guys recommend me any couch co-op games that are beginner friendly? Anything with camera control is off the table--we tried Portal 2 and my friend could hardly navigate (hopefully we'll get there.) I have a PS3 and 360.
...anyone?
Is the Scott pilgrim game on the 360 local? If so, you should try that.
If you have even a semi decent pc, speedrunners and double dragon neon are fun.

ya you can play scott pilgrim coop splitscreen on the 360.
OP you should also try castlecrasher, andminecraftto have him learn the aim/walk scheme on a controller.
but you have to very patient.
Castle Crashers on 360 just used the left stick for movement and it was mostly jumping and attacking, don't remember blocking.
Castle crashers for sure. Any old fashioned side scroller as well.

Good suggestions, looks like I'll be re-downloading Scott Pilgrim. Speedrunners looks neat I might even get into that by myself.

wow can't believe I forgot about Castle Crashers, thanks guys
any kind of sidescroller should be fine for the most part, how about rhythem games too, OP? rockband or guitar hero could provide some good times and they have easier difficulties that are super simple to get used to aswell

Castle crashers for sure. Mount your Friends could be good for learning where the face buttons are.

Any platformer would good. Supermeatboy or Braid are very easy to learn but hard to master, they force you to git gud. Might as well try Diablo 3. These games are piss easy but give you a hang of the controller scheme.

not really into the music in those games, thanks for the suggestion though.

Mount Your Friends looks pretty fun, thanks!

is Diablo multiplayer more fun than the single player? I saw a friend playing it a while back and it looked kinda sluggish and grindy.
