This is a great multiplayer game when you get a group going. Stuck on PS3/Xbox. Met some cool people playing this before, and a complete package would be an insta-buy for me.

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair should have been part of the Castlevania Dominus Collection! It's one of the best offline multiplayer games I've ever played! It's a lot of fun to play with friends in the same room! The boss battle in the third stage, which takes up almost the entire map, is spectacular! This game deserved to be included in the last collection, which even uses sprites and scenarios from the three games in the Dominus Collection! But I hope Konami fixes this injustice! Castlevania: Harmony of Despair deserves to be re-released for PC so we can play with our friends, whether online or offline, which in my opinion is the best way to play!
Dropped an INCREDIBLe amount of hours into this one when i was younger. always happy to play healer with charlotte or run as fast as possible with sonic boots. Please bring it back, I regularly tell my friends about this game as one of the highlights of multipler castlevania.
Yes, it will definitely be a great addition to the game collection on the GOG platform. Step into the shadows of the hell house: Castlevania is back in all its pixel-powered 2D glory. Call upon the series' most hallowed heroes and vanquish your nemesis, Dracula! All-new multiplayer modes like 6-player Co-op and Survival have been whipped up for you, too... but enough talk. Have at it!
playing this with a bunch of friends locally was such a blast, grinding for treasure, dying to dumb traps and easy bosses and navigating the map as the screen got smaller and smaller as you moved apart gave me some great memories

Resident Evil Code: Veronica
Resident Evil Code: VeronicaResident Evil Code: Veronica is the fourth video game in Capcom's Resident Evil survival horror series. The game continues the survival horror gameplay of its predecessors: the protagonist explores the surroundings, fighting monsters and solving puzzles. However, it is the first game in the series to do away with pre-rendered backgrounds using a fully polygonal 3D engine instead, which allows for features such as real-time lighting and camera movement. Still, such movements are only used sparingly, and the use of perspective is mostly unchanged from earlier installments: the camera automatically switches to different static angles showing protagonists, monsters and rooms from different spooky viewpoints.

Resident Evil 6
Resident Evil 6Resident Evil 6 is the ninth video game installment in the Resident Evil series. It continues the struggle against zombies infected by the new highly virulent C-virus. The game uses the same over-the-shoulder view as Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5, however with a new gameplay mechanic that allows players to slowly move while shoot. Players can select between three scenarios featuring multiple characters and intertwined storylines, and within these scenarios both stories and action cross paths. At key moments during the game, up to four players can join together online to tackle a specific situation, with some stages seeing the usual partnerships swapped to further increase the depth of gameplay.
