Console Obsession says: "As cute and quirky as Push Me Pull You is, I would say there's not a lot to keep you coming back to play this game about conjoined worm-people and at £11.49 on the PlayStation Store, admittedly it is a tad over-priced; our recently reviewed Coffin Dodgers didn't offer much in the way of content, though at least it was reasonably priced. The premise of the game is to wrap yourself around a ball any way you can and try to keep it in your area of the playing court to gain points. To do this, you control a strange worm with a human head and hands at either end, stretching and shrinking its body and wriggling all over the place in order to get a hold of and keep the ball; the characters have no other skills other than stretching and shrinking their bodies, and this needs to be used strategically in order to win."
Lately I’ve been playing a lot of cooperative games. Countless party titles have been endlessly loading into my steam queue as friends are more eager to visit during these warm summer days. This week I checked out Overcooked and it surprised me.

Just as anyone in their 30s cut their teeth on dorm room Goldeneye (1997) and Mario Kart 64 (1996), I can only hope some freshmen right now are figuring out the best way to settle an argument is with some two-on-two worm wrestling. Online multiplayer can connect us to everyone in the world, but local multiplayer games can bring us closer to our best friends (and help us make a few new ones in the process). Push Me Pull You proves that the “new arcade” of previous years is not dead; it’s been developing into something weirder, funnier, and brighter than we’d expected.
Harry explores Push Me Pull You, a weird indie game about wrestling and friendship which pits people joined together (ala CatDog) against each other.
