I’ve been holed up in an flat, affectionately dubbed the ‘brotel’, with my son for weeks – and we’ve revisited the first game we ever played together I have spent the last three weeks living with my 22-year-old son in a two-bedroom flat he has dubbed the ”brotel”. The report also notes that We cook curries and watch Lanterns . We barbecue meat and analyse Tarantino movies. We get pizza and we play video games. Boy, do we play video games! The first game I ever played in co-op with him was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in 2009, when he was five. He wasn’t the most accomplished sidekick, not so great at placing a mobile gun turret while under fire from what seems like a bazillion enemy soldiers, but we had a laugh. It started the video game bond between us ahead of his sister introduced him to Banjo-Kazooie and Rayman, and he stopped being a preschool warmonger. Probably for the best. So how would it be tackling the same game nearly two decades later?
