Now that Diablo III is on the PS4 and Xbox One with its glorious 1080p visuals intact, there has never been a better time to delve deep into Blizzard's demonic, strangely loot obsessed world. Hell is a horrible place, so it can only be a good thing that you have the option of bringing 4 friends along for the ride. Quite simply, it's one of the best and addictive local multiplayer games in recent memory. A console setup is ideal, as any Diablo III session has the potential to turn into a marathon of kill-the-monster-and-collect-its-loot goodness. A comfy sofa is as essential as a bacon sandwich on a hungover Saturday morning in this context. It also makes sense economically, because playing online would require every player to buy both the game and a subscription to Xbox live or PS Plus. So just get whoever earns the most to buy a copy. Sounds fair, right? If you don't have a shiny new PS4 or Xbox One, fear not - you can still indulge in local co-op on the PS3 or Xbox 360 if you can tolerate the inferior visuals and frame-rate hiccups. In short, there are many ways to play Diablo III, but local co-op is certainly one of the most appealing and cost effective.
