I don’t know Nick Pino of Tech Radar, but for a couple of hours he was my bickering spouse as we played It Takes Two, a co-op romantic comedy “rom-com” adventure game from Josef Fares. We played the two-player co-op in the first preview of the game staged by Electronic Arts and Fares’ Hazelight Studios.

It was quite fun. The game is coming on March 26 on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC via Origin, and Steam for $40. I played it on a PC with my Xbox game controller, and Pino played long-distance, over the internet, on the Origin platform.
