Rayman Origins has plenty of admirers on consoles, and Ubisoft has finally released their lovely platformer to PC.  Boasting painted backgrounds and drop-in, drop-out co-op player, Rayman Origins drops Rayman in the Glade of Dreams, where he must combat the "nefurrious Darktoons."  He allies with his best buddy Globox and two wizards, the Teensies, to restore the peace, and hilarity ensues.

Players can go through Origins as Rayman in the solo campaign or group up with up to three other players, who step into the shoes of Globox and the Teensies.  You can jump in and out of a game at any time without interrupting anyone's game progression, which is always a convenience to have.
