Need suggestions for good co-op Xbox 360 Games

I'm looking for a good co-op game for the 360. My girlfriend and I like playing a variety of different types of games together; anything from Black Ops to Portal 2 to Sonic All-Stars Racing. She particularly likes racing and puzzle games. I am also open to a good campaign that could be played split screen as well. If the suggestions could shy away from shooters that would be great, but I realize most of the best co-op campaigns are shooters. All help appreciated, thanks!

@kmdrkul: Portal 2 is a great co-op game, and is a puzzle game so I think it would suit your girlfriend. I also enjoyed playing Dead Island through with a friend and although it does have some shootery (yes that's a word) elements it's a really enjoyable experience.

Take a look at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cooperative_games_for_the_Xbox_360 for a full list, then cross reference that with some of the brilliant GB reviews.

I hope you and girlfriend have a blast, there's still nothing that compares to gaming with company.

@ABritishNerd: Thanks for the Dead Island suggestion. We actually love zombie flicks and I had no idea that it had co-op. Cool find with that list also!

Borderlands is FANTASTIC split screen co-op, but kind of a shooter. You should buy Rayman Origins immediately when it's released. So much co-op fun!

Maybe this will help :)

The Gears of War and Halo series are fun in co-op with friends. Borderlands is good too.

N+ on the marketplace is really fun, my friends and I played that for quite a bit a few years ago./n/61-20773/

EDIT: For some reason when I try to link the "N+", it puts the link at the end.

Thanks for this link, awesome!

I actually own Borderlands but have never tried to do split screen because I remember the menus being REALLY stupid when two people were playing. It was a fun game and wasn't gory in a realistic way so that wouldn't be a bad choice...

Resident Evil 5 and Splinter Cell: Conviction are some of the most fun online co-op experiences I've ever had!

Try Hunted: the Demons Forge, its full of jank and is rough in places but I can be fun if you can look past its issues.

Try some downloadable games like Castle Crashers or Dishwasher: VS

If you like rpgs Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesparia, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 & 2 have local co-op campaigns. Many sports games have co-op seasons. Also games like Rock Band 3 have plenty of co-op goodness.

I played Viva Pinata with my (Then) Girlfriend, that is not stressfull and it is easy to pick up and play.

also i think viva pinata 2 has even easer co-op. ( you just have to make a fence to make sure that dustructo, or what ever his name is doesn't get into your garden )

Deadly Premonition is probably only playable for most people with someone else on the couch. Other than maybe BioShock, it might be my favorite game this generation.

Dead Island isn't split screen, is it?

You know you love me.

As someone else mentioned, look into some XBLA games if you haven't already. That's a good place for some non-shooter coop stuff. Outland, Splosion Man, Fancy Pants Adventures, etc.

Oh God, no it isn't. I must have blanked on the split-screen bit. Disregard that one.

I think it was said but in my opinion Castle Crashers is 1 of the best couch coop games and its only 800points (10$) its a really fun beat um up with some rpg thrown in

Everyone here will hate me for this but I played the Cursed Crusade demo on Co-Op and had a lot of fun while doing so.

Dishwasher series is good from XBLA.

Army of Two (1 and 2) is fun when playing Co-Op

Crimson Alliance.

Kingdom/world of keflongs and lego series.
