Killzone 2. Come on, it was perfectly suited for co-op, I mean was there ever a time you didn't have an AI controlled ally who could have been a second player?

Dragon Age
I would love to play a mage in a 4 man party exploring the deep roads. The only problem that I could see with this would be the fact that one person would take all the decisions, but I guess there could be a vote system put into place.

The Elder Scrolls games, I guess Oblivion would be most prominent, the Fallout games, both old and new, Mount and Blade: Warband and M&B: With Fire and Sword spring to mind.

Tekken 6. The Scenario mode.
Yeah, it has online co-op, but that's not much good when my sister who's epic at Tekken and could help me through that joke of a campaign is sitting in the same room as me.

I think Final Fantasy XIII would work quite well with more people too. Annoyed with team-mates doing the wrong thing all the time? Put people in charge of 'em. Problem solved.

^^ This, totally this, other FF's might work too, but obviously not as well. I always though Kingdom Hearts would be interesting co-op, have a friend or two play Donald or Goofy, so it solves the whole waste-your-mana/health-pots-on-the-stupid-things problem I've always faced (yes I am aware of the different settings, but nothing seems to work like taking the pots out of their hands and never giving them back.

P.O.W. for the original nintendo. Me and my cousin spent hours trying to figure out how it worked as "the cover art has 2 guys, so it has to be 2 player" It was single player. We were just dense.

Mechwarrior (the whole dam series, well, at least the PC ones, mech assault sucked)
half life series
fallout would have been fun
crysis (really, anything added to crysis would have been nice, story, gameplay, co-op)
Mount and blade (i hope the new one has story coop, though that is not advertised)

Star Wars:Republic Commandoes!!! it was an awesome game with a squad of four, but you could only LAN with one other person and no split screen. WAIT! were we supposed to be talking current gen?

OH! and Shadow of the Colossus!!!

Grand Theft Auto IV. Why can't I play split-screen Rockstar?!
I guessing largely due to the fact that it'd make the 360 catch fire. Trying to run two different sections of the city at once would eat through that meagre 512MB of RAM faster than I eat through pizza.

Although I too would love to get some co-op GTA action going.

Mount and blade. Siegeing (sp?) a castle with two smaller armies rather than one big blop of men would have been so much better.

Hmm, I suppose Armored Core and maybe Front Mission?
AC4A had co-op.


Fallout or TES games. Seriously, having a human companion exploring shit with you? Awesome.

All fallouts (Even Van Buren demo =P)
More Metal Gear Games (One is not enough!)
Amnesia would be a cool experiment too =)

The first Motorstorm. The sequel added it so that's sort of ok.

The game I really wish had Co-Op was the game "Red Card Football" on the PS2. It was great (you could play as Dolphins!), but no Co-Op. Why? It would be the perfect game for it since there are so many players on a team, and every other football game for years had that option.

Oblivion, crackdown 2 (offline), dragon age, and dragon age 2. Why didn't they put co-op in dragon age? It was a golden opportunity!

The PS3 could have handled it though. Hell, that would have likely been a factor in the PS3 vs 360 versions. If GTA IV offered split-screen on the PS3 but not the 360, I would have definitely chosen that version.
