Looking for a good co-op multiplayer game

Just something to tide me over til D3 launches. Got a friend who recently just got back from his military adventures in Africa and he and I are both stumped on what games we could be playing. We prefer RPG and strategy titles but are open to anything with an addicting co-op.

We've both given up on the World...of Warcraft. Played it for years, but it got stale. A different MMO would be fine; the couple I've done free trials of (Rift, DCUO) were decent, but didn't seem different enough to hold my interest for long.

Tried D2 but with D3 on the horizon none of my friends or I can stay interested.

Considering talking him into SC2 for some of the custom maps - a few good tower defense games might keep us entertained for a while (used to stay up all night doing them on WC3).

Also, I'm trying to save a bit of money to upgrade my computer soon, so anything at a budget price gets bonus points.

Any suggestions?

- Total War Shogun2 - Fantastic coop, you can both do battles at the same time, epic if you have a friend to play with (you can save it and come back to it

later). Most fun ive had in a coop game in years

- Anno 2070 - has coop also like shogun2

- Magika or Neverwinter Nights2 comes to mind for coop rpgs.

- Dungeon Defenders - This is fun with a few friends, you mentioned tower defense, so thought I would mention this.

If you want a mmo try Star Wars The Old Republic

Borderlands is a good co-op experience it's sort of set up like diablo except it's first person and with guns.

everytime you mention Red Alert 3 I feel like I should give it a shot. But everything else after generals has been a massive failure.

Borderland. One of the best (and only) co-op RPG-Shooter out right nowanchorboy7

Magika

COD spec ops and zombies are fun

Resident Evil 4

Left 4 Dead 2

Left 4 Dead 2 has the best co-op in any game. It requires proper communication and timing. Same with Portal 2. biggest_loser
