Good co-op games?

Should give minecraft a go, that one would be good if you give it a chance.

I don't know how casual you want to go, but the Lego games by Traveller's Tales have quite fun (if simple) co-op gameplay - but it's local only. Not really going to meet the "exciting" requirement, but worth a look if you haven't considered it already.

Great suggestions guys. Keep them coming.

Not looking for local co-op. More of, when she's in her house and I'm in mine. We can play across the net.

There's one near me. Don't think they sell games though.

Borderlands is good fun co-op. It's fun but it's a shooter. Borderlands 2 looks awesome fun as well. Look out for TorchLight 2 and Diablo III. Still a fair bit away.

Don't know much about 'casual' co-op games on PC. Metal Slug?

L4D2 is rather dark, still, very funny at times!

I suppose you could play Guild Wars co-op. It's an instanced MMO, and I play it as a co-op game.

Left 4 Dead 1 & 2, Killing Floor and Alien Swarm to get you started!

Any multiplayer hack and slash rpg.

She might like darkspore with the creature creation and such.

Portal 2

Gears of War 1, 2 or 3

Halo

Resident Evil 5 would have been a great choice, especially during the Halloween Steam sales where it was only £6.99.

Saints row 2, Magicka, Portal 2, Dead Rising 2.
All co-op mode, all be it Saints Row 2 isn't the best of console ports but probably the most fun out of the lot.
All brilliant if you are looking for fun over super serious games.

Dungeon Siege 3 has quite good support for the game pad, lots of people didn't like it, as a co-op game I enjoyed it.

No idea how any of them play with a pad though, used KB+M for them all.
