    Have a group of folks I play with on some weekends and we are looking for a new game to play. We have played the following and really enjoyed them:

    For 4-
    Left for Dead 2
    Dead Island
    Borderlands

    For 2-
    Portal 2

    Any other games out there that might be worth looking at? Definitely prefer 4 (or even more) player co-op. We are all really looking forward to Borderlands 2!

    There are more than 4 slots per map and per round though. What about Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer?

    I tried ME3 Multipler in the demo, and the controls seemed kind of sloppy.

    Killing floor looks like it may be interesting. Have to see what the rest of the gang thinks.

    We have done some Payday: the Heist as well. Difficulty seems a bit high in that game though.

    I totally forgot about Payday but yeah the difficulty is a tad high, but that is what makes it fun at the same time. Most co-ops gets boring because the difficulty was easy and in the end everyone would be able to clear a map over and over very quickly and that does get boring.

    Try playing a vanguard - Biotic Charge + Nova or Melee Punch is a lot of fun.

    starcraft 2 if you like strategy games. you can play with 1-4 players on a team against human opponents (their team will be equal in size), and the large player pool and matchmaking makes it so that you'll still win sometimes even if you aren't great. there are also a lot of custom games, some of which are interesting.

    I'm going to check out killing floor and let my friends know how it seems (also got 2 trial passes so that will help).

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    Terraria, it's the best co op game ever.

    Also give Magicka a look.

    It actually pisses off more people in MP than you think with the Vanguard stealing almost all the kills.

    Totally forgot about Magicka and also don't forget about Minecraft!

    LOL perhaps so!

    Seems to be the most fun class to play, however.

    Never played vanguard in previous ME games, but after trying it in multiplayer I restarted ME3 and finished the game as a vanguard. It's great to be able to teleport around the maps.
