Looking for good 2 player vs and co-op for X-Box

Friend just picked up an X-Box and we are looking for good games that have either player vs player and co-op play. So far we liked Halo and unreal.

Wolfenstein, Rainbow 6 3, Counter Strike- Oh wait you need 2 xbox to play multiplayer with these.

If you can overlook some slightly dated graphics, TimeSplitters 2 has some great co-op and deathmatch gameplay.

Wolfenstein has split screen multiplayer co-op.

I guess I'll be the first to state the obvious, but Halo is the best co-op game I have played for XBOX. It's multiplayer versus is lacking very much though. For deathmatches I would go with either Timesplitters 2 or XIII.

Brute Force is okay. Mech Assault is good.

If it doesn't necessarily have to be a shooter some other good ones are: D&D Heroes, Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance I/II, Hunter: the Reckoning, Lord of the Rings Return of the King.

I'll second LOTR:ROTK. That game in co-op kicks ass. I still think Halo is the best, but it is also very good.

lotr:rotk is very hard even with co-op play.

Gladius is another strategy/rpg type game with a good co-op mode. My friend and I play this for hours at a time.

My buddy and I always look for games we can play together -- from Playstation's Jedi Power Battles to Xbox's sweet LOTR: Return of The King. We have never played Halo though (I know, blasphemous), is it split screen? Without hijacking this thread any other titles would be appreciated...

I know I"m in the minority on this one but for a different kind of 2 player challenge try CIRCUS MAXIMUS.

One person drives the chariot while the other smacks opponents over the head and assists in tight turns by leaning at the right moments in the right direction based on the turn.

Something different from shoot 'em up games.

I'll second Circus Maximus to being a pretty fun co-op experience.

Thanks for reminding me, I think I'll pull that one out again.....

The new Bond game has coop play as well, and looks awesome, and plays very good too.

Plenty. Rainbow Six 3 would be the most popular current one.

Yes, but it's exactly like this : Rainbow Six 3 will come out soon for the PS2 with online play and new levels. I would suspect that, like Splinter Cell before it, the graphics will take a hit, though.
