If you like the RPG style Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II both have up to 6 player co-op with a great story and some amazing gameplay even if it is a bit dated. Trine and Trine 2 are in a similar vain with great gameplay and a great story. There is also Magicka which has a crazy high learning curve but where we had some of the most comical experiences playing it.
Doesn't Neverwinter Nights have that too?
Co-op? Yes it does both 1 and 2 have it built in. It also has player persistent worlds that you can setup so if only one of you wants to play you can. Then the other one can just drop in later.

semi related.... I love destiny. would require two xb1's or ps4's or the like.

If she likes RPGs, then Divinity: Original Sin would be a good choice. It has co-op with an interesting mechanic when you don't agree on which path to choose.

I haven't played this yet but my friends who have all recommend it.

If you liked Diablo 2 (and not so much Diablo 3) you would probably love Torchlight and Torchlight 2. Both were made by former Blizzard devs who created their own studio after Diablo 2. They move back into the classic dungeon crawling experience of both the original Diablo and Diablo 2.
I pretty much played through Torchlight in one night one time when I had insomnia. Loved it. Not sure I loved it enough to dig into Torchlight 2, but it was a great one-off.
I've actually never played Diablo 2. We liked 3 for a while but it got so old so quick with how the map was carved into "acts" with cut scenes and the most contrived, grab-baggy storyline you could imagine. Made me wish they'd do an Amalur reboot in Diablo's isometric format.
Played through Portal 2 w/ a friend, it was pretty great. Left4Dead I've never tried, I'll have to take a look.
Baldur's Gate sounds right up our alley, I think we'll look into that first.
I'd never heard of that site either, thank you!

Just watched some reviews of this. Looks like it may be exactly what we're looking for, thx.

Torchlight 2 is very good. It introduces a few new additions that give it some extended playability. I can understand though where Torchlight would be seen as a one off.
From the sounds of it you wouldn't really have liked Diablo 2 that much either, the storyline is similar and the way it is cut up is basically identical. Great games if you like to grind but if you want a great story they leave a bit to be desired.
Baldur's Gate is fantastic probably my favorite old school game. They are releasing a brand new expansion (after however many years) for the 2nd game in the series. Once you are done with these two (which if you do all the side quests could take you tens of hours) they re-released Icewind Dale as well.
Left4Dead isn't really the same of Portal 2, it is a great game and the re-playability is in what you make it if you get my meaning. The maps are well laid out and the story is interesting in that there isn't much of one unless you pay attention to some of the easter eggs and extras.

Baldur's Gate is now available on iPad also. I ran out of space and had to remove it before I could play through it all the way thoug.
-
I have it there (iPad) and from Steam. But Gog has it now. I would buy it from Gog if buying new today.
