OK, I just bought my 360 (yay!), and the missuz is interested in playing with me once in a while. I need a good co-op game that isn't too complicated to learn, with fairly straight-forward controls, something like a shooter or beat-em-up -- she's not a gamer, so I don't want the learning curve to be too steep. We've played Hunter: The Reckoning before, and she liked that, so I'm thinking Marvel: UA is one good choice. Any other recommendations? In particular (and this is very important), if it's split-screen, it has to be a game with wide-screen support, and very preferably side-by-side split-screen, not top-bottom split screen. Anything come to mind?

Halo 3's a nice co-op game that's not super hard.

Star Wars: The Complete Saga has drop in/drop out co op all in one screen, plus it's hilarious and the learning curve is almost absent. Fairly easy and user-friendly interface. Definitely a great starter game. :D

Gears is very simple to play. You play as Marcus and her as Dom. Just give her a shotgun and tell her to blast some of the white dudes with no hair.

Gears of WAR, alot of chicks are intimidated by this game at first, but it seems to grow on every chick I know who plays it, I have one who only wanted to play boogie bunnies at first, now all she plays is gears of war. This game grows on H.... nah better not.

I'm in the same boat as you except that my wife isn't big on 1st person shooters. We had a great time with Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Lego Star Wars Complete Saga. I recommend both of those highly. She didn't like Halo (split-screen) or Gears of War (but I'm still working on her).

Here are a few we've played (We actually played some of these on PS2, but they are probably the same or better on XBOX). The XBOX designation means original XBOX, the 360 means the new one. The older games should work on the 360.

X-Men Legends (XBOX)1 player for the first mission or so, then the second player can come in
X-Men: Rise of Apocalypse (XBOX) 2-player
Marvel Ultimate Alliance: (360) 2-player, very very fun. Highly recommended. very long game.
Lego Star Wars: Complete Saga (360) super fun. slight graphical hang-ups here and there, but very enjoyable.

Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance: (XBOX) 2 player hack-n-slash, not much thought involved, but very fun.
Baldur's Gate 2: (XBOX) sequel

An upcoming title is Lego Indiana Jones. That should be good too. It is supposed to release on June 3.

There needs to be more hack-n-slash games for real-life co-op.

Nice sig!

Rockband!

My wife is not a gamer and she loves it. The controls are easy to pick up and play, she can design her own avatar... and if she's anything like my wife she'll love changing the outfits, buying shoes etc.

It's a bit expensive, but well worth it.

Cheers

Marvel Ultimate Alliance has pretty good co-op. I'd also recommend Halo 3 and Rock Band.

Here are all the games that are co-op: From Wikipedia

Check the gamespot score first though. some of these are pretty lousy.
