Will Halo 3's co-op mode recently confirmed, Army of Two around the corner and online console multiplayer more popular than ever, co-op gaming is flourishing. So out of the recent releases, what are the top 5 co-op gaming experiences for consoles today?

Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.
Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.
All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
hmmm i guess the title should read top 5 xbox 360 co-op games..
Best co-op game ever made??? Why Contra of course
Too, and way too much biased here. Seeing it's a 360 site, it is only showing 360 games. People, please report this. How did this get onto the front page? Should be at least be edited and read "Top 5 Xbox 360 Co-op Games".
Please change this, or everyone please report this, it is extremely biased and misleading information.
While Contra was the best coop title of all times, the title says MODERN coop. That would not be Contra. And looking at the list, there is only one 360 exclusive game: Gears of War. Which, by the way, really is the definitive coop experience right now. The ability to join a game in progress without ever stopping the game is ridiculously good.
Rainbox Six, Splinter Cell, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and the LEGO Star Wars Trilogy are all multi-platform. R6 Vegas's coop is addictively fun, of course, I bought the 360 version over the PS3 version for the achievments and the solidness of Xbox Live. The same thing can be said about Splinter Cell.
So I need somebody to explain to me how this list is COMPLETELY Xbox specific...
What, no crackdown?
That game was great on co-op and the recent updates made it even better.
Its the top 5 MODERN consol coop games. And GRAW 2 shoulde definatly make this list if a lego star wars game did.
