This is a list from gaming website PlanetXbox360.com of the top 10 video games that need some form of multiplayer or co-op experience added to them (ie Army of Two); full of new and old titles.

Online gaming on consoles may be popular now, but it wasn't always this way. Systems like the Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, and the original Xbox attempted to bring online gaming to the masses, however, they did so with decent success. The Xbox almost made it happen, especially with heavy-hitting releases like Halo 2 that persuaded gamers to invest in the LIVE service. It wasn't until the launch of the Xbox 360 that gaming online really started taking off. Nowadays, whenever you purchase a new game, there's a huge chance that it features a mode allowing you to play with or against real people (Army of Two - perfect example of teamwork in gaming). Of course, there are still many titles available that don't let players interact with others across the globe. Normally, this is due to many factors, like meeting a deadline or not having enough manpower. In these cases, it's understandable, but there are instances where specific games would have been better with the addition of an online multiplayer or co-op mode.

    Dead Rising 2 will have multiplayer, and I think Kane & Lynch: Dog Days might have online co-op, not sure.

    Killzone 2 needed co-op and splitscreen, and Uncharted 2 would've been nice with splitscreen.

    Pacman? Mirror's Edge? Hitman?

    NONE of these games need multiplayer and if they do have it, it'll simply be for the sake of having it.

    Pacman tried 2 players before. Didn't work out.
    Mirror's Edge needs to be longer, no multiplayer, it just won't work out. Just because it's in an FP mode doesn't entitle it to multiplayer.

    And Hitman is a game where practice makes perfect. Having humans just won't work out. What a deathmatch? It'll just be stupid.

    Not all games need co-op/multiplayer

    And Dead Rising needs multiplayer just because Left 4 Dead has it? I'm sorry what?

    Mirror's Edge would actually be good, a la races.
