Thanks for all the great reviews. Reading them got me excited for a few games like Uncharted 3, Aliens, and Dead Island. My favorite game to read about was Uncharted 3...the news of the mix of old and new co-op modes really has me psyched.

I disagree with the choice of Co-op Game of E3, only because I believe the level restrictions hamper co-op play more than it helps it. That's why I hate Borderlands, well not hate, but have a hard time wanting to go back and play co-op.

There has to be a better and more co-op friendly approach to allow players to progress their characters without the often used RPG levels and the level grinding that accompanies it. I like Assassin's Creed: Brotherhoods approach when leveling recruits. All participants in an assignment are given points evenly, then the max leveled players are no longer given experience, thus the lower level players take more in.

Maybe mix the simplistic Batman: AA with it as well. You gain experience to fill up a bar and each full bar gives you one point used to unlock an ability or upgrade.

Anyway, I think Ghost Recon: Future Soldier is the more co-op friendly game of E3. Guess I am not too into Dead Island cause of the lack of guns and emphasis on melee.

They're all winners in my eyes. /cheesy. Seriously though, it's tough to pick nominees, let alone winners in a contest like this. I'd have had more input if more of my games of E3 had even been co-op. Inversion may have been my only other suggestion, but i didn't play it in co-op, so I don't know for sure.

Dead Island is a solid choice, but so are all of the others.

Wow! The game with a sweet teaser trailer comes off as co-op game of E3... pity there's no split screen. That really kills a co-opable (did I just create a new word?) title for me.

In the meantime, I've just picked up Borderlands GOTY so my bro and I will be revisiting Pandora (the alien wasteland planet... not the alien jungle planet) while we wait for many of these great co-op titles to come out.

Sadly there were only a handful of split and shared screen co-op games. That's probably the one disappointing thing from E3.

Saints Row 3 would've been my top pick. But a great list anyway.

Looking forward to Ghost recon the most from your picks.

Thanks bapenguin.

Indeed no split-screen love? There are many upcoming split-screen games like Gears 3, Resistance 3, Twisted Metal. They didn't show them with split-screen at E3? Or were they not as good as the nominees?

Gears 3 we couldn't get in to see, so hard to judge that one. Resistance 3 didn't show off any co-op, same goes for Twisted Metal - no co-op being shown. We only get to talk about it with the dev.
