Looking for a good co-op game on PC

Hi folks,

Me and my brother recently decided to re-kindle the glory days of having a fucking awesome time playing Diablo 2. We're looking for a game that has many of but is not limited to the following qualities:

-Available on PC
-Two player co-operative play
-Action
-Adventure
-Minimal dialogue but decent plot
-Epic boss fights
-Maximal ass-kicking
-Levelling our shit up
-Grabbing fat loot drops


Any recommendations? Action-RPGs or first-person shooters are preferred, but if you have suggestions outside of these two genres, please throw them out there.

Note: we already have Portal 2 co-op on the schedule, and we've played Diablo 2 to death.

Thanks!

    Titan Quest.

    It's kind of old, but really good. Personally, I think it's better than Diablo 2, but has that same sort of feel.

    Make sure you pick up the expansion if you get it, and play the game only by opening up the expansion (it adds storage, respeccing, and an additional class).

    Borderlands fits your criteria, and Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light doesn't but is super awesome coop from what I have heard.

    I found dead rising 2 fun co-op, the second player can not advance his story but keeps experience and money found.

    If your into zombies and psychotic bosses and saving people and weird weapons it is a good one.

    Grab a free trial for City of Heroes/Villains. It's an MMO with very fast paced combat. As in fighting a dozen enemies at once and minimal to no downtime between battles. Lots of powers to learn and enhance with loot drops.

    As others have said:

    Titan Quest (a must-play hack n' slash RPG)
    Borderlands (FPS with leveling up/phat loot)

    Throwing my hat into the Titan Quest pile. It's Diablo II with a different look and story.
