Dead Rising 2 (Xbox, PlayStation, PC). This game supports online two player co-op across all platforms, but going by forum threads, actually finding someone to play with could be tough.

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record (Xbox, PlayStation, PC). As with Dead Rising 2, this also supports two player co-op.

Dead Rising 3 (Xbox, PC). This also supports co-op, and some in-game vehicles work better with two players. There’s also DLC, Super Ultra Dead Rising 3′ Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX + α, which allows four players to team up for fast match.
