Left 4 Dead. Many, many, many hours have been spent with my fiancée. God, she's hot with a shotgun in her hands...
Minecraft is also a good one (god, she's hot when she builds things). Killing Floor if you can run it (god, she's hot when she kites). Borderlands is probably a bit too high-end for your PC but if you can do it, this is fun too (god, she's hot when she berserks).
If you can run Skype and a game at the same time, single-player games can be co-op in a sense too. Many hours have been put into Skyrim together while apart (god, she's hot when she Shouts).
For an MMO, we're both pretty heavy Mabinogi players, but that might be a little too hardcore. I wish I was kidding. That cutesy art style hides one hell of a game behind it.
Oh, and if you ever need anyone to talk to about the stresses of an LDR, you can come to me.

Ruairi server, you?

Both. She prefers 2, but I fell in love with No Mercy, so I force her to play on those maps occasionally.

Thanks Jade, it's not too far apart, but still too far for my liking :(
Skyrim seems to be working pretty well, but we can only play it on my computer. Minecraft is so bloody expensive, and I don't even know if that will suit our tastes, but I will consider it :)

There's a demo mode available. Just create an account and you can either play in your browser or download the game, which will only let you use the demo mode. It'll give you five in-game days (nearly two hours) to run around in, find out if you like it or not and how well your PC likes the game.

Terraria is a really good suggetion. An MMO can work as well depending on your interests and tastes.
I always reccomend http://www.co-optimus.com when hunting around for co-op games. You can at least start seeing what is out there and then figure out if it will run on your systems.

if you like MMORPGs, and have money and time to spare, World of Warcraft has amazing multiplayer and doesn't lag even on shitty computers like mine
terraria/minecraft are fun MP too, though they did ruin MC
I also suggest awesomenauts, beat hazard, castle crashers, and magicka

It's no popular opinion, but I played MC back in 1.5 beta and loved it. But now... it's just shitty. It's strayed waay too far from the original complete-sandbox it used to be. Now it's an RPG with goals and an end... I know, I know, Creative mode = complete sandbox. But it's all still there.
Also, I don't even think Mojang is indie anymore. I despise non-indie companies. No idea why. They just seem money-grubbing to me. Pure indie companies and devs (e.g. Team Meat, Phil Fish) need the money. Mojang just kept on raising the price on Minecraft to ridiculous heights.

I watched Indie Game: The Movie and honestly gained a lot of respect for the guy

He never did anything wrong. Just made a few snarky comments in return to the death threats and random haterage messages he got.

Yes, I believe you hadn't seen that thread as to why people hate phil fish.

I don't think you understand what indie means. Secondly, while I can see where you're coming from, you don't have to "end" it. I've been playing for ages and never even truly explored the Nether, because I'm just having fun in the Overworld. Never even seen the End or a stronghold.

I looked up indie once, but I have a terrible memory. I just assume "independent" now.
I also said about Minecraft "But it's all still there.". It just kinda... lingers. You don't have to do anything. You could just stand in a single spot for an irl year and not HAVE to do anything.
BUT IT'S STILL THERE.
It just bothers me. And I didn't think that anyone would agree with me, though I do have a friend that agrees. I have many unpopular opinions.

They don't, huh? My ( now ) wife and I were in one for four years back when we were dating. She finally came back to the US and we've been married for five years now.

I'm in an ldr too and my boyfriend and I usually play:
Both waiting on a Resident Evil 5 sale to buy and play together and we used to play that Rusty Hearts game for a while together. Oh, there's also those Serious Sam games you can play together.

Orcs must die 2
Minecraft
skype - not a game but good voice chat
Comment has been collapsed.
I second that. My wife and I used to play a Korean MMO called "do." She still talks about it from time to time, and that was probably seven or eight years ago.

Ignore these Portal 2 recommendations. These people are trying to get you to break up.
Comment has been collapsed.
Portal 2 is really great. I'm in a LDR and I played it with my partner. Sure it gets frustrating but it's really nice to work out the solutions together!
Trine 2 is also nice if you like platforming and puzzles.
Torchlight 2 if you like aRPGs.

So I'm in a ldr, what fun.. I need some tips on some games we can play while apart.
I'm looking for something not too hardcore "gamey" with some coop(mmo maybe?) that a lower end computer can run.
Help me steamgifts, you're my only hope!
Edit: Thanks alot for all the tips SG, I really appreciate it :)
