kagetsume. Fun! We had a lot of headaches to get it to work in the beginning... which went away when he updated his Linux router and Windows OS from XP to Win7, so you should be sure you're updated.
If you enjoyed the Portal 2 fun and you have a friend who likes it as well, you'd definitely have fun doing it together, but it's best for two people who haven't beaten the coop missions before, IMO.
SpaceChem also stands out as a great indie game to pick up. It was on 50% sale a few weeks ago, so if you missed it, it's now $15, but there's a demo as well. It's great fun and absolutely fair, requires no reflexes, just brains, but you should have an affinity for programming and engineering. Despite the name, no knowledge of chemistry is needed! Apparently I spent some 40 hours with it, so it was money well spent.
Portal 2 comparatively got 30 hours... But I don't begrudge the price difference. Portal 2 offers a lot of unique, fun content. It's like criticizing movies for being as expensive as books but only running 90 minutes to 2 hours when one can take a much longer time to read a book.
