I have very fond memories of the first Halo on the OG Xbox. It was very cool to be able to do the campaign together with a friend.

Some splitscreen multiplayer games I've played and enjoyed:

It Takes Two - 2 player couch. Amazing game
Octodad - 4p. Every player controls one or two limbs of an octopus, who needs to pretend to be a normal father
Nom Nom Galaxy - 2 player couch, 4 player online. Land on an alien planet and build a soup factory. Collect ingredients and fight against another corporation.
Crawl - 4p. One player is a hero running through a dungeon, the other players control monsters trying to kill them. Whoever kills the hero then becomes the hero. Whoever kills the boss first, wins. Great soundtrack and art.
Stick Fight - 4p. Competitive yet silly ragdoll combat game
Magicka 1 and 2 - 4p. Wizard game, create spells by mixing elements and blow up a bunch of goblins.
Stikbold! - 4p. Dodgeball game, a decent bit of skill involved. Can fight each other or against AI.
Tooth and Tail - 4p. An RTS game that works well on controllers, you control an army of woodland creatures and have to kill / eat the others. Great soundtrack and art. Can play PvP or against AI.
Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime - 4p. Work together to pilot a spaceship and kill monsters and save people.
Guns, Gore & Cannoli - 4p. Arcadey shoot lots of zombies side scroller.
Treadnauts - 4p. Fight each other by driving tanks on walls
Ultimate Chicken Horse - 4p. Design a shared platforming level with traps, so that you're able to get to the end but the other players can't.
All the Lego games - 2p.
Stardew Valley - 4p. Grow a farm and befriend villagers
Speedrunners - 4p. Just run and do parkour faster than the other players
the Trine games - 3p. Cooperative adventure / puzzle game.
Wizard of Legend - 2p. Wizard roguelike
Boomerang Fu - 4p. Fight each other by throwing boomerangs
Kingdom Two Crowns - 2p. Side scroller town builder, protect your town against the evils outside
Spelunky - 4p. Roguelike, delve into a cave searching for gold and riches

Me and a friend 100%ed crawl together and it was a really good time. Took us a while to beat all the monsters challenges.
