Your favorite local multiplayer games

[hyperhammy]

I'm sure we all remember those good old times, sitting in front of the tv playing with your buddies!
My favorite memory is from playing James Bond: Nightfire for the PS2. I played the shit out of that game with my brother!
We also used to play Battlefront 2, they should really make a third one!
A more recent title has to be Halo: Reach! Playing firefight with some buddies is always fun!
So, what is your favorite local multiplayer game?

The first Left 4 Dead is maybe the most fun I've ever had playing with friends. What else? I remember playing a lot of United Offensive and Warhammer 40k. Not so much LAN on consoles for me...

Oh my god me too! Nightfire was the best game ever back in the day! Playing it with my brother was awesome ^_^

Castle Crashers and Halo 3 have been the most played between myself and my friends for a while now. Following closely are Gears 2 for Horde (system linked for 4 player action of course) and CoD: MW 2.

In the past though, the game that stands out the most to me is Crash Team Racing on the PS1. Man, I played that game to death, and got ludicrously good at it before I moved on. I mean, pants-shitting pope-hitting good.

Any 2-D fighter or Halo. True you can play these online, but they're funnest when you play with your friends. That way you can be a total jerk to them and they won't mind as long as you do it with a sense of humor.

Time Splitters 2 - Haven't played it in a long time, but it's an absolute blast

Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Melee) - Another good game, especially when custom rules are used

Rock Band/Guitar Hero - Fun to play but gets repetitive kinda quickly

Worms Armageddon - Really makes you think and consists of a LOT of shouting

Halo 3 - Forge seems to be a popular choice when we play this, playing rocket launcher tennis is hilarious.

Well, me and a couple of friends invented a very unique system of Dwarf Fortress multiplayer, using the Arena. Its actually very fun

Rainbow Six: Raven Shield.

Used to take seven of my schoolmates on 9-hour LAN café crawls, and we'd always play some Terrorist Hunt.

You can probably imagine eight 13- to 15-year-olds doing tactics and deciding who gets to provide overwatch with the sniper rifle...

That and Halo in two-box system link, 4v4 team games.

Good times 'twas.

Only one I remember playing LAN is Halo 2. 3 vs 3 matches on Ascension= awesome.

Oh wait, I have played Hearts of Iron 2 with my friend LAN. We started with some tiny countries in Mexico and invaded South America. We actually won

007 N64 all the way. I'm only 14 but I've spent many of my younger years playing that game.
