Hey, just curious if you guys know any good games to play at LAN parties? Me and a few friends are going to have one soon. So far we got

Unreal Tournament
Counter Strike
Garry's Mod
Warcraft 3
StarCraft
Diablo 2

There's going to be no internet there either, so anything based around internet is not able to be used.

Thanks in advance Very Happy

Trackmania Nations is ridiculously fun, and it's free. So win-win.

Oh god get a 360 and play some Burnout revenge. Or Fight Night. That shit will calm you down after many Starcraft tourneys.

Could also try Supreme Commander.

Ok, I'll start downloading Trackmania Nations now.

Any other good free games, or cheap games that can be intalled multiple times?

Fallout Tactics will cost you $8 or thereabouts.

Fallout Tactics looks like it could be pretty good. Reminds me of Fire Emblem for the DS, and that was a pretty fun game Very Happy

I also recommend flying planes into each other in Battlefield 2.

The Serious Sam games are also pretty wicked.

Does anyone know any free/cheap 2D fighting games, that are similar to Street Fighter, that can be played over LAN? That's one genre we don't have.

Revenge is Fail, Takedown is the best.

Not sure if you can LAN it, but I'd give Toribash a whirl.

I just remembered Toribash! It's difficult online because there's so many pros, but when you're playing with people your level it's pretty good.

I don't think there's any LAN, but I'll check now.

Edit: Nope, apparently no LAN Sad

Far Cry 2 is great, standard game types, DM, TDM and CTF - the F is actually a diamond, shedloads of custom maps are available as well

Well, turns out this LAN party was a spectacular fail. The guy organising it didn't turn up to the location :/
