Hey All..

I'm looking for games that 2 (or more) people can play on one computer with a couple controllers. I'm looking for some stuff so when my buddies come over, two of us can play instead of just watching the other person.. Anyone know if the following games will do this?

Madden NFL 08
Fifa Soccer 08
NBA Live 08
NHL 08

I couldn't find a definitive answer if those games are 2+ Player or not (without online multiplaying)

Are there any other suggestions out there? Maybe some other sports or racing games?

Thanks!!!

While it's neither sports or racing you could try worms. A great game to play with friends

I remember playing NHL 01 or 02 multiplayer with gamepads at my buddy's place, you can try Spiderman Friend or Foe, check out the demo first.

Total War Medieval 2-expansion Pack, has a hotseat mode, which allows to play from 2-5 players in a single PC.

Play Little Bebo's Typing Adventure Happy Fun Land. Great party fun for 2 or more players!

Mashed is a pretty good racing game like micro machines for up to 4 players

Also there's a ton of good games on older consoles you can get from various places. Mario kart etc.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Beat Em up style adventure RPG game reminiscent of Fighting Force games that you can level up and and gain new powers to use on your heroes. I believe there are also X-men Legends games with the same type of gameplay.

nfl 08 allows at least 2 people to play at once.

Risk 2!!!!

With 2 Pads on PC, the best game's I've played are: Splinter Cell (Can't remember which one), and Shadowgrounds (although the style isn't to everyone's taste, it's 3rd person shooter with 2 people on one screen.)

[#63ff00][#009b63]Hey, I was looking for the same thing for my media center Vista PC. If you are still on XP there are a wealth of games you can play, but with vista you are a bit more limited.

On vista I use:
- You Don't Know Jack 1-5 (no controllers needed - 3 players max)
- Spiderman Friend or Foe
- Monopoly 2008
- Little Fighter (2d side scrolling/fighting game - 4 players and free)
- Tiger Woods

On XP I had: (these are older games, but still very fun)
- Need for Speed
- Roll Cage
- Deathtrack Racing (racings, power-ups, missles, fun)
- Tony Hawk 2

If you find any other good 2 player games let me know.

Most turn-based games will have a hotseat mode, but playing hotseat Civ4 might be a bit long...

Sports games will usually support 2+ players if you have enough controllers (using the keyboard is horrid) - Pro Evo is excellent for footie.

I can also recommend Worms - works very well as a hotseat game, and you can have lots of teams (up to 8 at once I think).

Oh yeah!

need for speed: hot pursuit, but that's a little outdated by now...

I second that

Host a LAN party! Of course your friends will have to drag their computers to your house.

With just 2,4, 6 or 8 friends you can play numerous games. If cost is a problem there are a lot of older games out there that are still fun for groups and have very low computer requirements. Warcraft II or III is great. Starcraft, Diablo I or II, or Battlefield 1942 with numerous mods never gets old.

AoE2 for LAN! Still one of the best RTS (I assume I don't need to mention Starcraft).

Unreal Tournament is also fun and will run on old rigs.
