I'll kick off the thread by saying Quake III Arena, as I mentioned in the unpopular gaming opinions thread. Fast and frantic fun, but hardly anyone I know still plays it (despite them raving about it). There's always Quake Live, I suppose.

Also, Sin And Punishment 2's 2-player mode. Even though the game doesn't rebalance itself for the second player, it's still fun blasting stuff light gun-style with a friend, and it's easy for the assisting player to learn how to play (2P's "just point and shoot" vs. 1P having an on-screen character), plus 2P can take a break without 1P getting royally bogged down. Heck, due to the simple scoring, I can still do a serious scoring run. Only problem is, playing 2-player would require me to invite friends to my house or bring my Wii to a friend's house or on campus.

Overlord 2. A great game, but with an almost non-existant multiplayer. A shame, as it's great fun for two Overlords and a host of minions to take on the world together.

I guess we could go... wherever we please.

Super Smash Bros. (ALL) Basically because i just happen to live with people that just dont seem to like it all and prefer Mario Kart and Mario Party (Witch IMO its cool,i like them all.But i also like SSB). That,and probably that by this point i have learned a bit way too much before them so its just unfair.(?)

Vigilante8 Arcade. A fun car shooter on the Xbox 360, but no one has it and no one is online.

I've never found anyone else who has a cartridge for Four Swords. Probably never will now that we've moved past the GBA, since it can only be played on that system.

Ikaruga's 2 player mode. Because it makes the game more manageable (assuming that both people know what they're doing) and because I'm not competent enough at the game to pull crazy stunts like this.

Let's play a game about Pokémon...

Anything by square, because echoes of time is the only internet compatible one I've found (XI doesn't count, you gotta pay for that), and nobody's ever online for that, and my friends don't ever want to play the other stuff....

Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs. Annoying, because the later past missions are nearly impossible to win in one-player and the Deoxys mission literally is impossible unless you have a friend with the game.

Funnily enough, some pals of mine were just working out how to organize a massive Four Swords-fest recently...

Water Warfare. I'd like to play with people I know and can trust not to be jerks before I go a-trollin' for random people through its randomatch service.

Mind if I bump this? I've yet to play a match in Brutal Legend, possibly because of being on the PS 3. Rock Band is easier to find, but most of them don't have that much DLC. There's no excuse not to have Still Alive or the other Free Ware.

Most of my fighting games asides Smash Bros.

It's more frustrating waiting for the asskicking than the asskicking itself.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is terrible to get on multiplayer because the session-service doesn't really work right. You're better off getting some online friends with the game, so you'll at least have like 4 people at once, but there's the problem: I don't have 'em.

I don't own the game, but maybe try their forums for drumming up a game (I was interested in the game but didn't get it, so I checked their forums a decent amount)?
