jayseven Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Taking my console around a friends house. There'll be two guys and two girls. Any ideas? Castle Crashers is my default 4-player game, and similar ones like Scott Pilgrim and Streets of Rage probably won't cut the mustard with the girls. I can't think of any other 4-player games at all. Stuff like Halo and MW2 won't be appropriate either. I need 'fun' games, preferrably on XBLA so I don't have to go and buy something. Technically I've only got like two hours before I set out :P but it'll be interesting to hear any suggestions for further occasions, anyway! Just realised I also have Worms 1 and 2 and Peggle!
flameboy Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Scene It I know its not XBLA but we played it during Extra Life and had a hoot!
jayseven Posted November 20, 2010 Author Posted November 20, 2010 Did you have it with the buzzers or just using the pad? Contemplating getting Catan as well, despite owning the board game, just because it'll save me lugging all that stuff over with me!
Cube Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 I've got Caracconne or something like that (although I've barely touched it). That may be good with a few people.
Oxigen_Waste Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Castle Crashers is all you need, really. Does L4D work do split-screen?
nekunando Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Strip Castle Crashers.. Strip Worms.. Strip Peggle.. After that, the clothes will be off and it won't matter what you're playing.. in theory
S.C.G Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Strip Castle Crashers.. Strip Worms.. Strip Peggle.. Strip Uno... No wait, that's a 'normal' game of Uno, well if you play random people over Xbox Live... who have the vision camera... ... I've just remembered why I don't play Uno anymore.
LegoMan1031 Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 Scene it Box Office Smash is good (although i am aware it's not XBLA!) Like flameboy said we played it at extra life and it was good fun! Had good fun with family on it as well. I have it with the buzzers, not sure how much it is going for now but i got it cheap 2 years ago.
jayseven Posted November 21, 2010 Author Posted November 21, 2010 Well we played some worms 2 and Castle Crashers - CC went down well until you get to the catfishboss thing in teh river. I've known it from previous playthroughs -- it's where the noobs will die and lose patence while I am left to kill it, or won't be arsed to play through again. Llama; I have beatle's rockband, but essentially this group of people is two able and experienced gamers and two... girls, who hold the controller wrong (use d-pad, steer with their whole arms) and have no experience whatsoever with gaming. But rockband will be our next attempt As for Left4 dead -- 2-player co-op. As was Peggle, which is annoying as it was probably the preferred game for everyone. Will probably look into that Viva Pinata Party Planet whatever game, or scene it, which I think I can get for £14 with the buzzers or £10~ without. Gotta say, Wii wins at this sort of market. Sure, Kinect is a solution -- but it's too expensive, and my room isn't big enoough to use it so I'd not get enough use out of it.
Ramar Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 Why don't you have Rockband? :P This. Only game I get on the go when friends are over.

But rockband will be our next attempt But that's the thing about rock band, it's more straightforward than a modern controller. Instruments and motion controls are perfect for non-gamers. I'm glad you didn't try on-screen catan, I don't think that would've gone down well.
