Multiplayer Mayhem

[GPX 1,207]

This thread is dedicated to gaming of the multiplayer variety. Games where more than 1 controller ports are being utilized. Games where you got embarrassed bad by some other fella in front of a crowd. Games where you throw cuss words at the computer screen, having been decked by some anonymous online gamer on another part of the planet. You get the idea..

 

Let’s break it down to a few simple themes:

1. Best “1 vs 1” game(s)?

2. Best “co-op” game(s)?

3. Best party game(s)?

4. Best online multiplayer game(s)?
