I don’t know about you, but the Christmas party season is well and truly in full swing in my corner of the world. Shamefully, I’ve already lost count of the number of mince pies I’ve stowed away. I’m hoping to get some pictures and eye-witness reports from the various holiday bashes taking place in Sony-affiliated studios around the globe over the next week or two, to share with you all over the Christmas down-time. Brace yourselves!
Duly, your debate topic this week is, I hope, nice and timely:
You’re throwing a gaming night with friends – or ‘party’ if you prefer. What three games do you line up, and why?
I want to hear about snack choices and fancy dress themes too, if you please!
Suitably, I’ve got 8 download codes for the thoroughly excellent Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed for PS Vita for the most entertaining responses. See Eurogamer’s considered review for more insight into why it’s a true multiplayer treat and a must for the Sega faithful.

As of right now my party would consist of:
- Mortal Kombat PS3, as some serious competition ravages my friends and I with this game.
- Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale PS3 and Vita which is quickly becoming one of my favourite games and very fun with friends.
- Black Ops 2 PS3 as there always has to be some FPS action goin’ on and right now Black Ops 2 is where it’s at.

Gotta love gaming nights !
Here it goes
My first game will be Uncharted 3, because of the multiplayer would be fun to play splitscreen with my friends and collecting the artifacts or give a try on singleplayer to see who can do a chapter the fastest
Second game is Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, well didnt win it last week so i buyed it
So far so fun, playing 2vs2 online or with more 3 friends having fun on endless battles, and be amused when Ray appears on the LocoRoco stage, when i first saw it i was like, run for your lifes ! HAha

PART II
And the last game is Crash Bandicoot Team Racing for PSOne. I chosse this game because it revives my childwood, me and my dad playing it and trying to collect everything, but now iam older and so is he and he doenst play videogames anymore. So i think a gaming night playing this should be wonderful. Its good to see that they still make games like it such as Modnation Lbp Karting and this Sonic & All-Stars it also makes me think of another game of my childwood RcRevenge, it makes me remember it because of the transformations to boat plane etc. RcRevenge its another game i used to play with my dad, good old times.
Thats all, hope everyone has a good gaming night, and Fred tell us what games would you bring to a gaming night ?

hey hey
NFS:Hot Pursuit, Tekken, Singstar
Start the evening off with NFS where we can either show off our skillZ and also have some cops Vs tuners pvp and as its more about fun rather than competitiveness its a god way to kick of an evening of gaming.
Revenge and rivalry kicks in (literally) and we can get the mid evening arguments and banter out in the open and release any tension with some Tekken. (Jack5 ftw)
after the beer and wine has been flowing its good to finish on some light humor and terrible singing with singstar. Girls Vs boys ofc

- Super Street Fighter IV, winner stays on. Great competitive game and lots of close matches having victory won or snatched by millimeters remaining on health bars.
- Fifa 09, cannot afford to to be buying Fifa each year so stuck playing 09 still. 2v2 is the way we play and swap partners all the time to keep it even. We may dance when we score.
- Mario Kart Wii (you didn’t specify PS3! :p ), we love Kart racers and this games multiplayer is great, we either 4 player splitscreen it of play online 2 player and whoever places lowest of the two passes controller on.
Snacks include pizza, kebabs, chinese food and other things we all regret stuffing ourselves on in the morning.

I would have to take out the old PS1 classics with that said these would be the games that I would choose:
Game #1 – Crash Team Racing (pretty much the best racing game ever made can’t remember playing any other more than CTR! and it also had a great multi player modes racing and battling can be played for hours just goes to show you how great Naughty Dog are as a developer)
Game #2 – Team Buddies (What can I say about this game it was rude, violent and had silly cartoony characters but it was so much fun collecting your blocks to build your troops/vehicles/tanks for total destruction, last team reminding was the winner!)
Game #3 – Poy Poy! (Probably a game that alot of gamers haven’t played or even heard of, it was a tournment fighting game that involved alot of throwing objects at each other it definitely is a party game for total fun!)
Snacks – would be pepperoni pizza with extra cheese can’t beat it
Fancy Dress Theme – has to be Mutant Ninja Turtles (you see what I did there?)

Love a good gaming night with friends.
Usually set off with an hour or so on a 1 on 1 fighter,mvc3,super streetfighter
Then some WWE action as you can’t beat some 4player action, but it usually ends up with people trying to recreate the action lol
Then we usually end up digging out the n64 for Goldeneye,pure classic.
Then when everyone’s had plenty to drink we go for guitar hero battles which is hilarious
58
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 6:27 pm by Cwiki87
The first one has to be FIFA 13, because it’s not a gaming night if there’s no football.
Second has to be Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale. Awesome game, and I’m currently the best in the group as I’ve played the game the most, so I really enjoy destroying my friends.
Third, Modnation Racers. Hands down the best Kart Racing game on any platform.
As far as snacks go, our only “snack” is beer. A lot of beer

We often do gameparties with friends and they all take their PS3′s with them to my house, we have a couple of beamers too. The 3 games that are the best are:
1. Rockband, playing guitar, bass, drums, keyboard and on the beamer it has four people that can play plus a whole audience for whom it is fun to watch!
2. Fifa 13 on a beamer too, it keeps 4 people on the edge of their seats, one plays with a normal DS3, the other with Move and again, an audience that likes to watch and cheers as loud as the crowd in the game!
3. Motorstorm 3 (got it free in the instant game collection on my PS+ account) on the 24 inch 3D Sony game monitor in simul view, both see full screen in massive dept!
Snacks: a wide variation of chips, but also the Dutch snack that every foreigner loves…
BITTERBALLS!
If you’d ever visit The Netherlands, get bitterballs, everyone loves ‘em. This is the ultimate gamenight!
Posted on 11 December, 2012 at 9:14 am by Fred Dutton
I have never heard of these Bitterballs of which you speak. Researching now…
Sonic winner here!

The first game is easy; TimeSplitters 2 or Future Perfect. That game can keep me and others playing for hours without ever getting tired of it. Custom game modes just make it hilarious an really fun, something that is unfortunately lacking in modern FPSs.
Secondly, LittleBigPlanet 2 features a lot of great multiplayer games and levels. I particularly enjoy the Street Fighter level that someone made which is particularly hilarious. I’ve spent literally hours playing that one level alone.
Lastly, we need a fighting game, and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 seems like a good bet. It’s quite easy to pick up and play while still giving hardcore players the ability to get better with challenging combos. The person with the most experience may not necesarrily win.
+ pizza

1) Buzz!
2) PS All Stars
3) Sports Champions 2
I dont need to explain, this is the best line up for any gathering or party especially for Buzz!.

Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 6:42 pm by XnoobsquadX
Borderlands 2 for some Epic looting
Mortal Kombat vs DC universe for some geek on cult action 2 seperate camps!
and last but not least littlebig planet 2 for some platforming funs n giggles.
as for snacks obviously a Party needs M&M’s share the fun!

Considering most of my friends are a little long in the tooth and most bar a couple have not touched a game in a few years i would have to bring out the classics we were all playing in our teens and twenties.
Mario Kart on the Snes was a firm favourite back in the day so i would have to make that the starter.
Then we would move onto some classic 4 player splitscreen deathmatch in the shape of Perfect Dark on N64.
To round the evening off i would plug the PS3 back in and load up Fifa 13, winner stays on rules apply.

I see most people are going for the usual party and multiplayer games, and I very much agree with them. There’s two games that are ALWAYS played whenever my family throws a party, and that’s SingStar and LittleBigPlanet2 (with the occasional round of Sports Champions for those feeling especially active). It’s always great fun. Snacks always involve Japanese food — especially sushi, which me and my friends are addicted to.
However, when I was younger and I was at home — thank you college :’( — I used to get my cousins and my best friend together, and we’d arrange for our usual sleepovers at each others’ homes. These were my favourite kinds of parties, and at the time we had to make do with the games we had. We all had a PlayStation and, eventually, PlayStation 2.

—-continued from above—-
For some reason, most of our games were RPGs, Action-adventure games, or Platformers, and we enjoyed watching each other playing the games as much or more as if we were playing them ourselves. I’ll never forget the joy we felt of beating Sin (the words “use Curaga! Use Curaga!” will forever be engraved in my mind) or the collective jump we all had when a Licker jumped through the window in Resident Evil 2. Finding Meryl’s codec number was our first contact ever with 4th-wall-breaking, and we were stunned when we realised where it was hidden.
Oh, we had snacks too! We absolutely destroyed countless packages of gummy bears!
Throughout the years, this eventually stopped and we all went our separate ways, although thankfully we are still in contact. These fond memories will forever be with me and, I hope, with them as well.
And I know one day we’ll call each others for one more “PlayStation night”, for old times’ sake.
Posted on 11 December, 2012 at 9:16 am by Fred Dutton
I used to drive my housemates mad when I was at college, hogging the TV to play RPGs! I think they’d argue they’re the very opposite of a party game! Still, good suggestions. Sonic code here.

Buzz… Because ninjas came and stole my entire game collection and gave back Buzz from last months raid…
Seriously though, Borderlands, fifa 13 and Buzz would make a killer “friends gaming night” as it blends a few gaming categories (casual, party, hardcore gaming)
Borderlands because of the sheer size of the game and the fact that it has four player split screen, plus its a humourous game (claptrap and the character comments).
Fifa 13 because you just have to love your mates when they almost tear their hair off because of offside traps or late minute goals (seriously, its hillarious!). However if you value your controllers, you’ll let your mates win a little, or else you’ll be picking up controller pieces around your livingroom floor (speaking from experience…)
And finally Buzz, because everytime a controller fails because of low battery, it somehow happens to be the controller Im using, and the evil smiles on my mates faces are priceless…
67
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 6:49 pm by ooinaru
By the way, Doritos and cheeze doodles are classics when it comes to snacks, however my friends and I are rather boring when it comes to dressing up for gaming sessions, casual it is!

Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 6:56 pm by silmorat1
I’d start the party with some ‘dancestar’ using the move controller to get the party up and running – its got 40 tracks on the disk, most of them pretty good too! Yes you can’t beat a bit of the macerina – an essential party song for me!
After that some ‘when Vikings attack’ awesome fun especially with some Sherberts had, great fun for all and with laughs a plenty. An easy game to simply pick up and play that even non-gaming folk can play without spending all night explaining how to play.
After that I’d have to bring out the classic game known as ‘pixeljunk racer 2nd lap’ its a game I stumbled across not expecting much but it turned into the best party game ever – its one of those games that would drive your brain to insanity and back again, its just crazy but is soo much fun, my eyes don’t seem to be the same after a few rounds – I can’t believe I only paid 79p for it – amazing!
Hope you enjoy my party selection.

Buzz : forgotten quiz game, great party games with buzzers
Lego rock band: fun version of the rock band game suitable for everyone,
super street fighter 4: a great fighting game.

To build up my theme, I’m going to be telling you the dress code and drinks first.
Males shall dress in a Fat Princess dress, pink or blue? Up to you.
We shall drink *read in Kratos’ voice* BLOOD!!
We shall play God of War III, Batman Arkham City and Mortal Kombat! We will be the ultimate Gods.. and then remember we’re all wearing dresses and actually drinking cherryade thinking it’s blood.
After crashing back in to reality we all compiment each other saying how good we look in dresses to try and get the morale back up amongst us, but we’ll all cry ourselves to sleep that night.

1. LittleBigPlanet 2. Why? Because it is a game full of fun and mayhem where me and my friends can churn through levels oozing of colour and style. Also there are are lot different game types and also stickers and textures to mess about with. oh and costumes. its just a great party game.
2. I would say GT5 for a nice racer, in fact it is only one a scarce few excluding karting games that support split screen multiplayer. There is also some nice challenges/trophies in GT5 such as duels between Subaru’s and Mitsubishi’s. And we can mess about with drifting and the car showrooms.
3. I would say left 4 dead 2 lastly because it can support 4 players and its great fun playing in survival mode helping each other out and bumper buttons firing like mad when a tank charges our way.
Well that’s my three, a nice balanced selection, although when we have had gaming parties in the past, we have always had more than three, and games such battle royale, sacred and time splitters, and phantasy star too.

Singstar, like all the gay people above this comment.
But I only play it because it’s the first game on my XMB.

My gaming night usual takes place on boxing day and its sort of tradition now that we always go back and play the same games and even try a few new released that we would have got the day before.
First we start of with a full round of Buzz, all quizes activated (The amount of times we’ve played it you would think we have seen every question by new. Usually ends with the winner gloating.
Next is singstar, which usually last longer than it should and most of the time there is someone always thinks there the superstar and wont let anyone use the mic.
And when it dies down we usually end it the old fashioned and still one of the best multiplayer games I have ever played, Worms. Its always been the ultimate challenge in my household to see who would be the worms champion.
And that is my yearly gaming night, with the odd few extra games thrown in. Bought Dancestar this year too
74
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 7:39 pm by CaZpeR
My perfect lineup for a game night must be these games:
Serious Sam (any of the three):
Simply because it is awesome with friends in the same room! Easy and fun coop with insanely large bossfights! It’s like God of War met Quake and they wanted the best from both!
Wipeout HD:
Every party needs a racer. And it needs to be fast and competative! Wipeout HD… Enough said!
LittleBigPlanet 2:
This is a definitive winner at a party! 4 players, 4 sackboys, tons of stuff to explore and discover! Or just kick eachothers ass and monkey around!
This would be my games of choice! What are your choices Fred Dutton?

I’d say a great videogame party night could be attended by 2 couples, having their fun and playing the following:
- Rayman Origins, playing a comedic, easy to pick up, funny 4-player co-op platformer, giving slaps to enemies and friends alike (and laughing at the funny sound effects, too)!!!
- Yoostar 2, performing various 2-player improvisational scenes with free-minded, humorous or “dirty” dialogue (not pre-written film scenes), dressing up a bit differently (even a fancy hat could help), in a “I can do better!” mood, and maybe upload the videos to Facebook!
- Finally, as the end of the party night approaches, Buzz! Quiz World! Exhausted by the Yoostar 2 performances, a cool quiz game to round up the night from the comfort of the couch using just the Buzz! buttons. The 2 couples arrange to play as 2-player teams, because late at night (and after a beer or two), maybe 2 minds could think better than one!

1) Since my “gaming pijama party” obviously won’t include more than 4 people, I’ll ask them to bring their notebooks and start with Left 4 Dead 2. Yes, it’s a bit geeky but we are doing a gaming party, so geeky it is! This game is great to shake things up in the beginning. We simply love both L4D, so what is a better way to renew splendid memories than shooting a couple of zombies like in good old times? When all we had was some average PC and our young passion for gaming.
2) After that geeky exercise it’s time to play a more “mainstream” party game. Like Rock Band. When party is in full swing and you’re quite ready to jump out of your pants playing challenging guitar solo or laughing at your friend’s singing.
3) And since our party is a true mix of different times and genres last game is a fighting. And best “party-fighting” is a so-called “salad”. So we’d take the newest sweep – PS All-Stars! Dawn is near, everyone is obviously a bit tired, so why not pull-out a true no-brainer at the end? Since we do have two Vita in adition to PS3, it will double the fun we are having. Tournaments, witty duels and true endurance test. Great closure to a great party.
77
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 8:02 pm by ducky1549
Game 1: Guitar hero/rockband everyone loves the guitar games and a full band play off would just rock the night away.
Game 2: Monopoly everyone’s favorite oldie game of all time.
Game 3: Playstation Allstars Battle Royal cause any fan of the smash bros from nintendo would be a fan of this too and it’s perfect party material for all ages and genders.
Snacks: molteser’s and M&M’s and probably party sized sausages and sandwiches.
Drinks: Cider,Beer,Whiskey,Lager for the adults
Coca Cola,Orange juice,Apple juice,Shandy for the kids
Dress code: Any playstation character the guest’s like (has to be a must, they don’t get through the door otherwise)
.

I’d start out with play station all stars because of fun craziness and even the girls enjoy a bit mindless violence if they can play as a loved icon or a cute toro, it would become more fun as drinks go on.
Once everyone’s lost their inhibitions a bit, it’s on to 7 player rock band 3 with 3 people singing at a time ( nothing says party like 3 people singing more than a feeling out of tune with each other)
Finally for the late session when some people can’t be bothered anymore it’s on to crash bash the ultimate party game, the mini games have the perfect amount of crazy like shooting gems at bullseyes while riding a tiny dragon.
79
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 8:06 pm by A_Nonny_Moose
First choice definitely has to be Rock Band 3. Everyone can play and everyone can feel comfortable playing too. Even after a few drinks some people still won’t want to sing, but everyone is happy to go nuts on the drums.
Second would Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing Transformed, for 2 reasons. 2) I played it in a shop a couple days ago and it’s even better than the first one. 3) Nearly all of my friends were huge Sega fanboys back in the early days of console wars so Mario Kart is a no-no. The Nintendo crew got slaughtered the year Mario & Sonic At The Olympics came out.
Third would be Sports Champions, mainly for the Table Tennis and Gladiator Duels. Hitting a friend a with a big wooden club is so satisfying.
For snacks, it has to be Thai. Not very Christmassy but Thai food is just so damn nice. Prawn toast, spring rolls, prawn rolls Thai fishcake, satay chicken, Thai golden bags, sweet sticky rice. It’s lovely. And Pringles of course.
I think if I invited my friends to a fancy dress gaming party I’d get some funny looks.
But it is a Christmas gaming party, so at the very least everyone would be wearing a paper crown and be covered in those strings of coloured paper that come out of party poppers.
80
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 8:12 pm by Wiiman1225
Well, I do this quite a lot!
First, it a couple of rounds of Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars. Why? The Assault Arcade mode is great fun to play with friends (and great to steal their studs as well) but it takes a while to get going which gets the chatting going.
Then, I would go on Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One as we would try to finish the levels (as well as each other) and the story (which is spot on). The comedy will start up during the cut-scenes though.
Finally, I would play some SoulCalibur IV because it hilarious to see the epic fails we have on there like one time, A friend and I was playing it as it was a event we usually do then we were about the same health as each other which made us fight with our custom characters (which was fun) even harder then I fell out of the ring and into water by rolling out of the arena. I consider this one to be the best one out of three to play as the ultimate gaming night!
81
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 8:17 pm by twoofclubs
If there’s no limit on whether it’s current gen or not then it would have to be:
Rollcage Stage 2 – An insanely fast and furious racer from the days of yore that bends gravity and provided some of the best multiplayer action of my early gaming life.
LittleBigPlanet 2 – Easy to pick up and play for literally anyone and who doesn’t enjoy covering an compatriot with stickers, slapping them upside the head or firing cakes at them?
Guitar Hero : Warriors of Rock – A return to form for the series that has some of the best tracks in their history and the insane characters with some serious points scoring methods.
Food would be mini sausage rolls, pizza and a decadent cheese board to offset the ridiculous action going on. Dress code would be just comfy stuff, as boring as that it it best to be comfy when you’ll mainly be just sitting down.
82
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 8:23 pm by TheMighty_MuMbY
First choice has to be Just dance 3, me and my friends cannot dance to save our lives. But it always ends up in hesterics as long as nothing gets smashed.
Then after all that dancing, WWE 13 to regain man points by smashing heads through tables and being DQed for using the title belt to draw first blood.
Then finaly (this might sounds an odd one) we would get the popcorn out, id play uncharted 3 single player and for everybody else it’s like watching a movie. (slightly selfish but it’s my PS3 *evil laugh*)
Perfect night in.
83
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 8:27 pm by THE_FORCE
I’d only have the one game lined up…..SINGSTAR!
Any other game in a party situation just wouldn’t be as fun.
84
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 8:29 pm by NunoACMendes
First off and to get a good start to the night I’d choose Speed Freaks cuz it’s just pure fun, then and to keep the night
going i’d choose either Eternal Champions and to close the night with a bang i’d choose Quake 3 Arena.
85
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 8:30 pm by supersmith2500
Let me join in the Debate:
1. Call of Duty
From slaying zombies in Black Ops to playing free for all in Multiplayer mode. It really never gets old and if you play with this with bunch of mates over around real time or online.
2. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
What can you go wrong it’s a fighting game that is ideal for everything, you can brawl as your favourite Nintendo characters where you must get the most KO’s or trash your oppenments before they do. Fun game funtimes.
3. Gran Turismo 5
Sometimes racing games can be fun to play too, you can race against others and it’s really fun to play. =D

I have “gaming Nights” with my friends and we named them “FFN”.
It stands out as “Fatal Frame Night” and obviously we are playing Fatal Frame/Project Zero.
I choose this game because it is like watching a movie,because it is funny watching girls playing and because it is scary
87
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 8:52 pm by Alestes
Guitar Hero III and Wii Sports, together with a bunch of beer.
And then an nostalgic Streets of Rage trip at the end.

Gaming nights are more of a rarity these days, with the advent of online gaming and all. I remember many a gaming night of my teenage years playing co-op Duke Nukem 64 , Alas I’m not sure even I would want to play Black Ops 2 with a room full of my mates instead of online (maybe…probably because I’m getting old?)
These days the only reason I’d have to say “Shake it Baby” on a gaming night is playing Sports Champions with my girlfriend, which would be my first pick.
Allowing my infant son to babble into a microphone would make Singstar would make that the second and proving I’m smarter than the brother in law would make Buzz the third choice. I guess accessibility is the theme there, gaming nights for me at least these days consist of a lot of people who aren’t “Gamers” but I think this is a good thing that there are titles out there to reach out to all audiences. its a good progression for games.
Just to Cheat and I don’t want to leave it out For the rare “Guys night” it’s got to be Mortal Kombat, Fifa and whichever the latest WWE game is, which has been a good combination for a decade or so, (I guess progression isn’t always needed)

A few people mentioned Buzz on here (myself included) which makes me wonder, Why aren’t they releasing another one? now would be the perfect time and it’s been two years since the last one?
Just did a search online and saw that sony were being sued for it but won the case, maybe that’s slowed it down, but still, Come on Sony, I’d love a Buzz! movies ps3 game. The Scene it games are awful!

Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 9:20 pm by Moe_and_Sars
1st game: Uncharted 3…as Drake says:”nothing better then the smell of propane in the morning”
2nd game:Playstation all stars battle royale…who wouldn’t love it?
3rd game:Borderlands 2… I love killing some psychos
For snacks….popcorn and some chocolate bars

I do actually have a 3 game plan for my gaming nights. Though I very rarely play FPS or shooters just because it’s rare in my case that everyone can have a good time with them due to my friends having widely different skill levels. Thankfully they all drink alcohol
Game 1 – I usually start with a good old Party game (Mario Party, Warioware and Buzz! have all served me well). Any guy or gal can play them and potential win so no one get’s excluded. And there is a also lot of potential people to get screwed over in these games as well, which always livens things up
Game 2 – Rock Band 3 without fail. I have over 700 songs for the game so I force everybody to play the game to justify my investment
. People are also getting pretty tipsy by this point too, making it easier to actually get people to sing. People also find it fun too I guess
Game 3 – A button mashy fighting game (usually Tekken or Marvel VS Capcom). When everyone is too tired/drunk/lost too much of there voice to play Rock Band anymore I tend to suggest an easy to play fighting game. Because they don’t require too much effort to play and people are in such a state that anything flashy happening on screen looks amazing!
94
Posted on 7 December, 2012 at 9:33 pm by homerthegreat
Oh god and Crash Team Racing at the start too! We used to have an in house leaderboard when I was at uni for the N-Gin Labs track that people would try and beat there best times on (Spoiler: I won at the end of the year
). That game was nearly my life at uni, can’t believe I forgot it!

My all-time favourites are:
1) A game of “suspension” on PES4. Yellow card is 1pt, Red card is 3pt., Injuries are 5pt. and goals are also 5pt.. Getting suspended is an instant win. Flying players, retarded facial expressions and the option to watch a replay, what does a game night need more? Also, commentary like “They need some penetration, Trevor” cracks me up every time.
2) Timesplitters 2/FP: Best Multiplayer game ever. It really has everything. Spent many hours playing this with friends.
3) Tekken Tag Tournament (2): Always funny when your teammate pushes you off the couch because you died (again) while he was yelling “SWITCH SWITCH SWITCH SWITCH!!!!”

Mine would be
We mostly play table tennis, disc golfing and archery but when there are just tough man around we play some gladiator too.
I’ll definately pick up Sports Champions 2 for Christmas and play it with the family.
1, Sports Champions
Appearently everyone loves this game.
2, Call of Duty Zombies mode
Because you know… hacking zombies is always fun. We like to mix it up playing either CoD5, BLOPS or BLOPS 2. I love those panicky moments when someone falls on the ground with a lot of zombies around and then the other player still manages to save him. Too bad they only support 2 players in split-screen though…
3, Singstar
I must say I’m not a huge fan of this game but when there are girls around it usually gets requested. We split into two groups, boys versus girls. Almost everyone sings terrible but we still have laugh and that’s what counts right?
As for snacks we usually get some beer and a few bag of crackers and chips.

At the moment I would choose FIFA 13, because everyone loves a good match of football. Second game is When Vikings Attack. It’s easy to learn for casual gamers and great fun. Reminds me of the tons of Bomberman-games I played with some friends. The last game depends on my friends. Call of Duty: Black Ops II for the guys who like shooters and played some games before, Buzz for the non-gamers and last but not least Singstar when we drunk some beer.

3 – Golden Axe – it’s short , fun and old

We’re fighters here at home, so knowing all games…
Mortal Kombat – Being able to play 2vs2 Tag battles, 4 of us can have the time of their life reducing the opponent to dust… literally. Plus Test Your Luck, it’s fun when you’re a zombie without arms that is fighting on the top of the screen.
PlayStation All-Stars – Again, 4 players. Just that this time around it can be Kratos vs Ratchet vs Cole vs Dan. Fast action, easy to play, and lots of fun.
And last, just Soul Calibur V. We quite like the series and we quite like the changes done to the fightig system, so it is a serious competition with lots of “that’s unfair” and “why so much damage?”
Plus Voldo.
Seeing most answers though I feel we lack some racing. I should try to show them WipEout HD/Fury.

#1 – MGS3:HD – A perfect, replay able game that can be made really long or can be done in a couple of hours; an absolute classic in all aspects, this one is a necessity.
#2 – Sports Champions: 2 – Now, this one would be downright hilarious! We could fight each other or go for GOLD trophies in all events, this game has a lot of replayability.
#3 – GRAND THEFT AUTO: Complete Edition – Another classic, this one lasts me for hours as I rampage through the city like a drunk hooligan – this one will be a laugh, a challenge and a huge amount of fun!
Snack: A huge pot of chocolate raisin, don’t ask why, I simply love them. Failing that, I will resort to Cornflakes. If my friends dislike them then they can share the dog’s food.
Dress code: Mankinis – a cool, airy and refreshing outfit that will guarantee we don’t get too it whilst playing the 3 games.
Games that nearly made it: GT5, The Saboteur and Just Cause: 2.
