Current / Forthcoming Multiplayer xbox360 titles?

[iGiDK]

Hey guys, looking for some input here.

For me, console gaming has always been about getting the mates round, having a few beers and getting down to some fun multiplayer gaming!

I'm thinking about getting a 360 but would mainly be buying this for the mates/beer factor, rather than relying on singleplayer or xbox live

e.g.
- Mario kart, Streetfighter on the SNES
- ISS, Tekken on PSone
- PES, Tiger Woods, Gran Turismo on PS2

What are the best current and forthcoming multiplayer titles on the 360? (all the buzz at the moment seems to be about Oblivion, GR:AW + COD2 when it was launched...*EDIT but I know that these are single player or xbox live focused)

I'm really interested in this Table Tennis game that's coming soon, DOA4 looks decent as well - any other recommendations?

Thanks in advance

Sorry, didn't word that too well

Yup, am aware that Oblivion is single player - will be checking out games on xbox live but that's obviously antisocial when the mates are round

Games like DOA4 are actually 4 player, I am also pretty certain that top spin 2 is also 4 players, though I have only played it briefly around a friends house, so cant be certain. GRAW is also 4 players. You could also try fight night, which is very popular among people.

Truthfully though, its even better to use the 360 on live. For example, have a group of 3 people come around your house, and all go on the same team on Perfect Dark zero (to name but one game that you can do it on).

Cheers for the feedback mate, didn't realise you could do that so I'll retract my comment about xbox live being antisocial Technology nowadays eh!

So, any tips on what's forthcoming that is going to cause a stir on the multiplayer side of things?

Well chaps cheers for the input, I went and purchased a 360 premium with GR:AW for £299

Picked up Fight Night and another wireless pad for about another 60 bucks so that's my weekend sorted
