I'm moving into a houseshare soon and we're all up for some gaming, it will feel quite nostalgic since I haven't really done it much since I was at school and I'm a PC gamer so local multiplayer has never been on the agenda. The days of taking my controller and games to a mates house are gone sadly.

I have a PS3 and was looking for some suggestions up to 4 player although 2 is good enough. These are what I currently have:

PES 2014
Playstation all stars battle royale
Everybody's Golf
Buzz
Modnation racing

I am actually shocked in having to ask, what happened to local multiplayer games? Why are they so hard to find? I used to buy FIFA and enjoy the lounge mode but they took that off in 2012, pretty much a simple point league system that was excellent when it came to local multiplayer.

Anyway I think that's a conversation for another thread, any help would be much appreciated!
 
Buy a GC and Smash Bros Melee and you'll be sorted ;)

I don't enjoy playing online, I do however play SSBM occasionally with my mates in the same room which I find far more enjoyable
 
You know what a Gamecube sounds like a good idea, it's a real shame developers are less and less making games to play with mates who are actually in the same room as you.

I think Tekken sounds good, I was always crap at fighting games but hey can't win them all.

Cheers for all the input.

Funnily enough a mate of mine came round yesterday evening who's a big Nintendo fan. We dusted off my old Cube and played SSB, MarioKart and F-Zero. It's the most fun I've had with videogames for a long time.

Seriously, me and a few mates tried playing stuff like COD and Halo against each other, but it wasn't that fun tbh.. Halo wasn't that bad but COD wasn't good.

SSMB is fantastic though it can get a bit dry if you play it too much but you can always introduce new made up rules to spice it up.
We have one which is you can't be anyone you like so you have to be a character you hate playing with.... FU Peach
 
TimeSplitters 2...what awesomeness that was!

In the meantime I've gone and bought fairly cheaply a couple of playstation move controllers and a few games. I spent about £30 and ended up with 2 controllers, the camera, a navigation controller and 5 games.

I was actually shocked just how good Playstation Move was, and if it wasn't for a lack of games it would be seriously be one of the best things I've ever got for the PS3. Frisbee golf is mentally fun, table tennis etc. So yea, for now I think I'm sorted, although when a nice used gamecube crops up I think that will be a cool purchase too.
