PS3 Multiplayer games

[firstborn]

I'm buying a PS3 for the bar in a Uni Hall of res. Wondering what should I be getting in terms of good multiplayer games etc.

Cheers

i would have thought in a bar environment you want games you can pick up and enjoy for like 5-10 mins...

you'd be better off with a wii and get smash bros, mario kart, wii sports and the like... no?

to really enjoy COD4 and games like that you need at least a good hour...

saying that, i might be talking out of my arse and i'm not even sure if the wii games i mentioned are out yet... but i do know when i was at uni the gamecube was the source of much fun

I'm also buying a Wii, but as I already have one myself I'm more upto date on what's what there.

As for hoards of drunken students, hardly anyone uses the bar for it's intended purpose these days - so thought a few consoles may drag a few more bodies in. If it goes down well I have a plan to get a few more large screens and consoles. We'll see.

Thanks for all the replies

i wouldnt even bother sticking a console in the bar, it would be a terrible waste of money, unless your charging for people using it, e.g. like a pool table

Nope no charge - at the moment the bar is empty bar a few soles chucking the odd dart and playing the quiz machine. So trying a few things to get people in to use the communal space. Also the non-drinkers tend to avoid the bar (for obvious reasons), so want to offer more than a place to enjoy a pint. Am I wandering off topic....

Well I've shorlisted:

PS3 + COD4, FIFA'08, Singstar & Guitar Hero 3 and extra contorllers
Wii + Mario Galaxies, Mario & Sonic at the Olympics, Metroid Prime 3 Resident Evil. I also have a load of Wii software that I'll share.

We have a projector and a large screen TV so hopefully this'll go down well.
