Good morning members, I need some suggestions from you. Me and my friends, usually a group of 8-10 regularly play at LAN Cafe's. From the last 6-7 months we keep switching between GTA IV and Counter Strike 1.6. Can you guys suggest some other games that work in LAN which can be played without any trouble for free.(You know what I mean :D)

Warcraft 3 frozen throne (there are millions of custom maps and many of them designed specially for LAN play)

NFS
Fifa

If you have a good internet connection in your pub, then its great fun playing MMOs in a group

Try SWAT 4 on LAN, I've been playing this game for 5 years on Multiplayer.

Also, Don't forget to try Quake , Unreal tournament series. Loads of fun =)

You can try BF2, BF3 too.

ahahaha!!!

someone called me?

also, you can setup a private WoW server and play for free, without paying any fees.
but that takes a bit of time, and effort, not really recommended for a casual play party

Total fun, borderlands in single player is as boring as its fun in multiplayer(co op), wish the next one would have deathmatches, not that challenge cr@p.

Well I kinda enjoyed singleplayer too. But MP is totally insane and kinda easy also with companions helping each other at critical times. Also some powers are specially designed for MP.

Been playing bo for about a week now..the game is fun to play in sp too... but lacks a coherent storyline to keep the things interesting.
Characters are quite lively! but for no good reason:razz:
