Crackdown - good one player game
Gears of War - another great one player game, co-op and versus not great
Project Gotham Racing - surprisingly not a bad racer
PES 6 - a good 2 player game, not as good as the PS2 version but still good

The thing is there is 4 of us in the gaf, and we're lookin for a decent 2 player game for the 360. I've been told the boxing game is good and I've played Virtual Tennis n thought that was not bad.

Any suggestions? The lads aren't impressed with the 360 so far due to the let down of PES 6

Co-op Gears is great, how much of it did you play?

Lego Star Wars II is fun and co-op.

Guitar Hero II would be great to play with another person, but expensive seeing as you'd have to not only buy it (€100 ish), you'd also have to buy a second guitar.

Fight Night 3 is good for a laugh.

Dont get me wrong I thing Gears of War is great. Im great fan of shooters but some of the lads arent. I played Lego Star Wars on PS n wasnt impressed.

So Table Tennis and Fight Night it is then?

Dunno about Topspin 2 for the 360 but Topspin 1 for the first Xbox is great. None of us are into tennis but we've had some great nights with it. It's a 1,2 or 4 player game on the Xbox. Topspin 2 should be pretty cheapish now too.

Fight Night is great, and Forza Motorsport 2 is out soon, so if you want to blow your friends away with the 360, then that's the game you want.
looks amazing.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance is a great Co-Op game, and you can play it with up to four players if you have the pads.
The same with Smackdown vs Raw 2007, if you're into wrestling. If not, it's still a good two-four player game.

There are a lot of good shooting co-op games (I spent months playing Rainbow 6:Vegas terrorist hunts over and over again with a friend!:p), but if your friends aren't big into shooters then there's no real point I suppose.

Try a few Arcade games as well if you have broadband access.
Small Arms is amazing fun (kinda like Super Smash Brothers).

Fight Night and I'm suprised noone mentioned Tiger Woods golf. Great craic in multi-player

yeah I got hooked on Tiger 2004 on the original xbox... though havent the messed it up a little, changing the way you aim?

Is Marvel Ultimate Alliance more than a button basher?

Yes and no.

At first it does seem like button bashing, but once you level up, and develop more powers costumes, and characters, it stops being so.
It gets fairly tactical with different teams complimenting each other in different ways.

It's a mad laugh in four player as well, cause you can choose to work on the same team as your friends, but the game records who killed the most, so you're competing against each other.

Marvel ultimate alliance is great.Tiger woods on the ps2 was the best 4 player experiance ever!Many nights and many euros wasted so id say that itd be good for 360.Fight night is cool but 2 played loses its charm after awhile id say vitua tennis 3 should be the business when its relased.

dunno about compatibility but world championship rugby (from the makers of johah lomu) is a good two player on the xbox. They also released a sequel last year.

I bought Football Manager 2007 (XtraVision) and Tiger Woods 07 (HMW) yesterday for €100. TW07 has to be the best version of the series by far. Putting is alot more difficult and the graphics are excellent. Those fans at the side of the fairway can get annoying as the block potential run ons but makes you perfect your game more. Virtual Tennis is out but was warned off it in the shop (I played it once thought it was okay) by shop assistant. Says to get bored of it quick enough and not worth the 70 smackers.

Fight Night cannot be found in Carlow, Athy, Newbridge, Rathmines or Dublin City Centre. I found one second hand copy for 50 quid - not paying that! Didnt know it was that popular. Makes me wanna get it more so now!

Getting a copy of Perfect Dark Zero for a tenner, that should be enough to add to my collection for the time being

So Ive got these 4 games...
