I'm going to be around a bunch of relatives during a family reunion in 2 weeks and I want to get some couch multiplayer going. Anyone got a good list of the noteworthy local multiplayer games? I'm currently planning on HDMIing my laptop into a TV for this which unfortunately rules Sports Friends out since it's apparently not on PC yet.
So the games I can think of off the top of my head excluding retro games are Niddhogg, Gang Beasts (which is free to download), Divekick (which I have) and Samurai Gunn. Not really interested in Towerfall, not sure where I can find... HAWAHG that game where you bide your time until the world ends, or if's a good game for this sort of thing. Starwhal I guess is an option but they didn't seem terribly thrilled by it. The PC version of You Don't Know Jack doesn't have controller support so that's out... That game where 3 players are monsters and 1 player is a player could be good, though maybe it'd be a little long.
I'm hoping to get together some games with relatively short rounds that can be dumb fun and get people in and out relatively fast. I think Niddhogg, Gang Beasts, Divekick and Samurai Gunn fit that description. I'd love to know if there are more I'm overlooking. Also if someone had a list of local coop games of this ilk that'd be rad to know about.
