Sorry, have to bring CS in again...BF2 is fun with bots on LAN too (there's a work around for that :P)

It does depend how many friends you have playing though, because shooters will tend to get boring pretty quickly if there's only 2 of you....wheras a strategy (try AOE3) will be a good game whether or not there are 6 or 7 crazy mates around you :D

I still prefer playing online with friends, you can team up and thrash someone that you don't even know! (Sorry)

CS remains classic for LAN play because of well balanced game-play.

Same can be said for that other even older standby Starcraft.

Many of the newer games try to get fancy and that doesn't lend well to LAN play.

I prefer to play CS 1.6 on LAN partys.

Games like AoE are always becomming boring to me, i don't have fun with those strategy games. (maybe because of im to stupid for those games xS)

Keep gaming!

FIFA will be good
 

hey sufi nice meeting you.i usually play counter strike that kind of games .i heard fifa2008 is very good in lan gamse.why dont you try that.dorry i cant say any suggestions right now because i havent play that.ok

What it all comes down to at a lan is speed. Our lans usually end up including starcraft, but only about one game because it takes too long. With this in mind, I bring you two perfect lan games, crazily high speed and not to difficult to learn... if you're not a moron. For the RTS genre, there is really only one thing I can suggest: Emperor: Battle for Dune. It's incredible speed ensures that within 5 minutes of your first game's start, one player will have been annihilated. Very balanced, but very fast gameplay. For the FPS genre, I give you a free game: Warsow. It is without a doubt the fastest fps there is. It's cell shaded graphics always look very clean, if not amazing, and the space-pun style is quite interesting. But Warsow's main draw is the speed: while you may walk at a slower speed by default than quake or unreal, it is highly unlikely you will be walking: bunny hopping, strafe jumping, rocket jumping, and plasma climbing are the staples of the game. It's not many games in which you see two people moving in opposite directions at 3x walking speed have a midair no-scope sniping firefight. Definitely a valuable addition to your lan games; if you can handle it.

Really I am whole time working on the LAN and playing networking game. I very much like to play all that game.
Here some my favourite networking game form my list.
Battlefield: 1942
Battlefield: Vietnam
Battlezone
Battlezone 2
Baulder's Gate
Baulder's Gate 2
Blood
Blood 2
Bomberman
Call of Duty
Capture the Flag
Carmegeddon

Really all are very interesting to play. I will give advice to play it.
