Online Multiplayer Games

[TomBobBlender]

I love playing video games, but I enjoying them much more when I am playing them with others. That being said, please post responses to this post of ANY GAME you can think of that has multiplayer that you think I should consider. Go ahead and list games I already have, for the sake of anybody new here that is unfamiliar with my collection. It would help if you could describe the game a little bit, what system(s) they are for, and how many players can play simultaneously.

I think I heard that you said you had Pokemon Battle Revolution but I don' believe i've ever seen you play it. It could be a good way to stream pokemon battles. Though of course it would alwas be Tom Vs. 1 other person.

I'll add more later, but here are a couple for now.

Game: Castle Crashers
System(s): Xbox 360 (Live Arcade)
Max Number of Players: 4
Description: Up to 4 people quest to help hunt down a princess in this side scrolling beat 'em up.

Game: Castlevania: Harmony of Despair
System(s): Xbox 360 (Live Arcade)
Max Number of Players: 6
Description: Up to 6 players join up to cooperatively go through several variations of Dracula's castle in order to level up, find items, and of course kill the count once again.

Killing Floor (PC).
Players: Typical team is 6, but custom servers can allow more.

It's a Unreal Tournament 2004 mod that eventually became it's own standalone game. Basically it's an FPS that sends waves of zombies (different classes) at your team, ending with a final boss after the waves. It is a little repetitive, but there are many maps (both built-in and user-submitted), 7 classes to choose from, and most importantly I own it on Steam (and would love to play a game w/ Tom). It would be good to play on one night or so (maybe Dead End during Shocktober?)

Game: StarCraft II
