Mario Kart DD and Super Mario Strikers are favorites in our house.

I've got to second Mario Strikers.. and any version of Mario Party. Mario Party with the winner of each mini-game taking shots gets really interesting into about the second game.

If you can meet the requirements I'd check this one out too.. but it's more of a long-term experience as opposed to the pick-up-and-play nature of everything else on the list. Still, it's easily the best multi-player game ever in my opinion.. as long as you've got four people willing to be total dicks to each other all night.

winner takes shots? Shouldn't it be the losers?

Four Swords we've already played through and sold off.
It was fun as hell though.

Mario Strikers I don't have anymore either; might rent it

Fuzion Frenzy XBOX. The most underrated game on the system.

Ahh, yes. I recall hours of fun with this title and 3 other friends.
I know it wasn't listed as one of the consoles by the OP, nevertheless, I believe Fuzion Frenzy 2 is out today or tomorrow for the Xbox 360.

Ahh yes, Boozin Frenzy (as we call it). If anything, it's a bit easier on the 360 as it runs slightly slower. I'd pick up the Big Bumpin BK game and download the FF2 demo on Marketplace as well.

If you don't have Fuzion Frenzy, the Halo discs have a demo.

The minigames on Pokemon Stadium 2 for the N64 are absurdly fun.

And Wii Sports. Get 4 Wiimotes if you can.

I was reading the other thread about the BK xbox games. Fun and cheap? I'm all for it. Thanks for the suggestion.

When it comes to xbox live is it by xbox or by account? Example I have xbox live on my xbox at home. However, I'm going to friends house and they do not have xbox live. Can I login to XBL with my account on someone else's xbox?

Pushed back to Feb. Though it is being done by a different developer, the best of FF I have been carried over so at least a few games will still be money.

There is a pretty bad lag on the "orbs" missions at the end on the 360. I can't handle it and it is the sole reason why I held onto my XBOX (and Bond's EON and Chessmaster).

That was probably a house rule to keep the one guy *cough* Pixy! *cough* from running away with the game. I'm sure that's designed to handicap the better players.

Wiisports would be my pick, since it's new and different and easy for anyone to pick up and play.

OK, Fuzion Frenzy 2 noted. Thanks to both thelwig and The Bus on the feedback regarding this.
