    You're a cooperative game mode-lover like me? Awesome. I'm in somewhat of a similar situation where my brother and I used to always game cooperatively over the home network (or via Lan-tunneling with Hamachi). Here are some of our favourites:

    Homeworld 2
    Rainbow Six Raven Shield
    Diablo 2
    Dungeon Siege 1 and 2
    Quake 3 Arena
    Rise of Nations
    Starlancer and Freelancer

    System Shock 2 is great fun in Co-op if you can get it working on XP/Vista :thumb:

    System Shock 2 coop gets a double-staff-uber-vote. I'd also suggest the following:

    Serious Sam 1 - some frentic FPS action thats truly hilarious and fun
    Garrys Mod - for some creative building and posing. Making stuff is cool.
    No One Lives Forever 2 - A slightly different coop campaign which cleverly fills in the blanks left in the singleplayer story.

    Or, just wait for Left4Dead.

    The best 1 on 1 LAN game's I've ever had have been in C&C games. C&C3 is spectacular and that would be my first choice. Second would be the original, Tiberium Dawn.

    -Postal 2 (good if you want to offend someone/make them throw up)
    -Age of Mythology (great game, kinda old but a classic)
    -Doom 3 (lots have complained about it, but I enjoyed it)

    Those are all I can think of right now. All the other suggestions are great games too. Good luck finding a fun one. :thumb:

    Sid Meyer's Railroads!
    Can be fun for a bit, but definately can cause tensions

    The Civilization Franchise - if you have literally HOURS to kill.

    Thats the first game I thought of when I saw the title. And iirc, the free demo lets you play a 2 person lan game, but only two people, anymore and you have to buy it.
