Hi all!
We're having another LAN party in November and I am creating a list of fun, accessible games to play for our ca. 15 participants. With "accessible" I mean games that are easily aquired, cheap (not necessarily if the game is great) or free. We mostly play on PC but also have a PS3, XBOX360 and N64 available, I will concentrate on PC games though. For the interested, that's how our attic LAN looks like: http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/s8kp3/i_see_your_gaming_basement_and_raise_you_our/
Now I could use your help, to get the most out of our LAN party. Here is which games I have got listed so far:

I hope this question is not too general and I would love to hear your recommendations, must plays and thoughts! Thanks and cheers
Cheers
EDIT: a lot of good tips coming in, going to update the list accordingly as soon as I find the time! THANKS GUYS!
EDIT2: Adding some games and some price classes to create a more clearly arranged list. Inputs and feedback welcome. Also there are mistakes, lots of them probably.
EDIT3: Gonna use this list for all your input, maybe it will come in handy for other people as well. Probably not every game is as "accessible" as promoted in the OP, but maybe I will be able to mark that somehow.
EDIT4: The list is getting really long with all your suggestions, thanks guys! If other people have the time to sort through the list a bit and add player capacity, URLs to the games and such stuff, feel free to do so and post here or PM! I would then update the list accordingly!
**EDIT5: post was re-activated, as soon as I get to it, I will update it with all the posts you made! Probably tomorrow because my gf just came home from Belgrad! Ty for your patience!**
