What games to use?

[CWLite]

I am going to start up a videogames tournment fundraising event in my area soon. I am wondering what games I will pick to use. This will be open to the local churches and have them invite their friends. This is a ministry oportunity aswell, so this is to be a Godly atmosphere. I would like to use team play games like Halo2, but violence will be an issue. Sports and driving games would be cool also.

What genre should I focus on and what game in that genre should I use?

Might I suggest TopSpin Tennis?? This is a FUN game, while it's only 2 player... we have tournaments at work ongoing and it's great!! (It sounded boring to me at first, but it's fabulous!)

And I think this idea you have is a wonderful one!

I also suggest Top Spin
or any other sports game you like.

Thanks guys. Yeah, tennis is great. I used to play virtua tennis a lot with friends, it was awesome.

What kind of driving games should I use, if I use?

For a wholesome game that ANYONE can use I would suggest EyeToy! It's fun. My 2 year old love it and my mom has even done it!

 

[Dust and Ashes]

I'd say racing because it will have a broad appeal as will sports.

I have never heard of 'eye toy', but is sounds a little young for the demographic I am aiming for. Children don't need saving. But thanks for your suggestion though.

for a racing game i would pick burnout3 or need4speed underground 1 or 2.
they are good 2 player racing/crashing/drifting/skill racing games. there are different choces. the only bad thing about need4speed is that it might take awhile to get the car you want, because u can customize it & getting ready for a race is not as fast as burnout3.

Yeah, NFSU2 would take too long to set up. I would like a game that I could link together. Actually, I wonder is PGR2 would work? Hey, thanks for the suggestion, I'll still look into it.

Super Smash Bros. Melee, anyone? That's probably one of the best tournament games out there right now. Tekken also would work well, methinks.

RTS games (Starcraft, etc) might take too much time. Mario Tennis would probably work. Maybe Timesplitters 2? Or maybe take it oldschool and do a Goldeneye tourny. Medal of Honor? Call of Duty?

All kinds of ideas. There's waaaay more than just... Halo (blech).

I don't really know too much about GameCube. Can you link them?

 

[morningstar2651]

Sports aren't the best idea...you want things with at least 4 player capability.

That is why I think Halo2 would be a great game to start off with. 16 players and very customizable. I think 2 on 2 hockey would be fun, well, maybe thats just me. Thanks.

I don't think gamecubes link...I haven't tried with mine at least.

 

[Lithium Hobo]

FPS. Those are ALWAYS the best team games and with games like Halo, Halo 2, and...umm...other games, you're sure to draw a crowd.

 

[RazorX]

I would also suggest Timesplitters 2. That is one of the best FPS multiplayer games on the PS2 by far. And of course like everyone else said, Halo and Halo 2 but thats a given.

The only games that you can link currently are Mario Kart: Double Dash and (I think) Kirby's Air Ride (which is a mediocre game anyways, so I wouldn't reccomend it).

Since there would be a violence issue in FPS's then I choose racing games. Games such as NFS Underground 2 would be great b/c you can system link them if you're using xbox's.
