Hi, My brother and me have had this problem for a while: The multiplayer games we used to play often are getting boring, we wanna try something different. Can anyone point me to good multiplayer games that are fun, fast, not too expensive (possibly indie games?), replayable. I'm thinking along the lines Warcraft 3: fun style and good multiplayer. We used to play Age Of Empires 2, but it doesn't have to be strategy. Could be tactics. Coop would be cool but not necessary. RPG. anything fun. No FPS if possible, my mother will kill me if I make my younger brother play those Any ideas?

I suggest:
Starcraft - either Brood War or Wings of Liberty, both are excellent multiplayer games.
Doom - the original, that is. Get a sourceport like ZDoom or Skulltag, download one of the recently released megawads, and have some cooperative fun. Hexen also makes a great coop game, since it involves a lot of adventuring and puzzle solving.
Minecraft - fun game, good way to waste some hours. Start a private server on your LAN and have at it.
EDIT: oops. Doom and Hexen are violent FPS games, so nevermind. But the other games are still good options.
How old is your brother anyway?

StarCraft2 Wings of Lyberty - No questions. Great game, many nice custom maps/mods and a cool map editor (If you get it, add me: ReiAyanami # 379)

I would've said Age of Empires 2, but you guys already have it. Do you have the Conquerors expansion? Magicka can be a bit buggy but is an absolute riot, and can be played multiple players on one PC if you have gamepads. It's got lots of on-your-toes strategy and is quite addictive. Jibb

There are many many Browsergames, it has the advantage that you can play them from anything that can access the internet. http://www.pennergame.de/If you want to play online with your little brother, and your parents dont want him to play "KILLER GAMES", then Minecraft is the coolest choice. He can build your mother a nice Castle to show

I often have this problem with my brother too. I kinda want torchlight multiplayer like games, i don't know why noone ever made it... it's just Diablo with WoW graphics, oh well.
We play some Borderlands again, but in your case it wouldn't fit.
So yeah: - Magicka (you will laugh a lot :P) - Minecraft - League of Legends (free DotA game) - Starcraft I+II - Open Transport Tycoon - Diablo 2 (or simliar, like Baldurs Gate, Titan Quest, ..) - Trine - The Settlers II
