   Good 2-Player Games?
  Hi all,Does anyone have any suggestions for good two player games for my girlfriend and I to play? We've played Red Alert, Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 3, Warcraft 3, Age Of Empires 2 and C&C Generals, which are all RTS', but any genre except FPS  is fine.Preferably free or shareware, but commercial is fine if it's worth it :PSo - suggestions?   
  How could you leave out Red Alert 2 and C&C: Gold?!?Other than that: GTA2, Soldat, Company Of Heroes, Starcraft, Rise Of Nations and Empire Earth would be my suggestions.   ;  I bet she can beat your ass playing worms.   ;  Liero >> Worms.   ;  World of Goo for the Wii!   ;  For some reason my wife really likes a good action rpg. We played Diablo 2 many times, and the Baldur's Gate games for the PS2. More recently we've played Titan Quest and it's expansion and Sacred 2.   ;  Well, not necessarily the same thing, but I've been playing Lego Indiana Jones and Lego Star Wars with my daughter (3yrs old), and to my surprise it's actually quite enjoyable!The games, not surprised about playing with my daughter being enjoyable :)   ;.;  I was going to suggest the Civilization series, but then I remembered I played that over a LAN with a friend and it successfully redefined the word "boring".I would maybe suggest Rome:Total War or such like.  Unlike other RTSs where the person with the most money can spam until they win, Rome:TW has you choosing your army before the battle starts and you fight with what you have, with no reinforcements.  I find that a lot more fun because it encourages you to be resourceful with what you have instead of amassing £££ and spamming cheap units until the enemy folds.  Whenever I've played C&C online with high ranked players that's all they do; I've never seen any true and intelligent skill.Bear in mind that I'm referring to the quick battle mode (or whatever it's called, I don't have my copy on me right now) and not the campaign which IIRC isn't multiplayer anyway.  Rome Total War is approaching five years old and should be cheap, plus it's on Steam alongside the other Total War games so you don't even need to track down a disc.   ;Quote:Original post by JSoftwareHow could you leave out Red Alert 2 and C&C: Gold?!?Other than that: GTA2, Soldat, Company Of Heroes, Starcraft, Rise Of Nations and Empire Earth would be my suggestions.Ah, I forgot about RA2 actually, I'll have to give that a go. She doesn't like any of the GTA games or Starcraft; I'll look into Rise of Nations and Empire Earth too.Quote:Original post by owlI bet she can beat your ass playing worms.Probably. Worms is a good idea...Quote:Original post by ukdeveloperI was going to suggest the Civilization series, but then I remembered I played that over a LAN with a friend and it successfully redefined the word "boring".Yeah, we both have Civ 2, but I suspect that'd take a full day to play multiplayer.Quote:Original post by ukdeveloperI would maybe suggest Rome:Total War or such like.
