Comment by Santosh on October 7, 2010 at 8:07am: Sure, we still need gamers to make it interesting.

Comment by Saager Mhatre on October 6, 2010 at 11:57pm: Guys, are we looking at another date for this?

Comment by Santosh on August 21, 2010 at 11:12am: Only 6 RSVP's yet, please help spread the word with fellow gamers!

Comment by Saager Mhatre on August 15, 2010 at 5:08pm: Ooh! and I almost forgot- Scorched Earth. Minimum learning curve, infinite stupidity-induced fun!

Comment by Saager Mhatre on August 15, 2010 at 5:06pm: The Sandtrap in Halo 3 is an amazing timewaster for small groups; Guardian works well for larger audiences with rotation.

I'd suggest Homeworld; I have the media and don't mind making copies. Would prefer people buy it though, worth every penny. It's a pretty old full-3D-RTS-space-exploration-action game.

Also, PS3 fans like myself I've got Killzone2, Uncharted2 and LittleBigPlanet. And for retro gamers, I've got the Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection for the PS3.
