Knight Squad

Very fun with friends. Concurrent local + online multiplayer, but hard to find matches.

Knight Squad is one of those games you can guarantee a fun time from when joined by a few friends. The mechanics are immensely easy to memorize and the overview perspective prevents disorientation for the not-so-hardcore gamers & younger players. There's a large variety of game types to pick from and the matches can be as quick or long as you desire. Bots can fill up empty spots at varying difficulties. Due to the lack of blood & gore, I would imagine that younger children would like the simplicity and be able to enjoy the game as much as adults. If you're looking for an amusing party game, pick this up without hesitation. It's a bit tough to find online matches, but getting some friends to join has yet to leave me with a disappointing experience.

This really is one of those games that's fun for the whole family. It's simple fast paced arcade type gameplay with quite a few different modes, and supports local multiplayer, as well as online. I got it for free with Xbox games with gold but I would pay the $14.99 asking price.

We play this game every single time we have a party. It is extremely easy to pick up and play (even for non-gamers) but always provides a ton of frantic fun. It also supports up to 8 local players, and having 8 friends playing together always results in a loud but great time!

This is a 1 button game, meaning that the entire game can be played using 1 button, yet its great fun for both experienced and unexperienced gamers. Maybe not worth $15 though.
