Abdul, it's an excellent idea. LAN-parties are fun.
Of real-time strategy-games (RTS), I suggest:
* "Worms"-series, in a class of its own.
* "Company of Heroes"-series (it's actually tactical fun, but I digress), RTS.
* "Close Combat-series", which is so old, it can run on any machine after 1998, but is great fun, nonetheless. RTS and one shooter.
* "Empire: Total War"-series, e.g. on Napoleon, RTS
* "StarCraft 2" would no doubt sink my laptop.
-- and also:
* "Operation Flashpoint"-series. The older ones run on any machines, but are very playable. The latest one, 'Dragon Rising', sinks my laptop. OK, this one is a complex first-person shooter ;)
* "Call of Duty"-series, for more first-person shooting.
* "Silent Hunter 5", submarine simulator.. for the very patient hunters.
* RISK :D On a table - and snacks and wine/beer. I have the Tolkien-RISK, as well as the regular RISK.
I suppose, I could go on.. ;) Check out the demos on www.steam.com
P.S., if one can't join for some reason, there's also the option of using LAN over Internet via Hamachi to sort-of join the LAN-party.
