Recommendations For Starting a Gaming Group

[shayned1997]

A friend of mine and I are starting a gaming "club" type thing at my school. We are still trying to get ideas together of what exactly we want to have played and done with the group. What i was wondering is if I could get some help from you guys with recommending games that we could play at the "club". Looking for anything PC or console (not including ps4 or XBone) that is good at a LAN. PC we are looking more at large group games for example LoL, Dota2, TF2. For Console Games we are open to anything but right now we are thinking Smash Bro's, mario kart, guitar hero. Looking for games that are also "school" appropriate within reason it is a high school so they are a bit more flexible. Yes this was posted in the PC gaming section as well but i didn't get many responses there and i am adding more information to this post. Other than games open to any help/recommendations to do wit the group. 

Also for the PC games looking at either free or on the cheap side. Not sure how strong the Pc's we will be using will be so if you could give a range of graphical intensity as well. As for server stuff, we have the school IT guy working with us so servers shouldnt be a huge deal. 

Please and Thanks for the help everyone =)

IMO Garry's Mod is a GREAT game to play with a bunch of friends It is also easy to run (I ran it at max settings at 1080P on Intel 4000HD Graphics ) and it only costs $10 but commonly goes on sale for $5 or sometimes even $2.50

i recommend a mix of versus and co op style games,

 

provide snacks (you can ask everyone pays a bit)

 

don't do anything tournament based till a month or 2 in.

 

and as others have said, halo is great.
