Hey guys, is it possible to build a gaming PC, and have it in your living room, so that you can play local multi-player, like you would with a console, only with PC level graphics? 

 

As always, thanks for your help. :)

Generally you can have 1x keyboard+ mouse and then a controller (ps3 or xbone or ps2) for the other player in a lot of games such as borderlands 2 (up to 4 players) and left 4 dead 2 and a lot of others; check out co-optimus for more details on splitscreen PC games.

Left for dead? This is why Halo should be on PC... I suppose for stuff like that I could run an emulator?

Do you mean multiple controllers hooked up to the PC?

 

As for Halo, it's on the PC: http://www.amazon.com/Halo-Combat-Evolved-Pc/dp/B00009TW6R

For simplicity just get a console. I know that's not what your looking for but next gen graphics will be better and equal to a cheap pc's.

Thanks!

there's also the ability to have an unlimited amount of controllers :P you can play some of those old classic PS2 games with better textures, anti-aliasing and other things ^_^ they look pretty damn good with them to be honest e.g.

I meant all the Halos really, sorry. Unless they all are and I'm living in a hole? That would make me happy. And yeah, two or more controllers.

You can play old driving games with support for up to 8 players :D and they look nice xD well nicer much much nicer at the higher resolution and all the filters and stuff
