PS3 multi (4) players

[AlexFl]

Have 2 PS3s. 4 controllers. Linked to router. Any games out there that 4 of us can play? Together or against one another. Online or offline (?). Would really like to hear how to keep family busy through winter holidays... Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Would I need to look at the 'max LAN players' column? Do I need to change any of the LAN or PS3 configs?

Edit: Do I need to buy these games? If so, must I buy 2 sets?

Yep, max LAN - offline 4 means 4 of you playing on one console on 1 TV

Yes, if you want to play on two consoles over a LAN, you will need a copy for each PS3

The most fun I've had with 4 players on a single console, is playing a reboot of an old console classic - Atomic Bomberman.
You'll find it as a cheap download on the console PSN store, and never look back.

Dead Island and Dead Island Riptide, but only 1 person per console (LAN and online)
Little big planet 1 and 2 (up to 8 on a single console)
All the borderlands games, up to 4 per console if I remember correctly(LAN and online)
Black ops 2 zombies was a lot of fun with 4 players and 2 consoles

These are the games I've played so far

That's super kind of you all. Thanks, will start Googling a few of these and see what I can still find in stores/online

Now if only they did vertical split instead of horizontal...

As a racing game fan I prefer horizontal.
