you know how it is..youve got about 3 or 4 of your best buddies over at your place. the beer bottles start to open, the drinking occurs,..then someone starts to talk trash,..and to prevent your backhand from slapping them clear into last week, you reserve your hostility and resort to taking the grudge match to the game system to see who reigns supreme.

if youre creative, you make bets that who ever loses, buys beer next time.

so what game and/or game console do you think stands up as being the best to have a trash talking session on?

here are some honorable nominations:

super smash bros on n64
mortal kombat deception=multiplatform
smash tv=ps2 midway arcade treasures
dance dance revolution
any season of madden, nba, nhl, or mlb
halo 1 & 2
street fighter II
tekken 3
twisted metal series
monopoly=multiplatform
need for speed series
gran turismo
juiced
ridge racer
any wrestling game
star wars battlefront

NHL Hitz or NFL Blitz are good ones for me. As well as Wii Sports Boxing.

Planet Puzzle League! ....Maybe. lol.

Oh, I should add Jump Super/Ultimate Stars, for you importers. I haven't ever heard 4 grown men get so excited about beating up manga characters.

Well, as my friends and I don't lower ourselves to playing sports games (personal opinion, I understand that some people enjoy them for some unfathomable reason) and I don't particularly like racing games, that leaves Super Smash Brothers Melee as a favourite. Other options are Mario Party, Mario Kart, Time Splitters 2 and Anaconda (hidden game in the first level of Time Splitters 2), but they're much less common as less of my friends have them.

I have to say, when it comes to trash talk, nothing does it for me like NFL Street 2.

Actually, now that I think of it, 90% of my swearing is during Super Smash Bros Melee games.

I would definitely say I do the most trash talking during Smash Bros. Melee. Following that, maybe any multiplayer FPS like Unreal Tournament, etc.
