You'll probably want at least one of these to charge the controllers (or you'll end up paying over the odds in batteries).

May be a single player, but it's certainly in the student spirit. Destroying zombies with lawnmowers, guitars and sledgehammers is the perfect way to put off that essay that needs to be in tomorrow...

A great way to utilize the four controllers you've got hold of, and far superior to Virtua Tennis 3.

Simple and accessible multiplayer action, especially if you only have the one controller. A must for every console.
Gears of War (Xbox 360)Gears of War (Xbox 360)

Not my cup of tea, but I've heard big things about this game. I'd better put it in or I'll be hunted down by some GOW (as it is known) fan.

Again not strictly essential, but when you're bored of Pro Evo and fancy making a couple of butch guys roll around in shorts then this is the way forward. Highly addictive!!
Viva Pinata: Limited Edition (Xbox 360)Viva Pinata: Limited Edition (Xbox 360)
Buy new: £8.75 / Used from: £7.75
Classic stuff. Not multiplayer but it'll bring the house together, then tear it apart as you fight over who gets the next go. We lost a whole month to this beast.

One of the only non-shoot-'em-up 360 titles that boasts 4 player. Go on, I'll say it... It hit me for six (ouch).
