My cousin who I'm moving in with has a windows computer (unlike my last housemate who had a mac) so we'll have the chance to play LAN games when we want to. FPSs make him dizzy, unfortunately, and I've never really played a RTS that I liked a whole lot. Given that, anybody have many suggestions?
I'm sure we'll play a good deal of Worms and I think we'll try out Interplay's Sacrifice because I bought it the other year but other than that, I don't have much. Any good multiplayer-RPGs that are more recent than the Baldur's Gates (he liked those even though I never got that far into it... I think I quit after the character creation screen)?
good LAN games?

I hate you filthy broadband users. Privelige-rape, that is.
But: Get him to get over his FPS problem, and play Serious Sam; Serious sam multi-play co-op is one of the best games ever. Esepecially when you have 16 guys going ape-shit crazy over a network, with 500 "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhBOOOOOOOOOOM!"
It is like you go the place where dreams are made and lay Semtex everywhere.

You can always try some racing or flying games.
Or, hunt around for MAME with a Kaillera client built-in. (It's out there, but it's not current.) That'll let you play any arcade game multiplayer. There are also Kaillera-enabled emulators for most console systems.
Dungeon Siege is quite good, but I'm not sure if you can play it on the network. Actually, I'm pretty sure you can - I think there are a ton of multiplayer-only levels, but I never tried them.
If all that is too intense, you can always sit around the kitchen table and play a little Crazy Eights or Cribbage. Yeesh.
