Most of my suggestions have already been listed.

However, I found Swat4 to actually be a pretty fun LAN game, especially at smaller LAN parties.

Starcraft is always fun (and runs on about any comp)

Tracknations is also a hit

Dont forget Flatout2

Throw in a Poker tournament to kill a bit of time

My boy and I used to while away the hours playing AvP against each other.
He prefered the Preditor but got pretty good at the alien. I prefered the marine.
