Better Multiplayer LAN games?

OK, in your opinions, what are the better LAN games?
My wife, son, and I like to play the odd thing, and the wife is dedicated to fantasy RPG, ala Dungeon Siege, so any major shoot-em-up's she probably won't like.
Not into SIMs, nor Age of Whatever types...anything with too steep a learning curve will just frustrate my son (he's challenged).
Give me some ideas please.
TIA.

Give Sacrifice a try.

It's an RTS, but the interface is really easy to learn.

Was game of the year from several gaming sites a couple years back, shame they never supported it with later patches, could've been a really popular game.

Stracraft is a pretty good game, fun to play, pretty simple...but it is a war game so your wife might not like it but if you want to check it out www.blizzard.com... maybe she might

Rune

The idea behind the game is simple Kill all opponents with your choice of Sword, Axe or Hammer.
After a while you pick upspecial movements with certain weapons.
I love the game personly, hope you enjoy.
