Most Family Friendly - Castle Crashers

If you can get a cooperative multiplayer match up and running (most likely playing locally), Castle Crashers is the one game that'll get the family crowded around the television set on a midweek evening. The too cute art style, simplistic controls, lovable charm and upbeat soundtrack just have the ability to lure in friends and family. It's really the Xbox Live Arcade game that everyone can have fun with and (surprisingly enough) we even find game spectators to enjoy the hack and slash experience. That is, again, if you can get a multiplayer game working.
