Depends on the game but generally it is noticably chopier as the processer has to do alot more. Some games do it better than others and some we just never designed to be able to do it properly without compromising the single screen experience I guess. I've been playing through Renegade Ops...

Mate there's still various games out there that have split screen co-op along with on-line features on both Xbox 360 and PS3. Some games I can play online with mates but I chose to go to their house and still play online on the same server but in the same room as makes communication ect...

He asked for feedback on games that you thought were over rated but still ENJOYED!. Some people didn't pay attention to that key part - enjoyed. Sure there are already plenty of topics about over rated games and there are heaps of over rated games out there that are not enjoyable. Sorry but...

Yes but no doubt Halo "borrowed" elements from games that came well before it. If it enhanced those or made better use of those elements then good for it. Favourite all-round game is probably System Shock 2. Amazing atmosphere, interface, story, gameplay, depth, challenge, replayability...

Not suprised price has been dropped considering the SE Zues (PSP2 that doubles as a cell phone) is launching. Should allow you to download the legacy PSP games I guess. PSP2 is going to have significantly increased power over PSP1 and the associated price tag no doubt. I have always thought...

Yes I used to think PC gaming was superior to console. Then I grew up beyond the age of 12. Used to think FPS on console was a joke but now I play majority of FPS on console and have used my PC for gaming less and less. Mouse is still superior yes but at least with a controller I can just lay...

Even doom had difficulty levels. By modern I mean games in the last 5 years or so.

Wow, big call, let me think about that one...

We often talk about the negatives in modern day games, the bad habits developing in design and how old games were superiour in ways and that is indeed often the case. Thought it could be fun to think of some of the positive or smart progressions that have been made in general game design and...

Those WASP missles in the single-player demo are a bucket of fun as is the jet-pack and the environments do look good as did in KZ2. However don't know if it will offer much of a new experience over KZ2 single player. And yes the gun-hoe meat head space marine "chatter" has been done to death...

Opening game cinematics and cut scenes for that matter use to be all the rage but they seem to have dropped off a bit throughout some of the genres. Guess in-game stuff using the graphics engine has replaced alot of it. Off the top of my head I'm not saying it is the best but the opening...

Quake 4. Oh wait, I didn't enjoy that...

Guess no one in here has seen the directors cut where Cloud puts a Phoenix Down back in his pocket saying "well she wasn't that much use anyway..." But wasn't there a "revive" spell within that Life materia? Don't hear of many people being "revived" from knock out. More like from death...

I find Melee in KZ3 to be quite satisfying. Sneaking up on someone and getting a nice cutscene of slitting a throat or snapping a neck. But wouldn't suit every FPS this style. I also like that if his teammate catches your attempt he can kill you and save the guy whos throat was about to be...

Mate surely there are already hundreds of threads on bad sequels that followed good originals. Some of the worst offenders for me are Carmegeddon 3, Half-Life 2, C&C series ect ect ect ect ect............
