I wouldn't personally call it anything, as in split screen you are both looking at the same screen so it's kinda inevitable. I find things like camping or *insert overpowered weapon here* hogging (or soliciting 
) far more irritating, and closer to 'cheating'. 'specially spawn camping. I'm sorry but spawn camping is NEVER a legit strategy.

I didn't know there was an official term, I don't really think it's cheating though when it's right in front of you.
It's all about the meta-game. If you don't look at the other persons screen you are only screwing yourself over.
I call it "playing split-screen"
There is no way you cannot cheat t some extent and there is no way you can police it, just accept the fact that you know the other person's sight and they know yours. And if you don't like that get another console and TV then set up a LAN game!
Either that or play a co-op game where it is a BENEFIT to see each other's perspective, or a competitive game with the same screen-perspective like Mortal Kombat.

The funny thing is that it's much easier to avoid (whatever you want to call it now) because of the wide and large nature of modern TVs. At the same time, there are much less split screen games.
Back in the 90's it was nearly impossible to avoid looking at the other players on a 20 something inch CRT, and sometimes to make out what was on your view.

That's what my friends and I use anyway.Treefingers said:
Screen cheating doesn't really sound right.
