    General games Split Screen Co-op Is Dying

    Split-screen co-op and local multiplayer are becoming things of the past. What happened to cramming a bunch of gamers into a room with two TVs and doing a system link match in Halo? Where have the all-night GoldenEye matches gone? Like the arcades of gamers' youth, the local multiplayer and co-op bonding experience has been replaced with individual gamers and a network

    I personally still prefer friends in a room to the cold world of online gaming!

    In our house we love the party board games like Pac-Man Fever, all 8 Mario Parties, Sonic Shuffle, etc. We also enjoy the he## out of Raving Rabbids with all the mini games. My mom comes over every Sunday to play multiplayer games on my Epson projector and large screen. She hates the boxing in Wii Sports but loves a lot of the other games and Raving Rabbids too. So yea we don't do multiplayer online at all. We have 2 kids with DS's and my wife and I each have one and we enjoy Mario Party, Bomberman (especially 2) and other multiplayer games on there as well. Then my wife and I each have a PSP and play against each other all the time on there (especially Worms Open Warefare 1 and 2).

    Playing with your friends online is good, specially when they have work, school or other things to do,

    It's also kind of nice that you can play with your friends each one being at home and each with their own screen.

    But yeah I get your point, we still gather to play super smash bros brawl every now and then.

    It's kinda sad that people believe that online gaming is a way of socialising and justifing not being around real people, I mean nothing beats doing a victory dance in front of the tv when you beat someone and see their reaction up close. Online gaming is good but it's a sad sad world we heading towards as the internet reduces the amount of human contact people have.

    In the future I bet no one will even be around each other socially except to mate, it will all be online or Inception dream sequences we live in!
