Comment In: Single-Player Videogames [Blog - 10/02/2009 - 10:36]

This sounds extremely interesting I ...

This sounds extremely interesting I definitely agree with you in the idea of wanting to make more games accessible to multi-play. I think there are a lot of games already heading in this direction. For example, Halo ODST's firefight mode, while available with a single player option, is much more ...

I forget who said it, but somebody smarter than me said something along the lines that every story has already been told and I think that idea goes along with what you are saying. I've noticed that the weak links seem to be what you touched on already, and that ...
