Splitscreen is "sooo PS2"

the best multiplayer games are those that are not split screen, such as Powerstone2 and SSBM, cause dividing a screen into smaller quadrants is stupid especially with smaller tv's.

I my self use to think that I needed to have split screen but in all honesty I much prefer online/lan multiplayer, I just wasn't my own screen, but then again I am a PC gamer so I'm just use to looking at my own screen all the time when playing lan games.

to each their own I guess.

Do you not have friends who don't have a PS3 and/pr selected game they would like to play?

Cause for me, that tends to be a problem. For example my girlfriend lives with me... so i'm not going to buy a second Wii and copy of said game just so we can play co-op in the same house. I'm definitly not buying a second PS3 either... or one Xbox AND pay for online cause my roommate only has one 360.

To someone who has a lot of friends, lack of splitscreen and online split screen is a serious gip.

 I think what Troll_Monster meant was that games that are designed so that you can play mutiplayer on one system without the need to split the screen. Sports games are an obvious example.

 

I also want to throw my support behind MK64, some of my best gaming memories are 4 player MK64 races. So much of the fun was the post race trash talk, and lets not forget the fun of knocking the controller out of your friends hand for that little extra advantage.
