I miss 8 and 16 bits anthem. At that time, the musician in games had to do wonders with such restriction. Then, cometh the CD-ROMS, and music was not so catchy.

I miss the finite lives, the insane difficulty, the hundreds of levels, the continues, the infinite live cracks ^^

I hate forced updates, non pick up and play games, useless unskippable cinematics that goes for ages (MGS4 !!!)

I miss games where you could save wherever you want on your computer. I curse the devs for that nowadays.

Simply because they have more studios overall.

Though quality wise I wouldn't even be so sure about that....

First of all, it's only $30 US a month for two accounts for WoW.

If that is still (understandably so) more than you want to pay (I get my money's worth but I play A LOT) then the only other thing I can think of atm is to buy a turn based strategy game and make it co-op. I played all the way through Fire Emblem - Radiant Dawn and half way through hard mode with a friend as 'tactical advisor'

Yes I was thinking of the time when we still had our Everquest accounts going as well. Expensive hobby. It's hard to pull the plug on something you've played for 3 years.

Castle crashers looks great for short bursts after the baby has gone to sleep. Rocketman axis of evil was good mindless fun as well.

I didn't know fable 3 had campaign co-op? splitscreen?

We played fahrenheit a long time ago. The 3d style of sam&max and tales of monkey is not very appealing. The remakes of monkey island are pretty good though. I love that you can switch back to the original graphics at any moment, and great commentary track.

I wish Benoit Sokal would hurry up and finish Syberia 3 :) been looking forward to that for a long time.

Ugh I got all excited about sacred 2 until I read this

"The view is zoomed out incredibly high overhead, no matter how close you are to you partner.  The game is certainly playable in bird's eye view, but you miss all of the eye candy, and important details can be hard to see."

Ok not a big problem.

"Another issue is that only one player can manipulate menus at a time.  In a game where you are constantly trying new slots, using runes, scrapping excess junk, etc. there is a lot of waiting around for your partner to finish."

"There is one problem with local co-op that, to be frank, is almost a deal breaker.  You cannot trade items with a local partner.  Unbelievable as it may sound, if your high elf picks up a wicked set of wings that would be perfect for your buddy's Seraphim, there's no way to trade them."

:(

Splitscreen = less money

Think about it, instead of 4 people buying 4 copies of the same game, you have 4 people playing 1 game together.

Divide and conquer :)

nah Fable 3 "only" provides local co-op on the same screen, though I don't know if there is any traditional RPG or action RPG that has a splitscreen option. Only RPG that I know has it is Borderlands, which is of course an FPS hybrid.

About Sacred 2, maybe you should look up if they patched some of the things you mentioned.
