If you're looking for a great single player experience, I would suggest:

  • Ghostbusters: the Video Game
  • Red Dead Redemption
  • Vanquish
  • Fable series
  • Mass Effect series
  • Oblivion
  • Fallout

And more more.  Call of Duty and what-not may be the most current talked about game but that doesn't mean there's any shortage of great single player games out there.

Fable II imo is indeed a damn nasty one at the end... a game that makes you care that much about a decision is a mean mean game

  • Ghostbusters: the Video Game 


I am surprised that it is still popular got me some comics yesterday and I felt like I was back in the 80's Early nineties because some of those new comics were Ghostbusters and G.I.Joe..

I think he developed the game himself ....

I know, that is why the next game will be an total different game...But was not talking about the game though..More about the popularity of Ghostbusters;..

uncharted series (especially UC2) has an awesome campain, it took me roughly 12 hours to beat it my first time through. (i have beaten it 5 times total, for more than 40 total hours)

oh, and i put more than 5 days into it competative multiplayer, and a day and a half into online co-op


Which one 5 times? As I reckon I have done U1 5 times, but U2 only 3 1/2 times, but the last time I played U1 it took me under 4 hours



I'm all about the single player experience, and I'd say there's definitely been a shift towards online multiplayer. There's no doubt that publishers see the success of COD, which is pretty much entirely based on its MP mode, and they'll want a piece of the pie, so you get endless clones, but the publishers aren't the only ones to blame.

You look around major gaming websites and you see opinion pieces from editors demanding online multiplayer or co-op shoe-horned into games that were a success because of their excellent SP modes, and I can't help but think, why would anyone want to see an excellent game have its sequel tarnished by the developers being forced to spend time and money on something that doesn't fit in the game (so the difference between Bioshock and Bioshock 2)? It makes no sense...

the second one, i pretty much shaved off 2 hours on every playthough. but when i played it on crushing (which was my forth time) it took me a over 7 hours, then my most recent time i played which i believe was on normal, took me nearly 6 hours.

i beat the first game three time, it also took me about 12 hours my first time (total time around 28 hours).

finding treasures in both games adds a good amount of time too

@parasitic i agree to a certain extent but i believe the reason why no one really complained about Uncharted 2 multi was that they were shocked the damn thing worked at all, i know i was. 

anyone downplaying Bioshock 2 needs to do their research. the Multi and SP were made by two completly different devs. hell they werent even in the same country. So no time was taking from the SP experience. I think thats the way it should be done. The fact is Bioshock 2 story was never going to be as popular as the 1 was. 1 was too damn good. And 2's SP is still better than 99% of the FPSs out there



I love single play, in fact i play to much single player and no multiplayer. My favorites are MGS4, Lost Odyessy, Cod4, Gears of War, Mass Effect, FF series, Dragon Age.

Yeah, Sanctum of Slime I believe is releasing soon and even though I have nothing to do with it I'll be getting it day one.  I love me some Ghostbusters and I'm glad they're back.  ^^



uncharted 2 multiplayer was definitely not tacked on, every review said it was one of the best.

ign said it could be sold seperately for a full price $60 game, and people should still buy it.

its multiplayer was great, nothing tcked on about it



I can't wait for Batman: Arkham City, myself.  I'm a single player gamer, too!
