The sports require precision, power and control – all of which feel mutilated through standard D-Pad or Thumbstick controls. Because these titles have never really found a home base, developers and publishers alike have never paid enough attention to the detail required to making these games better. Rarely, are these sports improved year over year like Basketball or Football games (though sometimes even that falls into question). Money is not invested into improving on graphics, gameplay and the overall gaming experience. Instead, you get a game that has been hacked together that begs you to put it down for another activity."
This feature aims to aid you when watching Wimbledon this year, because with so many matches going on in the next fortnight it's sometimes hard to know which ones to watch.
With this in mind it looks to recommend specific players to watch if you're a fan of a certain gaming series or title. So without further ado, let it serve you up some suggestions…
Call of Duty? Nah, let's take a break and get some of these games on.
Why does nothing from this generation multiplayer wise really feel like it will be truly missed? Over sequelization and feautre creep. The cost of high production values.
Halo 2 was my personal favorite,but Halo 3 was still. Great the companies become so obsessed with making money rather than keeping the core of what made series great
Thich,
I miss the fun antics arcadie, almost college buddy pick up and play feel it had. I guess a lot of that comes from my enjoyment in college. It was almost like a "party shooter" just fun.
Well said Thich...one game that I miss from this gen and wish they made another one is Lost Odyssey.
i just reply about this in a ni no kuni thread to guy who said he hasnt play a good JRPG since the ps2.
lost odyssey was so great loved the text stories and how they were set up with the sound and art. it worked so great.
the overall story was great also there´s still so much potential for a sequel. i would love it
The majority of my favorite multiplayer games are on the N64. That console was built with multiplayer as the focus, with 4 ports for controllers.
The Gamecube and wii were both great multiplayer consoles and so is now the wiiu.
It only take a go of Nintendo land , NSMBU or Rayman legends Demo to see this console is trying to keep local multiplayer alive and kicking...
I had a blast playing Rayman Legends at my local Gamestop with my Bros. Can't wait till it's time for me to get a Wii U!
Here are some old MP games I enjoyed playing alongside mates:
• 007 NIGHTFIRE - a classic! This game had fantastic MP, I would love a HD remake.
• CONFLICT: Global Storm - acting like a fireteam with my friend where one person takes a buddy and the other does that too before departing down a different path was great fun! I personally loved the desert level with the Jeep.
• MOH (PS1) - OOoh yes, this game had funny personas and great gameplay; in my books, another worthy classic.
Still play mario kart and smash bros with some buddies from time to time, the n64 was the best system ever for local mp imo.

One of my local coffee shops has decided to slash the price of their coffee to ten pence at ten o’clock in the morning since this Sunday nicely coincides with their tenth birthday. Unfortunately, gamers don’t really have anything to celebrate today, nor does any form of commemoration seem to be incoming from any developers or publishers. In response to this injustice, we’ve compiled a list of ten gaming “tens”, most of which rely on bad puns and stale jokes. Enjoy!"
