A BrutalGamer.com review.
Man I love quiz games. Don't ask me why I have no idea – maybe it gives me a chance to flex my cerebral prowess (or lack there of!) So Relentless Software's Buzz games have been a real want of mine for many years. I was well chuffed when I finally picked up Buzz for my PS3. So now, a year or so later we are presented with yet another update in the franchise, Buzz Quiz World. So how does it stack up? Is it an age old iterated for iterations sake, or does it bring something new?
There's only one thing in the world that's more rewarding than killing the witch in Left 4 Dead 2, and that thing would be killing the witch AFTER startling her right next to one of your friends after swearing you'd keep your gun holstered. Sure video games were made for people to have fun and whatever, but let's face the honest truth, there's nothing more satisfying than listening to your friends scream "I TRUSTED YOU!" in agony. So to make sure you'll be hearing more of that, or maybe even yelling it out yourself, here's a list of seven games that are bound to abolish your friendships with even your closest friends.
If games can destroy your friendship, chances are, you werent really friends

"The PlayStation 3 has its own particular flavor of multiplayer games. First-party experiences tend to focus on family-friendly entertainment, while downloadables on the platform like to experiment with various concepts. Sometimes a developer even takes advantage of the system’s 7-controller support! (Just not that often.) Here’s the cream of the crop on the system, including some that should work for any group."
Interesting list... stays away from obvious shooters and the like. SingStar and Fat Princess are great multiplayer games too.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, Kill-Zone 2, Kill-Zone 3, Gran Turismo 5, Little Big Planet, Little Big Planet 2, Journey, Portal 2, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3, Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Planning to have friends over and play some games? Good for you. There are lots of great options, as readers of this column know, and you can jump in wherever you’d like.
You know, until that fifth person walks in the door.
It’s a thing that can cause a train wreck in the head of any gracious gaming host. All those games you planned to play? Either you’ll have an awkward person just sitting around and watching, or you’ll have to split up, which isn’t the best option. But while your options may be limited, they’re not gone: there are some great games that support five or more players.
