My take on video games music is that if the music is just meh then you won't really realize it but if the music is great, then you will definitely notice it. Ive caught myself several times thinking that the song playing is awesome but if the music is mediocre I really dont even notice the music.

Absolutely, there are some games that I just mute and listen to my mp3, but if you want great music, try the Kingdom Heart series, it has some of the best music I've ever heard

Its been confirmed that the title will be Batman: Arkham City, still havent completed the first one, need to

It seems like nowadays, every game on the market pushes it's multiplayer or co-op features to the detriment of it's single player campaign. I like multiplayer as much as the next guy, but I get annoyed when games make it their main focus. Gone are the days of 15 hour campaign storylines. Now you spend $60 and get a measley 5 hours of a single player story. Are people so obsessed with multiplayer and co-op that it's come to this?

For games like CoD and similar FPS, maybe. I just spent 26 hours to beat Red Dead Redemption, and I'm still going to back to pick up achievements, which will last me probably another 10 hours, and that's not including multiplayer.

Not playing on the easiest mode tacks on quite a few hours, too.

Yeah im sure they were talking more toward games like shooters, cause games like mass effect and red dead didn't even have an option of being multi-player when you picked up the game so you had no choice. But i agree on that in the shooters for sure campaigns are dead and if you pay attentien in the next year or so the market is about to be flooded with shooters: halo reach, cod: blck ops, crysis 2, golden eye 007,medal of honor, kill zone 3, gears of war 3, bulletstorm, and ghost recont FS are just a few. Thats a lot of shooter to wonder how good the campaign will be. Most of us who love a good single player will turn to rpg's and a few action based games, but i feel like as a paying consumer (as of lately) we are one of the only markets who have to find ways around the things we dislike instead of being able to show through numbers and sales that things should change. Theres no reason a franchise like COD cant give you the same great multi player experience along side a inbox great campaign. Since sales are so great cause of multi player theres no reason to change that so if you love shooters and you want a good campaign...... much like wanting the perfect man/women you'll have to build your own through a library of multiple games.

Aye, I played the single player campaign for MW2, so short, may look like a lot of levels, but really short

That said I do enjoy a good single player, I used to live in halls where I had no live, so I only had single player or local multiplayer, so single player games were important, I found the Skate games had a deep single player, there was just so much to do and they keep drawing me back, burnout games are usually ace for single player, recently bought GRAW 2 (£5), the single player in that is well worth it and buy the sounds of it left 4 dead single player sounds great, £15 new play.com, might get

The swooping froom cover to cover is really cool, to basically fly into cover

Personally, theres a few things i'd like to see mario in, I think they should consider another RPG, with the variety of characters the mario universe has, you could easily have 10 playable characters

Definately another Brawl game, I could see Mario Fit being a game, how about a beat-em-up, Street Fighter style? In fact, that could be the new brawl game

Pit is my favourite, followed by Link, Snake and Falco

SSFIV

Why has no one mentioned Advance Wars for the GBA, that was a fantastic game and should at least be considered

I think the reason why you're dissapointed in gaming now is that most gamers expect a lot more from their games now. Look at Pacman, simple game, simple graphics, simple concept, and yet it is one of the most loved games of all time.However, that was years ago, now, because of new technology, gamers expect a lot more in their games, they expect HD graphics, superb and innotative gameplay, a thrilling story, etc.The problem is most developers just don't have the bugdet for that, so there will be bugs, there will be faults, there will be bits you don't like, but, like someone above me said, no game is perfect, and no game will ever be perfect. Sometimes, you just need to ignore these faults and play games for what they were created for, for fun, that's why I play games, becuase i enjoy them.
