Multiplayer focused games NEVER beat stand alone single player games at GR.

If u look at the top 50 games of all time at gamerankings then u will see that the first 21 games r more single player based than multiplayer.Then comes the first multiplayer focused game at no. 22 in halo 2.The next game is at 33 which is chaos theory.Then another multiplayer focused game is at no. 34 in gears of war.Then at no. 38 is unreal tournment.And the last multiplayer focused game in the top 50 is at no. 41 in mgs3:subsistence.So in the top 50 there r only 5 multiplayer focused games and it is certainly arguable whether choas theory and subsistence should be called multiplayer focused or not because they certainly provide a long single player unlike the other 3.

This is what i always say that a game simply wont be earth shattering for me if it does not provide a satisfying single player experience and i think that gamerankings agrees with me.

Well basically my point is that the 360 has failed miserably in providing an excluisve earth shattering single player experience.The wii already has it in zelda but the ps3 is still waiting.

The key these days is to make an epic single player along with a solid multiplayer. Some good example so far are Gears of War, maybe Rainbow Six, but some failed attempts like GRAW2 which are too focused on the MP side have come forth and failed.

Bioshock will be a very interesting game to see how it scores, it has NO multiplayer but what should be an innovative and suprising single player game.
