Can you give me a list of good co-op First person shootersplit screen games to play ?

I bought Call of duty 4 (and an xbox 360) in time for christmas, only to find I couldnt do a campaign with my bro over xmas - instead we took it in turns level by level. He even bought the second controller in anticipation. He shouted I shoulda got HHalo 3, but I wasnt so tempted or induced by the hype like COD4

ok, its a cool game but such a shame we missed the boat on this one.

I think the main 'issue' comes from the fact things should be up to a certain standard.  If others are doing it, why isn't X console. When youhave something to compare against, you DO notice how crap the graphics are.

This day and age, we shouldnt have to resort to 'paper' effects in games to cover up the fact there'es no graphical oomph.

And in the days before photo realism (not that we've reached it yet) the emphasis was on graphics because novelty comes from making zero's and ones into something lifelike, moving, and controllable. 

It's quite hard to buy something 'cutting edge' that shows no improvement on the experience from a graphical point of view, you may aswell have a new controller for your old console right?

Until we have 3d holographic playstation 5's, we aint gonna drop the graphics bug.... until then, we continually struggle to make games look as lifelike as possible. In the future, graphics wont be as much of an 'obstacle', except if we buy a Wii3 and it has gameboy graphics, that would p*ss you all off i'm certain.

 At the end of the day, its a power thing. Nintendo wouldnt have a graphics 'issue' if they had spent more on the insides of the console, EVERYONE would be buying a Wii - even Playstation fanboys. Remember, people will always ask the question "what's the best", and for that oyu need a tick in all boxes.

Until we hit that graphical development plateau, we have plenty of graphics considerations to make, and hell it could even help the retro games market, as they would have their own real category (not limited by hardware, but CHOSE to be low spec), opposed to being compared to the likes of new 3d games pushing the graphical boundaries of the hardware.

To me, before Wii arrived, games consoles had hit the gameplay plateau already, the market needed a kick up the arse and a different way of interacting, thats what commendable, even if it does kick off inspiration for other hardware manufacturers.

does Wii play Gamecube games?

 If so, does it make them look better?

 After having an xbox for a while i went and played mario on a GC and it looked...well... low res and untextured, when i remembered it as being glistening and full of sunshine!

If you're likely just going to sell it, like you've done with a lot of other consoles, then why even buy one? There's no games available for it that you want and you're likely just going to sell it for less than what you payed for it. So why not just let it sit on the shelf, waiting for someone who actually wants one?secretagentx9

Yeah, dont get me wrong, i kept them for about a year, bought many games, stoppe dplaying it for whatever reason, sold it on, then wanted the games back in my life!

After selling my xbox before christmas, I was expecting to get a wii on release but missed the boat bigstyle when I couldnt get hold of one.

 Now, 6 months on, im getting a wii... but we need games!

I love the Wii. I like its concept, the controls on nintendo always feel 'right' I love Nintendo's 'disneyland' magic they bring to the end user, I'm just not being tempted by any games nt he shelf.  Wasnt there supposed to be like 60 on launch month?

Call me mad,  I'm getting a Wii, but I don't yet have any valid reason why

I had 2 gamecubes, (bought one, sold it, wanted another, sold it, bought an xbox, sold it) and I like nintendo's 'quality' feel with all the games and the warm fuzzy feeling of opening one of their budget new consoles.

 So, when the Wii was coming out I got very excited, became a fanboy if you will. I am now going to get one in the coming weeks but looking at the current games (I have no interest in wii sports style games) I don't really have a good reason to buy one.

What games should I look out for in the coming months?  I may buy a 360 in winter for the big graphical war games etc. but quite keen on a wii for family use and less serious 'pick up and play' stuff with Nintendos quality touch on each title, and of course the legend that is mario (loved sunshine, back in the cube day)

Is Anyone else hanging around for the real games to begin?
