Absence makes the heart grow fonder?

I miss split-screen action. Is there any sweeter memory than running up on some character in Goldeneye and karate chopping him into oblivion, and talking smack to your friend while you do so? Now, it seems that most games are hesitant to include a split screen multiplayer mode. Why is it I have an easier time playing COD with my brother in Afghanistan, than my sister who's in the same room? When they remake Goldeneye, I hope it will inspire the industry to put more split-screen, or full screen multiplayer options in their games.

Get outta my sandbox!

I am not selfish. If I have a pack of gum, I will offer you a piece. If you want my last nacho, it's yours. One thing I hate sharing, however, is my video game experience. I want to stomp every koopa in Mario, fight every Big Sister in Rapture, and kill every deity in God of war. I don't want you to participate. If I did, I would buy a multi-player game. So imagine my surprise as I was playing Crackdown 2 (disappointing, I know) when suddenly another character appeared on my screen. I was possessed by the sudden, irrepressible urge to yell "Get outta my sandbox!" Instantly, I was transported back to kindergarten, when Tiffany Johnson threw a wood block at my head because she didn't want to share. I banned her from the sandbox. I banned this character from my sandbox, too. What makes you think, Ruffian, that I want some dude (or dudette) to be able to encroach on my city? I don't want to sound like a baby here, but please, unless you're invited, stay outta my sandbox!
