With L4D you have the choice to have two sqaure screens which works much better on a wide screen TV The reason I prefer a vertical split is that I have a wide screen TV so on Halo 3 you get 2 very short and wide screens which is really tricky to play on.

I'm surprised to hear that Halo 3 didn't allow that though! Why do you like vertical vs. horizontal split? Keith, hello co-op buddy ;) I agree, rail carts should be banned from all games for all time! Especially in Gears of War titles! ;) lol. Can't wait for L4D action. Dan, what can you do in the multiplayer for Skate 2? Matt, that's true. I actually find it's one of the best ways to stay in touch cheaply. UD, I know, RE5 is gonna be SICK!!!!!!! MJS, 3 and 4 player co-op would be great. A lot of games don't support this at all. I think it would be harder to implement technically and story wise, but the payoff (Left for Dead styles) would be huge. Tawcan, get a 360 so we can play! :) JP, sure thing. My gamertag is Buggo, add me! Adam, oooh sorry to hear about your RROD. Hopefully you get it back soon! Have fun at Whistler you, lucky! Davin, it's true.. it's much more fun especially when there's a big imbalance in playing skills. Chris, I'm not a big Sony fan so I can't relate ;) Do you have a 360? Mike, yes I can't wait to play it. Are you talking about christine? Herbert, I don't like co-op arcade games as much. I find they lack too much in the story and achievement point aspects ;) Gavin, what's your gamertag? josh, sounds good. I definitely want to play Nazi Zombie mode :D David, yeah I always play online and never split screen. I’m surprised to hear that Halo 3 didn’t allow that though!

Just beat Gears 2 co-op and I like the CoD World at War co-op since achievment points are not a concern for me. Also, Nazi Zombie mode is addictive (why, I will never know!). Great post, Allie!

I think it's contributed to a developing bad back since christmas... We need one more human player 'cos carrying Bill, and listening to him complain when you shoot him in the back sucks! :) Gav PS: adam, what's your gamertag? you still play a lot of COD4? I might see you on there when the old red ring is fixed... Left 4 Dead is real fun; apart from Gears, it’s the only co-op 360 game I’ve played.

It's even gotten the 'noob' of our zombie-slaying team into quite the skilled veteran, as it's her first real go at an FPS game (normally a RPG player), and as of tonight we are only ONE expert campaign away from unlocking the "What are you trying to prove?" achievement. :D A shout out to Left 4 Dead; so freaking addictive and fun.

Add in the fact I'm not too attached to the trophy system that Sony recently launched and I'm pretty much a-ok with the selection I have - R6V, R6V2, COD: WaW (although I'm addicted to killing Nazi Zombies now), R2 and more.

My favorite format even - I play video games very infrequently. When I do play, it is usually with someone far better than me and it's no fun to play against someone who has trained themselves for a fair while when I am just over for some fun and to hang out with my friend, or whatever. Sorry for the run on sentence there. The other thing that comes to mind is that over the holidays, there is a lot of time spent with family. It would be great to be able to play video games WITH each other rather than against each other, which can lead to tension and just is not as much fun as playing together against something else. Co-op bonds, and with family that is important! Hey Allie,
