After playing Portal 2’s multiplayer I can only hope the future of Valve doesn’t turn exclusively towards online single player. Playing any game in co-op mode is only fun when paired with someone who you actually know and thus removes any method of anonymity, the four loco of the internet world, turning somewhat sane people into insolent jerk. If the future of gaming is online then the PSN has the right idea.<\/p>\n

Zero-lives is a weekly comic strip lampooning the world of video games from the 8bit predecessors to the current systems. If it’s video game related it’s fair game. Rated E for everyone.<\/p>\n
