nice top 7, I totally agree with all the entries, especially MUA2... could have also included every tony hawk game from underground until the title that came before the latest tile that came with a paper weight...you know what i mean, right?

They left out Mario and Nintendo. All there games are the same or copies with different logo.

i can't vouch for single player or online coop in resi 5, but the split screen coop is pretty intense in my opinion. especially when the people sharing the screen haven't the slightest clue what's popping up next or how quickly it's going to kill us, armed only with knifes and no ammo

I thought it would be important to mention that DMC2 started out as a different game entirely and was later reskinned so it would be much more marketable than a new IP. Something I learned from the TDar.

Even though I never played some of these I get the point. Some Sequals just arn't worth the money.

I agree on Soul Calibur IV, but not on the specific points mentioned. The real kicker for me was the horribly, horribly laggy online play. A GREAT feature completely destroyed by what is possibly the single worst fighting-game netcode on the friggin' planet (seriously, INPUT LAG? In a FIGHTING GAME?!). Wish they'd patch the netcode so it didn't suck. Hell, I'd even pay a second time for a version like SSF4 that has non-borked online play.

I was about to type MW2, but they did tighten up the shooting, but fucked up the story and MP IMO. I'm not hating, just saying.

There was a HUGE improvement between R:FoM and R2. The changes are many and obvious.
