MULTIPLAYER MODE

In today’s world is a must have for games these days if they want to sell big. We’ve played multiplayer games for millennia’s as human beings, as children and as adults. From hide and seek to stick fighting, British bulldog , football, monopoly the list goes on point is multiplayer games have come in all shapes, sizes, forms and medias, computer games though are the latest thing .

Instinctively man has always strived to do better, strived to survive, strived to conquer… strived to surpass. History shows us that this instinct has lead to many regrettable events as well as a lot of blood shed. So over the years we’ve effectively created less destructive and less dangerous ways to deal with this instinct to eventually more fun then dangerous.

Now as I see it when you’re a kid you play pretend with your friends and you act/rein act a story as it were but strive to win, you however can only pretend and imagine so much though and before computer games came along if you wanted the real experience you’d have to do the real thing, we play war games there were, even still are those who literally went and fought them.

The birth of computer games meant we could finally fulfil this instinct without any risk what so ever part from the occasional thumb strain or crazed friend throwing the controller at you when you beat them., and thanks to different genres and types of games there’s something for everyone real life, rein acting, fantasy and so on. Problem was at the beginning beating a computer by yourself was great for a while but you get used to it, you catch on to it, you know its tactics and after so long its boring you strive for a new challenge and something that cries when you beat it.

And on the 8th day god created multiplayer games and saw it was good. This feature on games has grown exponentially fast and essentially remodelled the gaming world as well as the platforms their played on, from just playing on the same console to connection to friends worldwide, it really is the new age for gaming and with more new ways to interact and compete with your friends always becoming available there’s new ways of satisfying that thirst you’ve got to kick ass.

Left for Dead has got to be one of the newest and latest big hits in the multiplayer gaming world, I’m forever on it as survivor or infected with new people to play against each time you never know what to expect as everyone as what they see as the ideal tactics. Its also good to see that games are in some what way communicating with its players as well as L4D have recently released their own in game blog with new features ready to download. With other big franchises such as COD taking huge advantage of this era you have to wonder what’s next for us and them.
