We Don't Need Another Console

Submitted by A GuyNamed KYLE on June 6, 2011 - 8:14am

I bought my first Xbox 360 on launch night, November 22, 2005. I have gamed the crap out of it, to the point that I'm on console number three now (Thanks, Microsoft Sam!). Every year, I buy a bunch of new games, several classics that I didn't have time for in the past, and I download a handful of arcade games.

(Side note: Pac-Man Championship Edition DX is amazingly awesome and fun. Go buy it now. Then come back and read the rest of this.)

I was about 10 years old the first time I played a gory, violent game. That game? Mortal Kombat, at the arcade of a Tampa Putt-Putt.

Quarter after quarter were dropped into that cabinet, and we talked about MKII for weeks on end.

How Two Players on One Console Can Experience Full-Screen Gaming

Using an LG 60PZ550 and two pairs of 3D glasses, Odin demonstrates how you can experience full-screen gaming when you have two players on the same game console. Simply check your 3DTV's settings, and see if it has a split-screen 3D setting. If it does, you are good to go.

Maybe 3DTVs aren't worthless after all. If you meet all the prerequisites for gear, this could be the final answer for that eternal question, "do you want to be on top or bottom?"

Do you remember that Halo Reach April fools gag from a year ago about Halo Reach including chess? Well, Jack and Geoff from Achievement Hunter were given the go ahead by Bungie to officially reveal and release the chess gametype! This is not a gag. I have personally tested it and the variant completely works!
