Multiplayer modes are often the only parts of a game a play. Initially this was just because I was short on time, but more recently I've realised these are simply my favourite parts.
Here, I aim to find the best multiplayer games out there that offer a time-short gamer just the right amount of fun and challenge desired. I'll be wading through all manner of games and spilling the beans on the reality of online play - from the greats that need hours of practice to master, to the simple that need no practice at all to enjoy.

Soul Calibur 5 promises an unlikely return for the series. This was the start of my multiplayer passion and its fifth iteration looks as strong as ever... read now
Saints Row: The Third is a good time on steroids. Even a hardened multiplayer loving gamer such as me can see the sound entertainment logic behind running around an imaginary city naked dominating enemies with psychic sea creatures.

Assassin's Creed Revelations packs in the kitchen sink, but somehow gets away with it. The campaign may struggle to maintain attention with so much else to do, but in terms of variety this is the series' Piece de resistance... read now
Modern Warfare 3 stands tall amongst its peers. But rather than its story, visuals or energy, this is a game that stands out for a finely tuned interactive experience that even Apple would be proud of... read now
Battlefield has always been a game to enjoy with other people -- as in humans rather than artificial opponents. This year more than ever though, it has made a concerted effort to chip into Modern Warfare's single player experience -- and the sales figures that go with it. .. read now
I love co-op or team based multi-player games. There is nothing quite as much fun as playing a game with friends - thinking tactically as a group, getting support and having a laugh with your friends. It keeps a game fresh, fun and different every time. .. read now

With so many different perspectives it can be hard to know where to start - a little like walking into a crowded pub. Sorry about that. But so far we've not found a way to streamline our review output - there's basically too much of it. So, rather than dilute things for newcomers we have decided to live with the hubbub while helping new readers find the columnists they will enjoy. |
