VG To-do:


I find the article's original implication that single player games were "dying under the weight of the multiplayer revolution" more than odd.

The following are examples of top-selling games, by year: 2003 April 2002 2000

Single player games appear to be going strong. Though I've played neither, I've found that the most exciting and hyped releases of this year are Doom 3, and Half Life 2.

And that's without consideration for how many single-player games are played online (flash, or otherwise). I don't have statistics for this, but as for a complete guess, I'd say that for every hour an madly obsessed, 8 hours a day gamer (or typical gamer) spends on a store-bought 1+ CD, complex multi- or single-player game, there are likley 10 hours that have been spent by many, many 'regular folk' mucking around with free flash games.

[edit] Move article to "Single player game"?

I think it would be more informal. - Sylph 23:33, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Single player mode?

According to the article,

"'single player mode' usually refers to a game that multiple people can play, but is played by a single person."

This sounds rather odd, as the term implies that only one person can play. Personally, I've never heard this definition, either. As a result, I'm adding {{fact}} to the article. -- VGF11 00:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind. I think I understand what the sentence meant, and I've changed it to a more clear sentence. -- VGF11 23:24, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
