Conflict: Denied Ops

Oh I'm sorry, were you shooting me? Worth:$8
based on 360 demo

Denied Fun.

Arth and I gave this a run-through. The developers lost us right away because the local split-screen is SIDE-BY-SIDE (like Halo 2). This means you have no peripheral vision, which totally sucks.

But what really sucks is the whole rest of the game. Walk down hall. Get shot at. Shoot back. The sound from the game was drowned out by us chugging Jolt Cola just to stay awake. The fact that you can do this with a friend doesn't help. It's like sharing a deformed, fat hooker with a buddy. The experience is so lousy to begin with, that having someone else there just makes it embarassing.

By the time this game gets down to a worthy price, hopefully something good will have come along.

A note about the side-by-side local co-op play. Halo 1 did it over-under, H2 was s-by-s, and H3 went back to over-under. What does _that_ tell us?
