TVGB: "Just a few short generations ago, the biggest multiplayer function that a console could include would be four controller ports. Things have changed quite a bit since then, and nowadays, online multiplayer functionality is a huge part of a gamers decision on what console or games to purchase. Playing against actual people has several advantages over computer controlled opponents. For starters, it's a lot more challenging (read: fun) to play against an enemy that can think dynamically and not rely on a list of if/then statements to decide on the best course of action against you. Secondly, trash talking the AI just isn't nearly as satisfying as really giving a good jab to your friend over the headset."
