Co-Opticast Episode 8: We Suck at RTS's

It's a holiday extravaganza on the Co-Opticast as we chat it up about our holiday gift guides. Not only that we find out what we've been playing lately from the dreaded fall season that's full of co-op gaming goodness. Finally we dive a bit into the uncharted world of user created content.

Be sure to give this show a listen, as next episode we want to hear from you! That's right we're taking user questions for the final podcast of 2008.

Great podcast! Listen around the 4:50 mark for my name to be dropped... my moment in the sun, doubt I'll ever be more famous than that">LINK! And yes, I think I'm just worse than Marc's son, hence his difficulty playing with me in L4D. Side note, someone's rhythmic nose-breathing almost lulled me to sleep...Where shall we post our questions for y'all? Is here OK?1) Name a game you play (or used to play) that you are almost embarrassed to admit loving as much as you do.2) How and where do you do the podcasts? Are y'all all in the same room?

If this is a good place for questions, I'll throw one out. What features that haven't been implemented (or are rarely implemented), would you like to see in more coop games?Also, I like Baldy's number 1 question. I had a similar thought for a question (What games have you loved playing, but wouldn't put within a hundred yards of a top ten list?).

I have a question for next time: which one of you three turds do I shoot first? I was surprised that no one brought up Unreal Tournament III (PS3 version) for the copyright discussion...there is a ton of user-created content for that game, and none of it is regulated (to my knowledge).And Mike: I finally looked at your Facebook photos. While they're impressive (I particularly liked the HK-416!), there's a huge difference between holding a gun and firing one. Of course, you already knew that...after Christmas, I'll put up some video of me and my brothers getting our SHOOT on. Then I'll razz you some more.

After reading roland's question, I remember the Penny Arcade photo ya'll posted in an article about Co-op in golf games and how some games don't lend themselves to co-op.1) So, what co-op games have made you feel like they took co-op back 15 years? Basically what co-op games seemed to be going backwards rather than forwards?2) What are you projections for co-op games for 2009? Better than what released this year or just icing on the cake? Do you think we're get better innovations in 2009 or will we have to wait for 2010?

I've got a potentially deep one for y'all: what if we only had one gaming platform/console with several game developer/publishers? I've heard this argument before: the theory is VHS won the VCR format wars (waaay before the HD wars, little ones). Everyone agreed to use VHS, but different people made their tapes for it. Similar to how M$ Windoze and Mac were the only two choices for PC software for years (before Linux took off like it has), everyone agreed to use the existing system and make software/games/etc for it.What if we had one giant game console company, and everyone (Sony, M$, Nintendo, Sega, TurboGrafix 16 (ha!)) made games for the one console? Do you think that could work or not?
