Multiplayer-only games have been around almost as long as the internet has, and we've probably all been addicted to one at some point in our lives as gamers, most likely a free-to-play RPG, MOBA or FPS. Lately I've noticed a trend in some of the much larger AAA titles failing to keep hold of a profitable userbase. We'll go over a few that have failed to succeed, the few who seem to have quite literally nailed it and others who have yet to prove they're made of the right stuff to be successful.  MP Only LossesFirst up we have Titanfall from EA, now I personally

Snake's News - Do you want some death with that?

So, today's news are centered mostly about death. Half of them at least.MAFIA 3 LIVE-ACTION TRAILER - DEATH SUITS YOU2K keeps trying to shove Lincoln Clay down our throats. I guess we can still watch this trailer to see if there's any shitty acting.VHS IS DEADSo, this day marks the end of VHS.
