I think this is a mistake. More and more companies are trying to shift to the multiplayer at the expense of the single player. Now I may just be an old gamer and I understand that gaming is more socially accepted these days, but most of the "great games" in my experience are single player games.
Now, I love playing online with my friends. I've had great times with Halo 3, GTA IV, COD4, etc. online. But my friends have lives. They're not always available for gaming. And I've had some horrible times playing online with strangers. Many of the people online are social miscreants who apparently have no friends and take it out on the others they play with. I hate when a game forces me to play with strangers.

We've had this conversation before about how there shouldn't be a hard pressed rule that all games should be multiplayer or co-op. Bioshock was a perfect example of the fact that single player games are still important and fun. I wouldn't mind seeing classic games turned into multiplayer games or co-op, like Super Mario Bros would be cool in co-op.
