Or games that should be online.
Being a broadband-less peasant I have lots of offline loneliness to enjoy, and so the mind wonders.
Just throw a few ideas around - what game would be good.
I was thinking a flying game would rule.
Not just everyone vs. everyone dogfights, which would probably be pretty good. But co-operative with a whole squadron of jets using the headset.
'Twould be very cool, I basing most of this on Ace Combat 4 (which rules). Working as a team together and specialising your team for bombing or dogfights - assigning roles out so you can bomb out targets without and enemy jets on your tail. Against a computer it would be fun, and against another human team just brilliant.
Your ideas?

EQ for the PC, yes you could use a modem and it costs about £7 a month.
EQOA for the PS2...here's the thing...
In the USA you CAN play EQOA using a 56k dial-up modem because there's a phone jack in the back of the US version of the PS2 network adaptor and the game is 56k compatible.
In the UK it's impossible to guess if you could use a modem or not, but considering that the game is 56k compatible in the USA there's a chance you could hook up your PS2 to your PC using Internet Connection Sharing and a second Network Interface Card and connect to EQOA through that. Some current titles do work on the PAL PS2 via a 56k modem like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3.
They only way you'll be able to tell for sure is when the PAL version of the EQOA gets a European release for the PS2 over here, and then you can try it out. I expect an entrepeneurial beta tester will try it out before then with a beta copy.
Either way, it'll be pay to play on the PS2, I guess around £5-10 a month (they might make it cheap because it's the first P2P game to hit the PS2 in Europe). First 30 days should be free of charge regardless.

The key to winning is teamwork, communication, tacitcs and planning. I have a counter-strike clan. We have only been beaten once, and played about 60 games. How? Teamwork and about an hour planning before each match.

How good is Syphon Filter: Omega strain going to be!?
Counter-Strike would be a nice title to have on the PS2 :D
I would like to see an online FPS with similar mayhem as a Bond game, but with loads of players!
if i bought everquest online would i be able to use a modem and would it cost per month?

Yes, I see what you mean. However, reading the review, the way you can all get into buggies and space ships would be cool. Imagine you flying the thing and crashing it, to have your team mates right have a go. Would be cool.

I think it'll be pants too, due to no comms making teamwork difficult. Have to wait and see what they change for the PAL version at release time.
