Multiplayer games - split screen PS3

With split-screen, players don't connect to a network - local or online - because multiplayer play takes place on a single console or computer. Two or more players - usually a maximum of four - play at the same time, with each player having their own individual piece of screen on a TV or monitor. Split-screen is most popular on consoles, in genres such as shooters and racing games.
