Can you imagine having to get a TV, Xbox 360, and Borderlands set up on a train? And what if you wanted to play online? How are you supposed to find a stable wireless connection on a moving locomotive? Clearly Gearbox gave no thought to the hardcore train-gaming crowd with this one. Despicable.

There should have been a disclaimer on the box.

Gearbox dropped the ball, but Infinity Ward really demonstrated its commitment to train gamers by allowing for peer-to-peer matches in Modern Warfare 2. This story was shamefully under-reported in the gaming press.

You know what's good for playing on trains? Sid Meier's Railroads! Playing a game about trains while riding on a train...is that too meta?

@Jason You know, I always wondered if any farmers play Harvest Moon.

Two words -- laptop and Amtrak, who's had wireless internet available since 2002. Get with the times!
