Xbox Link Cable Games? (other than Halo)

Wondering if anyone has any info on what, if any, upcoming games support link cable play. I've had 3 Xboxes hooked up for some Halo multiplayer and it's a blast.

Hopefully others will include link options on their games.

Edit 5/28/02

Now that we have games like Brute Force and Unreal Championship and a few other FPS's does anyone know if these will feature link play? I've not been able to find anything that addresses this.

I think that Tony Hawk 3 has this feature as well.

Do many people actually lug there xbox around to link up. I could see it once in a while, but I don't really consider linking up a reason to buy a game. I doubt I'd ever do it more than once or twice.

Then you obviously have never played a linked up game of Halo. We have only linked up 2 so far & had 8 man deathmatches. I have done that more than actually play the storyline game. t is plain addictive & everyone that has tried it (at our Halo get-togethers) has loved it.

A friend just gave me a LAN & my goal is to do the 3 &4 Xbox link-up! 16 people all battling each other in one room! Oh, the fighting..the conflict...the trash talking!!! It will be awesome!

Our problem is we do not have a 3rd person yet with an Xbox. Dammit!!!

I saw that mine said the same thing but I think it is a misprint. I have never heard of any link up games for Max Payne. If it was possible, I would have kept it after I finished it.

Well, I've had my friends over twice already, we are already planning another get together. We will hopefully have a fourth joining next time. Playing Halo DM, Oddball and Rally is soooo much more fun and chalenging when you aren't able to see exactly where your opponent is like when you play split screen.

I'm hoping that Brute Force and Unreal Championship will have link play.
