Yes, keep this updated. This list will also help those people like myself who use XBConnect (www.xbconnect.com) to play games online without XBOX Live.

I just hooked up High Speed Internet and being an XBOX fan I was starting to look into XBOX LIVE. This thing you're showing me seems promising but is it any good?

yeah its fun, but can be a pain to start up a game. Xbconnect has the best halo players in the world, so its easy to get outclassed.
Also, ultra low latency games are hard to find, so you are best off hosting so that you are lag free.

Has pros and cons.
It's not LIVE though, that's the only downside.
It's cool playing non Live game on xbconnect, pro.

I updated the first post, but I'm sure that there are more to add.
And again, having 2 xboxes and 2 TVs rocks. I enjoy it much more than name/faceless Xbox Live play. I just need a few more local xbox friends.

What about madden 2004? The lack of Live support really sucks, but I would get this game if it was system link compatible, if not, I am perfectly happy with ESPN football.

How about noting which games let you have more than one person per TV on system link games, like Halo? With Halo we can get 8 people on 2 xboxs/TVs, with other system link games we'd need 8 xboxs/TVs to do 8 people. A list of which games support split screen with system link would be great for planning LAN parties.

And speaking of LAN parties, we really should organize DVDtalk local ones.

I know offhand that Halo supports 4-player split screen on one TV, PGR2 does 2-player split screen, and we tried Deathrow once, I think that one just showed a zoomed out view of the whole arena, but I could be mistaken. Halo was the most fun and we end up playing that 99% of the time, but PGR2 is starting to grow on us.
Local DVDTalk LAN parties would be cool, nothing is more fun than having 4 xboxs/TVs set up for 8 on 8 Halo CTF on Blood Gulch!

SWAT says on the box that is supports system link but it does not. My buddy bought four copies of this game when it came out for us to play system link. He opened them and found out that the box is labled incorrectly. Best Buy gave him a big stink about returning them but they eventually gave him store credit. Do a google search and you will see.

Multiplayer
You cannot play SWAT online. No Xbox Live play isn't that much of a drawback since they included 4-player split screen matches. The 2-player co-op is most of the multiplayer action that I played, and I was very pleased with it. This is because the missions are 10 all new scenarios, and different from the single player game. You can also download new deathmatch maps from Xbox Live. Although I haven't had the chance, SWAT: GST supports system link play (says on the back of the box, but I can't find the option in the game). While there is a bunch of different deathmatch modes, they are not as fun as the co-op mode.

I updated the first post and put in the max players per TV for a few games. Feel free to give me corrections/additions please.
I should learn how to do tables to make it look better......
Also, has anyone else tried Top Spin linked? Am I missing something or is it almost totally worthless to play it this way? Seems like the view is the same if you play it on one TV or 2. I haven't played it much, so maybe there is a setting to make it more '1st person' view for each TV.

I was disappointed to find that Halo 2 did not support co-op over system link.
Here's my little contribution and will post more as I come across them:
Unreal Championship 2 - system link.
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - system link and co-op.
Forza Motorsport - system link.
Men of Valor - system link and co-op.
Ghost Recon 2 - system link and co-op.
Full Spectrum Warrior - co-op.
