<--------XBOX Live newb
 

FINALLY got XBL to work. So what are the best games to get for online? I'm going to get Pandora Tommorrow, but what are other games that people are actually playing online now?

PS my gamertag is chicubfan

ya before anyone mentions it i realize the arrow in the title should be pointing the other way

Take some time to practice before you play Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. Everyone that I have played with has been a complete jerk.

how so?

I would highly suggest Project Gotham Racing 2, Links & ToCA 2 (much more realistic then PGR2). Crimson Skies has gotten alot of good words around here as well. Also, if you haven't yet add your name to goLUCKY's gamertag database.

C'mon now- that's 3 responses and still no mention of Ghost Recon, the best XBL game out now.

you need to spell out some of those acronyms

i actually had ghost recon awhile ago. didnt like it, but i didnt play it online. i think i will go with rainbow six

The only non-obvious one I see is: ToCA Race Driver 2

Crimson Skies
Top Spin Tennis
MechAssault
and the Moto GP live demo is still a great live game

Check OUT
ESPN FOOTBALL 2K4
RTCW
Rainbow 6
Top SPIN

PGR2?

ok just got back from game crazy and i got: Links 2004, Pandora Tommorrow, and Rainbow Six.

I spelled it out earlier in my post :p

PGR2 = Project Gotham Racing 2

Definitely pick up PGR2. It's how all games should be set up to use XBL.

HAHAHA sorry

yeah, XBL has a lot of stupid asses who take gaming waaaaayyyy toooo serisously. Instead of just having fun they're all about clans and kicking you out of tthe room for no apparent reason. Some days it's hard to find friendly rooms.

well so far i've noticed a sense of immaturity from most of the people over the headset. one kid made everyone listen to insane in the membrane while another sang my band by D12.

My personal favorite right now is RalliSport Challenge 2.

Crimson Skies is my main addiction. I have actually had really good luck finding good rooms and people to play with in CS.

Xbox Live needs to have "Casual" rooms or something like that for people that don't care about their ranking. I play for fun and I hate playing with jerks that only care about their ranking.

Go buy Rainbow Six!!! Now that's one awesome xbox live game!!!!

This is why being able to mute a player is heaven. I know in Crimson Skies you can mute individual people.

I've been playing loads of Crimson Skies lately and adore it. I have RS3 but haven't played it online yet because i'm afraid of the Tom Clancy fans - they always take the games way too seriously and are frequently little brats about them.

pretty much any racing game. right now, i play:

MotoGP 2
Rallisport 2

i've had fun w/ a lot of the other games mentioned previously.

casual rooms? imo, better to find a core group that's pretty good to play with and stick w/ them.

don't forget to check golucky's xbox live gamertag thread.

I did get rainbow six, and thats a blast to play online
