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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
