Okay I only have Crimson Skies and Halo 2 right now. I'm looking for some cheap but fun games that both me and a friend can pick up so we can play together. I was thinking Bust A Move, or Tetris Worlds even. What do you guys have in mind?

And a question:

Do you have any limit on the recorded messages you can send? I can't see why anyone would want to type out a text message.

Oh and, when playing Halo 2 your stats/rank isn't effected with the matchmaking? Or how does that work?

And, if I got a second controller I could play it with my bro even with only one subscription right?

 

[Sullichin]

Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow
Rainbow Six 3

Tetris worlds is terrible..

 

[jedimike]

Counter-Strike has a huge XBL following and it's only $20.

Others...

Amped 2
Wolfenstein
Midtown Madness 3
Rallisport Challenge 2
Carve
Pandora Tomorrow
Ghost Recon

Magic the Gathering Online... if you know you will be playing your friend, otherwise you'll never find anyone else to play against.

Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow
Rainbow Six 3

Agreed, not to mention pointless when Tetrinet exists.

Midtown Madness 3

Best XBox Live game ever.

I'm knee deep in Moto Gp 2 right now (best racing game on the xbox), but unless you're really into racing games it's probably too hardcore..

I would recommend Project Gotham Racing 2 instead (though to play online well you need to finish single player first)..

Project Gotham Racing 2 is really fun online.

Definately pick up Splinter Cell: PT

I don't think so.

Your rank isn't effected by custom games. The ranking only works for matchmaking

You can play online with a guest, but only on selected games. Like Halo 2, or Mechassault.

Rainbow Six 3 is quite a lot of fun online, unlike its single player mode..

Also, check out Phantom Dust when it's released...

OutRun 2

you can find it for about $10, and leagues above 99.8% of xbox games.

There's never anyone on OutRun 2. I check the XBL mode every time I load the game up but never manage to find a game, and the one time I decided to create a game and wait I just had some Spanish guy come in asking me if I spoke Spanish, and when I replied "no, English" he just left. Rejected.

I've been lucky enough to find one every time I've checked. Usually there's only that one, though.
