Final Notes : :(
I mainly bought Men of Valor for the offline game which is really quite excellent actually, definetly a lot better than the reivews would have you believe if you can look past a bit of stupid AI at times.
I had a quick go on Live the other day and from what I've played it should be pretty good fun, my Broadband connection's being rubbish recently though so I didn't stay on for long as I was lagging like hell.

That's another game I need to get.
So far I'm getting...
Thief 3
Second Sight
Conflict Vietnam
Call of Duty
Spider-man 2
The Suffering
Worms Forts
X-Men Legends
As soon as I find them at the right price e.g £15 and below.
I'm sure there's probably more that I'm forgetting as well.
Sleeper hit of last year, excellent fun to play, fantastic story, great characters, great boss battles, best console physics engine to date. Overall just a fantastic game sadly forgotten as it was released at a similar time to Driv3r and Riddick in the States.
Trust me, buy it >> love it.
But as I said before, I'll occupy said time with PC Gaming. The likes of Forza, Conker, Chaos Theory and Future Perfect will ensure my Xbox doesn't gather dust - it's just a matter of waiting :)
2 months time and then suddenly out of nowhere games release insanity, won't be able to move for all the games getting released.
For the next 2 months I'll just be catching up on games that I missed out on last year because of lack of funds and time to play them. Picked up Men of Valor the other day for 15 squids which is suprisingly excellent, AI's a bit hit and miss at times but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun.
Damn dirty gooks!
Chaos Theory will change all that though.
