"Good Xbox Live games"

Hello chumps.

List the games you play on Xbox Live why not.

I'll start:

None.

I don't have Xbox Live yet. But I will. And I have Pro Evo 4, but I sold Halo 2. I have Crimson Skies, and I'm looking forward to Battle For Midway.

My recommendations are:
Halo 2
Project Gotham Racing 2
Crimson Skies
RalliSport Challenge 2
Rainbow Six 3

I'll probably add Forza to that list when I get it in a week or so. Too busy right now.

I might've been a bit harsh on Snowblind.

There are usually one or two people on but not enough usually for more than a 4 player game.

No, it really is horrible.

Dead:

Snowblind (shame as Snowblind is excellent)
Tenchu
Conan


Just about going:

Crimson Skies


Still going with strong communities and cheap:

Unreal
Counter-Strike
Rainbow Six 3
Rainbow Six: Black Arrow
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
Ghost Recon: Island Thunder


The current cream of the crop:

Halo 2
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Ghost Recon 2

Links 2004, best golf game around and great on Live.

Seconded.

It's still the LIVE game I play the most, as it's satisfying owning Americans at what they think they're good at.

Over and over again.

Project Gotham 2 is great on live and it's practically lag free on live. I really enjoyed it, a good game if you like non serious racers that don't require an age to learn. It can be tough but it's a very rewarding game.

That was my first opinion, but you soon get the hang of it. The spots that people use are constantly changing - so just find some hiding places on the popular maps and good places to attack from and you will soon become good.

The Live starter
kit in PC World comes with Halo 2 for £35.

Timesplitters 3 - Just good fun, unlike Halo 2 where everyone will pwon you because they're L337 H@>
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory - Probably my favourite online but is really damn hard when played in VS mode

Ghost Recon 2 - Different kind of pace to all my other Live games but is a hell of a lot of fun. There's also not many uber kiddies online so you won't have to put up with 10 year old Americans screaming in your ears
