I had Crimson Skies and I don't have Live, I played through the single player mode. I thought it was very enjoyable, the weapons are great, you can be a good guy if you want, or on the other hand you can just blow everything out of the sky. It'll also take you quite a while to finish it. The only thing is that once you do finish it, there isn't really any replay value.

Meh, PGR 2 is out. I'll never need another racer again.

I haven't actually tried the XIII multiplayer yet, will later on. Nor have I tried Crimson Skies on Live, but I'm loving the single player and it has a 4 player split screen. So you don't even need Live for it to be worth it. Highly recommended.

Yeah, just realise he'd highlighted the exclusives bit. My mistake...

Cyclone questioned why I said those games were exclusive, to which I replied that it's not really fair to count games on both Xbox and PC, considering that the console is best seen as something for people who don't have massively expensive computers.

Coincidence I guess.

Bar R: Racing, which is pretty balls but on the Cube you get Pac-Man :-D

Anyhoo, I'd agree with XIII, it's brilliant, although I'm not too keen on multiplayer myself. As for Crimson Skies, I want it, but have no Live so I'm not really sure whether it not it'd be worth it.

Pretty much everything other people have said.

I think that was referring to Cyclone quoting his message and making 'exlsuives' bold, woman

Just to say, I was only pointing out none of those were only on Xbox - not saying the Xbox had no good games or anything......
