Considering asking for an Xbox for Christmas at very short notice due to your ramblings of it in this forum. Damn you all.
What are the essential Xbox Live games?
I'm talking about the ones which actually have decent online play and alot of variety online. Because I'll be purchasing mainly for Live, so not wanting to get bored of it quick.

Sorry you misunderstood me, I just ignored these, was referring only to Brute Force. Should have deleted them.

Thing is, PGR2 is not a serious racer in the true sense. It is serious in some aspects, i.e. the way to win is to not hit walls all the time. And the handling is quite realistic. On the other hand it is very pick up and play, no tuning cars, no modding cars and whilst you have to have a few tokens to unlock some cars it isn't really money based. Just so you have to work a bit to get the Enzo. In short it is a better game than MSR, it has that X factor that PGR lacked, it has 102 cars, over 100 tracks, beautiful graphics, great sound and the best online play.
At the very least rent it if you get an Xbox, you really cannot decide you don't like it on the basis of the first two, but if you did like the first two you will like it. It's just more brilliant than the first two in every way y'see.

Hunter and Stayway n MM3 are genius
Colin McRae Rally 4 is the biggest copout - you get to race a single ghost car. Whoopdeedoo *twirls finger*
Actually, I haven’t done any racing online in MM3.

Me and Snuggly were in the top 700 the other day for doubles. That's, like, good, right?
