I like the look of Conflict Desert Storm II as it doesn't seem to difficult to control (played demo), but what do I know?
best i would have to say is Rainbow Six 3 by a long shot, coming in a quite far back second would be Amped 2 and Soldier of Fortune 2.
Then of course we've got TOCA, Counterstrike, PGR2, Links 2004 and NHL Rivals all coming up in the next few weeks. Should be a busy time me thinks...

I disagree, I think the handling feels very 'flat', and there are much better examples of good handling (SEGA GT, Colin McRae, and TOCA Race Driver), two of which are coming out on Live in the next week or so.

Rainbow Six 3
THE two best Live games at the moment. I predict Amped 2 will be muchos goodos online too, although I haven't gotten round to playing it on Live yet.

agreed, it was very good, although I think the first game was slightly better. of course, that's a rally game though, and can't be compared to a track racer.
That's how I know the handling is crap.
Best handling in a game I've played so far is Sega Rally 2 in the arcade.
