Well all xbox 360 games have live support (even if it's only content download) so buying all those games and not having live would feel like your paying full price for roughly half of the games' contents.

So, of course buy the games, that's what the system's for, but your really missing out on a lot by not having live.:?

Well, call of duty 3 and rainbow six vegas will be pointless without xbox live. And I'm pretty sure Gears of war but then again I dont have that game so I'm not sure.

Oblivion and Crackdown are worth buying since they are mainly single player (Oblivion is only SP). None of the other ones are worth getting without live.

I've owned an Xbox 360 for about a year and a half and I connect to live with a dial-up connection so technically I'm not exactly in on the action. I'm not sure it's even buying a 360, no offense, if you don;t have Xbox Live. I mean, that's their selling point. If you take away Live from all those great games like Halo all you get is a great game instead of a legendary game. That's why I take pride in cursing myself out every morning for buying the damn thing anyway.

Crackdown is an amazing game it will last a long time looking for orbs, and killing bosses... RB6V is a fun game, but the Single player won't last you... the multiplayer is amazing though and if you ever get live... it is a must have... I wasn't a fan of Gears of War, but it has an alright story... Oblivion is a must... that game is truly a masterpiece... Call of Duty 3 is the same as RB6... it is fun, but it won't last...

Also live is an extremly good feature to have... I think if you ever get the oportunity to get it... you should... older games had amazing stories with a multiplayer mode added for people who finished the story... but more and more games are making the mulitplayer what the game is all about, there are even multiplayer only games now... if you get live you will not be disappointed... it adds a whole new level to gaming...

all of the games you mentioned are great, even without Live. Splitscreen coop in Gears and Vegas make them worthwhile. Crackdown, CoD3 and Oblivions have great single player as well. You're fine with those games.

Of course, once you can, you should definitely get Live.

Definitely go for Crackdown and Oblivion since you can enjoy them without LIVE as well as the others but these two feature great single player. I would also consider games made especially for single player such as RPGs like Lost Odyssey.

I can't live in my house without XBL...

Gears is good without online, but you'll want to wait til your town gets hi-speed internet because that game is 100x better with XBL.

Get Oblivion. some sports games if you're into sports. and Crackdown/Naruto/BioShock

Get rid of crackdown, gears of war, call of duty 3 rainbow six vegas from that list.. There are much better games especially since you wont be playing on live for who knows how long. I recommend Oblivion (GOTY edition), Mass Effect, Bioshock, Devil May Cry 4, Lost Odessy. Also like someone else said, if you are a sports fan then add that as well.

Gears of war single player mode is not that long. Games that have no multiplayer like Assassins Creed Mass Effect last alot longer then games with a multiplayer.

I agree, look more for single player games. look for multiplayer games once you have live or once you know when youll get live. all the games Nocturnal listed are must haves for a great single player experience.

All are good and worth getting if you can IMO. Crackdown and Oblivion are great for offline.

Oblivion is a great single player game that you can play. Gears of war is a pretty good game if you like shooting games. Other then that if you also like other games that aren't online like RPG's are also good to get.

Try and get games 2nd hand like off eBay or trade in's as most games are not worth £40 (or $60 is your in the US) for single player content. Oblivion is a great single player game, Rainbow 6 vegas has a great stroy line, Gears of War has a wicked story line, Assassins Creed is another very good single player game and maybe even the first need for speed on the 360 (can't remember the name) if your into driving games.

Well, Oblivion is great if you really like RPGs, otherwise I don't recomend it. I woudl say Assassins's Creed and GOW are good options, cuz with the rest u definitely need Live to get the most out of the experience.

They are all good games for SP. The only reason you'd need live is if you feel the need to be verbally abused by a ten year old who is a better gamer than you will ever be. lol
