Wired routers are now dirt cheap, about £10/$20, it allows you to play in against people with lan (pc vs pc too) and share internet access so it is worth it, even if you don't use system link all that often.
The rarest game I know for xbox is Marvel vs Capcom 2. I am still looking for the game at a gamestop or ebgames but can't find it. I may have to get it off ebay, amazon, or gamefly.BigB10123
I've seen a few copies of Marvel vs Capcom 2 :p but seeing as the price is about $30 second hand nad gamespot say it's a bad game I wouldn't say it's on the top of my list.
Just to clear things up - anyone who says 'xbox is dead man...just upgrade to a 360' I will hunt down and slaughter so keep that comment to yourself.
I want to know if there are ANY games coming up the xbox, I don't care if they are made by third party programmers or whatever, just give me a shread of hope, a rumor or anything. Keep my spirits up :p
Finding xbox live a bit useless when playing with other people so i'm wanting a list of games (that you are sure of) that support split screen online multiplayer. So far my only games are halo 2 and PGR2.
This is an old thread but I thought I should bring it up again. Even as today, the same point is true. Next-gen consoles still fall short of computers. The graphics of the 360 and PS3 are really impressive but compared to the upcoming pc title of Crysis, Pc's still win. Remember, as I said before, pc's are what make consoles exists. If computers were never invented, consoles wouldn't be either. Right now, I'm running a 1998 Gateway Pentium II computer that I've experimented with ever since I've received it back in 1998. When I first got it, I didn't know anything about computers. Back then, I was still in middle school. Now with all the lessons I've learned from just playing around with the settings and wanting to max the potential of this pc, I'm a pc guru. Now I actually build pc rigs without stepping 1 inch into a technical school. What I can do with computers, companies actually pay professionals to do paying good money. If you want to learn these same skills, understand its not hard to learn. You just have to learn the basics and go from there. You'll see, compared to consoles, it'll pay off. I will accept any/all criticism anybody has to dash out. This is my opinion but if you share my ideas, please post to maybe influence the people that will disagree with me. Thank you

I agree with you there...by just playing around with a PC you can learn a lot, although you probably won't make too much cash from that because you wouldn't have any actual qualifications. I could list a number of reasons why people tend to sway to console rather than PC gaming. The first is the price. A PC which has the gaming power of an xbox 360 would cost you around 3-4 times the price. Most people wouldn't want to dish out thousands just to have a game which is slightly prettier and runs a little more smoothly. The second point I have to bring up is the simplicity of using a gaming console. You know that if you buy a game it's going to work, if it's faulty you can get your money - this is not always the case with PC games as some people like to copy games and return them. Even after looking at the spec on the back of the PC game box you don't always know 100% that the game would work. For example the spec says you need a 256 MB graphics card but when you try to run the game you receive a graphics error because your particular graphics card is not supported. The third point is thinking outside the power of each system; the actual games. Unfortunately the PC gaming industry is dominated mainly by FPSs and MMORPGs. It's rare to see any platformers or racing games. Consoles on the other hand have more exclusive titles including action/adventure games, wacky racing games but still have the FPS games PC gamers love so much. The final point is probably the most important. Hardly any PC game has split screen multiplayer. If a friend or two come over are you really going to let them watch you play WoW or Counterstrike? That is heart of gaming; playing with other people, not that online trash they throw at us (that's basically playing against a slightly harder AI character). There is nothing like murdering your best mate with a shotgun and then laughing at their face.
I'm sick of everyone saying 'get a 360', if you don't have an HD tv the xbox looks pretty much the same as the xbox 360 and there are many more games for the normal xbox that are very good but not able ot play on the xbox 360. Also gettign an xbox 360 with a hard drive, extra controllers and a few games would cost you too much...
Just got my whole xbox collection in front of me (don't believe in renting) hopeing that you have missed a game out. Well Wrath Unleashed is a nice multiplayer game combining hack and slash to a 'chess like' gameplay. Overall I feel this game should be considered to be included, it's a nice game to play with friends. *Skips a few games* How about touching the sports section? Like tony hawks, fifa or pro evvolution?
