I'm on live!!!!  I have NFL 2k3, NHL 2k3, Ghost Recon Island Thunder, and Capcom vs SNK 2 EO.

Anyone have these games?  I'd like to play some circle members.

I was wondering how Ghost Recon was. And then there is Thunder Island. Is that the Live version?

Ghost Recon Island Thunder is a squad based shooter that is OK in single player mode, but amazing over Xbox live.  You go in with a squadron of up to six buddies and take on a bunch of commies in Cuba.  It is very strategic and has numerous mission objectives.  Very fun!

OK I will get it - it would be neat to form a squadron. Who else do you want on your squadron, sir?

[mcrespo71]

Well, it's fun to play with friends because you have different specialists on your squad.  For example, 2 could be bad ass soldiers, you could have one Sniper (my personal favorite), one support/soldier guy, and a demolitions expert that blows up tanks.  So with the voice chat you go into each mission and have to attack it differently.  You need to keep chatting and stay together as a squad or you are toast!  The game really gives you the feeling that you are in a small elite group that pulls covert missions.  It rocks!  If anyone wants to get a game going, give me a PM and we can set one up.  BTW, this game (along with any Xbox game) is available for the Toys R Us buy 2 get 1 free.  It ends soon, so get those games and let's go LIVE!  

I'm getting Rainbow 6, Crimson Skies, and Top Spin tennis, which are all Live compatible!

Also, there are 3 extra downloadable missions that are only available on Xbox Live for Ghost Recon Island Thunder.

I heard GREAT things for Rainbow Six 3.  Supposed to be very fun on Xbox Live.....up there with Crimson Sun and Top Spin apparently for fun factor.

gamesreview.com has all the info...

Ok, I have a bunch of you people on my friends list for Xbox live, but no one, with the exception of skybox, is ever on!!!!!  You guys are not using one of the Xbox's greatest features- online play.  I'd especially like to go into a mech assault battle with the resident Xbox fanboy, Rob Babcock!

 I'm sure you'd pound me into jelly.  I may even loose my Fanboy status if you knew how bad I am at most games.     Just ask Bubba966 how good I am at MechAssault...

I've been meaning to practice up, though, and I'll have to see what other online games I have.   Most of the games of the type I like aren't 'live games.

[mcrespo71]

My live games (PM me if you want to play sometime):

Top Spin
Crimson Skies
Castle Wolfenstein
Rainbow 6
GRIT-ghost recon
Mech Assault
Capcom vs SNK
NFL 2k3
Phantasy Star Online

I don't have Crimson Skies yet, but it's on sale this week for $30 at BB.  Depending on how many auctions I "win" on E-Bay, I might be able to still afford it!

My brother has Wolfenstein, but I'd better practice for awhile.

I work 3 days a week, 12 hrs per day.  My schedule:  Weds, Thurs, Fri, 7:00 am til 7:30 pm.  So Sunday & Mon nites are usually best.

Tonite game 2 of the Lakers/Spurs game is just about to tip off, then I gotta work real early, so this week is shot, I'm afraid.
