The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
So back in the day I was addicted to WoW and played nothing else, my friend gave me his old xbox when he got a 360 (the wow addiction is why I have no idea what good online games there are for that old xbox ). A little while back I got my own 360 so now I want to pass the old xbox off to one of my friends who doesn't have a lot of disposable income. We're friends from way back and he lives all the way across the country now so I figured it would be a cool way for us to stay in touch by being able to play some games over xbox live sometimes. So my question to you all is what games would we be capable of playing each other at over Live that he can play on the old Xbox? Halo 2 I know and I may buy him a copy of that when I send out the console, how was that Mech Assault game? Were any of the old Tony Hawk games playable over Live?
Edit: I may have misread or you are a sneaky editer.
In any case, Crimson Skies and SC: Chaos Theory are both very good and should be very cheap by now.
I'm glad this thread came up. I'm tempted to get Fable, but I'm running out of space. So I'm contemplating getting the 120GB hard-drive. I've heard lots of complaints, though, so I'm wondering if there's anything I need to know. Is transferring and playing my downloaded content and games simple enough? I thought I heard something about having to be online just to play them.

No, that last part is only if you get a new console.

RTCW was such a great online experience when it came out, but the graphics may be a little too outdated with a dead community to play. Perhaps one of the old Ghost Recon cames? They do have co-op online.

Awesome! Thanks, man. I guess I might have to pick up the bigger hard-drive soon.

any idea if any of the older Tony Hawk Games or any skating games games in general were worthwhile over live?

Mechassault prompted me to get my Live subscription. However, I recall it deteriorating into Mad Cat (was that the cheapo mech?) wars before too long. I never took the 2nd online.
I never played Crimson Skies though I just bought it off Live. No one was in matchmaking when I tried to play online.
Halo 2likely has maintained some semblance of community. Between those unable to obtain 360s and those who undoubtedly have decided that Halo 3 is shit (similar to the people who still think Halo was better than 2) there's gotta be a decent number.
I hear rave reviews about Phantom Dust though I have not played it personally.
Oh and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory co op is wonderful, if brief.
I'm actually in the same boat as your friend and playing a hand me down xbox. I'm hoping that I get a 360 for christmas but as of now the only live games that i've found that still have people on them are Halo 2, Crimson Skies sometimes...sometimes Phantom Dust and Mech Assault. My friends just gave me a bunch of old Xbox games and i'll check out the Live situation with those too.
Phantom Dust is the best game on Xbox...... period. I love it more than my man-self.
I have dreams about an updated version for 360. Seriously that game CONSUMED me. I was even involved in a fan site that worked out all the nuances of all the skills and made a crazy spreadsheet.
Ive played through that game again on BC for 360 incase a PA community rose up. WINK WINK.... RISE UP!!! damn you.

psst....go buy Phantom Dust. now.
Mechassault is great IF played with friends. One Madcat per team is fine, but no more then that. Just don't get Mechassault 2, they killed it...
sounds good man let me know what you find out ;-)
