I started a thread about it back in November. I was totally psyched to get it and played it every day for about a week. For some reason I haven’t played it since then though. Don’t know why, it just got old quick I guess. Few dopers showed interest in my thread but now that christmas is past you might get a better response here. Maybe if some dopers want to play I will get back into it. Unreal Tournament is all I have right now. Loved Ghost Recon for the week that I rented it but played every mission several times so I don’t really care to rent it again. ---

I just got Xbox Live, Unreal, Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell for Xmas. Problem is, My PCs CDROM is fucked at the moment, so until I get that taken care of, there will be no Xbox Live. BTW, Splinter Cell is FANTASTIC. ---

What does your PCs CDROM have to do with Xbox Live? ---

How is the voice chat? Is it cool and fun, or is it 13-year-olds cursing at you and talking in leet speak? ---

I’m really not big on first-person shooters (actually, I enjoy them, I just get motion sickness from playing them). Is there any reason to get Xbox live other than FPSs? ---

The quality of the voice is good, comparable to an analog cell phone. I have only run into one or 2 people who are jackasses on GR, but I played Unreal for a little bit and it is worse there. All in all you get unlimited play for a year for the price of one game. Well worth it to me. GR is the only game I have been playing for the last few weeks, and I have Metroid Prime and Splinter Cell on my shelf left to finsh. ---

I plan on getting MechAssalt and I have NFL Fever now. If anyone would like to play the demos or NFL Fever right now; let me know and we’ll set it up. I’m going by the GamerTag - Dragon Clan, since there’s more than one person in my house that might be playing at any given time. ~t ---
