I just checked. There _is_ an Action Replay for the X-Box. See [www.codejunkies.com](http://www.codejunkies.com)

Free? Now _that’s_ my kind of online game!

I have only played EQ online so my online experience isnt that large, until recently. I have started playing Xbox live, Halo2, and I have yet to run across any obvious cheating. Yea, there are some glitches people use, like pulling flags thru walls and such, but I have only seen that VERY rarely.

Of course, now that I said that, I will be insta-killed 40 times in a game tonight…
