I can get XBLive! Now, what to get with it?

Due to a trip my beloved wife is taking this summer, I decided to demand a yin to her yang. The result? I can get on XBox Live finally. So, to the people of Console Gold, I ask this question. What else should I get besides the starter kit? I have seen the starter kits in Best Buy and such but I'm also wanting a bad-ass headset to talk smack to everyone here while beating them silly at Halo 2. I've got a long enough cable to reach my router, so no issue there. Let me know, and soon enough I shall finally be on this service!

Halo 2 is lots of fun. Crimson skies is another one(that might come with the kit nowadays). PGR2 is a blast although I haven`t played much recently. Brothers in arms is looking good over live. BTW, Harpua3 is my gamertag send me an invite if ya want. I`m usually on late nights. Later.

PGR2 was fun online...I spend all my time on the ESPN sports games and Halo 2  And you won't believe how silky smooth Xbox Live is.

Grab ESPN NFL 2k5 before all you can play is Madden.

ESPN College Hoops is another fun one.

Yeah, get a copy of 2k5. It's excellent, and I normally don't even bother with the football games.

I'd also recommend Ghost Recon 2 if it catches your fancy at all. I've had some really great games on Live with that.

Other than those two and Halo 2, the only other live games I own are Burnout 3, DOA Ultimate, and Links 2004. All of them are great, though they're kind of niche titles.

I just want to warn you that ghost recon 2 is a buggy game. Go look at thier forums. I`m not saying it isn`t fun or that you shouldn`t buy it. I just have enough stuff to do that I don`t need to dodge bugs on a console game. Especially since I always wanted to play halo2 instead. :wink:  And yes Live! is usually really smooth.
