PS2 ONLINE : A REVIEW + XBOX LIVE : Need list of games onlin

[Templehorn]

I am considering hooking up with Xbox Live but I am not sure yet. I have ps2 online and while it´s good, it´s still not as ´fun´ as when I had DC online.
<BR>
<BR>Just a brief review of ps2 online so far :
<BR>
<BR>Sega Sports games online : on ps2 they suck, why?? because nobody is on online to play for ps2 sega. Sure there are some issues like pausing and sharing camera´s, but not enough people online to play. Just seems there is a high percentage of bad gamers on there (look at the top 50 list for nba2k3, the first 2 guys are something like 35-0 and their names are like ´easportsrules´ or ´nbaliveisbetter´).
<BR>
<BR>EA Sports : plus is tons of people are online, which is great, but the games I´ve played just don´t pack that umph that the DC games did online. NBALIVE is a great online game but only if you play someone you know or you get someone to play staright up. Madden is nice online, but the game is a cheesers heaven. It is frustrating since you can do everything right, but your opponent can do some crazy manuvers and complete his/her pass. You really need to be part of a online leauge to play fair players with EA online since there are tons of people on.
<BR>
<BR>Socom : game is fun, only big plus I find for ps2 online. I rented the game so didn´t get the microphone but others tell me the voice chat is a whole lot of fun.
<BR>
<BR>So anyone know what online games are going to be for XBOX LIVE? Can you provide a list. I really want to find a reason to buy xbox especially w/ the bundle deal. So far from what I hear, sega´s games play tons more better on xbox than their ps2 counterpart. Also, unilke ps2 online, looks like sega xbox online will be full of fellow gamers.<BR><BR><font size=1>[ This message was edited by: Templehorn on 03-11-2002 21:12 ]</font>

Temple of Siam:
<BR>
<BR>Xbox Live launch games:
<BR>
<BR>NFL 2K3
<BR>NBA 2K3
<BR>NFL Fever 2003
<BR>Moto GP
<BR>Unreal Championship
<BR>Whacked!
<BR>NHL 2K3
<BR>Ghost Recon
<BR>Mech Assault
<BR>
<BR>I think that covers the Live-enabled titles at launch. Am I missing any, anyone? The only dogs in that bunch appear to be Whacked! -- stupid game -- and NFL Fever 2003 -- really bad game.
<BR>
<BR>Siam, I can´t speak for the quality of the PS2 online experience. I don´t have a PS2! But the Xbox Live experience has been fantastic, even in beta. Highly, highly, highly recommended.
<BR>
<BR>Take care,
