I honestly haven't tried it yet, I'm really an on-line PC gamer...are there other current X-box titles that can be played via gamespy arcade?

As of right now, I believe that the only game that can be played online with an X-Box is HALO.

Yep. THPS3 does have online capability already. At least for the PS2 it does.

When you want Microsoft to fail, facts don't matter.

said by John Lettice, The Register:
Microsoft will have a clutch of games ready for the big push, headlined by Star Wars Galaxies and online versions of current Xbox games, including Halo.
Apparently he doesn't know that HALO can already be played online.

Wow, I've been keeping track of all the systems and their games coming out. I'd say some of the most impressive are from Microsoft and Nintendo. Don't get me wrong Sony has some as well, but the ones that I thought (note the word I, meaning opinion) were not only the best looking games, but also seemed to be very enjoyable in terms of gameplay, which to me is the most important key, were titles such as Zelda (GC), Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (X-Box), Metroid Prime (GC), SegaGT2002 (XBox), and Mario Sunshine (GC). These are just a few of what I thought were some of the amazing games that I've seen so far.

Note: These decisions are based upon in game video clips. The final verdict for me will be decided with the finished product.

Man, I want to go to E3 one day

Read that....the thing is they don't address that users will be able to connect via both Any ISP (like they can do now) and via the XBox live system. Essentially the service will be for "newbies", while experienced gamers can take the high road.

They also assume that "success" for Microsoft is dominating the console market. that's not their goal...their goal is to just sit and the table and etch out a place so they can eventually control the set top market down the line....It's pretty heavily argued that the Xbox was only approved as a valid trojan horse in order to tap into the inevitable trend in electronics wherein one box controls the cable, games, video recording, and more....

Microsoft is willing to lose billions to get there.
