GameSpot has (or at least my local store) buy 2 used games get one free special going on. So, I picked up Crimson Skies, Rogue Agent, and Elder Scrolls III (yes, it's a gay RPG) for a grand total of 25 bucks. I got the first two against my better judgement, seeing as no one is ever on xbox live anymore. Give me a call so I don't regret sinking more money into Live games we never play. My $50 annual Live subscription started last month and I think we've played once since then. Blah.

I do recommend Rogue Agent for a $15 game. It's a lot like Goldeneye was for the N64 but with much cooler weapons and gadgets... and it's freakin' sweet to grab a hostage and let his friends cap his ass raw, then chuck the half-corpse into the crowd. The best is when you nearly kill an enemy and one of his friends grabs him and uses him as a hostage/human shield. There is no "I" in team. Also you can use machines and traps to kill enemies. I mistakenly backed into a sauna (Chinese bathhouse stage, don't ask) and the bastards shut the door and I got steamed to death. I'd go as far to say it is better than Halo 2 on single player. It is nothing like Everything or Nothing, which has been gathering dust since the first day I played it.
