I've always loved Unreal games and I had play Championship earlier before halo 2 came out. Great game just watch out for those three rockets behind you.

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

I've heard that Crimson Skies is good. I really liked playing Rainbow Six Three: Raven Shield.

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

Crimson Skies is extremely addictive. Plus, it's one of the funnest games there and the single-player is good too.

The game I would recommend is actually a PC game. Whether that automatically disqualifies it, it still is a good game, and I would recommend it to anyone else who is reading this thread.

Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War.

Unfortunately it is a Warhammer game, which I am not the greatest fan of. However, I find it a great game to play on. It's an RTS, but here's the twist. Some units have specific kill animations in melee combat depending what unit is fighting what. This means you get crazy things like the Commander unit smashing the Demon's face with a hammer, as it falls fowards he grabs it's horns, as it stands up again he comes up with it, he hits it around the head, and then smashes it's face into the ground. All this happens in a normal battle. Also, there is no more controlling little workers gathering wood and coal, there are just two rescources, one is acquired through holding strategic points, and the other is acquired by building generators.

I have just one complaint about it, the sound is awful. The voice acting is appalling, and the music hardly puts you in the mood for huge machines of death grabbing infantry, squeezing the life out of them, torching with a flamethrower, then throwing into a wall for good measure. As long as you have some good music to listen to you will enjoy this game :)

Le Mediocrity. It's fun when we win, and funny when we lose!

My brother got a copy of Unreal Championship for $2 and that thing is a piece of garbage! Crimson Skies looks like it could be good. It's too hard for me to get the controls tight, though. I'm too Halo-trained. One thumbstick movement is weeeiiiiird.

Thanks, as a player of RTS games, I may check this one out.

Not many people really play Unreal Championship online anymore. I don't play because it won't let me put voice over the speakers. Every time I get a headset, the earpiece screws up. Eventually, I began to just buy phone headsets, same thing just $10 cheaper. But until I get another headset, I won't be playing Unreal Championship. I'm not that good at it either.

I need to make a correction here. SP sucked. MP is the only thing Crimson Skies is good for.

Those games are at least a year old. Good luck finding someone to play with. Go with Crimson Skys.

PGR 2. a lot of people still play it (i can't remember the person who posted the 'they're old, no one plays them' thing).

EDIT: oh, the person above me. duh.
