My internet is 10MB with 1MB upload I think. I have no problems at all on Xbox live :) I think upload only matters when hosting with certain games. As for NAT.. I have no idea. I'm sure someone here will know.

I *think* fable 2 can be played with friends while you have silver, but other than that I don't think there are many possibilities. If you really want Online MP, just keep an eye out for the 12-month live cards to go on sale.

Sacred 2 is a fun Diablo-like RPG that took my sister and I probably 5 months to complete (I think we had around 100 hours played when we finished) if you like that sort of game. Sadly, most of the non-FPS's that are co-op only do so through system link or xbox live. There's also Arkadian Warriors on the Xbox Live Arcade that has decent co-op. I can't think of any other RPG's or RTS's or anything that are co-op :(

Actually.. the RPG "Tales of Vesperia" is co-op during combat. You can each control a different character, but it's when in combat only.

If you like defense games, Defense Grid (1Player) or South Park Tower(2P i think) are fun games :) Splosion Man, Braid, Geo Wars 2, etc. are all great games for 800 points. I have not played any of the shooter or sport arcade games so I cannot comment. Be sure to download and try out the trials first!

While there's a small chance it might come on release day, i'd probably pay the extra $5-6 if you want to be sure you get it on the 21st. Sometimes they are very quick to process the free super saver, other times it takes longer. Then again, i've never ordered from the UK side :)

I've really enjoyed Defense Grid (Tower defense game if you like those), Castlevania SoTN, Geo Wars 2, and Perfect dark. :) Lots of other decent games like Toy soldiers, etc. that will sometimes be marked down to 800 if you catch the deal.

Please try asking in the Fallout 3 Forums - this is the general Xbox 360 forum; You'll get more players who are playing Fallout there :)

It may not be the best final fantasy game, but I definitely think it's worth a play-through. The main story is very linear until Chapter 10 / 11, which I think was.. 20 or so hours in. But I've really enjoyed the game. The combat does still take some strategy at higher levels. It has lasted me 60 hours so far, although i've paused to do some grinding. :)

Yeah, you have to be very careful :( If you have a credit card on file with them that you used to purchase points or live in the past, they will charge that without warning when your pre-paid card expires. You can now cancel auto-renew online though.

Edit: If you mean that you used your card to purchase Xbox live 1month through the console, then yes, it's auto-renew until you cancel it. You should have been able to see the $8 taken off your card per month.

Age of Conan is a decent adult-themed MMO, and I think they have a free trial :) I tried it - It wasn't my type of game but it was pretty.

Warhammer Online is another decent game if you like PvP and I enjoyed the group quests :)

Dungeons and Dragons Online is Free to Play now and worth checking out if you are a D&D fan.

EVE Online can be VERY complex, but also very rewarding. You can make money doing missions, pirating, building ships, or simply playing the market. It does take a few months of training to be able to pilot the very big ships, but you can make an impact even as a new pilot. Death Penalty is probably the harshest of any game as you lose your ship permanantly and most components that were on it.

AION is a newer MMO. It's very pretty and I enjoy it quite a bit. The player base for some servers has started to decline a bit. It's like WOW-questing for the first 15-20 levels, then mixes in some grind along with more quests. It was originally a Korean MMO but has been somewhat changed for Western players. I will say I love the armor customziation :) I'm not sure if they have a trial, but I know if you head over to thier forums here on Gamespot there are people offering buddy keys.

Those are the one's that I have personally played. I have not tried Guild Wars so I cannot comment :)
