ok, i was just wondering if there were some games out there that makes a system link between two xbox's worth it to have.  i have some star wars games like jedi academy and republic commando but do not know what happens when the system link feature is used or if there are games out there designed to take advantage of this feature.  in case you are wondering i can't run a wireless connection to the xbox for live and do not have the money to continually pay for the service.  i just have a credit to partially pay for a new system.  your thoughts are appreciated, thanks!

I don't recall how many games have the option, but if you have the extra TV and friends over enough to take advantage of it, it can be quite fun. Halo and Halo II co-op especially. Deathmatch stuff is fun, but playing co-op through a campaign is even better when you only have the option of 2 systems, though games like Halo do allow for split screen through system link so you can deathmatch up to 8 people on two systems.
