Hobbies: Xbox System Link Games

It's true, I enjoy playing Xbox video games. More so, I enjoy playing multiplayer games over a Local Area Network (LAN).

Sure, Xbox Live is a lot of fun for you can play against anyone with an Internet connection. But hearing your adversaries cry in defeat from the other room when you frag them from behind is much more fun.

To run your own LAN Party, you will need multiple Xboxes, multiple TVs, and System Link compatible games. Unfortunately, Xbox doesn't offer a nice, concise list of System Link compatible games so I thought I'd put together a list for my own reference. I also included Xbox Live games that do not support System Link just because in most cases, one would think that System Link would be offered.
