    Xbox Live Shutting Down for Original Xbox: What Content Do I Need?

    Okay, by now we all know that Xbox Live will be discontinued for original Xbox games on April 15.

    So my question is this: What single-player content should I download before Xbox Live shuts down completely?

    I understand that there are a bunch of multiplayer downloads, like map packs and new game types, but I am not as concerned about those. With Xbox Live shut down, I won't be playing online, and I doubt I'll have my friends over for a rousing game of MechAssault.

    I want to know what good single-player content is available. Off the top of my head, I can think of the Yavin station in KOTOR, and the extra missions in Splinter Cell. Is there anything else that will extend or expand a single-player game? What downloadable content have you enjoyed? There's only a month to go, so I would like to buy or rent those games before then!

    There are some bonus "skill updates" for Phantom Dust, though I can't remember if they're usable in the single-player or not.

    I had no idea that there even was downloadable content for the original Xbox. I guess partly because I never bothered to pay money for a multiplayer service I would never ever have used.

    I think this is the final footage. Seems the service went past 3am but they didn't even continue to keep the cameras running. And no one has even left a comment. Sad but fitting.

    No way, who would have thought that Bungie or MS don't have the ability to boot people off the game! That is awesome, more power to them.

    Some of their names kill me like 'Agent Windex' and 'HiredN00bs'. I saw the other day 'Obese Acrobat'.

    Hasn't someone setup some way of playing Halo 2 through some kind of tunneling software so you can use System Link over the internet to play?

    I thought the software in question was Xlink Kai?
