So after the Nintendo SA debacle, I decided to get an xbox 360. So far I am impressed, except for a couple of things.

There doesn't seem to be wifi support out of the box. This seems like a cheap ploy to get more money out of the customer.

The menu design is is pretty bad. But this is just probably due to being part of MS. But it works

I have a question. Can anyone recommend a good multiplayer (2 person, not online) game. I have Gears of War, so not another FPS. Nor a sport game. A good multiplayer RPG would be good. Elder Scrolls : Oblivion sounds good, but doesn't support multiplayer. Does anyone have any suggestions?

lol, I also bought a 360 coz of Ninty SA's **** up.

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance is a fun hack and slash style RPG that supports up to 4 ppl at once.

What's wrong with the menus? I find them quite intuitive actually.
 
I think the menus are awesome as well? Weird.

The Xbox generally has all nice to haves as optional extras to keep costs in line. If you want to connect it to Live! wirelessly you need to buy the adaptor or pick up any wireless hub and bridge it to your main router. Billion has actually posted a manual on how to do it.. Check the games forum somewhere :D

Dead or Alive 4 is also fun in mulltiplayer.

Kameo is a decentish rpg type game as well... Racing games are always fun as well.
 
Thanks for the tips.

About the menu. I guess I have just gotten used to Apple products, so the menu seems overly complex
 
Wouldnt an AppleExpress work?
 
Would you be interested in Burnout:Revenge for a 2 player experience? Its not a sports game thus my 2 cents. :)

As for the wireless, it keeps the price down and actually gives you a choice to get it afterwards if you really want it. ;)

Another RPG for two players would be Eragon if you enjoyed the movie you will enjoy the game.
 
If racing games are your thing, I agree with useless - burnout revenge is great fun.

When you say multiplayer what are you looking for, all on the same console or over live?

Fusion frenzy 2 comes out this week which is a bunch of party games and looks quite fun, if it's an oblivion type co-op you want, wait till March-May when "Two Worlds" comes out. Crackdown will also have up to 4 player co-op, and so will Monster Madness.

oooo, how could I forget! "Lego Star Wars" rules!

If you just want some light relief there's also "cloning clyde" and "Wik" on XBLA. Actually there's a heck of a lot on Live Arcade:
Assault hero's
Heavy Weapons
Mutant Storm reloaded
Small Arms

Off the top of my head.
