End of an Era that Died Five Years Ago

Before the Giant Bomb Xboxalypse celebration started last night, I threw Burnout 3 into the 360 and much to my surprise, there were several people playing.  Man, I really miss that game.  I miss the old Burnout games in general.  Paradise was great in its own way, but I hope they get back to something similar to Takedown or Revenge.  But if the rumors are true, and Criterion is working on an SSX game, I'll take that before a new Burnout any day.  And hey, we get more DJ Atomika either way! 
 
Then we tried out some Crimson Skies.  Still had 95% of the people playing as the Devastator.  Personally, I always used the Coyote.  The fireball worked well for me.  I have to agree with Ryan and Dave on the idea of Microsoft doing an new XBLA version of the game. 
 
Lastly, even though I was never really a huge fan of the game, we had to try out the ol' Halo 2.  I didn't know most of the maps, and got completely owned most of the time, but it was still fun.  Even though I hadn't played any of these games in years, it's kinda sad to think I'll never have the option of playing them online again.
