5 Games to Get You Through the XBox Live Downtime

Microsoft told us in advance that they would be taking down the Xbox Live service today for approximately 24 hours for maintenance. They even cautioned us to temper our expectations, letting us know that we would not be seeing the new Xbox Live experience as soon as the service popped back up. We appreciate the heads up Microsoft, but what are we supposed to do in the meantime?

What PWN or DIE decided to do in preparation for this day is to pick five games that we have not paid enough attention to because we have been playing Call of Duty 4 , Halo 3 , GTA IV , or any other game online with our friends. We will be spending our day with them and we will tell you why you may consider doing the same. This list is also applicable in the event of an internet outage or if your free XBLA membership ran out.
