The guys over at OXM have gone to all the effort of checking out the Xbox 360's older games to see if you can still get a game online. Check out the list below for the full info.
The most popular games online are Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3. You know that, I know that, everyone knows that.
So what happens to the lesser known games as time marches on and the smaller games are squeezed off the shelves? Do the communities live on? Do the hardcore refuse to let go? Do newcomers to Xbox Live wander into empty lobbies and try to figure out why nothing is working?
We take a handful of older games in the office and give them a whirl online, to see what's left of the original communities...

And the rest...7. BLITZ THE LEAGUE

We waited. And waited. No one plays Blitz The League anymore and after listening to the in-game nu-metal, we threw in the towel. Call the coroner. This one is dead.
8. DEAD OR ALIVE XTREME 2
RELEASED: November 2006
No one in the world is playing, so run your avatar around your desert island lobby, with nothing but the sound of the waves and your own tears breaking the lonely silence.
9. MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE
RELEASED: October 2006
Search for games. No games found. Would you like to create a match? Create match. Wait an hour. Alamann turns up, plays the first level with us, then quits. Bye, then.
10. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP SNOOKER 2007
RELEASED: December 2007
The lobby was set up and we were dozing off when a guy called JackalGiblets stumbled in. Bored into a stupor, we forgot how to start the match and JackalGiblets left in a huff seconds after entering. Then nothing.
