Help with playing games with friends?

Post by trueBlue »

I want to help my girlfriend's 12 year old play a game with his friend that lives locally for free.
Ideas? How to(s)? Games? He likes Minecraft on his Xbox 360 but we do not want to have to pay.

You can't spend $19 buying a used copy of Minecraft from Gamestop?

Are you suggesting to by the PC version of Minecraft?
I guess there is no other way except paying for a Xbox Live subscription.

Yeah, if all you've got is an Xbox you'll be better off going for a PC version of Minecraft because the Xbox live subscription is (as far as I know) the only way to play multiplayer games.
Well there is always split-screen, do modern games even still have that on consoles? I've never owned a game console in my life so I have no idea.
