Play Xbox/PSP/XBox360 games online without X-Live:
XLink Kai support XBox360 with games that support system link connections.
If you dont want to spring the 50 beans a year which is a total scam then
check this network out. These types of networks work by running a client
on your PC and having them look to an XBox on your local network as another
XBox. You connect to it via ethernet layer 2 and then the PC client jumps
to layer 3 and connects out to the internet to get you players to play
against. As of this post here is their network stats:
Users Online : 1354, Server Status: Online, Supported Games: 214
And yes, Halo 2 is supported and works on XBox360.

Ultimate Boot CD for Windows UBCD4Win:
Finally after years of not easy or simple boot solutions for corrupted
windows systems, UBCD4Win is here.
This utility is packed with many utilities required to repair, restore or
diagnose your Windows system. There are many times you will boot your
system and it just throws a blue screen (BSOD) and you cannot access
windows to repair the problem. It gets you up with network access so you
can transfer in/out files also once loaded, which is huge.
Some of the utilities included in this ISO are:
Anti-virus software
CD Burn Apps
Disk Tooks (copy, image, cloning, etc)
Defrag
Diagnostic (disk error checking, partition management)
Security (secure erase)
Compression (7-Zip, IZArc)
Explorers (a43, Agent Ransack, ExplorerXP, etc)
Recovery (repair damaged files)
Malware (AdAware, etc)
Network (putty, netstumbler, etc)
Password (cmos, KeyFinderPE, etc)
Registry (RegEditPE, etc)
And many more utilities included in this very useful utility. This
is a MUST HAVE.
