Multiplayer games? I am (read: was) really good at MotoGP for Xbox. By really good, I mean I was ranked #8 when the game became glitched and all of the top players, including myself, stopped playing. That's the last game I really played competitively.

I also played Ghost Recon (the original) religiously, and was pretty good at it. The team I played for did very well. The original SOCOM was another game I was absurdly good at. However, I stopped playing before scoreboards even worked, so I can't tell you how I compared.

Currently, the only game I'm really good at is Call of Duty 4, and I argue that's just because everyone else sucks. But in the 7 days of gameplay I've put in (6 during Xmas break, barely touch it except between semesters), I completely dominate almost every game I'm in. I've managed to lead rooms playing only with claymores. It's sad, but I picked it up a couple weeks ago and still led the rooms. That's why I think other people just suck.

However, aside from MotoGP, the games I am really good at are single player. Crazy Taxi mini-games were always a specialty of mine, still hold a world record in one of those, and close to most. I also am ranked 2nd, last time I checked, in 18 Wheeler. Played Monkey Ball Banana Blitz too much for my own good, and was ranked 2nd when I stopped playing. Still believe I'm in the top 5 despite new players having the benefit of watching all of our old techniques.
