The ultimate expressions of this will to win are the official online tournaments available through Xbox Live.They offer legitimacy (and sometimes prizes) to your need to prove yourself, and give you the ultimate bragging rights over your fellow Xbox Live players when you win. The thrill isn't in a particular tournament, but in Just around the corner This opens the door for tournaments focused on a more social and creative angle.
