Welcome to CHEAP, our series about things that are good, but most of all, cheap. CHEAP!

Gaming is cool. You get to lose yourself in finely crafted worlds, tax your brain solving complex puzzles, or just spend your time blasting the shit out of computerized chumps. But as fun as playing video games by yourself is, the true joy comes from multiplayer sessions.

In the old days you would’ve had to get a whole load of people round to someone’s house to play together, but those times are over. What are you? A pre-teen again? No, these days we have something far better than going outside and travelling: the internet.

Thanks to the power of the online world, you can now play with your friends, enemies, and acquaintances from the comfort of your own sofa. But, if you’ve got a console — specifically an Xbox 360 or an Xbox One — you’re gonna need something: a subscription to Xbox Live.
