        Everyone says this but it doesn't work. For me I had to wait 5 hours for Live to come back up before I could create an account and thus even start a save game. If I dared to attempt to create one it would get only so far and alt-tab out of itself to a database error. If i ignored it then the game would just ask me for a username and password, of which I didn't even have.
        
        If theres a local feature I'd like to see it. I'd play with my now created account (since it still seems to function even offline....albeit with gigantic "PLEASE LOGIN TO SAVE ACHIEVEMENT" prompts every step of the way) however I've heard constant complaints about losing one's saves once Live comes back and "syncs" with your offline data.
        
        Live for PC is broken. Thats just how it is.
