Yeah... could be a sign of things to come though. [/wishful thinking]
Oh, you can also play Universe At War.
EDIT: Thank you Forcen, changed first post.
Only three games are now playable by Xbox Live Silvers:
- Shadowrun
- Universe at War: Earth Assault
- Lost Planet: Colonies
They had to do this because it wouldn't make sense to make people pay to play it on the 360 and not on Windows.
It's only for some games, and at this point, which games? Two? :S
Oh yeah, and it's limited time only, if it wasn't already lame enough. >:(

We should know how Microsoft does things by now.. its just business! :P
"Now that I look at it, the title is somewhat misleading. :]Agreed - this really isn't massive news. Although providing a glimmer of hope that XBL may be moving to a free system, I doubt it will be happening anytime soon.
