Microsoft has informed Shacknews that Xbox Live Silver members will only have free multiplayer access to select cross-platform titles--Universe at War, Shadowrun and Lost Planet: Colonies Edition--until the next system update arrives this fall.

"For a limited time, we are offering free online multiplayer on Xbox 360/Games for Windows titles that offer LIVE cross platform play," a representative explained. "This promotion won't last, so we encourage everyone to take advantage of it while they can."

The representative concluded that, "When the new Xbox experience launches this fall all multiplayer gaming on Xbox 360 will be for Gold members only."

This started in conjunction with Live for the PC going free last week. I'm not sure how many people even have these titles though.
 
"select cross-platform titles"?

Aren't those the ONLY cross-platform titles at this time? Non of which are very good from what I hear. I've only tried a demo of Lost Planet and didn't care for it at all. Still, something is better than nothing.
 
yeah, the current ones aren't that great.

needed to make UT3, COD4, orange box, and others have cross-platform play. then it might actually mean something.
