It really is sublime. Everything is so nice and fast.
I started off playing a bit of RS3, where at first I got killed loads of times. To get a feel for it online most of the time I just played sharpshooter matches. Great game offline, great game online. I even managed to kill a few myself.
Then for the next couple of hours I played PGR2. Wow. It really is immense. The numerous cars and tracks mean that every race is radically different from the last. I drove all around the world in one night, all from the comfort of my own chair.
The only ever so slight issue I have with PGR2 on Live is that so many other users just get the Enzo and stick with it for every race. Thankfully however I created my own match and spent around 5 happy rounds in Edinburgh using nothing fancier than a Renault Spider. With a couple of decent opponents it was the best racing I'd had.
All in all, I regret being so tight about ordering a router to get it all up and running. Stuff ICS, a router is easier. It just really was superb.
I only have PGR2 and RS3 at the moment, but I hope to pick up a few more Live games soon. Hopefully see some of you on then.
