It has since been confirmed that all cross platform games are able to used online by Silver members, these games include Shadowrun, Universe at War, and Lost Planet: Colonies Edition. Microsoft has confirmed to Shacknews that the current free to play situation for these games will no longer exist after the next dashboard update suggesting that this was not intentional and it is a bug that they intend to fix.
