I don't plan to create a new account for my PC games, so having to add friends that I'll be playing Dawn of War 2 with to the same list that I use for all of my Xbox 360 games is a bit annoying. In my case, there is a nice overlap between those people, but there's no way that's going to be the case for everyone.

I've only played a handful of online games, and those are mostly against the PC – Windows Live is essentially ruining the experience for me. Finding a game is a real pain – I'm a PC gamer – so I have a Steam Friends list, NOT a Windows Live friends list. Its a PITA to get my friends name and attempt to arrange games over Windows Live – its trash.

I know its a beta, but I doubt they are going to rework the UI for the online component – ie; when you create a game, once inside, it doesn't tell you the name – if your chatting with someone on Steam, you might forget. Its just bad UI design.

Anyways, enough complaining – good write up – maybe I'll see you online!

FOR THE EMPEROR! heh
