I've tried it, but I'm not sold on it yet. I adore the principles that you listed, the technology just isn't where I would like it to be yet.

I don't think it's quite there for competitive multiplayer. But, I'm on a 5mb connection over wi-fi, and it's clean enough for me to play offline games. I'll be going back home next week, so I'll be able to try it on a (slightly) better connection.

I tried Assassin's Creed II on the WiFi connection available from my university, and I was quite surprised by how well it works. The problem for me is that the controls took a noticable hit and image consistency wasn't very good. It was certainly still playable, but I wouldn't trade my consoles or to-be highend PC for it.
