Can I play online games with WildBlue Internet service?

Satellite transmissions have an issue called "latency", which greatly affects online real-time game play.  The end result is that you will have to wait longer than your opponent for data to get back to you via the WildBlue satellite.  Games negatively affected are CounterStrike, Quake, and Halo style games.  Games such as WarCraft, StarCraft and Diablo will work fine as long as you are playing one-on-one.  Online casino and card games should be fine as well.
