no silver you can only download new levels, modes etc.

you need a gold subscription to play games.

Silver comes with the more expensive package...

Xbox Live Silver membership: Price: free
This allows members to connect to the online community and create their own digital identity with an Xbox Live gamertag and personalized Gamer Profile. Xbox Live Silver members will be able to send and receive text and voice messages and join their friends on Xbox Live.

Xbox Live Marketplace is the one-stop download center for additional game-related content like free trailers and demos as well as content that adds more to games, such as new levels, characters and weapons. Gamers can also purchase and download fun, casual and highly addictive Xbox Live Arcade games directly to their Xbox 360 system (additional fees may apply; hard drive or memory unit required for downloads).

Xbox Live Gold membership
Subscriptions: 12 months (Price: £39.99), 3 Month (Price: £14.99), 1 month (Price: £4.99) plus subscription cards at retail and available through the Xbox Live Dashboard (via credit card)

This includes all Xbox Live Silver-level features and access to premium multiplayer experiences exclusive to Xbox Live Gold members. This includes online multiplayer gaming, enhanced matchmaking and feedback tools, along with exclusive privileges and rewards on Xbox Live Marketplace.

Credit cards will no longer be required to create an account on Xbox Live for Xbox 360, removing one of the biggest barriers to entry. Gamers can purchase 12-month Xbox Live subscription cards via cash or other payment methods at any participating retail store. Subscriptions will also be available for purchase by credit card in one-month, three-month and 12-month increments through the Xbox Live Dashboard

I'm pretty sure that the silver service allows you to play multiplayer games online ...

Gold just lets you do more...

The new version of Xbox Live will be much more robust allowing gamers to video chat with the 360’s optional camera, weed out annoying people from online play and feature an online marketplace that will allow you to download new game trailers and demos and purchase new content.

Xbox Live will come in two flavors. All 360’s will come with Xbox Live Silver for free, while Xbox Live Gold will require a subscription. (Your current Xbox Live subscription will transfer over seamlessly.)

Silver will let you play games online on weekends, but not during the week and will let you track and chat with friends online. You can also access a marketplace to purchase games and download demos through the Silver edition.

But if you want to play online all of the time and make use of Live’s new intelligent matchmaking you will need to subscribe to Gold.
Both versions will also support a more robust set of parental controls that will allow you to manage friends lists, file sharing and marketplace purchases.
