If you're on a network you don't really need a firewall, the router should act as one. I have Comodo firewall, but only use it at school/public places, at home I have it off (due to router; if plugged directly to modem, of course I have it on).

As neontiger said, routers have inbuilt firewalls, and when you are gaming online, you can turn any firewall software you have off, which is what i recommend doing, the chances of you getting a virus through online play are tiny.
