Kotaku's title is a bit misleading. I thought Microsoft announced nine new games for Windows. :)
i told you guys it's all about the os they don't care about the 360 it's just a way to get games on windows that's the big picture
Only a few titles there that i want and ill be picking them up for the console not PC. PC is FPS land for me.
This is great news for PC gaming and the Games For Windows initiative, with this powerful momentum of games helping to drive Games For Windows in 2008 I have no doubt that PC gaming will still continue to provide quality and alternative gaming experiences from the consoles
what are you some mechanical robot programmed to type out phrases straight from M$ press conferences? i think the "sony fandroid" responses are programmed too- you always say basically the same thing every time
a little heads up M$ your little zhukbot isn't working, its just putting people off the 360
This is not good initiative from Windows, consumers can now see the drastic lean away from the Xbox system and back to their software roots. The hardcore 360 gamers are again being ducked and left out in the New year cold. In the months ahead, look for more backdowns by Microsoft to avoid going head to head with the Sony war machine, the PS3. I guess its back to the drawing board for the MS console division, maybe in 2009 they will show more innovation and initiative with an improved console. In the mean time, consumers are bounced from format to console to PC like a tennis ball. Only the consumer has no chance of defeating MS and is left with empty pockets and a broken heart........
At the German Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany, Microsoft announced that Ubisoft was the latest to join the Games for Windows branding program. The first title Ubisoft will deliver is "The Settlers: Rise of an Empire."
The Montreuil, France-based company joins other publishing powerhouses such as 2K Games, Activision Inc., Atari Inc., EA Partners, LucasArts, Microsoft Game Studios, Midway Home Entertainment Inc., and SEGA by committing to ship select titles under the Games for Windows brand. With the addition of Ubisoft, Microsoft now has the support of the majority of top games publishers around the world to provide consumers with amazing Windows gaming experiences.
