Oooh, I'll probably buy Fable. I love the first Fable.
Can't wait. So Death Rally will likely be the IoS remake, right? Just wondering cause the classic version is available for free at their website. If so, I'll buy that along with AW so I own all of Remedy's games on Steam <3.

How does AoE 3 compare to 2?

I own three games for GFW Marketplace and spent a total of 2.10$ for them. Viva Pinata, AoE III Complete, and Shadowrun. VP so worth it.

I'm going to bet it's going to be 50% during the winter sale which is what I'm waiting for the most.

King's Bounty: Armored Princess is really rather good just fyi
It really is. Scratches my Heroes of Might and Magic itch quite nicely.

From the demo I played I quite enjoyed it as well.
This? This?! THIS? MOTHER EFFING THIS? Somebody snag me Isamu's meds! THIS?! This turd of a game is when you finally decide to abandon GFWL for Steamworks? WHAT?!
I can only hope this is the end of their GFWL days. Because if that game is the sole exception, well, let's not even go there.
Hell yeah, I loved the first Fable.
It'll never happen, but what I wouldn't give for Forza.
Heck, I would have even kept my Amazon BF Gold Box 360 ticket if they allowed open USB. But to play Forza with a decent wheel would cost me 300 dollars. And that's not happening when I have a G27 that does the same exact thing.
Probably that Flight game.

So if it wasn't clear when Fable 3 went up it should definitely be clear now. Microsoft has given up on trying to take over the digital PC market.
Unknown title better be Viva Pinata or I'm gonna be pissed.
For now, at least. I can see them coming back full-force with Windows 8, can't wait to have the Xbox 360 experience on my PC!

I really hope microsoft gives us flight simulator.
Seems like Microsoft is throwing in the towel on trying to dominate stuff. iOS, Steam, etc.
Embrace it. Now turn all your hate towards EA.
Xbox 36C
I can see that. It just got ported to iOS.

I neeeeed Portal 2..... please be cheap at some point
It was $10ish during the autumn sale so I'd expect the same deal soon.

Nah... I am pretty sure the sale starts on the 19th and this is just some missunderstanding. Don't get your hopes up.

Fable 1 was not gfwl so do you think they will try and put it on when they release it on steam?

Definitely want Gears of War. I hope that comes to steam.

I know it's "only" 6 bucks, but that's 6 bucks that could be spent somewhere else.jim-jam bongs

If Microsoft really wants to start getting serious about GFWL on Steam then they should contact Valve about making the two services work in harmony. Even just things like having Steam download a signed patch which GFWL then installs to prevent the Games-For-Windows-Loop-of-Death from happening so often.
I've put about 100 hours into AP alone for what it's worth.

Pretty sure they are just gearing up for Windows 8.

Microsoft, could you guys just add ALL your Xbox and Xbox 360 games to the PC? Please?
I want Fable 1, 3, AND 2. Most of all I just want all the Halo's in HD and 60 FPS. ;_;
Hoping for a sale on Serious Sam 3, Anno 2070, Hard Reset, Portal 2, Deus Ex Missing Link on the Holiday Sale!
Have PM'd you an offer for it if you're interested

Yeah. I've got the feeling they're going to try turning Windows into a closed garden app architecture like the iOS. This is but a temporary truce before they come back bigger and harder.
yeah that'd be nice if they threw them on the pc.
i grabbed Halo 2 for pc off amazon a couple weeks ago. its a really nice port. 1080p/60fps/xbox gamepad support/ xbox live achievements/ an online community that still exsists.
was good for the $15 i spent on it.

I imagine they'll do the laziest thing possible and just release it as-is.
I'd like to play some Gears of War 3 on PC.

How does The Godfather 3 compare to 2 in the eyes of the purist?
There's your answer.
It's pretty good on its own terms, but nowhere near the brilliance of Age of Empires II. And I haven't actually seen Part 3 of the Godfather saga (just part 1 & 2) so don't argue with me!

That would be my bet. Microsoft really doesn't give a shit about PC gaming anymore so why would they actually do some work on an old game? Besides they're busy prepping to try the whole Xbox live on PC thing again when Windows 8 hits.
As far as I know, pretty much all the King's Bounty games are good. I love the music especially. Remember the Christmas sale is about to start though.
And regarding Halo, I haven't even played the Halo game(s) that ARE on PC, but I'd be happy to go through the singleplayer if they were. Am I the only person who is interested in Halo singleplayer because the story sounds interesting to me? XD

Oh they're good. Both PC releases they had play great too. I really hate that MS spews the bs that they care about PC gaming yet have half-assed handled their biggest franchise when it comes to the PC. I would really love to see them to a proper set of all of the 3 main games at least with online play and improved graphics such as those they used for Halo Anniversary on the Xbox. Sadly they never will. Hell we still haven't gotten Halo 3. They could at least freaking give us that.

Agreed. Got sucked into it big time, finished the normal difficulty at about 15 hours in.
Might even try out the nightmare difficulty after a while, too many games to play through right now!
Rodney McKay

Oooh, that one too.
I think I've gone 100% PC/Handheld gaming at this point. I only keep my 360 for my arcade games and a few retail games (Banjo, Halo 3, EDF2017). I can barely even stand going back to Halo Reach. On my monitor it's a blurry mess.
I was so sad to hear that Halo 4 was going to be made for the 360. At the very least just wait and put it on the next-gen Xbox. I loved how Halo 3 looked, but after ODST and Reach I have very little interest in how Halo 4 will look on the 360. Best case scenario they will Twilight Princess the game so that there will next-gen version of the game. Wait, no, BEST case scenario is they put it on PC.

pretty sure it went to 40% off during the Thanksgiving sale as well so I'd wait and see what happens during the Christmas sale
worse that'll happen is it'll be 40% off again
Since it's midweek madness so close to the wintersale I say slim to none. Will probably be a daily for 40% again.
