GTA IV PC Is Coming To Games For Windows Live
Slightly disappointing! Rockstar and Microsoft have today announced that the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV will be running exclusively under the Games for Windows banner. So, yeah, if you want to play multiplayer, the fact Microsoft throw the word "exclusively" around suggests you'll have to use GFW Live's sub-par system. Granted, GTA IV's release will coincide with a range of updates for GFW Live, including a new interface and the yet-to-be-named marketplace, but you'll excuse us if we take a minute to stare at the "G" section of the Steam games list, think of what could have been and sigh, just a little.

Help Give Games For Windows Live's Client A Less Sucky Name
When Microsoft made Games For Windows - LIVE (ungh) free back in July, they also announced the impending arrival of a standalone client that'll act as a marketplace for the service. Something to manage your downloads, transactions, that kind of thing. That service needs a name, and in an attempt at giving it one that doesn't suck as hard as Games For Windows - LIVE (ungh) does, they're turning the naming process over to you, Joe Public. Their "helpful" suggestions include such gems as "Games for Windows – LIVE Dashboard" (ungh) and "Games for Windows – LIVE Client" (double up ungh ungh), but surely you can do better. Losing the Games For Windows - LIVE bit would be a start. You'd then have to move onto giving it a name that actually sums up what the client's doing. And no, you can't use Steam. Can't use Steam - LIVE either, you cheeky sod. More » -

How Long Til We Get XBLA Games On PC?
As can be witnessed by their decision to, after only a year, cut their losses and start offering the service for free, Microsoft's Games for Windows Live initiative hasn't exactly set the world on fire. But just because it hasn't, doesn't mean that it can't. What could help spice things up a little? How about, oh, the ability to play XBLA games on both your 360 and PC? Would that help? It's something Microsoft are obviously thinking about, because after being asked about the subject by 1UP's Shawn Elliot, Microsoft's Kevin Unangst replies: More » -

GFW Live 1.2 On The Way
This November, Games for Windows Live takes yet another step in becoming a viable online gaming service still not worth $50 a year to PC gamers.

Our goal is to deliver new and exciting experiences for Windows gamers, while maintaining the unique PC gaming environment we love.
Last I checked, the unique PC gaming environment I loved was free, but maybe that's just me. Edit: For those arguing in the comments section, click here for details on the difference between Gold and Silver (non-paying) accounts. More » -
