Yeah UT3 sucked compared to the past games, not surprised it sold so bad TBH.
No Gears of War 2 on PC

I'd wager more that the PC Games market is in sharp decline and the high street won't waste shelf space they can use for games formats that do sell.
I doubt it'll come out for pc.
Firstly because of the really awful sales that Gears 1 had for the PC
Secondly because of the problems they had on release (the stuttering and crashing) which needed numerous updates to fix them - that was probably a reeeeal pita especially considering they will have been working on gears 2 at the time!

Some people are forgetting you could still play online over Live on PCs even with the subscription model, I seriously doubt sales of the first game were affected just because it lower than usual amount of dedicated servers. PC Live Gold becoming free really aren't going to make a difference.
Live for windows has been a complete bomb ever since they launched it with the mighty [sarcasm] halo 2. Nobody is interested in it and most PC gamers just seem to find it annoying.
i can see Live for windows being wrapped up within the next year. Has it not only had like 3 games released on it so far?
Yeah Games for Windows Live is pretty much pointless, I mean PC games (half decent ones) have always had fairly good multiplayer clients and with the likes of Steam about it's not really needed.
Though, it's pretty cool to link your achievements from PC games with your 360 Gamertag, only about 4 games use this though.
Edit: HOWEVER, Games for Windows is good so don't get the two mixed up!
This is Games for Windows

The PC version was outsourced to some Polish developer who could not even get the save system working properly so for some that meant you lost all your saves and no way to get them back because of Games For Windows Live (Gold level is free now for PC).
I reckon when he says no GOW2 PC he means no GOW2 in 2008!!

I still don't know where I can even get Windows Live
Its built into vista and i think XP had a hidden update or sommat along those lines. Basically, it's there, you just won't see it until you launch a games for windows live game.
Oh and, the gears of war port was done by epic themselves.

First one was rubbish, no loss.

I thought Gears of War PC was by Epic on a new version of the engine? :|

People Can Fly did the PC port. Epic have now bought them it seems they must be blind as the PC version still contains show stopping bugs like the save games going missing which forced a lot of people to play the game from scratch again as no way to use someone elses save games easily. This happened to me after reaching the last boss battle!!
