Windows 8 XBOX LIVE For Windows launch games list from MS

1 or 2 are decent most are garbage 1 is already out on PC (Blazblue) the rest are bizarre & show MS taking aim @ Steam & indies on PC & yep you need to have upgraded to Windows 8 so I guess that excludes most serious PC gamers time to buy some surplus Windows 7 copies I think as MS stop manufacturing that in October 2012 regardless of demand to force Windows 8 adoption

Yep you guessed it MS are also going to charge you for all 4 licences if you happen to own more than 1 Windows 8 device (Surface Tablet/Windows Phone/Laptop/PC) the game you buy will need a seperate licence for each device not quite sure why MS think its necessary to punish people this way as the gamertag logon system means only 1 device can be used at the same time but thats the licensing model 1 licence per device

Good luck with that MS your going to need it

Yeah, also you can still find quite a few matches online in the evenings. My son plays it with his 360 pad and does very well against keyboard/mouse players. Well I take it they are using keyboard/mouse. So this whole rubbish m$ say about keys/mouse having an advantage is a load of bull.

GOW on PC has been full of aimbotters for years I gave up on it long ago for online matches. The co-op & SP are both still excellent though. Tell your son to make sudden random movements it confuses the kb+mouse aim botters!
