Games On Demand for Games For Windows Live launches [Update]

As promised. Microsoft has launched its Games On Demand features for its Games For Windows Live service, allowing people to download and purchase a selection of full games from the Games For Windows Live client. The full games that are currently available at Fallout 3, Dirt 2, Street Fighter IV, Viva Pinata (for $9.99), Kane and Lynch: Dead Men, Shadowrun (for $9.99) and Red Faction: Guerrilla.

So far, the selection of titles lacks some games that Microsoft said would also be available. That includes Games for Windows Live enabled versions of indie games World of Goo and Osmos. The free game Tinker is also absent from the list.

Update: The new 3.2 update of the Games For Windows Live client is now available for automatic download. Also new full games have been added to the Games On Demand list like Section 8, Resident Evil 5, Battlestations Pacific, Fuel, and Juiced 2. Also the free game Tinker is now available to download.

It is annoying how this site usually have hyperlinks to the site tags instead of the web pages the articles refers to. On every other news site, the hyperlinks in an article usually link to the reference articles. Users are more likely going to want to go to the reference article, than to snoop around within site tags.

There is already a tags section at the end of of every article, please don't put tag links inside the actual articles anymore. I don't know if this is just your way of generating more traffic to your web site (have people roam around and see more of this site), but please stop. I hop someone from BigDownload reads this.Posted at 2:53PM on Dec 15th 2009 by Unknown

PS. CLICK THE SOURCE BUTTON.

While I agree regarding hyperlinks to tagged posts, its every week or so now where someone complains about not having links to whatever sited sources. Even though there is a damn button saying "Source" in the bottom left hand corner, on all the Joystiq/Fanboy websites.

Also, nice way to put a suggestion Crunch Jingles. Way to further the stereotypical post of a gaming site, and completely shoot your own words in the foot.Posted at 1:51AM on Dec 16th 2009 by sicsided
