Relic's RTS game Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War II was the number two Games For Windows Live Games title while Bethesda Softworks' Fallout 3 was number three.

Unsurprisingly, this list of games is exactly the same list of games that require GFWL, in order of popularity. Duh... 99% of users of GFWL (myself included) wouldn't use it if given a choice.
Steam, Direct2Drive, etc have a purpose. GFWL does not. Forcing me to install GFWL on a retail or Steam/D2D game in order to play singleplayer (Fallout3, GTA IV) is annoying.
Game devs and publishers take note: majority of PC gamers HATE using GFWL. Don't force it upon them.Posted at 9:04AM on Jan 12th 2010 by Cornelius
