New games available on Games For Windows Live's Games On Demand

Microsoft's Games for Windows Live client only launched support for purchasing and downloading full games last December. Since then updates to the games list have been few and far between. Today, however, Microsoft added a number of new and older games that can be purchased from the Games For Windows Live client software.

Among the games now available are Assassin's Creed 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, Max Payne 2, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, Borderlands, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl and Microsoft's own Age of Empires III. Games For Windows Live also has the new Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands available for purchase and download. Finally two older games in the series, The Sands of Time and The Warrior Within, are available for download. Both are also on sale for just $2.49 each, a 75 percent price cut, until Monday, June 14. Microsoft claims they will have day-and-date releases of other upcoming new PC games on Games for Windows Live and they will have over 100 games to download by year's end.

Gears of War will never come to digital distribution will it? :(Posted at 2:31PM on Jun 8th 2010 by Jose

Well... GOOD! MS has been ignoring the PC because it doesn't bring in money for them while Valve has been making $$$ hand over fist with Steam. Competition is good for everyone and hopefully this will lead to MS seeing profitability and a renewed interest in PC games.

I used GFW's Games on Demand service when they had their Batman Arkham Asylum sale at Christmastime and everything actually worked like it should have, a far cry from when GFW first launched.Posted at 4:29PM on Jun 8th 2010 by lokar82

Also, any chance you can replace that header pic in the future?

That is the old version of the client, and the new version adds some features users might find useful. So a more recent screenshot might just be in order.
