Games for Windows Live update 3.1 released

gamesforwindowslivelogo

Just in case you were unaware, Microsoft’s updated Games for Windows Live with some cosmetic changes.

Along with a change to the download system, it has a redesigned marketplace and game pages are more detailed – making it feel more like XBL Marketplace.

There is also a new top sellers box on the homepage so you can see what is popular at the moment, along with DirectX 11 support for future titles and a few bug fixes.

You can get the download by logging into GFW, or though the official website.

I’m glad they are updating this fabulous piece of software so we can have problem-free access to all the 3 items on this supposed “marketplace” – Thank you Microsoft and thank you for creating such an equal and viable alternative to the 360 version of “live”, right here on my PC.

“I hear the chrome OS will suppurt pc gaming”

They said eventually that is the long term goal but they want to see how it fares with the netbooks that the OS is offered with.

I would rather buy goodle chrome if it supports pc gaming than microsoft.

If pc gamers can support a company like invida we can support a company like chrome too.

But Nvidia are responsible for the PS3′s graphics chip, clearly they can’t be trusted.

Tell me more about these new companies, Goodle and Invidia. Are they Chinese knock-offs?

They are the Chinese version. tenth the price and can only play sprites on the pc. Those are for the true PC gamers.

microsoft is pretty cheap these days too. I wouldn’t be suprised if they used the Chinese to make windows 7.

I was reading the Destructoid post Sterling did about PC gamers and was browsing the comments section when I saw

“this article was made by a dumb console noob. lets start with some facts.

Pc gaming has the must games ever. Yea that is right pc gamers we have alot more choice in games.

Here is a little proof…”

and a whole list of links underneath it. And I thought “Huh, this sounds somewhat familiar. Sounds like dreamhunk.”

*Checked the comment author”

“Wait a minute, it IS dreamhunk, lol!

Whatever you say about him, he’s certainly got his own writing style. :P
