Perhaps realising it wasn’t exactly popular with gamers as a standalone marketplace, Microsoft recently decided to shift Games for Windows over to Xbox.com. That move has now taken place, and…it’s gone about as well as you’d expect from Microsoft and PC gaming.

Microsoft probably has many ideas on what constitutes the future of gaming on the PC. It’s too big a company not to. But this particular one is so horrible you may not want to even see it.
We already knew that Fable III is coming to the computer, but Microsoft wanted to put worrying minds to rest but showing the game off in action at the Consumer Electronics Show today.
Are you the preordering type? Those of you wanting to play F1 2010 on a PC might want to convert. It looks like the Steam version is currently (gasp) a normal international price.
