Microsoft is getting serious about on-demand Games For Windows, convincing publishers like Capcom, Rockstar, Ubisoft and others to bring their PC wares to Games on Demand “day-and-date” with their release in stores. There’s better news.
After a brief delay (and scary sounding update) in the flow of updates to Microsoft’s Game Room virtual arcade for Xbox 360 and Games For Windows, things appear to be officially hunky-dory.
The lack of true widescreen support in the recently released BioShock 2 isn’t the only shortcoming that has PC gamers steamed. The lack of gamepad support, including the Xbox 360 controller, isn’t sitting well with the typically keyboard-and-mouse loving crowd.
One of the biggest potential stumbling points for the 360′s (and PC’s!) Game Room – having to secure an endless stream of ESRB ratings – has been solved in a fairly unique way by Microsoft.
