Microsoft announces Games for Windows Marketplace

Microsoft wants to target the greatest service about purchasing online games, Steam. With the name of Games For Windows Marketplace, the intent is the same: create an online store for players to have easy access to games for sale.


Access to Microsoft's online store is online and fully browser-based, so everyone can access it whenever they want, from anywhere. With an account on Xbox, Zune or Windows ID you can join the Marketplace and the gamers community.


The store will support Microsoft Points, as well as credit cards. Must also have a servers optimization so that the download speed is the best. Practicality is also a privileged service, so that players can buy with a few clicks. The search is fast and easy, you can filter titles  by genre to find content easily. 

 

Once it launches, the service  will have one hundred major titles. The site  offer for sale many games of big companies like Microsoft Game Studios, 2K Games, Capcom, Rockstar, Square Enix and Warner Brothers. Besides the huge amount of games available with good prices, a weekly offer (Deal of the Week ) should give the guys a good time.


Several games were cited as being available in store in the press release from Microsoft: Fable: The Lost Chapters, Grand Theft Auto III, Lego Universe, CarneyVale, Dead Rising 2, Lost Planet 2, Max Payne, Deus Ex, Flight Simulator Gears of War , Halo, Zoo Tycoon, Fable III, Age of Empires Online and Microsoft Flight.
