Some interesting stuff coming up. I'm very much interested in “Borderlands” . Will probably buy DMC4 through steam if available. Mafia II i'm also interested in since the first was gutwrenchingly slow. And i will def be buying Project Orgin and Ghostbusters.
Speaking of Games for Windows Live. Are their any new GFWL games coming out? I haven't hated the Halo 2 and Shadowrun experiences (granted I got both for about $10/each), and I'm thinking of getting that petroglyph game for PC also. The only issue is that they really need to build Live into Windows or Messenger. It would be perfect as a Microsoft Widget or something.

I didnt know that the prequel (it is a prequel right?) to FEAR is being published by WB? hell I didnt know WB published games (actually I seem to remember something about that, but cant remember details now).
GFW = great
GFWL = why bother?

As someone said, it is a sequel to F.E.A.R. Monolith owns everything related to the IP (characters as well) except for the name F.E.A.R.
It's a little sad that more publishers/devs haven't been adding achievments to their PC games since the whole Games For Windows Live thing started. There's only a handful of PC of games that have them still, and most are 360 ports anyway.

I love both those games too...again, didn't pay much for them, but I love the integration and seeing what my "friends" are playing while I am playing on the PC.

Funny, I also got them for $10 each and enjoyed the PC ports. The PC versions of Universe at War, Kane & Lynch, Gears of War and Lost Planet: Extreme Condition - Colonies Edition all support Live as well. I don't know if there are any other coming out though.
For those of use who already have Live accounts with our 360, GFWL is a good value but I can understand why others wouldn't be interested.
