To get Games on Demand, you need download the Games for Windows — LIVE client.

Batman: Arkham Asylum was 75% off this past weekend, but I just found out about the sale.  I look forward to taking advantage of the upcoming sales.  :)

Street Fighter IV is now 50% off.

A little disappointing.  I have no desire to buy SP4 when Super Street Fighter IV is right around the corner.    :(

Maybe next week's deal will be better.   I'm hoping for Lost Planet.  :)

So far these "deals" have failed to blow my skirt up.

I can buy Kane & Lynch from NewEgg.com for $5 (delivered and literally half the price), new in a box, without all of the redtape attached to a digital copy.

I was really excited about picking up some cheap GFW titles to get me back into PC gaming.  Microsoft has one more sale (March 26th) to make me a customer.  If not, I'm just going to buy physical copies from bargain bins.   :P

Really...I couldn't get into it.  The SP has some interesting features but was too short and the MP was complete garbage.

Well I coop'd through the single player, which can make just about anything pretty fun I guess. As for the MP, I thought it was a pretty nifty idea. I loved turning on my team mates and all the tension that created.

Of course, as any of you who have ever played with me on a Friday Game Night can attest, I love to turn on my team mates no matter what game we are playing. :-*

GTA IV is now 50% off ($14.99 / £9.73).

Pretty slick deal, especially since "Episodes" is now available for the PC version as well.

I got this from Morrisons for £9.99 good value for money . Although maybe it wasn't because I havn't played it on the pc yet :)
