Microsoft’s “Games For Windows” campaign has been launched with the excellent RTS Company of Heroes. In order to have the Games For Windows logo, a PC game must include widescreen support, support for 64-bit version of Windows XP and Vista and be able to use the Xbox360 controller. Furthermore, the game must be able to launch from Windows Media Center on HTPCs or equivalent.
Later this month, the oficial Games For Windows magazine will also launch, formery known as Computer Gaming World.

2Wow … it looks like MS is really committed to PC gaming these days. Wonder why the Mac commercials never talk about FUN stuff like gaming … hah Macs … Vista and PC gaming forever. No Halo 2 coming to the Mac so I guess Mac users will just have to have fun making photo abulms and the like. No thanks and no Mac for me.

3Windows vista is supposed to be all about gaming this time around.
I wonder if that will translate into lesser cpu, harddrive, and ram consumption by the ever doubling-in-system-needs windows, but I somehow doubt that hehe.
MS MUST DIE! Just .. be caaaauuse!
monopolies lead to stagnation in developments, and that’s never good.

4Thats why Vista minimum requirements are high. Its so u can keep up with PC gaming.

5I realllly don’t trust minimum requirements, since they always seem to be double as high:P
Anyway well see when it comes out. I look at my friends pcs.. and if blue smoke doesnt ruin them, and the gaming actually improves (which I strongly doubt)
then I’ll get it

6doom: I agree, minimum requirements are never what they should be, just look at the min req. for Windows Vista…
