Nine New Games for Windows
Here’s Microsoft’s press release regarding new Games for Windows Titles: Games for Windows truly thrived in 2007. We went from two titles in 2006 to a continually growing portfolio of over 60 titles here at CES 2008,” said Kevin Unangst, senior global director of Games for Windows in the Entertainment and Devices Division at Microsoft. “We delivered on our promise one year ago to reinvigorate the PC gaming space and bring the best portfolio of games to Windows. And this is just the beginning. With our partners, we will continue to drive the resurgence of Windows-based gaming.”
The full list of new GFW games includes:
• “Alone in the Dark” (Atari)
• “Bionic Commando” (Capcom)
• “Conflict: Denied Ops” (Eidos Interactive)
• “Empire: Total War” (SEGA)
• “LEGO Indiana Jones” (LucasArts)
• “Microsoft Train Simulator 2″ (Microsoft Game Studios)
• “Sins of a Solar Empire” (Stardock)
• “Space Siege” (SEGA)
• “Tomb Raider: Underworld” (Eidos Interactive)
The release also went on to point out that the casual games industry generated $2.25 billion in revenue last year and has a projected increase of 20 percent. I wonder if that now includes the Wii? Hit the jump for the full release.

They all look like console ports that would probably play better on the consoles to me.

Do you seriously think that Crysis would stay exclusive?

i think when money talks, exclusivity goes out of the window. so id have to say a sarcastic “yeaaahhhh….”
But ill believe it when they do it. sure they can port crysis but if it doesnt look as good as the original might as well change its title…
WHeee crysis on the DS, me so giddy
