In a massive lineup, they’d only taint the mix, but in GFW Live’s case, they’re massively staining it. Kane & Lynch, Shadowrun, Lost Planet, and Quantum of Solace. What’s more, several of those have been fairly mediocre, e.g. Since then the service has only accrued slightly more than a dozen Live-enabled titles.
What’s troubling is that GFW Live launched all the way back in mid-2007 with the belated Windows version of Halo 2. I’m talking about gaming “meta” layers like achievements, cross-platform interaction, personal gamer scores, and multiplayer matchmaking tools that actually improve your online experience (when they work properly, which they still sometimes don’t). That’s where Microsoft’s actually value-adding features, taking cues from its successful Xbox Live services and even interlinking the two where possible. What really makes or breaks the whole Games For Windows angle then, as far as I’m concerned, is its Live component.
