Microsoft is celebrating the second anniversary of the Games for Windows initiative this month with the news that Grand Theft Auto IV will debut on the PC this November exclusively as a Games for Windows-branded title. Microsoft promises a revitalized Games for Windows – LIVE experience, including expanded online matches, DirectX 10 graphics, and new LIVE features such as a redesigned game interface, out-of-game client and marketplace.
In addition to Grand Theft Auto IV, several titles will take advantage of Games for Windows – LIVE, including Fallout 3, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II and James Bond: Quantum of Solace.
