During this year's Consumer Electronics Show the Redmond giant announced that it has successfully signed up more than 60 titles from various developers for its Games for Windows program.

After one of gaming industry's most prolific years Microsoft is proud to deliver the message that a lot of developers and publishers have embraced its Games for Windows brand, launched two years ago with the purpose of reviving the ailing PC. More than 60 titles (already available in stores or about to be released this year) have been mentioned at CES, which is a phenomenal leapfrog since 2006 (when only 2 titles under the GfW logo came out).

Among the blockbuster titles already available for Windows Vista and XP are Crysis (EA/Crytek), Universe at War: Earth Assault (SEGA/Petroglyph), BioShock (2K Boston), Kane&Lynch: Dead Men (IO Interactive/Eidos), Hellgate: London (Namco Bandai/Flasghip Studios) and the multi-million seller Gears of War (Epic Games/Microsoft Game Studios). The list of upcoming titles includes :

Empire: Total War (SEGA)
LEGO Indiana Jones (LucasArts)
Microsoft Train Simulator 2 (Microsoft Game Studios)

"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."
