After a ten-year hiatus, Fallout 3 made its return to the PC today.   I’d like to congratulate the folks over at Bethesda.  After a decade, the bar was set pretty high, and they worked countless hours to make sure your expectations were exceeded.  Personally, I think the execution of this classic PC franchise could not have been better.  Fallout 3 is a blast, and if you enjoy it as much as I do (I’m betting you will), it will keep you glued to your PC.    

 

This is the first title to support Games for Windows – LIVE since we made it a free gaming service, and I can’t think of a better title to launch with.    As you will see soon, we have some exciting updates just around the corner.   Updates that we believe will help make your PC gaming experience even better, including a marketplace to let you download more content for your games, a completely redesigned in-game experience built just for the PC, and more.  These changes are the result of our focus in building a service PC gamers will love, and your input plays a big part.   We’ve been listening.

 

Speaking of listening, let me introduce Ryan Miller to you (although I see he's not shy and has already posted) – he’s the newest member of our Windows gaming team, and his sole purpose in life  is to listen and reach out to PC gaming community, and keep you up to speed on all the great things happening in Windows gaming no matter where they come from .   He’s going to echo your voice here at Microsoft.  He’s started a blog, http://socrossblog.com, so stop by and let him know what’s on your mind.   

 

Enjoy Fallout 3, and keep the feedback coming!
