One of the main reasons why people stick with PCs and don’t switch to Macs is that there are a myriad of PC games out there to play. Redmond-based software giant Microsoft is aware of this fact and wants to enhance the user experience by making it easier for PC users to buy great PC games. Consequently Microsoft has announced the release of Games for Windows Marketplace. With this new PC game store, Microsoft has brought Games on Demand to the web.
