      I know this won't have achievements. GFW didn't always mean it had AP's. Dawn of War 2 is on the short list for AP PC games early this year.

        id like it a lot more if, for whatever reason, the GFWL interface didnt always think my mouse pointer was half an inch up and to the left of where it actually is... super irritating, and so far, its like that in all the GFWL games i have... does this happen to anyone else?
