Morning Discussion

Jul 23, 2008 5:48am CST
Good morning Shackers, get your morning tea and crumpets yet? Microsoft apparently wasn't showing all their cards at E3, with the announcement that Games for Windows Live will be fully free. Why? Check out our interview with Microsoft. And Community Games are coming to the 360, we've got pricing details and more here.

Gametap announced yesterday that they're adding THQ games to the service so if you're like me and haven't gotten your Company of Heroes fix then there you go. Plus, if you haven't picked up a Classic Controller for the Wii, today may be your last legal day. But on a more positive note, we have air guitars and prize winners!
