Games For Windows Live gets games on demand

Microsoft has provided a major update for it's Games For Windows Live system, adding a new Games On Demand marketplace that lets users download whole games for a fee.

The new marketplace requires an update to use and only carries GFWL-branded titles, which can be paid with either by credit card or with Microsoft points.

As part of an introductory offer Microsoft is offering 50 percent off of Shadowrun and a free copy of Tinker, which had previously been released with Windows Vista Ultimate. Not exactly the best offers in the world, but it's something.
