Xbox Live Arcade games for PC, wha? Yes, this November Microsoft is rolling out a developer update for their “Games For Windows Live” brand, which will include support for Live Arcade titles.
The first titles are reportedly due out Holiday ‘07. No word yet on which games will make the jump from Xbox 360 to PC.
Hopefully this new update will allow developers to simultaneously release PC and Xbox 360 versions of Live Arcade games. And, I may be pushing it here, but games you buy should be cross compatible with Xbox 360 as well as the PC.

Yeah, you better not have to buy the same title for both services. That'd be crap- but I honestly don't think they'd do that; Microsoft is all about cross-compatibility 'n' such.
