Default Midtown Madness 3 and Halo 2

Are there any plans to release either of these games to the PC Gaming market?
As a PC Gamer, I would hope the answer is YES, as the PC gaming market is
just as viable as any other. And, I have no plans to buy an X-Box (a waste
of money when I spend 300 bucks on a top quality video card, have the latest
in processor and motherboard technology). When MM3 was released to X-Box
only, I was very disappointed because I had been waiting for a new version
for the PC for some time. Please do no overlook the PC gamers and their need
for quality games.

We went through a dry spell, due to MS focus on the X-Box, but here's good news:

Microsoft has an 18-month drive to establish Games For Windows as a platform with the credibility of PlayStation and Xbox, ahead of
the launch of the Vista operating system.

"It's our biggest ever investment in Windows gaming," said product manager Kelly Stanmore. "The Windows business is down 10 per cent
year-on-year and we've lost shelves of space. We're killing off that community without the retail support."

Microsoft has neglected PC gamers as it pushed forward with Xbox, but the advent of 360 will mark a defining moment for its gaming
ambitions.

"We're putting the 'game' back in Windows," explained group manager Chris Do nohue. "We're over the hump with Xbox 360 so now ready
to build Windows as a platform."
