An anonymous reader writes "Ever since it launched the Xbox, Microsoft has had a fickle relationship with Windows as a gaming platform. On one hand PC gaming is a major driver of hardware and operating system sales, but on the other hand the PC is inherently less secure than the Xbox console, with piracy much more likely to impact sales of a PC title than a console one. Games for Windows Live has been an attempt to bring some of the success of Xbox Live to the PC, and while many games have shipped with support for Games for Windows Live, it hasn't exactly been a favorite of PC gamers. After all these half-hearted efforts, the last thing anyone expected was for Microsoft to announce new PC-only reboots of two classic game franchises, Flight Simulator and Age of Empires. But yesterday it did just that, announcing a massively multiplayer version of Age of Empires and a new Flight Simulator called Flight. The big question is whether Microsoft can make Games For Windows Live relevant in a market where Steam has taken hold, or if it's too late."pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgames.slashdot.org%2Fstory%2F10%2F08%2F19%2F0525243%2FMicrosoft-Reboots-Two-Classic-PC-Games" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Microsoft+Reboots+Two+Classic+PC+Games%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FbvVExB" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/08/19/0525243/Microsoft-Reboots-Two-Classic-PC-Games?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./piframe src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?op=discussamp;id=1758980amp;smallembed=1" style="height: 300px; width: 100%; border: none;"/iframeimg width='1' height='1' src='http://slashdot.feedsportal.com/c/32909/f/530758/s/ceda718/mf.gif' border='0'/ pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/m7Eqi19ATv-CO5rGHALFeic8KGA/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/m7Eqi19ATv-CO5rGHALFeic8KGA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/m7Eqi19ATv-CO5rGHALFeic8KGA/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/m7Eqi19ATv-CO5rGHALFeic8KGA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/gp4gw6uKYms" height="1" width="1"/

Spacezilla writes "EA is dropping the bomb on a number of their video game servers, shutting down the online fun for many of their Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3 games. Not only is the inclusion of PS3 and Xbox 360 titles odd, the date the games were released is even more surprising. Yes, Madden 07 and 08 are included in the shutdown... but Madden 09 on all consoles as well?"pa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/01/06/0456202/EA-Shutting-Down-Video-Game-Servers-Prematurely?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=10/01/06/0456202"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/10/01/06/0456202/EA-Shutting-Down-Video-Game-Servers-Prematurely?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/KB-ClT7eKST0M7_wUJz4P96nfkM/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/KB-ClT7eKST0M7_wUJz4P96nfkM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/KB-ClT7eKST0M7_wUJz4P96nfkM/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/KB-ClT7eKST0M7_wUJz4P96nfkM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/50RoWMHaV10" height="1" width="1"/

Sony does not plan to announce price cuts to its flagship PS3 (PlayStation 3) games console at Europe's biggest video games fair in Leipzig, Germany, next week, a company spokesman said on Friday. Cuts to the PlayStation 3's original high price have helped boost its fortunes in Sony's three-way battle with Microsoft and Nintendo in the global video game industry.
