I have some questions about gfwl, please answer them if you know the answer.
1 If I have an xbox account how do I sign in and earn achievements on 360 games?
2 Sacred 2 on PC has achievements can I earn them on my gamertag?
3 How and where do I shop the Games for Windows LIVE marketplace?
4 can I play xbox 360 arcade games on my pc?
5 How do I access my friends list on GFWL?
I really have looked around on the net but I can't get a clear answer for these questions so if you can please help. Thanks in advance.
Sorry question 1 should say with my 360 gamertag how do I sign in on pc and earn achievements on pc that link to my gamertag?
Thanks again.
While the interface is slightly different, the concept is the same, you can simply start a Games for Windows LIVE game, and use your existing GamerTag to log onto the LIVE network by pressing the [HOME] key on your keyboard, or the LIVE button on your 360 controller, and yes your GamerTag will keep track of both achievements from your 360 and your PC.
Yes.
You need the separate marketplace client HERE, although it isn't quite as robust as the 360 marketplace, yet.
Sorry, no, not at this time.
When in a game (must be playing a LIVE enabled game), press the [HOME] key on your keyboard, or if you are using the 360 controller, the same way you do on the 360, the big round X in the middle of your controller.
Right now you can only access your friends list in an actual game, to otherwise do it, you will need to log into www.livexbox.com to access who's online, messages etc.
And welcome to the community.
Rest in peace Dad, we'll all miss you.

ICptJackSparrow: 2 Sacred 2 on PC has achievements can I earn them on my gamertag? Yes.
Last time I checked that was only a Games for Windows title and not Live. Do not want this person coming back and questioning why he can not see achievements on his gamertag. To further his question it actully has to have on of the Live brandings to use the Live service for you to connect and collect achievements. The branding, along with other useful information can be found here. http://forums.gamesforwindows.com/p/5460/49425.aspx#49425
Another good catch Elite, as I don't play the game I mistook his question as him already knowing as to whether or not the game was indeed LIVE since he implied achievements. Bad on me, sorry all.
Obviously you can tell I've never played the game
At the very least it does apply to all LIVE games, your achievements will show up on your gamertag for PC and 360.
All good, it was an okay game which actully has a demo some where if I can find it again. It is basically a Diablo clone in its own little way.
Edit: That was quick

oh ok thanks.
the game doesnt have that :(
I haven't played it myself, but it got fair reviews by critics and players, not great, but fair. I eventually will get it, as I am a Wolverine fan, and there are so few decent super hero games that are decent.
