AnimalMother117: Well, I'm pretty sure I've listed them before, but it is worth repeating:

Dungeon Siege 1 (I know this belongs to Square, but still.)
Age of Empires series
Age of Mythology (The real one not the remake, they seem to have changed the art style.)
Hey, why not dream, let's have Halo 1&2 on here, not that they were wonderful games or anything. (Actually, I paid a lot of money for Halo, I'd probably not buy it on here.)
Mech Warrior/Commander series (Unless it changed hands again, which it probably has.)
Gears of War
Crimson Skies
Close Combat series (I think Microsoft had something to do with that.)
Flight Simulator
Combat Flight Simulator
Rise of Nations series
I guess their attempt at ruining Shadowrun for completion's sake.
Maybe PC ports of classic Rare games like Conker's and Banjo.

Microsoft used to be so big in the PC games industry, then they seemingly just decided to quit (after unsuccessfully trying to force Windows Vista on everyone). So sad.
Microsoft is going to be developing and releasing video games for sale for PC again. Microsoft said that they will most likely release every single Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One exclusive video game for sale on PC on Steam and possibly gog.com. I think it's because Steam is so huge on the PC right now.

At a Microsoft conference call they were playing Halo 4 ported to the PC to show off what their Azure cloud dedicated servers can do. No Halo 4 was not developed or ported to run on Azure it was ported to PC upgraded to run on PC and then showed off what Azure can do.

Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, and Halo 3 were leaked in 2013 in the Steamdb registry. Halo 3 does not have a PC version yet but it's rumored to be coming to Steam for sale with Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2.

tinyE: Screw it....I'm reinstalling. I don't care how clunky it is! :D
The first one?
That game had the fastest pedestrians I've ever seen.

Also the best sound in the world must be crashing through the windows in that one building and hearing your car reverberate inside the building as you speed through it... Atleast if my memory serves me right.

foxworks: I could go for some Freelancer

tinyE: LOVE Freelancer.
It's not everyone's favorite but I lost a year of my life to that game and it's not really that hard.
Amazingly, navigating with a mouse wasn't all that bad.

I don't know about #1 but #2 was designed so that you could only just miss the peds which yes, made them the fastest people on the planet. :P

And the animations just became ridiculous when you unlocked the faster cars.

Motocross Madness was also a great Microsoft game, can't believe how many hours I've spent in those huge desert maps.

Probably all of those '* Madness' games really hit the spot because they had simple concepts and tight controls.
OK, people, this has been said before, but GOG doesn't have an agreement/a contract with Microsoft.

Microsoft was responsible for the Xbox version, apparently the rights to the PC version are owned by Clymax, at least for the version sold here on GOG.

So, it's not "more" MS games on GOG, just plain old Microsoft games on GOG.

I'd certainly welcome and [url=http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/outwars]Outwars.

Outwars was a really fun game! What was Hellbender like?

IronArcturus: was a really fun game! What was Hellbender like? <a href="http://www.gog.com/forum/general_archive/more_microsoft_games_on_gog/post22" class="link_arrow"></a></div> Hellbender was a 3D spaceship shooter/flight sim of sorts, in the veins of [url=http://www.mobygames.com/game/terminal-velocity]Terminal Velocity and Fury3 (all of them developed by Terminal Reality).

The game was really fun, I first played it via a demo that came with my Windows 95 showcase CD. Your ship's computer, E.V.E., was voiced by Gillian Anderson, which I thought was "so rad", since at the time I was a major X-Files geek. :P
Nice! Fury 3 was a really fun game. So was Hellbender a sequel to Fury 3?

According to Moby Games, it would seem so. Back then I only knew they were similar. LOL!

IronArcturus: According to MobyGames, Urban Assault was developed by a company called "TerraTools."
Yeah, as far as I know that company basically became Radon Labs later on (Wikipedia actually lists Urban Assault as one of Radon Labs' games). Anyway, it was a German studio, God knows how Urban Assault ended up being published by Microsoft. I'm wondering whether Microsoft actually owns the rights or they maybe ended up at another German party.
"More"...?

As far as we know, they don't even have a deal with Micro$oft yet. Gog says Climax Group is the publisher of Sudeki!

Agreed! Motocross Madness was really great.

Speaking of Microsoft, does anyone remember a game called Impossible Creatures? If so, was it any good? I don't remember anything :/

Yeah I remember it. Was developed by Relic, the guys who made Homeworld and Dawn of War. Dawn of War is actually based on the engine that Impossible Creatures ran on. Sadly I only got to play the demo but it was pretty awesome. As I recall a bit steampunkish.

Interesting! I've never heard of "Radon Labs" before. But I still hope to see Urban Assault on GOG someday. I've only played a demo of that game many years ago.
