REDMOND, Washington (March 14) - Video gamers who use PCs will soon have
access to some Xbox 360 titles, and in some cases will be able to
challenge opponents playing the same game on the Xbox console, Microsoft
said Wednesday.

The Redmond-based software maker's first move to broaden cross-platform
play is set for May 8, when Microsoft begins selling "Halo 2,"
originally designed as an Xbox game, for PCs running the new Vista
operating system.

In June, Microsoft said it will offer its own shoot-em-up game,
"Shadowrun," for PC and Xbox users, followed by a PC version of "Uno"
later this year.

PC gamers who play "Shadowrun" and "Uno" will be able to connect to both
Xbox and PC gamers using a service Microsoft calls Games for Windows -
Live, a parallel to an existing service for the Xbox community. Gamers
can create an identity, see which of their friends is online and invite
them to play games.
