Other big titles in stock include "Grand Theft Auto III," and "Max Payne" from Rockstar Games and "Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition" from Square Enix.

Games for Windows Marketplace will also host indie games too.

Like Steam, users will be able to access the store at anytime to buy games, or download them again if need be. Special deals will be launched to attract gamers to the service - such as weekly or seasonal deals.

"The Games for Windows Marketplace will offer PC gamers a robust lineup of games they love, easier navigation and purchase, and recurring specials such as Deal of the Week," Microsoft said.

It will launch on November 15 at www.gamesforwindows.com
