Xbox hit Mark of the Ninja is coming to Steam, without Games for Windows Live

Comment
Mark of the Ninja was released on consoles last month. Since then, everyone I know who owns an Xbox has been raving about it. It's an exceptionally stylish 2D platforming stealth game where you sneak or slaughter your way through the levels. As a ninja, you've got some useful tools and abilities: the usual stabby swords and knives, but also shuriken and smoke bombs. It's right up our/your street. Well, now it's coming to Steam and the PC.

The news comes via Rock Paper Shotgun, who report that the Lead Designer of the Mark of the Ninja, Nels Anderson, stated “I’m primarily a PC person myself, and I’m not okay in any way with this feeling like a shoddy port.”That means no Games for Windows Live support. Steam all the way, baby. Woo, etc.  

There’s no release date at this point.  Here's the trailer.
