The page has since been edited, but this was up for a while. Good riddance (although I do have some gfwl stuff to finish first. Arkham city has a severely broken save system that doesn't even function if you're not signed in.. Sigh...)

I'm pretty sure Bioshock 2 requires this. As in, it refuses to save games locally whatsoever. Count me in the "going to be pissed" category, especially since I just picked it up during the Steam sale (don't know why I never got around to it before...)

No idea if this will work after they kill the service, but i'm definitely going to try doing this on all my GFWL games.

How to save progress in BioShock 2 with Games for Windows Live offline profile

BioShock 2 is a GFWL (Games For Windows Live) branded game. As some of you might already know, saves in most such games are managed by the GFWL system itself and you usually need to be logged into a Live profile to save/load in-game progress. But what if you aren’t connected to internet all the time, don’t have an online GFWL account or if you don’t want to be logged into GFWL for some other reason? Don’t worry – this doesn't mean you can’t save progress. With the use of an Windows live offline account, you’ll be able to save/load just fine. Obviously, it doesn't require an internet connection to create or log into one.

Launch the game. Open the Windows Live menu.
If you are already logged onto a profile (local or online), sign out (Create profile button will only become visible when you aren’t logged into anything)
Click on ‘Create new profile’ button.
In the dialog box that pops up DO NOT hit continue. Hitting continue will take you to a registration page for an ONLINE profile – that’s not what we want.
Once in the ‘Create Gamer Profile’ window, scroll down so that you can see the bottom paragraph.
Look for the hyperlinked ‘created a local profile’ link in last paragraph. Clicking this will allow you to create a new offline profile.
The method above will work with any game based on GFWL 3.1.
