    Windows Vista set to ship with uninspiring games. And it's supposed to revolutionise

    What pre-set desk-top games do we have to look forward to with Windows Vista?

    Check out the Headline for more info.

    Slow day Steven? lol...

    I think priorities for Vista should be building a *solid platform* for gaming - stability, security, speed and extensibility for the future. 'Wicked free games' are somewhere about 1,000,000,001 on my Vista wish-list.

    You guessed it! Nah, I'm working on a review and the game is so boring I had to have a break and a whine about anything.

    Seriously, you guys dissing these games don't know what you're talking about.

    Have you you not played the new Solitaire? It's AWESOME!

    Ahem.

    Incidentally, I got bored of chess titans very quickly...

    Yeah Steve, give us a review of all the games!


    My PC can't handle Vista so I can't comment on how good they are.

    How's Mahjong?

    If they have dropped Spider from Vista there really is no point in me installing it.

    Could be a blessing in diguise from other things i've read about Vists...

    If they dropped Solitaire, the world would descend into absolute chaos.

    No Pinball, no comment. Mind you, I was pissed off when they ditched Hover, so what do I know?
