Gaming Hotness for Windows Vista

As the holidays approach and you find yourself with a little extra time to kill (who am I kidding??), check out one of the ~750 Games for Windows kiosks placed at local GameStop stores. The kiosks show off some pretty impressive games for PCs that will look downright spectacular on Windows Vista using DX10. I took a photo of one of them placed on display here in MS' Building 3:

You can expect stores like Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Circuit City and others to have re-branded Games for Windows sections following Windows Vista's retail general availability.

Also, drop by the Games for Windows site to find out about the latest in gaming on Windows (it's a pretty cool site).

This past weekend I happened to stop by a Best Buy and caught a display of new Games for Windows that have been just released. You can view our original announcement of these new Games for Windows at the Microsoft Press Pass.

I happened to snap the photo below with my Windows Mobile 5.0 phone (please excuse the blurriness).

This is what a couple of the games look like "out in the wild," in case you need help making an ID. From what I hear Flight Simulator X is absolutely stunning -- I cannot wait to get my hands on it :)
