CES 2007: Gaming on Windows Vista |
Ó
Gametactics reports that Microsoft featured in the CES games that allowed for interaction across Windows Vista and the Xbox 360. The first wave of Live titles that had such cross-platform capabilities included Microsoft Game Studios' Shadowrun and Mattel's UNO. The Live gaming and entertainment network will enable gamers to interact only across both of Microsoft's gaming platforms. Other titles for Windows Vista to have Live support include Halo 2.
They also marketed Windows Vista as an opportune platform for casual gamers. They cite Luxor 2 for Windows Vista, Crystal Quest for Windows Vista, and the ever popular Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved as example of their push to further cement Windows Vista as a good platform for casual gaming.
