A couple weeks ago, we took an exhaustive look at Vista gaming by installing over 25 popular titles to see which ones work and which ones don't. Overall, we're pretty impressed with the results. Most games work on Vista just fine, at least as well as they work in Windows XP. There are a few oddities with regards to some games and services not showing up in the Games Explorer, and a gotcha here and there (most of which can be solved by choosing to run the application as administrator). On the whole, while Vista is going through the normal teething pains of a new OS, the games compatibility thing seems like a non-issue for most people.
