Default Vista Games

Thought I’d also share some of the new games in Vista.

First is Chess Titans. It’s 3D Chess. Yay! Then there’s something called Purple Place which is actually three different games. It’s more for kids I suppose since it looks pretty childish. One is a memory game, another where you have to add the toppings to desserts as they go down a conveyer belt, and the last is like a Mr. Potato Head type thing.

Easily the most addictive game on Vista is Ink Ball. The goal is to just get the colored balls in the right colored hole using a pen (haha). The lines and dots you draw with the pen deflect the balls. It’s damn near impossible on Expert, but it's actually pretty fun. I like it.

And there Texas Hold ‘Em which is a Vista Ultimate free download. Pretty run of the mill, nothing fancy. No online option yet. I could critique it much more but it’s free and not too bad. I like this one also.

Several of the other classic card games you’d expect as well as minesweeper are included in Vista also. They just got a face lift for the most part so I left ‘em out.

Vista business has them, you just have to enable them, there is a link out there somewhere telling you how.

And Inkball is crazy fun.

There is your link telling you how, tricky MS, disabling it.

I can't wait to upgrade to Vista, but I gotta get a e6600 before.
