I was wondering if we could start to compile a list of Games that work on
Windows Vista... As this would make it easier for many of us..

I have.

Zoo Tycoon 2*
Half-Life 2*
Civilization 4*
Battlefield 2
Rise of Legends
Quake III Arena***
Unreal Tournament 2003***
Oblivion
Morrowind
Black and White 2
Warcraft 3**
World of Warcraft
Halo
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfigher
Sim City 4*
Guild Wars
Call of Duty 2
FEAR

*Problems, on my setup I had to run them into a window first to prevent them
from crashing, I'm assuming a video driver bug not letting them pick up
resolution details. Others have mentioned lowering the desktop resolution
to the same as their default start-up resolution resolves it too.

**Works fine with retail version, but latest patch breaks sound.

***Mouse acceleration seems to be turned on.

That's the list so far. 8-)

Add Final Fantasy XI. I confirmed an earlier post about installing it in
Vista. Works great ^_^

Starcraft is running good but patches need to be run as administrator
otherwise you'll get an error.
