Any word or website on games scheduled to be released after Vista offical
release and designed specifically for Vista?

And I am not asking about Solitare here...
and...
I do understand I am asking about information that is hard to find given
that the gaming industry usually doesnt give pre-release information out that
often.

I doubt there is such a site unless someone familiar with Vista has made it.
Such a list could cover almost countless games from almost as many game
manufacturers.
Try going to the sites that make the games you like and see what they have
to say about Vista and their games.

Halo 2 is being written specifically for Vista. Much to the upset of a lot
of the Halo PC community who say they can't afford it/won't get it, etc....

And there's offcourse the very first announced Vista-only game 'Crysis'

I assume you're referring to DirectX 10 based games? Or would games that
work on XP but take advantage of some elements of Vista in other ways count
too?

Microsoft is using Halo 2 as an example of Vista gaming, it will be using
DirectX 10.

Actually, accoring to a PCgamer article, Halo 2 for the PC is actually a DX9
game. Bottom left of page 51, tells the story

"Because it looks so nice at this high resolution people assume [Hal0 2] is
a DX10 game, but actually, it's not, I think DX 9 still has some life in it,
as far as or game is concerned"
