I am wondering if games made for Windows XP will be compatible for Windows
Vista.

Depends, the majority of most games that were designed for Windows XP will
run just fine on Windows Vista. Some of course will possibly require
updating also, it depends on the platform you plan on running the game on,
if you decide to run it on Windows Vista x64, then you might possibly run
into compatibility problems. You also have the option of running in
compatibility mode. But its best you get in contact with the developer of
your favorite games about compatibility with Windows Vista.

Dan;
Probably yes, but there are always exceptions.
Contact the game manufacturer for details on Vista compatibility with their
product.
If you have specific games in mind, post the titles here and someone may be
able to confirm whether the game works their Vista build.
In any event, what works today, may not on the release version and vice
versa.

Hey Dan,
yeah the vast majority should still work fine, there are also Windows 98/ME,
2000, XPSP2 and Server 2003 compatability modes to help with the few that
dont.

Eventhough it's no guarantee, you could post the games you are interested in
and who knows a person with access to that game and Vista might test it for
you...
So if you have any games at all you are interested in - just ask
In addition to the above you can surely contact the game vendor directly and
see what they say. A lot of game manufacturers have already comitted to
Windows Vista (no surprised) when it is final - so don't expect support for
Vista related questions untill it has gone gold / RTM. Hence my initial
offer of asking the community
Hope this helps.
With kind regards,
