Windows Phone7 将软件内容下注在自家的Xbox Live游戏服务上，力求将家用电玩主机Xbox 360上的成功经验完美移植到手机平台上。

微软一口气公布了超过60款WP7 Xbox Live手机游戏，其中包括《UNO》、《除暴战警 2: Project sunburn》、《吉他英雄 5》、《The Harvest》《Bejewed 2》等知名作品；游戏厂商则已囊括MGS(微软自己的工作室)、Gameloft(育碧软件)、Konami(科乐美)、Bandai(万代)、 PopCap(宝开)与THQ，相信不久将网罗更多知名游戏开发商。

总而言之，无论是对已有Xbox 360的用户还是其他热爱游戏的玩家來说，WP7强大的游戏功能都是充满吸引力的，可以做出流畅的游戏画面以及优秀的线上互动模式，算是合格的第一步；接下来，就要看看微软是否可以端出更精彩的菜色，比如把整个Arcade(街机)上的精品游戏和试玩DEMO也移植过来，或是考虑如何用手机与Xbox 360玩家进行互动。

The first tease of Xbox Live on Windows Phone 7 piqued my interest, sure. But after I had a little hands-on time with some of the games planned for launch, Microsoft’s officially got my undivided attention.

Microsoft’s trotting out over 50 titles today, all of which and more will be available by the time Windows Phone 7 devices go on sale this holiday season. When I spoke with Kevin Unangst—the company’s PC and mobile gaming big boss—he repeatedly mentioned that this list was just a taste. But even with more titles expected before launch, there’s already a lot to like here: casual favorites like Bejeweled and Oregon Trail, Xbox exclusive fare from the Halo and Crackdown franchises, three games with “Zombie” in the name. Good times.

How’s the interface? In a word: familiar. Once you tap on the Xbox Live tile, you’re met with what Matt saw when he took an in-depth tour Windows Phone 7. There’s your avatar waiting to greet you.

There’s the last achievement you unlocked, whether it was on your console or the phone. This is where you see game invites from friends, games you’ve downloaded. There’s a Spotlight area that wasn’t up and running yet on the handset I saw, but it serves the same purpose it does on your console. It’s Xbox Live on your phone, as promised.

There are also some clever ways Microsoft has optimized the experience for mobile. Your 3D avatar will get dizzy and fall down if you shake the phone, and if you unlock an avatar item on Xbox Live anywhere it’s usable on the phone. And your avatar can invade the rest of your phone, too, with Avatar Gadgets, which are simple productivity apps like a flashlight, coin toss, ruler, and leveler that your avatar interacts with on screen.

Every Xbox Live game on Windows Phone 7 has a 200 gamerscore, just like Xbox Live Arcade games, and will accrue to your overall gamerscore. That integrated experience is reflected in your Avatar as well: any customizations you make on the phone will be reflected immediately on the console, and vice versa.

There’s going to be a healthy mix of paid and free games, although every download includes a free trial mode (like in Xbox Live Arcade). Unangst wouldn’t comment on pricing beyond its being a tiered system. When you do buy a game, though, it won’t be with Xbox Live points—it’ll be cold hard cash through the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace or carrier billing.

Of course, none of this matters if the games suck. Which, happily, they most definitely don’t.

The titles I saw and got a chance to play with weren’t entirely finished, but they were in remarkably good shape given that we’re still a few months away from release. My overall impression is that the graphics were uniformly sharp, the game play crisp, and the extras—specifically, the achievements—really do help make Xbox Live stand out as a mobile experience. It’s far more iPhone than PSP, but there’s no shame in that. As for specific quick impressions。
