Microsoft Provides Preview Of Xbox Live Games On WP7

Windows Phone 7 (WP7) will debut this fall assuming that there are no delays and to build some hype for this mobile platform, Microsoft (MSFT) has offered up a preview list of Xbox Live games that will be available on WP7. The games include a number of familiar titles like Crackdown, Guitar Hero and Star Wars, but there are also some new game titles like ilomilo that have been developed in house by Microsoft Game Studios.

When WP7 goes live, it will do so with over 60 titles with games available for download onto the phone through Microsoft’s Xbox Live Marketplace. If this resource sounds familiar, it is because this is the same market that is utilized by Xbox 360 gamers. Microsoft has gone to great lengths to ensure that Xbox Live is completely integrated with WP7 and as such, you will be able to port your personal avatars from Xbox Live to your handheld device. In addition to this, you will also have the option to customize your avatar in terms of its clothing and accessories. Finally, all of your personal data such as friend lists, status updates and messages will also be available on your mobile phone.
