Microsoft has today confirmed a raft of AAA and casual games set to hit the Windows Vista platform and the Games for Windows brand in the coming year.

Making the announcement from Las Vegas at CES 2007, Microsoft re-confirmed that 'Shadowrun' and 'UNO' would spearhead a cross-platform community between PC and Xbox 360 gamers, with casual gaming also getting a Vista overhaul.
