New games for Windows 7….

Well, Windows XP games that got cut out of Vista that are returning. They are Internet Backgammon, Internet Checkers and Internet Spades.

As the names suggest they are online multiplayer. A very cool feature is that the computer will take over if a human opponent drops out. There’s no mention of how it will decide on the skill level. That could present a problem with the statistics tracker in the Games Explorer if the replacement is too good.

I love Checkers! it's awesome because of the online capability :)

There should be a ranking system for these internet games to make things more interesting. Please forward my suggestion

I think it is pretty cool that they are adding some new games. The standard minesweeper does get fairly old.

Lol Lets hope that they have chess still. Online chess is the best. Nothing like losing to someone in China xD

Backgammon, Checkers and Spades are boring games. I don't like them all. I wish Windows can offer new and more interesting games like war or racing games.
