Technically none but Halo 2 and Shadowrunare only supported on Vista. It cannot be played online with XP.

BioShock can be played on both XP and Vista. I think someone finally got Halo 2 working on XP as well.

HALO, or as some prefer to refer to it as "Halo 1", is playable on XP. It's HALO2 you got to keep your eye on, it needs vista.;)

thats a good point, the vista esclusives, I found, to be overated. They are a waste of our precious cash.

Shadowrun and Halo 2...both can be hacked with a crack to run udner Xp though. Honestly i'm not disappointed with Vista i'm disappointed with MS support of Windows as a gaming platform. They give no incentive for promoting cross platform play (ie: $50 for the live service). Which i find to be atrocious as i want to play Shadowrun with my 360 friends but whenever i play i keep thinking, it takes $100 for me to play this game...WTF. Halo 2 i think was actually worth the $35 i spent on it. If anything blame MS for hardly pushing Windows as aplatform for why Vista sucks for gaming right now.

I believe Shadowrun and Halo 2 are the only Vista exclusives out at the minute (and only so because of that Games For Windows Live crap M$ are running). But I believe they have both already been hacked to work on XP.
