The following list of games will be available when Windows Phone 7 launches.
Personally I like Crackdown 2: Project Sunburst, which is a towerdefense game built on top of Bing Maps.

An anonymous tipster sent the pic above to pocketnow, and he/she claims that it is how Sense UI will look on Windows Phone 7.
Microsoft has previously stated that UI customization can’t be done in any other way than by customizing the way tiles look in WP7. In the picture above you can see the clock with Sense, and also the weather tile in a Sense flavor. Keep in mind that this is just a rumor, and for instance the star-fog on the right side doesn’t look that professional. Also the background color on the clock tile is a little bit off.

Greg Sullivan, senior product manager at Microsoft, confirmed these partners in an interview with Pocket-Lint. Good to see that basically every Windows Mobile 6 manufacturer is in the game.
