So, Windows Phone 7 has hit, and it's somewhat less functional in terms of its OS features than some wish it were. However, it does have one strength that none of the other platforms share. Gaming, and gaming integrated into Live. The launch line up is here and some exciting new games are on the way.
Thus far, I have played the following:
Flowers - It's free, it's a puzzle game, you place flowers, they match, they disappear. Sometimes they grow new flowers. It's worth the time to download.
Twin Blades - A side scrolling slash-em up with RPG elements. The gameplay thus far isn't the best thing since sliced eyeballs. It is however quite beautiful to look at.
Star Wars: Battlefront: The Battle for Hoth - A tower defense game where things get hurt and die, I'm yet to figure out if you can repair buildings. The cut scenes in between levels look fantastic on my screen.
The Revenants: Corridor of Souls - Weird game, make a little sparkle swish around enemies so they fall down the black hole it creates. I'm not sure how I feel about it. A bit eh.
The Harvest - real time RPG, sci fi, has a story. This is my current pick for the best launch title.
Upcoming games which excite me:
Crackdown - Crackdown's WP7 iteration will be a slightly unorthodox tower defense game set within the Crackdown city. Colour me intrigued.
Puzzle Quest 2 - it's Puzzle Quest, on your phone, with a razzle and a dazzle.
Hopefully, I'll update the OP with more meaningful content as time permits. Pics et al. Lists of things to which we should look forward.

I heard about something like this. Crazy. I wonder how this will work out. Will it be worthwhile or a gimmick of sorts.
WIll it inspire me to move to a more defensible neighborhood?
Thanks Microsoft, that's a helpful system.
