Engadget managed to get a hands on of a couple of Windows Phone 7 games built with XNA Game Studio 4.0. Although they weren’t allowed to take any video of the games in action, they said it did work, including unlocking achievements. The more impressive of the two was a top down sci-fi looking dungeon crawler called The Harvest, running at the full 800×480 Windows Phone 7 resolution. The other is called Battle Punks and is a one-on-one fighting game.

They did get some video of the Indiana Jones game designed under the earlier 3.1 version of XNA, and demonstrated testing via Visual Studio (running on an Acer convertible tablet) of both the phone and full Xbox 360 version. You can catch the video
