So I'm sure almost all of you were dying to try out some of these Xbox Live games MS has been boasting about for months. And now that we have them a seclection of launch titles at our fingertips I'm curious what everyone besides me thinks of them so far?
I personally downloaded each one as a trial first to get a sense of how the presentation of these games were, how responsive and intuitive the controls were and if they were really worth the $5-7 price tag.
In the end I removed a few and kept a handful which I felt were my best choices overall.
I selected my top choices as:
- de Blob Revolution
- Flight Control
- Max & The Magic Marker
- MONOPOLY
- Need for Speed Underground
- Rocket Riot
- The Harvest
- Twin Blades
- Unite (best free game)
Now I will say some of the games appear to be just ports from other phones, some appear to have slightly improved graphics while some seem the same as their HD2 version (Monopoly & Sims 3). I found the best looking games in the marketplace to be de Blob Revolution, Max & The Magic Marker and Rocket Riot. Twin Blades is great too but looks a little dull almost as if it's not meant to be played at 480x800.
What do you all think so far? Do you think the early batch of released games is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of the quality of games we'll be seeing or do you all think we're seeing the full potential of what it's capable of?
I am in no ways a fan on the iPhone but will say that in comparison of quality of games on the iOS they have some pretty ridiculous games. If anyone has seen the build quality of Rage HD on iPhone it makes me cross my fingers that WP7 is capable of the same if not better.
However I've seen screen shots and footage of the upcoming game Ilomilo and it looks like it should show some better potential for much better looking games.
I wish they would make monopoly free.
However, with Xbox Live coming to our smartphones now, the possibilities are endless, especially with WP7. So I think games like Assassins Creed and Need for Speed make other platforms look so outdated.
In recent news, I heard Google Android is getting a bit intimidated by the WP7 update coming in January.
WP7 FOR LYFE!!!!!
WE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Multiplayer support, MS needs it now. I am not asking for anything real time but games like UNO or Monopoly should at least have turn by turn multiplayer. I feel that a platform based on XBOX Live should at the minimum have turn by turn.
I agree with you both. Other OS's are looking outdated (except for the iOS).. However I'm hoping that WP7 will be able to compete soon with the visual quality of iOS games. I don't know if it's hardware limitations that's holding WP7 back on this one but they need to step it up to truly compete.
And yes MS does need to impliment true XBOX Live multiplayer into their games ASAP. I recalled the iOS having some games that you could actually play multiplayer via bluetooth I believe. I mean if you can do it on the PSP you should be able to do it here. Local multiplayer via wi-fi, turn based on the same device is mandatory, and even some other kind of true Xbox Live experience is a must.

Well it is currently their claim to fame, I would at least like to see it used. As far as visual quality check out ilomilo. These phones can pump out some nice graphics but its up to us to make this platform successful enough to pull in these developers.
I believe most of these developers already recognize the ease of use as far as developing games and apps for wp7. In a recent article, developers voiced out about wp7's flexibility and how using VB has made it very easy for them to build and deploy apps.
And BTW, there are compatibility issues using VB 2010 for development. You have the option to build your own app.

Maybe it's not available in your region. I'm in Canada and it's one of the 1st games that show up in the Xbox Marketplace.
Other OS look outdated? Android has the same assassins creed HD and has for months and has a beta port of rage HD up that easily rivals iOS. I have an HD7 and love the phone and cant wait for it to evolve in terms of games but if you think this is top-o-the line stuff then you're in for a pleasant suprise when they decide to catch up

Interesting, didn't know they had Rage HD for Android or that it was capable of a game like that..
strictly beta for the time being but I've seen it played on a captivate firsthand and its epic... In all actuality theres a few android phones that just kick the iphones hardware in the teeth. Itards just wont admit that we got something better at a lower price...

True it is Just like AT&T users get a free download of that great looking game Ilomilo and it only shows up in their marketplace but if others look for it there's nothing there.
I think there's a way to trick your phone and change regions to access apps from other countries by changing the country under Settings then Region and Language. But I could be wrong..

I hear you on Ilomilo, I remembering emailing the devs before launch and asking them whether the app was going to be exclusive to at&t phones only or time exclusive and was told no. Then a few days later their site says its a timed exclusive. I was pretty peed off, he was nice about it and said he didn't know until last minute. Such a lovely game though.
I am not sure if there is an existing thread similar to this. If there is, please feel free to remove this one.
I thought it would be nice for members to share the Apps that they are using and review them. I would start off with the ones I'm sporting in my device.
My Apps:
Amazon.com (It is what it says)
Associated Press (AP nice start, needs a lot improvement)
Bank of America (Must have if you bank with them)
Cocktail Flow (I can make any cocktail, thanks for this app)
eBay
ESPN Score Center (A must have if you follow any sports)
Flixster (I LOVE this app, prefer this over IMDB)
Google Serach (Not a big fan. Bing is just fine)
Grupon
History Here (Very useful if you want to know what is around)
Home Depot (Just for the heck of it)
Huffington Post (Needs a LOT of work)
KBB.com (Well, does what it is suppose to)
My Stocks (The BEST stocks app ever)
Prime TV (Good to keep track of your shows)
Realtor.com (Perfect if you want to check out the real estate prices)
Shazam (A must have)
Tag Reader (Never used it)
The Daily Show (I'm a fan of this show, not everyone might like it)
USA Today (First News app that took advantage of the Metro UI)
XDA-Developers (Needs a lot of performance tweaks)
My Games:
Assassin's Creed
Fruit Ninja
Full House Poker
Need For Speed: Undercover
Pocket God (I did not like this game very kiddish)
Raise Of Glory
UNO
I would Love to have a good Weather App. I currently use the HTC one, but I'm not really that happy with it. Any recommendations...

Hairstyles ? A Great app to style your hair either your male and female.. with hundreds of hairstyles to see how you would look like in real life with long and short and style hairstyles. Remember no cartoonist look hairstyles.
So does WP7 offer all of these apps too? or could it be under a similar name perhaps ? help me find out and let us know exactly the name so i can type it in the app store. All of these apps are what i enjoy in the apple store apps.
I would be so disapointed if wp7 doesnt even offer any of that. I wonder why.
By the way as i add more and more apps on my phone just where all the apps are.... it builds up alot and i have to scroll all the way down and down to find the app i want to use.... i wish this phone HTC HD7 would have them sorted in small icons just like iphone so i dont have to scroll one line all the way down to find it.
thanks love
best regards
@ SandraX2020
Looks like you already own a HD7 from two posts above. So why don't you check yourself if the listed Apps are available in the Market place.
I did not hear/see most of the apps you listed. But I'm sure MS will catch up soon enough. iPhone and Apple and the developers had 4 years to have the number of apps they have now in the market place.
Where as in less than 7 months, WP7 has over 17,000 apps. I'm sure in no time we would have all of them if not more. So, tight until then.

I can not simply believe enough how all of the apps names ive meantion obove this in this colon list and yet you say there is 15,000 apps on the qp7 and non of the apps ive meantion are not available or doesnt exsist on wp7 between the 15,000 apps thats available there.
These apps are on itunes and on android. I can not imagine more how wp7 doesnt have these apps at all. Sounds like wp7 15,000 apps are more useless apps and basic apps and nothing more then lots of apps design for other countrys. Most of the apps you find will be useless to use it in other countries....
I give you an example. you find lots of apps in relation to the the train metros... your not seriously going to download on of these if your living in a country nwith no train stations around your state. Then again all the 15,000 apps may as well be just useless apps. 80% from all i can see.
I just cant believe all the name apps ive meantion are not available. Considering there is 15,000 apps.
Then whats all this 15,000 apps? doesnt look like there is really 15,000 apps.
When i click SOCIAL i keep on scrolling it down and down and down i go.... and the further you go down and down as you scroll the page there is just 80% useless apps and not very interesting or no one using it to beging with.
But if you keep scrolling and look at all the scroll you did on the SOCIAL apps areas it sure doesnt look there isnt enough.. looks like there was only just 200 apps in there.. Yet interesting 15,000 apps on wp7 all of its content ? interesting.
Anyways WP7 marketplace should wake up and do something decent. It is lacking. I heard friends where i do go to california that wp7 is slowly dyeing from all they are concern about. And wont be popular until 3 years time.

You say there is 15,000 apps on wp7 ? And yet all of the 8 or 10 apps ive meantions are not available on wp7 ? well that is odd because you would think 15,000 apps would be value apps to beging with. And after all of the 10 apps ive meantion obove are available on itunes and android.
Then again im starting to notice and realise all of the most 15,000 apps available on wp7 marketplace is useless. Well not useless but what i meant was that most of them are not really design to help you with things because most of these apps are like for other countries or local other countries needs.. like for example india radio... or canadian radio or stuff for thier locals.
Surely in my state we dont really listern to indian channels or canadian channels or thier local tram timetable apps... well wp7 is like that really.
It is a shame because 15,000 and counting is just crab apps most of it.
I also notice as i browse quite alot.. that there isn';t much ratings on apps and most ratings are on the top list apps... but if you keep on browing down and down the apps page... no one really have rated anything on all apps. only just the most important stuff that are more value that is rated.
Again there is 1.6 million users around the world who just brought an HTC HD7 cellphone. And yet you would have thought 1.6 million users would half of them all would of rate lots of apps to beging with ?
Then i did some analys and notice that 80% of all these people in the 1.6 million users who now own a htc hd7 was that everyone was mainly downloading the GAME store and that everyone was more focus on the GAME section game then anything other then just games on the Xbox game area.
I am not a game person but i used to when i was in my 20s. Know days what i like it good intertainment and intersting apps.
Believe it or not i downloaded 3 apps and in just 3 days later ive deleted it because one of them was a social chat and no one is in it... the second app was find me on wp7 around the globe and notice in my state no one is using this app... So it is a pain killer till its dorm.
So WP7 been out aproximate 7 or so months now. And allready owns 15,000 apps and continuing.
Yet like i said in my experience of using the marketplace is that 80% of it all is crab apps because most of the apps are only more related to a specified country like singapore tram app... or the local tv guide in china.. But these things are useless in other countries. And most apps are like that.
I also notice 60% of the most apps ive encounterd and looked t are quite boring and theres nothing interesting or nice with its graphics... because most of it is just basic writen words and nothing. Its like reading a book with nothing to make it stand out.
So why is wp7 marketplace so bad ? I spoken to my old fellow friends in New orleans and they told me you shoudn't have gone with wp7 because wp7 is dying down.
Mainly wp7 phones are mainly design if you only care about just games
And that its not like what you think as in android or itunes
So to finish it up i say wp7 is crab and bad and nothing excitement out of it.
Know i am thinking of soon to buy a tablet 10.1 screen with built in android. However installing android on the htc hd7 will be not so good if you ever try to uninstall something importnantly.
Itys interesting how itunes and android has all the apps im more interesting. Yet wp7 there is upsolutely no apps that i like which seems strange. Only the app i own is the world radio live. But the rest is again useless. So why with 15,000 and counting apps on wp7 marketplace doesnt have the apps ive named as meantion obove ? which is odd.
I bet all the apps in there wp7 is crab. or at least 80% of it is useless and again apps cost alot on there too
What it is more interesting is the games that wp7 offers... just the games... nothing els.
Not everyone is into games. Think about it.

Sounds like a flaming fanboy to me... If you dont like WP7 the DONT BUY WP7... It is as simple as that...
Well, I have to agree... At the moment WP7 is simply not the best choice unless you are a gamer. Games are awesome under WP7 thanks to XBOX Live. With android you have a bunch of free useful apps as well as great paid apps and is a growing platform with a huge future in the smartphone & tablet market with Android 3. Now with iOS, you have a bunch of slave apps hanging around iTunes and a phone with no battery to swap and no SD slot. Just telling the truth, don't get me wrong. I have a Jailbroken iPhone 3GS, an HTC HD7 chevron unlocked and a rooted HTC Inspire 4G with mike's 1986 Revolution ROM. So I have all 3 OS and in my opinion, Android is by far the best, Apple in 2nd place, and in a distant, very distant 3rd place is WP7. And again I have not one but 2 HD2 (both with custom roms) and was the owner of the HTC Tilt 1 & 2. So I am also a huge fan of windows mobile 6.x. etc... but reality is reality. And WP7 is at this precise moment still in pampers. Hope the mango update really delivers not some but many new features like multitasking as well as many others. (Hotspot, usb tethering) Flash should be priority one too, so at least they have something that iOS still don't have. Anyway, isn't this a post about new homebrew apps for WP7? LOL... take care everyone!

I'm looking for apps/games that can be played cross platform with an IOS device. Since a friend as an iPhone I was wondering if there are any apps that could do this?
Words With Friends- off the top of my head. Of course the Android version is the red-headed step child of the favored (by Zanga) almighty iDevice version. They don't even offer a paid version for Android version so we get bloated up with ads.
I'll be following this thread too as I would like to see/learn about more cross platform MP games.
I think one or more of the MMO's available is multiplatform. But who wants to play one of those?
Correction on Words With Friends- they do now offer an ad-free version but you have to buy "Zynga points" or some silliness with your credit card, in-app- meaning, you cannot download a paid ad-free app from any app market- unlike the iVersion.
HomerunBattle 3D is one that works for sure (online matchups) as for multiplayer lan games I'd think all the gameloft games that have mp (asphalt,uno,...) should work just fine.
The muffin Knight. Never tried cross platform but it claims to work. Not the best game ever but might be fun for you.

Agreed, make sure the youtube links work. As they say, A picture is worth a thousand words so a video must be worth a million.
I use that site to check out achivements after I beat a story, There is always a video to show the easiest way to get it.
I got the video link to work in the application bar. So it will open the YouTube page of the video. I'm looking how to just implement the video to have no need to open the page and just watch the video. But with my programming knowledge, who know how long it will take.

Is it beta worthy ? I would love to check it out even it works partly. I found myself last night on trueachivements and xbox360achievements for about 2-3 hours to get another 175 achivement points
And yes, I have been addicted to achievements all of a sudden...
I look forward to this one...
I haven't released, because I'm only have Max Payne 3 and GOW1 implemented. If you want m to add a game that you working on right now, let me know via pm and I will add it and give you the app for now.

Games that I would want for at least for next month or so...
-Spec Ops: THe Line
-MW3
-MW2
-Black Ops
-Need for Speed Hot Pursit
-Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (yea, I know, older game)
-Forsa 4
These are the games in my current stack, last night, another 115 points on MW3 and Started BLOPS on Veteran for the achievements, Spec Ops should be here today, so that will be tonights game. And most Wp7 games...
For the last week, I have had a Mini Laptop (one of those netbooks) with me when I play, on one of the sites to go through each achievement one by one...
Do you have to do each game, or are you pulling data, so you can access their index ? What would really be cool, is if you can use trueachievements.com, as they pull your data from xbox live and will show each achievement you got and what ones you missed with tips and videos for each game.

XAP Beta added to the first post.
I know your new at programming, I have been trying to learn too, I want to get there (got any advice ?). It would be great if you could find a way to index these sites and pull down the data directly from the xbox360achievements so you dont have to update it for every game.
The app looks good so far, just dont you, in time, getting board with it and not updating it (did not mean any offiense, life gets in the way), it also would make it easier, as you could update the app and not have to worry about adding every game, one by one...
I know what you mean, im just don't know how to do it at the moment. I'm trying to look how to do it but keep failing to find out. If anyone here can give me an advice it would be nice. Atleats what the process to learn.

A little practice, Try to find out what type of fourms they use there and then see if there is a way you can use that. Anyone who does a plugin of that type is based off the type of fourm they use.
And when it comes to computers, your always learning...
I'm on Vacation for a week, so no new apps (or achievements !!)for me..
I think im going to have to stop this project, because I can't get no permission to use the info from the website I used.

It's too bad. I used it and tried to give it a shot but, with out the updated posts and content from the sites (with only one video), I found myself still sitting infront of my TV with a laptop to help get those achievements.
If you got permission from the websites and could index the posts with the links to the videos for each achievement, this would be great but, with out that it does not help too much and puts a high level of work for you.
Great idea though...good luck. I wish it worked out, I really do as this is something I would use....
I got 1500INR (~$25) Microsoft gift card with Lumia 1320 that expires within 2 months.
=============================================================
Also I got these games free:
Asphalt 7: Heat
Modern Combat 4
N.O.V.A. 3
Order & Chaos
Shark Dash
Earthworm Jim
Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles
Let's Golf 2
Brain Challenge HD
Asphalt 8: Airborne (already free)
=============================================================
What are the best apps+games that I should purchase?
Currently I have WP8 and about in a month I will get WP8.1 so please suggest accordingly. for example: file manager will be included in WP8.1 so I guess no need to purchase one.
Also I have free version of Moliplayer from China store, so I guess no need to purchase a media player too.

if u like 3rd person brainless shooter, try halo i am also using collector as substitute for flipboard, which does not exist for wp (news). files is good file manager (free and no adds). mytube is imo best youtube client...
I already have NOVA 3 and Modern Comabt 4 for free, Halo is also similar type so I don't want that for now.
I got mytube for free few days back
Many Xbox games were also free in past few days, I missed those :/
I have free newshunt app which enough newspapers everyday.
Suggest more.
Thanks

Lol... You already have most of wp apps and games ?
Maybe ios or android phone as 2nd device?
heehee
1 device is enough for me, its as big as 2
I have used android a bit in the past, and my brother has ios.
I still have 25$ to spend on store. I wish I could get a memory card, cover or something else for that.
I'm thinking of getting a photoshop, though i'm not much of a photographer, but it will stay with me forever in future too when I switch to som eother windows phone, right?
