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 So I think games like Assassins Creed and Need for Speed make other platforms look so outdated.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 Other OS's are looking outdated (except for the iOS)..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...

Yeah, i am in the US.

Isn't it true that some American Apps dont show up in other regions(kind of like how some Apps for Android only work for US support)

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.
Finally, we'll all be able to play the same games online together, regardless of platform!

This is exciting
this means there will be more gamers to play with
however still ps3 has there exclusive games and xbox has there exclusive games, but would be good for call of duty and other games that are across the platforms

Good point, but it does mean that PS3 and Xbox360 users alike will be able to play the exclusives from consoles they don't have!
I'm a PS3 guy, but I did own an Xbox360 for a while, purely for Halo. It would be GREAT to play that again!

Edit: Balls. Turns out that onlive doesn't do exclusive titles. Totally disregard the above, unfortunately

It's just an Onlive viewer app, so you can watch people playing. It's quite immersive! Maybe I'm just a bit of a voyeur
There's apparently a player app coming at some point, so we'll be able to play console games on our phones. Crazy!

It's a gaming "platform", I guess. It's basically console & PC games streamed over the internet so you can play them with a dedicated viewer box, or on your PC.
Go to http://www.onlive.com/ and sign up (for free) and you can watch people's games in progress and see what's available.

No - that's the beauty of it. It streams games from their service. You still have to buy them, obviously, but they're cheaper than "the real thing".

Contact the developer.

I remember one day I was digging throug emuparadise and seen they had a android games section well it happens to be that a cracked version of mc is on there. I can open it on my droid navigate menus and such but when I open the game it gives me about 10 seconds to move then the phone freezes. I think if someone knew how to edit the file just a slight bit it would work. Also a six axis controller app is required.
I reeeeeeeeally hope we can play it on our phones.

The game will be exclusive to Xperia Play for a limited time and released to other Android devices after that.
That is straight from mojang.com blog! Hope its soon.

just a wild guess but I'm willing to bet itll use virtual keypad/buttons
I can't wait for this app to come out for everyone else. I saw someone playing it on their Xperia Play phone last week and it looks quite awesome. It's not as fully featured as the desktop version of Minecraft of course, but it's still got enough to it to make it worth it in my opinion.
Can you guys tell me what games or apps I should get? I like first person shooters and gta like games but any hardcore game could do

1. buy it on a device you can with the account you normally use.
2. sideload the apk, and it will still find you having purchased the game in Play store
(i hope, not actually tested it)
I can't, because the P880 is the only Android device I have that is (at least technically) compatible with the game.
I think there is also some cracked version, but I prefer to have a clean copy from the Play Store.

login on play.google.com, see if your previous android device was good with this game, then purchase it? of course that can be a problem getting the sideloaded apk you need here. and you are right the cracked edition will probably not check with play if you got a purchased edition
i tried to help, but
Thanks for your support mate! Unfortunately, all my devices are listed as incompatible in the Play Store.
I guess that the cracked game will work, but I'm not feeling comfortable running code from dubious sources on my phone.
In the Googleplay download this aplication:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5udmlkaWEudGVncmF6b25lIl0.
all games for Tegra.
Hi, this is not a new app, i use it since my XperiaPlay days. Think it's the best one of it's kind and if you like playing emulators like i do you will enjoy it too. Maybe most people already have this but for those who are new to the Android Retro Stuff this app will help you to download every game from NES to MaMe.
Btw. shouldn't be any kind of warez or so because this app is not available on the Play Store for some years now!
Ps1 version?
Oh and for everyone who loves playing Arcade Games here's a MaMe 0139 torrent, you will only need a torrent downloader app. All roms are working with Mame4droid Reloaded.

Cool, I haven't heard of that app, I'll check it out. I occasionally play some games from the past.
I just got ados emulator from the play store and got some games from bestoldgames.net
I forgot how fun commander keen was (and how frustrating dos commands are)
