this is it. the operating like spiderman for PPC.
is there any news for this game? or under deverloping?
seems quite unusable, since win mobile lacks multitouch support.. anyway it runs smooth wonder if it runs similarly on our blackstone
multi or not multi,thats not a problem. you played spiderman for blackstone? almost the same operating button. play so good.
for me, multitouch definitely matters
it seems that gba emulator on iphone support multitouch,
but with regard to our blackstone,
we can hardly to get gba emulator running smoothly,
it is very often that we get very low fps on morphgear,
and that is when sound turned off,
otherwise gba games are almost unplayable,
and that really disappointing me.......
I don't want to say this, but iphone seems obviously superior to our blackstone, they got bunches of 3rd party 3d games, which are better in graphics and controbability in comparison to wm games,
and I just seen a video on youtube, which shows they got gba running @150 fps and above....
however, the only good thing for me is that we got fpsece for wm device, which seems better to psx4iphone, but since it is not fully support to wvga in current version, we still have to wait untill version 1.0 comes out and see if there is any good update for our device, but it is still unknown.....
btw, someone mentioned that wm 7 will support multitouch for device like blackstone, it that true?
does it means that we could press any buttons for example on morphgear's gamepad simultaneously?
if so, when will wm 7 to be released?
Well about iphone and blackstone
, the main advantage/disadvantage is graphic on blackstone u got 800x480 and that is double quality then iphone, so it same if u run on PC game on 800x600 and run same game 1600x1200 ( wich requires alot performance) and the hardware is almost near, so u need to chose, quality of Graphics , pictures, movies or, game playing on iphone
where can i get this game or spiderman? i have a tg01 and a touch hd, i want it on both phones, please help
if im correct this is actually just a java game (.jar file) which can be played on touch hd!! i had it installed before i flashed my phone!! i have the file saved on my pc although im not sure if im allowed to post it here!!
EDIT: just had a closer look and my version is actually not the same!! although very similar!! sorry...
this game does look rather nice though and i wouldnt mind trying it out!!
crap i want that game the graphics seem to be fantastic
yes java game, and it is not 3d game, no problem on touch hd and it bored
just for clarification, the PoP HD game is a java game, and the level (from what I can tell from the youtube video) is very similar. HOWEVER, the graphics are really really bad (very pixelated and not full screen) and there is an element of lag.
as for WM7 multitouch? WM7 will support multi-touch and capacitive touchscreens..however, ONLY for new devices. As far as I know, it will not turn resistive screens into multitouch-capable ones (mostly due to hardware limitations). Also, rumours are the WM7 will be so "revolutionary" that even our Blackstone hardware may not run it well...so we might be stuck with WM6.5, but I'm sure one of the talented Chefs here will get something going! otherwise, it'd be upgrading time =]

imho, this topic should be treated as spam and advert.
who's interested knows about 10.1 for MONTHS.
Authors and their satellites arent helping popularity of that project with having worst site, worst forum and worst support in whole internet(or maybe it changed since 2nd rel of 0.10..).
Also, where is freeware(no-saves) version for 0.10.1, hm?
This is what i am talking about.
Emulator's good, though, it wipes out every ps1 emus for other portable systems immediately(i do not count Pandora, there's no concurrency there).
I have a few questions re. "Xbox live games"
1. What does it actually mean? Does it mean that developers produce a cut down version of games and you download it from the market place or are there already pre-existing games for us to download?
2. Can I see a list of games that are already available for download?
3. How fast is the games list increasing?
4. What sort of quality are you guys (who already have WM 7 phones) seeing
5. What are the cost of games.
basically xbox live games offers the xna framework which is what all xbox live arcade games are written in. This allows inddie developers to make xbox live games work on both xbox console and windows phone by just modifying it slightly to handle the different types of input. this should also mean a lot of the proper titles that we actually pay big bucks for might make its way to windows phone, but who knows about that yet.
can't answer the rest of your questions as i don't have a windows phone yet, but i know that there are quite a few varying degrees of quality of apps. Try looking up the harvest (one of the most pushed games as far for windows phone).

Mass Effect 3 for WP7.
Just kidding, but that'd be awesome. Controls would probably be pretty bad.

All XBox Live Arcade games for WP7 are written in XNA (for the time being), but AFAIK XBox Live Arcade games for the XBox 360 are mostly written in C++ (but XNA is also possible).

XBox Live games are almost always games of major publisher. There are some independent games which will be released through Microsofts own game studio. XNA can be used to write games that run with minimal changes on XBox 360, Windows and Windows Phone 7. Obviously some changes or conditional programming are necessary to address the unique feature set of each platform. For example: Windows uses keyboard and mouse as input devices, XBox 360 uses a controller (Kinect is IIRC not possible with XNA at the moment) and WP7 uses a touchscreen.

The "big bucks" games like Halo won't work on WP7, because these type of games are almost always written in C++ and are optimized for hardware that is far beyond the capabilities of WP7. We will see adaptations of existing franchises, ports of iPhone games and remakes of classical games.

All WP7 games are specifically written for WP7, because only WP7 uses XNA and C# in the mobile space as a development platform. Developers can (and will) use existing media resources like images, animations or sound and can use existing implementations (e.g. iOS implementation) as a reference but the game has to be programmed again. At the moment there are already some games available.

Download Zune. The marketplace can be viewed, even if you don't own a WP7 device. At the moment there are 21 games available (German marketplace)

In the last week there were no new games, but I think that after the US launch there will be new content (on XBox 360 there are a few new games every week, meaning that after a few years there are many games available). The list of "ordinary" games without XBox Live support is steadily increasing.

Prices range from Free (one game ) to 6,49€ for The Harvest, The Sims 3, Max & The Magic Marker and Rocket Rio. There seem to be three price points: 2,99€ (Frogger, Flight Control, ...), 4,49€ (Earthworm Jim, Tetris, Bejeweled, Uno) and 6,49€ (see above).

What do you mean by Ordinary games?
also, ta for that extensive info. very helpful
when he says ordinary i think he's more referring to games which are popular on iPhone/Android. Ones which don't expect you to play it for long spans of time.
I really really want this game to be ported to WP7. Probably wont ever happen, though.

There are two types of games on WP7: XBox Live enabled games and games without XBox Live support. With "ordinary games" I meant the games without XBox Live.
XBox Live games are games from big game studios and often feature existing and popular franchises (The Sims, Need for Speed, Tetris, ...). They also can award Achievements and Gamerpoints. Additionally, they are featured on an extra page in Zune (if you open the "games" category in the Zune Marketplace you only see XBox Live games; for other games you must switch the category from "XBox Live" to "All", "Paid" or "Free").
Games without XBox Live support are often developed by small independent studios and developers and can not award Achievements or Gamerpoints.
In my opinion and based on screenshots, XBox Live games will be high quality and more polished, whereas Games without XBox Live range from rubbish to excellent. If you have a XBox, it's the same difference as XBox Live Arcade games (studio based titles) to Xbox Live Indie Games (community based titles). The problem with the ordinary games is that it's complicated to find the games worth playing, but I'm sure that there will be some breakout hits.
Just what the title says, what killer apps have you discovered for WP7? I just got an HTC Surround as an insurance replacement for a dead Tilt 2 yesterday. I'm still discovering things but after spending a couple of hours digging through the marketplace I have to admit that I am somewhat disappointed with some of the app selection. So I figured why not come to the experts.
I'm mostly looking for apps available for retail phones but if there is one that has to be sideloaded that you think is worth it then by all means list it.
So far I've got:
Mango - this goes without saying and obviously will require some hacking for moment but it's worth listing.
Zune Pass - Windows Phone's ace in the hole over iPhone. Unlimited access to millions of tracks for $15/mo. Add in the SmartDJ functionality from Mango and it is a real killer app.
Games geoDefense and Max & The Magic Marker . And many other games too )

New York Subway: best ny subway app

Ontrack!: okay app, no improvisation though ..
The following Apps I paid for and than uninstalled it because they were so pathetic, buggy and some just plain useless:
GPS Speedometer: useless, never works, ugly icon.
eWalletGo: pathetic, seems like they released this app just for the heck of it.
handyscan: pathetic, my direct camera pics are more clear than their scan.
My Budget: useless, just record your meaningless transaction, my bank does it too.. Mobudget is way better than this.
One shipping tracker app which was buggy, they are not listed in MP anymore and another NY subway app which was just an app with PDF files of subway map inside, they had no trial otherwise I would have never bought it..
Install the app called Top Developers. It will show you the apps for the best rated developers.
My fav apps are:

GoVoice - for Google Voice

I think MoBudget last update was around end of June and make the version to 2.17?
IMO, MoBudget really a killer apps for me in WP7, use it everyday~
wow - No mention of Wordament?
Best game I've ever played on any mobile platform, addictive as hell and it's free! No doubt will be copied by some unscrupulous iPhone games company very soon, but for now it's exclusive to WP7!
Also I like the game Tentacles, very innovative.
As for regular apps, I most regularly use Supertube (neat youtube app, allows downloading videos) and Bingle Maps (combines google and bing maps).

Yes they did, but most of their updates has been fixes and many minor changes.. very little new features.. i cant wait for their Live Tile feature and Graph charts which they have promised since May.. maybe they will bring it after Mango.. right now the app scene has all came to a halt waiting for MANGO it seems.. they should also make data input feature a bit easier, My Budget app had a smoother inputing transaction method, if mo budget could apply the same way it would be perfect for me..
Here is the list of games I like:
Plant Vs. Zombies: endless, ever changing gameplay.. good.
Assasins creed: endless, ever changing gameplay.. xcellent.
fruit ninja: surprisingly good, i thought it was for girls but loved it after i bought.
need for speed: enjoyed it!
zombies!!!: Thumbs up.
Rocket riot: Thumbs up.
Rise of glory: Thumbs up.
the harvest: good game but no replay value.
the sims: okay game.
I dig it: saving gameplay is a pain.. right now i am repeating whole level 2 again from beginning because i accidentally exited the game in end by hitting the bing search button.
UNO, Monopoly, parachute panic and fable coin golf: short game, regret buying but its okay to have in collection for a change..
The following games I hate and I wish I could get my money back:
ilomilo: very hard puzzles, unplayable for me, dont like it at all, dont enjoy playing it.
OMG: I want my money back, do not buy this stupid game.
Oregon's trail: what you see in Demo is what is repeated for next 4 hours, nothing new, if you played demo, you have played whole game.
Sonic: this game is unplayable, they cheat you by presenting surprisingly easy levels on demo, but once u buy it, u wont get past level 2, u wont even finish level 2, stupid controls, unplayable, do not buy, remove this game from MP for the better of others who might fall into this trap by sonic company.
All other games in Xbox WP7, i dont liked their demo so i didnt buy them, right now i am waiting for new games..

Me, People, and Picture Hub. The killer apps of WP7 (Mango), at least for me.
Apps:
Beezz (Twitter app with working live-tile)
Shopping List (nice and simple checklist-app)
Supertube
Accuweather (not that great but does the job, switching when marketplace goes live here in sweden)
Flight Info
tvmatchen.nu (shows what channels are showing various sports atm here in Sweden)
gMaps (Best Google maps app imo)
Navigation (TBT Navigation)
IMDB
Cocktail Flow
DC Comics
Last.fm will probably become a favourite after Mango is release and they can add last.fm-scrobbling from the native music player.
Games:
Tentacles !!!
geoDefense !!!
Rocket Riot !!
OMG
ByeByeBrain
Corona
Star Ninja
Name My Tune (plays music from your phone and you should guess the name of the song)
Penguin
Squid Squish
Pixelman
For me the "killer apps" - if you really want to call it that - are what is already built int, mostly the mail client and Office with the SharePoint connection. Apart from those I use the Amazon Kindle app and Boxfiles (Dropbox client) a lot.
The apps I would see as killer apps - if they were there - would be Lync client (should come with Mango) and Skype (will we see that, now that MS bought them?).
Hey guys. 7712 Mozart here.
Apps I use:
4th & Mayor
Rowi
Facebook/People's hub
Engadget (somehow 7712 messed it up)
LazyTube
Office
Turn by Turn Navi (can't buy full app yet Marketplace not launched here. on a different region)
Flickr Manager (lite)
gMaps
HTC Notes (comes in handy sometimes and animations are sweett)
HTC Photo Enhancer
Thumba Cam
Vevo
WP Central
Mail
Really hoping Microsoft would open up the Marketplace here. Would help loads. And that partnership with Nokia is gonna boost their rep if their marketing gets better. Can hardly find a decent casing here. Tempted to ship on in but Amazon doesn't ship here so meh :/
I realize this might be a tad touchy: Is there a good torrent app for WM7/7.5?
So XBL games up until now for Windows Phone haven't all been that great... Well there are some good games but Microsoft aren't really utilising the Xbox Brand and bringing over serious games. Had a little idea while playing Dreamcast, it might be something they're already working on actually.
If you remember the Dreamcast it had a VMU (Visual Memory Unit) which was a memory card with a tiny screen and a few buttons you could play mini games on. For example, you catch Flickys in Sonic Adventure, transfer them to the VMU and play mini games with them when you're away from the console.
There's already rumors of Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 having the same core, this presumably ties into the Xbox as there was Xbox 360 code found in Windows 8 Betas. There's also Xbox Live cloud storage happening for Xbox and Windows Phone.
So... How about when you purchase an Xbox game you also get a Windows Phone companion game. For a game like Fifa you'd be able to play on the xbox and then on the go use your Windows Phone to train up players etc, same concept for fighting games.. Then when you get back to the Xbox changes that had happened on your windows phone (players levelling up etc) would be reflected in the main game.
For games like Halo etc you could play minigames witch allow you to unlock extra items, addons for the main game. This kind of concept has already partially been implemented in Fable Pub Golf.
This would solve the problem of having no big name games on Windows Phone but would also mean we would have games that are suitable for the Phone and not just ports which are hard to control.
They're already working on that; the best example being Kinectimals.
Cloud saving feature, that's all I can think of for now, though it's not really necessary because you won't be performing a hard reset, but what if you buy a new phone? I'm thinking of getting a new Nokia or HTC mango phone with ffc, but how about game saves and SMS on the older phone?
So there, maybe a save to cloud feature, or something like "easy transfer" like the one in windows 7 when migrating to a new PC.
I would like to see further development of the concept of using a WP7 device as an optional controller on the xbox. With the Wii-U having a touchscreen controller and the Sony making the PS Vita usable in that way, I think this might be a very real possibility. It might not work for every game but I could see it working well in others. For instance, in Madden you could download a companion app to go with the 360 version. You could use your phone to select plays instead of doing them on the screen.
I know they showed something sort of like that in the Kinect Adventures/WP7 demonstration video awhile back so the technology is obviously there in some capacity.
Edit: also regarding the OP's idea, I believe that sort of thing was talked about early on. You could download the mobile version of a game and earn unlocks and upgrades that would transfer to your console.
