I hope one will come soon. What will be nice is if it had a live tile, you could select your favourite team and get the next match on the tile and then the latest score etc.
Any know of a WP7 app similar to Score mobile on blackberry, that shows scores for any given sport that you choose? Even better if it should score updates on the live tile for the sport/team that you choose.

Whats the name of it?
I hope we can have ESPN scorecenter soon.
definetly need more live tile apps
Sports is lacking for sure. ESPN on IE works pretty well, but a true app would rock. i would gladly pay a few dollars for one if it worked well. A huge bonus would be if it had a customizable live tile!
Hope to see good things soon!

Sounds like a reasonable price. I cant wait to check it out.
what is the best sports score widget?
also what is the best golf game?I have lets golf 2 but want something like tiger woods golf.
I used to use the ESPN mobile app and it had some great features but after a week or so worth of use, it started to FC on me quite often. I then switched to ScoreMobile and it has been awesome. Has a very nice widget too. Search for it on the market, its free!
Just goes as the title. You think its hard for normal developers get noticed with their games?

Yes and it will always be this way. MS will promote their services first.
I agree. On my iphone and on my captivate when i had them i would download any game that looked slightly interesting to me. Now i hardly give any games that arent xbox live a chance. I dont do it on purpose im just like eh no achievements no fun lol. I wonder if Microsoft will allow an alternative in the market like Openfeint for non xbox live games.
Disagree, good games are spread by word of mouth... there isnt many good games that arent xbox live sadly... bye bye brains and stuff got through because they are good...
Sure I download lots of various free games. Impossible Shoota and Alpajax/Spell it are good exmples of games that are doing well without xBox live support. However I really want Alphajax to have full xbox live support. I am an achievement whore!
Lol I do try non Xbox live titles but whenever I go into game section I see Xbox live first so I find fun ones there first

Yes, There needs to be more filtering in the market.
More specifically:
When I go into the Market and select Applications (Not Games) I should see Applications only not games aswell, that kinda defeats the point.
When going into games, there's a Xbox Live category, this indicates to me that this is where I'll find Xbox Live games but they're still included in Top, New etc. They should be separate from the others.
Well their the best games available.
But is there a way for a normal dev to get a Xbox live title on their game title?

Actually I've found a lot of great non-Live titles. A lot of them are free and ad-supported so it's a win-win. Impossible Shoota is probably the best example of this: the game has excellent gameplay, great looking graphics, online leaderboards, and is free thanks to ad-support. Bye Bye Brain is another great example; it's a tower defense zombie game with really excellent graphics and deep gameplay.
-AlphaJax (Unlimited trial)
-Bubble Birds (Free; 'Premium' version $1.99)
-Bubble Jump (Free)
-Bye Bye Brain Lite (Free; Full version $1.99)
-Impossible Shoota (Free)
-Quandra (Free)
-Scrambled (Free)
-Swipy Man (Free)
-Unite (Free)
So far, I've been more impressed with the free games than the XBL games. Usually XBL titles are just a complete ripoff (Rocket Riot for seven bucks? Really?) or are quick and dirty ports from iOS or Android that aren't as good as they should be (Need For Speed).
what ticks me off about xbox live games is that its too common practice to throw a couple of achievements to any ol game and slap a big xbox logo on it... i think its crap and a lot of the time dissapoints users to what they should expect from an xbox title on a platform that its main selling point is this
IMHO games that should come to mind and should be what an xbox live game would be are titles like The Harvest and ilomilo. games that have amazing graphics, gameplay, and overall worthy of what users expect from xbox. not some tetris (for example) some simple, mobile game or iphone port with some achievements baked in

Completely agree. Microsoft did a good job luring big-name developers into WP7 and now I hope they encourage those devs to make quality games that truly live up to the Xbox Live name.

Sadly in the beginning it's a waiting game...
I think they are shadowing normal games but for good reason. They have some bigger developers like Microsoft themselves, EA and Namco. Obviously everyone loves achievements regardless of how easy or hard they are. Achievements are what makes you try to finish a game even though it sucks. And of course my favorite is the leaderboard. Leaderboard is whats makes me come back to a game after I havent played it for weeks. When my friend finally beats my highscore I want to take back the top spot. And of course all this syncs up nicely to Xbox Live. And I can see all of this data on my PC or Xbox. So yeah being an Xbox Live game is more then just a title on the icon and some cheesy achievements.
Now in contrast I bought A Beanstalk Tale for $0.99. I wrote an article about the developer and wanted to support him. This game has awesome graphics, has its own online leaderboard, and even has its own achievements and a museum of sorts to showcase everything you gathered. But unfortunately even though this game is really good, I don't care about it as much as a lesser Xbox Live game. The reason is the leaderboard is a bunch of people I don't know. The achievements don't increase my gamerscore. So while I still play it occasionally it doesn't have that psychological motivation that an Xbox Live game has.
Yeah I agree. Some of them don't deserve it.
