Post you Fav WM6 capable game

Hey all,
While im waiting to pick up the missus or in a boring meeting .. i like to dial up my fav Hermes game ..
I thought this would be a great collection if everyone started pitchin in.
Test

Pocket Heroes - No contest
This game is the reason I bought a 3200MaH battery. Its a clone of Heroes of Might and Magic from back in the day and translated beautifully to the PPC platform.
This is the only software I have paid for for my phone, and its worth every penny.
Check out www.pocketheroes.net

if only call of duty 2 worked on the Hermes...!

i use FPSEce Playstation Emulator when i want to play a PSX game
check it out www.fpsece.net

tomb raider : )
greatest series ever in the history of the universe
and showing off 3d graphics on my phone is amazing and a great way to be like iphone shmiphone

pdamill makes a great pinball game called Maggot Attack and Fireball. Both are great games.

Can someone post the old ones like - space invaders etc .. here ..
Lets start a repository for within this thread.

Is it freeware? I know there are several versions of Space Invaders available for purchase.
If you are looking for pirated software you are in the wrong place. Warez is not tolerated at XDA-Developers.

Clearly ..
No one was talking about warez here bud.
I think the title is pretty clear.

I wouldn't say the title was all that clear..."Post you Fav WM6 capable game" and when I read "Can someone post the old ones like - space invaders etc .. here .. Lets start a repository for within this thread." I thought you meant to post the actual files. No offense intended, and now that the air is clear on the warez subject, let the discussion continue...
I normally only keep one game at a time on my PPC for emergency use . Funny you should mention it because currently I have Space Invaders installed.

2 suggestions
NetHack (free dungeon rpg)
Conquest (cheap risk clone)

Just found a Doodle Jump like game for WP7!

Guys I don't know exactly whether or not this is the right place to post this, but I'm just SO EXCITED right now.
While searching for cool WP7 apps I just found a game called "Doodle Tower".
It looks pretty much like Doodle Jump for the iPhone! I can't wait to get my hands on this one, read some UK forums and many people say it's even better than the original Doodle Jump.
There are like 8-9 platform types with different functions and the level generator seems to be pretty solid with a combination of randomization and scripts!

Has it been released yet or is it "Coming soon" ?

It's already released!
You can find it in the marketplace by searching "Doodle Tower" or have a look at some screenshots at the developer homepage: modmonkeys.net
I would post links to some reviews and opinions I read about it, but I'm not yet allowed to do so because I'm new to this forum.

Thanks, I'll take a look.
Update: Just taken a look at the game....no way is it better than doodlejump. The level design is the most simple thing I've ever seen. good foundations, but it needs some proper skinning before I even consider a purchase.

In my opinion the level design is exactly the thing that makes it more interesting than Doodle Jump. You have to see that Doodle Jump received dozens of updates and this game is at it's beginning, however the platform types currently in the game are much more fun than in Doodle Jump.
It is more random than the Doodle Jump levels, Doodle Jump got boring as soon as you have seen the possible platform segments. Doodle Tower uses more randomization without giving up the scripted segments, they just combine it a very balanced way.
The game misses some background enhancements and enemies or some special effects, but the foundation is more solid than Doodle Jump 1.0 has been back then. It will be interesting to see what the devs plan in future updates, I personally love it the way it is atm, and I'm sure I will love it even more with future updates!
All in all Doodle Tower is the best game of its kind you can get for WP7 at the moment. Doodle Jump may have more updates, but Doodle Tower will receive more and more content, I'm pretty sure about that.

Hi guys,
I'm one of the lucky German citizens that received their WP7 device yesterday. And I just registered here to thank FW8 for this topic!
I was sceptically when I saw the screens, but hell, the gameplay is freaking awesome!
Played it for about 1-2 hours and it's still a lot of fun! I'm using every free minute trying to get a new highscore.
I'm missing online leaderboards, enemies and some cool special effecs (particles or something that uses the power of my device a bit) but for an early version it is just BADASS!

MonsterUp
As you may have already noticed, Doodle Tower was taken down an replaced with Birdy something because of naming disputes. No matter though, cause our game, MonsterUp, is way better and available since beginning of January. Already voted best WP7 for January 2011, featured in Channel9 Hot Apps show, and getting awesome reviews in the Marketplace.
Check it out at www.kariosgames.com, get the trial version and let us know what you think.

Best WP7 Websites

Was just wondering which websites people follow for their fix of WP7 news. I myself have found a couple of good ones, but none of them are big enough to be my only source of news.
Anyway, here's my list:
WMPowerUser - Great site that does a couple of app and game reviews daily and usually has the best coverage about WP7 news. Only negative is that sometimes they seem just a tad biased, but I guess that's a given with a dedicated site.
WP Central - Good site that also does at least one review daily. But also lacks in comparison to the amount of news found on WMPU.
PocketNow - One of the only mobile sites that does an equal amount of coverage for WP7 as the other platforms. Plus there's a filter above their article previews which means you can choose to only read about WP7 news if you want.
Best WP7 Games - Bad name, but a truly excellent site. I just found it a couple of days ago and it's my new favorite for game reviews and news. I have discovered a lot of great games I literally had no idea about.
So, what are yours?

nice find. knew about a couple of them, but best wp7 games looks cool.

wp7applist.com

WP7 App List looks great. It gives a very nice statistics:
http://wp7applist.com/stats/
AppsFuze gives you direct links to an application page + shows app rating.
Marketplace Browser is easiest to be found in Google It allows posting comments/answers.

Nice topic !
Personnaly, mine are MonSmartphone.net with it's nice design (it reminds me of my smartphone WP7). It covers main news about Windows Phone 7 (and WP7 enabled smartphones) and some games/apps weekly.
It has everything about WP7, even a marketplace. The bad : only in French :'(
I also like Engadget, really awesome, a reference ! Covers nearly everything about gizmos and technologies.
Finally, MobileTechWorld for his nice articles, reviews and news about Windows Phone 7

there is also mobilitydigest.com and wpcentral.com

Obviously these 3 websites:
- www.pocketnow.com
- www.wmpoweruser.com
- www.1800pocketpc.com/

Yes yes I use all of these sites and they are great for now, but I have a vision for something a lot greater
That's why I am actually releasing a new site: Windowsphonespot.com
Can't spill all the details right now, but I've already registered the domain and am hard at work on the design. Just know that when the site does open (Around January) it will be THE site to visit daily for all WP7 owners.

WMPoweruser.com has to tone down their ads though. I particularly hate that big block of ads separating the blog post and the comments section. Not to mention the irrelevant Goodyear tire ads (which Pocketnow also displays).
I know the ads support the site, but there's a point where too many ads make the ads themselves ineffective/irrelevant.

i agree. best thing to do is to have an adblocker installed. though it might be hard to find a good one for IE, but they're out there.

I like to add two apps
1. app finder http://sorokoletov.com/ztop/
2. review reader http://wp7reviews.tomverhoeff.com

I personally check daily:
For news:
www.wpcentral.ccom
www.wmpoweruser.com
www.pocketnow.com
www.engadget.com (rarely)
For apps and stats:
www.windowsphoneapplist.com

OP should add in all/some of the links in to the first post and mods should sticky this! Could be useful to people new to WP7 and dont know where to find more info about WP7 news. This thread certainly did help me!

I'm working on making my website the premier site for WP7 game news and reviews. http://www.m-arcade.com/ - I haven't officially launched it yet. I plan to do that sometime next week, but from that point forward I hope to provide frequent game reviews (with video) and also relevant news.
One thing I did with my site was made it incredibly easy for people to log in and comment, both in the blog and the forums, which I hope encourages discussion that will lead to better game updates, and also more informed game purchases.

I love my wp7!

Just to detract from all the hater posts on here lately, I just wanted to say that I just came onboard from android and, aside from the lack of good games, I really do love my wp7.
I have been extremely happy so far!

Which phone did you go with?
I played with the HTC Surround (what was HTC thinking?) with Mango on it and it was nice. Can't wait til I get one.

I traded my HTC incredible s for an lg quantum and haven't looked back!

nice and welcome! have had my focus for over a year now, and enjoy it every day I've had. which is pretty remarkable since people get bored of phones so quickly.

thank you!
The focus is a beautiful phone, I do love my physical keyboard.though.
It is seriously a welcome change, I love metro ui

Another happy WP7 user. All it takes is for people to use one in a context of owning it and they will be hooked. By the way, there are some excellent games. You just have to browse through them. You can try many of them that are paid. I have a large selection in my collection and can list them for you if you need.

I would appreciate that!
What i miss the most is a good first person shooter
I can live with the lack of games though, everything else makes it totally worthwhile imo..
Never any lag, and I don't feel like I need to constantly flash or tweak my device.
Makes me much more productive in other areas of my life hahah

I've had my HTC trophy since it came out in the spring/summer on vzw. i had a droid x before, and I don't miss android. Every month I would have to flash my phone so it would be fast again. Not needed with wp7. I love the OS, but the phone could have better specs.
Sent from my mwp6985 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Welcome on board!

I would recommend pro evo soccer but then I guess football isn't everyone's taste would be good to see some other sports games, I think baseball could cross to phone really well and cricket. Could also do American football and rugby in a similar way to pes could use swipe controls for kicks and scrums etc to add extra elements.
Ps welcome onboard I to came from android and love it. Android still has a place in my heart but more in tablets now. =)

+1 for Flowerz.
It is a challenging game if you put your time in it

It can be. I usually play to about the 10th level and then restart. I like it up to the 10th level. After that it becomes a pain and un-fun.

Finally a thread without bad karma getting quite rare now...
And welcome to WP7 Apps that I recommend:
AccuWeather - has the best LiveTile for weather right now
kik/whatsapp
weave - good news app
LazyTube - best youtube app
TuneIn Radio - best radio app with background streaming
Appflow - quite a must have
CocktailFlow - very nice app for making cocktails
imdb - for movies, obviously
for games:
Arcane's TD Free
Chicken Story Plus
Broken Wing Plus
Bobble Biker
FastBall 2
Jewel³
Krashlander Free
Monster Stack
Square Off Free - very nice one

Pulse, best news app ever. Best live tiles too.
Lazytube is ok.
I can't recommend a game yet.

Please reply via PM as I don't want to be accused of derailing the thread but are you actually saying you don't own a WP7? Because that would explain some things...

Pulse has a live tile? I know it has background updates.

I've just spent 11 hours on fusion: sentinels. It is everything a cellphone game should be and its integration with my 360 is amazing. Highly recommended.

I own one from 27/12/2010 omnia 7;;
until now and I love it
But a little disappointed with the new devices..
I was waiting something big from Samsung here in Europa but still nothing
IM going to give my omnia 7 to my gf she is crazy about it
but i dont know what is next for me ..

[NOT NEXUX RELATED] Gaming YouTube channel. Come In!

Hi guys and gals,
I'm opening a new youtube channel dedicated to all of you gamers out there, I hope it'll help you become more familiar in the YT community, the whole idea is to feature gameplays\commentaries by gamers.
I got the idea after years of watching famous youtubers like wingsofredemption, woody'sgamertag and such, and wanting to be a part of this amazing community, then I figured there are many people like me who want in on this too but have no time to manage a YouTube channel, commentate, upload and such, so I came up with this idea.
the gameplays submitted can include commentaries or not, if no commentary is added to the gameplay I will commentate and talk about the gameplay itself and about other stuff too.
I think allot of gamers out there want their gameplays to reach a broader audience and this is the sole purpose of this channel.
Also I will post as many commentaries as I can, but again, the purpose is to bring you gamers out there to the eyes of the whole gaming community.
the channel is in its diapers right now, and I am gathering gamers from all around the globe to populate it.
Submissions should be sent over cloud services like dropbox etc.. (if you have better ideas i'd be happy to learn about them).
So, this whole thing depends on all of you gamers out there, and is FOR you
I usually play cod:black ops 2 and most of my videos will most likely be of blops 2 but you may suggest any game you like.
So as the usual YouTuber closing words go - Like, Share and Subscribe!

I guess you're right.. but I tried my best not to make it look like an ad, because it isn't one, my channel is intended to provide a place in which gamers can make the gaming community aware of their videos, gameplays, ideas, commentaries and what not. I see it as a great opportunity for every gamer out there. plus, it does not qualify as an ad as it has nothing to do with the making of money only pure 100% entertainment

It's still an ad, because you're advertising for your gaming channel on YouTube. Why didn't you just add the link to your sig.? That would save space, unlike the way you did it.

Please continue discussion here. Thanks.
