April? I'd personally prefer a surprise launch instead of figuring out why the hell this game is still more than a month away.
Was the legal issue ironed out? Release the damn game!

So is this list ordered? If so, I assume Sonic 4 is two weeks away, geoDefense four weeks, Angry Birds six, etc.

nice iphone fanboiesque overhyping of a lousy game

Every "Xbox Live" game is published by a major studio. Most of the time its Microsoft if its from a smaller developer like this.

You can thank Apple for somehow making big amounts of shovelware a feature that should be flaunted.

Abousolutely a good news for all of us … what are you waiting for and what other games would you like to see on Windows Phone 7? Let us know.
You can read the detail in
blog.mobosquare.com/android-games/angry-birds-will-come-to-wp7-on-april-6/
Wow... 5 whole apps? I guess they can cross their fingers then and hope that this puts them back in the running. They are so behind the curve that they need many miracles to return. I am a former WinMo fanboy... and I was one for far too long. But, if they can catch up to android, I might just give them a shot again. Call me when pigs fly.
I remember them saying they have zero plans to port it over to WP7, but we can hope...
I see no evidence on what makes them believe this will be done, but we can hope...

This is the most homophobic thing I've read all week. smh
There's no reason to describe the gameplay in such a manner.
They use fruit ninja becasue it is an easily recognizable popular game that many people know. If angry birds was out, I'm sure they'd use that

[Discussion] Games you want Ported to Windows Phone

On my blog, I recently wrote an article about games I would like to see be ported to Windows Phone. Mango is slated to be the biggest update to Windows Phone yet. With Mango bringing features like socket support, there is a huge potential for a whole bunch of games being made for and ported to the Windows phone platform. With that, do you know of any games that you would like to see a Windows Phone port of? Also, do you agree or disagree with the choices of games I made (in the blog post) that I would like to see be ported to the Windows Phone platform?

Anyone remembers Pathway to Glory for the original NGage ?
I'd like to see a remake of that game.
I had fun with Zenonia, Peggle, and so many other iPhone games. Sadly, doubt they will ever be ported to wp7. iOS gets all the best apps and games, just the way it is.
Oh, and they already have a few clones of the games you listed on your blog. Duck hunt and angry birds I know for sure have clones on wp7.
I treat my phone like my Kinect: it's nice to have around but I can only see myself playing casual games with it. So Halo, Final Fantasy or whatnot I don't care for. 3 games I'd really like would be Cut The Rope, Game Dev Story and Words with Friends (I don't think it's as good as Alphajax but it's cross-platform). There are probably others I can't remember (Angry Birds is out in 2 days).
To the above poster, Peggle is a PopCap game and given their great relationship with Microsoft I wouldn't rule it out for WP7.

nope, I've never actually heard of that game before (until now)
Age of Empires.
There are several games I'd really love to see ported to WP7. But what I would probably like best is a remake of good old Lemmings. And possibly Push Over. Hmm... Turrican 1 and 2 would be nice as well.
Forget ports, I want to see Microsoft treat this as a real Xbox portable and get their game studios working on games like PGR, Forza, Kameo, Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie, Halo etc. And also encourage other big developers on the platform to give us DS/Vita quality games.
Edit: Also are you not aware Angry Birds comes out Wednesday?

I was not aware until now about the release date of Angry Birds. As for everything else, Microsoft is promoting Windows Phone devices as having the ability to play games integrated with Xbox Live, but Microsoft is not promoting it as it's chief function (but I do get your point). I do agree that Microsoft, in the Windows Phone division of the Xbox Live department, should be encouraging game development companies to bring some of their popular games and game series to Windows Phone.
they should port minecraft

dosbox pls.
That one would fall under the category of Emulators, and as far as I know, Microsoft has not let any emulators into the marketplace yet.

For sure!!! I would love to see forza, perfect dark and halo.
Hopeful with mango, developer tools will allow game studios to recreate those great games and other.

wow Pathway to Glory was really THE BEST mobile game ever, the graphical details, gameplay and background score were way ahead of time for a game released in 2004 on a platform with limited hardware capabilities.
sadly this is the only decent video I could find: http://youtu.be/6PYRx1Q9ltk
edit::
Limbo would also make an amazing port for WP7
http://youtu.be/Y4HSyVXKYz8
I would kill to see Gamevil's games ported to WP7. I played Zenonia 1 and 2 before making the switch and now I wish I could play 3. Unfortunately Gamevil let me know that Native Code isn't supported so they can't port them. Sad.
Peggle seems a must though.
My vote goes to the timeless classic Wonderboy, love the game and the retro soundtrack.
REAL RACING (iphone), great great game !
I dont see any decent racing car game on WP7

Now that you mention it, Gran Turismo on Window Phone sounds like a good idea. For you Nascar fans, I'm sure a Nascar game could be made as well (pending popularity and demand for it, because low popularity + selling has made it a low priority for gaming companies).

true. though a few homebrew NES ones are already floating around here. once you have a dos emulator, imagine all the good oldies that you can play.
and com'on, it's a WINDOWS phone. can't we at least have some command line love?
I would like to see OpenTTD
