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

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.

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).

P.S. I HATE APPLE. i am trying to show some apple fanboys that u can get the same type of games and as good games as you can get on the iPhone/iPod on the PPC
actually the only thing i'm envious of is the quality of games on the iphone. Sure for windows mobile you also got a lot of games, but if the manufacturer (HTC!!!!) doesn't even provide hardware acceleration drivers, then no matter how many games you got.... it still sucks......
Luckly i havent really bought Touch HD yet but i want it very much.
and the again i cant wait for the new nVIDIA Tegra that comes out soon and it can play quake 3 with a fps of 30 and play 1080p movies.
so its just a matter of time to see if i can wait for Tegra because my current phone is totally broken.
and yeah i am envious on iPhone/iPod to just bought Ipod Touch so there three in my class that have iPod Touches and there is so meny great games espically the TD's

Can I get some feedback on the games?
the games all look fine, but i personally would prefer NOT to pretend they are mario, god of war, call of duty etc etc.
using an icon of mario does NOT make it a mario game....likewise for the others
those are licenced/trademarked names from the original developers and using their names makes it sound like YOU think the game isn't good enough to sell without pretending it's part of a franchise.
i never install games like that
if it's a good game, rename it and rebrand it yourself....you should be proud of doing the work so don't cheapen it by trying to jump onto someone else's marketing bandwagon.
just my humble opinion of course....and i'm sure it's the opinion of Nintendo etc who own the copyright to those brands officially
are you serious????

Ok i read your post and you dont make any sense at all. If I was trying to sell the games I could see your point , but Iam not. The reason I made those games originally was for myself. I made them because those are the types of games I like to play. I figure I share them with others as well. Where do you see me trying to sell copywritten games??? Did you even think before you posted???
that was not his point at all.
i think, what d-signet is trying to say is that usually games, that do not originate in a big franchise, but still use their names, are too poorly made to be branded under an own name. so, if you have a proper 1:1 clone of a mario game, name it as a proper clone. if it is an original platform game, which is good enough to stand for itself, don't minimize your own artwork by using mario's name and keep it original.
i have to agree with d-signet. i have come along so many knock-offs and clones that names like "SuperMarioGunWVGA" actually keep me from installing the game and even give it a chance, because i would expect another cheap clone. if you put an original name like jump 'n' gun or whatever, i would certainly have a look.
so, nobody is accusing you of copyright infringement, but only of a poor choice of names, while the work behind it and sharing it with the community is highly appreciated.
i agree with the above. you do not help your case when you state that you are "working hard to supply you with the latest games for free!!!"
Well I guess no one wrote what I said. I will repeat , this are games that I wanted to play but didnt see avalible on windows mobile. I made them so I could play them on the go. I made original games also , like phaserx,rexum,colorbox,etc. Nintendo ,Sega,or Sony would not have a problem unless I sell thier games. There are hundreds of supermario,sonic, and many more clones avalible for the PC,MAC, or Linux. What I am doing here is nothing new , just having fun!!!
Are your original games free too? hehe. where is the link?
Whatever the names, your games are plain bad(goddamn the controls)
If you are looking for some nice games to play on HD i recommend PocketUFO, TTDeluxe, NetHack. They all look nice and are free.

If someone makes a game like god of war or street fighter 4 then sure it will. The hardware is quite capable of running some pretty intense games they just have to be made.
Actually it probably won't have god of war but potentially streetfighter. Not for technical reasons but there won't be any "M" rated games in the store. Microsoft is going with a PG13 strategy. It was mentioned that this is even a problem for MS as there is some wanting to bring Halo to the platform.
So much for the gaming platform. Not that I personally care much, but that's a strange attitude to a phone with that XBox logo on the homescreen.
PG13? Sounds quite dumb because exceptional majority of WP7 phone owners will be grown-ups.
Yea, I'm thinking that they may open it up more once they can get parental controls in a "future release" but for now it's the more family friendly variety.
This makes sense. (Market for under-18s) > (Subset of gamers that need >PG13 content). But it will be good when the platform gets more security features / parental controls.

At the prices that Microsoft will charge, what parent will give thier child a windows phone7? If thier marketplace is PG-13 then they wont release the game that Microsoft has been showing Harvest . I think this is a way so that Microsoft can approve thier own developers but not indepent developers. Microsoft already has a built in excuse now. What a shame!!

Remember, MS is separating the game marketplace from the app marketplace, so the same rules may not apply to the game store. Besides, there won't be a God of War game on WP7 anyway since it's a Sony exclusive.

Halo was specifically mentioned as being a "problem" since MS is enforcing a PG-13 policy. I'm sure there's public sources but this was from a talk I heard in person at TechEd.
I think that Microsoft should do their best to have games on Windows Phone 7 that tie-in to existing Xbox 360 games or Games for Windows to allow you to earn or accomplish something in the console or PC game or earn Xbox Live avatar items or similar items or even unlock features in the console game. It might just be more like a series of minigames depending on the type of game. For example, for Halo you might be able to customize your in-game character whereas for slower paced games that might work better on a phone, you might have much more interaction more related to the game. Imagine being able to give your kid something to do in a grocery store or in the car to occupy them - maybe they could get their pet from Kinectimals and care for it, advancing their progress in the game. I know that Microsoft is pushing to make WP7 a player in the mobile gaming industry and I know that it would certainly drive sales of WP7 devices if they could motivate gamers to buy them if they could earn things in Xbox 360 games exclusively by having a Windows Phone 7 device and the Windows Phone Tie-in game.
If you like this idea and want to see Microsoft make it happen, VOTE please, and VOTE every day if you can since you are allowed to. You can also share the link to the voting page and that will help even more. Thanks for your time & support!
There's a separate topic for the competition, just so you know.
But I thought Microsoft already planed to tie in the phone with the XBox, seeing they said it would be over the same account as xbox/zune.

They do. There might even be X-Box 360 or PC games where you have an add-on/extra WP7 game where you can obtain some extra gamer-scores and stuff like that. I'm not sure how far the integration will eventually go, but they even showed an example of starting a game on your PC, then continuing that same game on your phone and to then finish it on your X-Box 360. This game had 90% of it's code shared by the 3 versions for the X-Box, PC and phone. They showed it as an example, but they specifically mentioned that it was just a proof of concept and something like that will not happen initially, maybe at some later stage. There at least are obvious plans for some integration and cooperation between games for WP7 and for on the X-Box and PC.

Oh, there is? Sorry. MS said that you could login to Xbox Live and have games that you could earn achievements in, but I never heard them say that you could have the games be related to console/PC games in that they could be used to unlock things in that console/PC game. I certainly heard nothing like the depth of interaction that I described with Halo or Kinectimals that would engage gamers to higher level than just also having games that run on the phone.

Granted Microsoft provides a API for it!
But give it time. Try look at how the iPhone API developed the last 4 years. If Microsoft can get success with the WP7, we'll have superb APIs for things like this and more in no time.
Microsoft is about one of the only companies that really cares about their developers. Nobody managed to make a community like MSDN before or after.

Not initially. Do you forget that they have their own game company: Microsoft Game Studios and own several companies that they bought for it AND own the Halo franchise? They could kick-start the movement by doing it for their own games and also engage the developers and help them to make it happen. This happens very often with Microsoft and is one of the reasons they are successful over the long term.
I mean I understand that it's to be released on both the Xbox and WP7 at the same time but really? That's it? I am thoroughly disappointed this time. Xbox has dug through mounds of **** just to make a name for itself and what has Windows Phone 7 shown in that department? I mean there's ilomilo and then theres iphone clones. It's so sad to see a first rate OS by a corporate giant turned into a third rate gaming platforms because they'd rather spend a huge budget on advertising what the phone can currently do rather than making that Xbox live tile appeal to a plethora of users who had hope in their hearts when they saw Xbox live integration and watched it be shat on with garbage like... well... half the stuff on the Xbox live WP7 marketplace. It's cool that you're getting the most popular iphone clone and a game I played on my beat up sega dreamcast a decade ago but really, where's the innovation?
I think it might be time to change your siggy...
I don't have an xbox, so I don't care so much about the integration, but I'm finding way more games I like on my phone right now than on android or winmo.
Currently working on twin blades, AC, I dig it, and The Harvest. Also play majong(sp) tiles and a couple rounds of spades as well.

Ah, R.I.P. Twin Blades. It was a great game unfortunately I've since swapped memory cards coincidentally on the day it vanished from the market and alas I am left without one of the defining games on the platform. I Dig It I havent really visited in some time due to the inability to save (not sure if that's still present), The Harvest has somewhat annoying controls, a virtual joystick makes more sense than a point and click diablo-esque phone game in my opinion, and AC has been on multiple other platforms as well as the other two games though perhaps not the exact same program. The astounding part though is regardless of the faults it's still the best. It's just that they've given us an amazing game or two (The Harvest really is amazing the controls just aren't for me) and then since have lacked innovation greatly. Where I thought they were going to try and stand alone it now looks like they're trying to be a "me too" platform. I did recieve an email from someone regarding a mobile version of Torchlight though and though they couldn't confirm or deny they did tell me it was an option they were exploring. That would be amazing as that game only takes like what? 140 megs on the xbox? Dull it down a bit and it could be a game changer for WP7.

always such informative and insightful posts. They add a lot to the conversation.
I'm starting to agree with you about all the new releases. Puzzle games have their place (especially on a mobile phone platform), but without more action titles, it makes it seem like XBox live is not really a serious reason for someone to get a WP7 as Microsoft would like people to think.
That said, I have actually really, really enjoyed the XBox Live games. I used WinMo and Android for a long time before WP7 and never really got into gaming on either platform but for some reason, I just started playing games on WP7 a lot. I don't have an XBox so the integration with XBox is not something I really care about. I like the achievements. It gives me something to play for.
The April releases will keep me satisfied for a while, but in my opinion, they need a lot more releases like those in April, not just every now and then.
edit: oh yeah, an afterthought... maybe chill out on the tower defense games. 1 is enough on the entire platform. It seems like every other game on the Marketplace is a freakin tower defense game. Not a big fan.
I guess you guys haven't seen the poker commercial on xbox live then? Its quite stupid.
You can play the game on both your console and phone.

How do y'all like WP7? I'm still on WinMo because Garmin Mobile XT is awesome, particularly where there is no cellular coverage. Also, I do not own a laptop and do a lot of long emails on my phone when I'm not at home with my 70lb desktop and I'm irritated that I can't get a WP7 device with the exact same keyboard as my Rhodium and at least the latest Qualcomm 45nm goodness in it complete with Adreno 205, much less the upcoming dual Cortex A8 with independent clock speed and CPU voltage and Adreno 220. Why in the Sam Hill did M$ decide that only 65nm OG Snapdragon SoC's were going to go into WP7 devices?
I read a few reviews of the Euro-spec 7 Pro and it seems that HTC used a crappy LCD but not as crappy as the HD7's, and they somehow messed up the chassis of the Rhodium and the keyboard. I like that I can get giant batteries for these things and that unibody sh*t jus doesn't float my boat. I guess I'm just pissed that WP7 is locked to 65nm Snapdragon and irritated with HTC for messing with the landscape qwerty slider chassis and keyboard that they perfected with the Rhodium.

Why in the Sam Hill did M$ decide that only 65nm OG Snapdragon SoC's were going to go into WP7 devices?
I read a few reviews of the Euro-spec 7 Pro and it seems that HTC used a crappy LCD but not as crappy as the HD7's, and they somehow messed up the chassis of the Rhodium and the keyboard. I like that I can get giant batteries for these things and that unibody sh*t jus doesn't float my boat. I guess I'm just pissed that WP7 is locked to 65nm Snapdragon and irritated with HTC for messing with the landscape qwerty slider chassis and keyboard that they perfected with the Rhodium.

huh. most reviewers have said the 7 pro keyboard is the best keyboard since the tp2. Those tp2's won't last forever.
Oher than the non live titles made by independant developers I am starting to think this phone will never make it past the casual gaming.
“Beards & Beaks: Cave Area”
“Bug Village”
“Burn the Rope”
“Chickens Can’t Fly”
“Collapse!”
“Gravity Guy”
“Farm Frenzy 2”
“Fight Game Rivals”
“IonballEX”
“Kinectimals Mobile”
“Mush” .
“Orbital”
“TextTwist 2”
“Toy Soldiers Boot Camp”
Seriously...
a phone is perfect for casual gaming. I did buy "The Harvest" and while it was excellent it wasn;'t nearly as enjoyable for quick plays when you have free time etc
Halo. Forza 4 (perfect for WP7, even downloading "ghost" cars to race against to climb the leaderboards). MIA. Missed opportunity.
Ya Know when they were hyping up "The Harvest" and talking about how games like this were an display of what windows mobile could do I should have known it was a trap.

People use phones for non-casual gaming?
I want Emigmo 2....I wish they would release that for WP7.... I beat Emigmo 3 times now (all 50 levels).
If you were expecting hardcore gaming on a phone, then, well... I don't know what to say.
Shoulda bought an Xbox instead?

Yeah I mean, I kind of agree with that. I have a 360 and consider myself to be a hardcore gamer and I'm just satisfied knowing that if I buy these games I'll get achievements with them.

This just looks like some of the new titles announced at the Gamescom event so i wouldnt take it as the difinitive list, specially seeing as there were over 60+ new XBL games for WP7 announced at the event. http://www.bestwp7games.com/
Maybe MS still need to attract the attention of the major gamehouses that furnish the other platforms with the titles i think you would like to see. Once the mango update is officially released and revenue begins to flow i'm sure the better titles will come.
Have patience though, MS has the Xbox platform and all of the software contacts it needs to make this work, they wouldnt purposefully make WP7 crappy imho.
In the meantime there are some top titles in the marketplace already (sonic, harvest, PES etc...) and i'm sooo looking forward to Toy Soldiers.

I think we'd all be better off in this forum if posters of topics like this did, indeed, shoot themselves in the face.

Forza 4 Maybe, but how the hell you gonna play Halo on a phone? It's hard enough on the console.
Meh, on the phone I want games that I can take up and play for a few minues when I'm waiting for a bus or something like that, games that is fast to get into and that I can quit anytime.
For hardcore gaming a have a PC.
What about games like call of duty and black oops? GTA auto theft..?

You're joking right? You want to play these on a phone? The only hardcore game I would try on a phone is a RTS. That said, even on the casual front WP7 is doing poorly. The OS was announced 18 months ago and released 10 months ago and Xbox Live is still a joke. They should have just called it Games for WP and added the Live name in a year or two because as it is now it's doing the brand a disservice.
Oh by the way, there's no game release next week.

You gotta be kidding me.. such games are already their for android.. people say that: 'with an android phone with you, you dont need to buy those sony handhelds.. '
here is one example:

I am just giving it more time till mango .. if we continue to see current list of sub-par games like 'tic tac toe' and 'tap here to kill an ant and get achievements'.. than unfortunately i will make that switch by June. Because it is not an enterprise phone either, so if it cant help me in work than at least compensate that by bringing in serious entertainment.
The OP has a valid gripe. The horsepower is there and the talent is there. These franchises can translate to the phone. I play FIFA and NBA Jam and FPS games on my iPod touch and iphone. Why can't my Focus do the same?
