I'm loving my HD7 and the few game titles I have on it, but I want more. I've dug into the marketplace many times but, I was hoping you would recommend the gems you've found.
My Collection so far
Xbox Live
Flight Control
Flowerz
Hexic Rush
ilomilo
Revolution
Tiki Towers
Regular Titles
BowlingXX
Bubble Birds
Bubble Jump
ChicknVixens
Color Flow
Electric Beans
Fast Food
Impossible Game
Impossilbe Shooter
Putt In Golf
Quadra
SkyDiver Classic
Unite
Word Chief
Great game for me:
Pixodus.
Add Meteor Mania or Meteor Storm to it. And Scetch Defense.
The Harvest is fun to me, the graphics are amazing
I like Flowers, Hexic Rush, and Ilomilo too. Chicks'n'Vixens is OK, Color Flow gets old fast, and ElectricBeans was too easy. But they're still on my phone, so I value them to some degree
I've gotten a bit of play time from the following (free) games:
MoveIt
Scrambled Free (I play this a LOT)
Sudoku
Word Tangle Free
Yahpips (Yahtzee game)
The one paid game you don't have listed that I like to play is:
Need for Speed: Undercover
My 3 year old likes the following (free) games:
Dibidogs Chase
Final Approach Lite
Fireworks
Fishing Girl
Ice Ball
Memory Match
Paint Me
Ultra Air Hockey 2

+1. That game is pretty cool. Kinda like a mobile MechWarriors.
If you like puzzle games, Jigsaw Guru and Word Tangle are pretty good fun.
Alphajax is great if you like Scrabble. I especially love the personal statistics; I've never seen that in a mobile Scrabble game.
iBlast Moki... best port out there. Only game better is ilomilo
Been playing a lot of twin blades, I dig it and bubble birds here lately, just downloaded the new mmo game listed on wpcentral, but haven't tried it yet.
Sent from my HTC HD7 using Board Express
Max and the Magic Marker is a MUST have! It's $6.99 but worth every penny.
Impossible Shoota is also really fun, free of charge, and extremely addicting, too.
Check out Bye Bye Brain, a great zombie tower defense game.
Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express
I'd ditch Bye Bye Brain... you can play on Normal mode up to horde 50 and then it will finish
Or you can try the Endless mode and it will CRASH at horde 50.
It looks really good but the gameplay is not that varied... only one map, 5 different character units each with 3 upgrades and that's it.
Good for showing off to people but you will get bored of it crashing all the time at level 50
My fav's are TouchMeQuick (free), The Harvest (6.99), Fruit Ninja (2.99), and Solitaire Game Chest (2.99).
Try Impossible Shoota. Mindless but it is fun.

Ilomilo is awesome, haven't stopped playing it since I bought it, am on the secret eggs bit :O)
Need for Speed: Undercover is very good, as is Flowerz (Yay I'm top of the Leaderboard for that one). Chicks 'n' Vixens was enjoyable if a bit short.
Game Chest: Logic Games contains a version of Chess which you can play against your XBox Live friends online, and it is a lot of fun. I think it is the only online multiplayer games in the Marketplace at the moment but I'm sure others will follow soon.
I've been playing against people who don't even own a WP7 phone - they can play in a browser by visiting Xbox.com - the game requests show up there and an identical silverlight version of the game plays within the browser and best of all, it's free for them :O)
Final Approach... just downloaded it and its loads of fun.

er... I tried Fruit Ninja on my Focus and it was running pretty bad. It's around 15fps -ish when fruit appears.
Not sure if it's MS gamestudio ported it badly or just my individual problem

I use it on Omnia 7, and it is very fluent. It seems that it's your individual problem... Have you tried un- and reinstall?
Gang, now having all three popular major smartphone systems has allowed me to sample the gaming offerings they provide. It looks like WP7 provides the most fun and best games of all of them....simplistic and casual and high quality type games. There's a larger amount of more enjoyable games on WP7 than on iOS or Android.
I'm not a biased person and love all smartphone systems equally so please keep the rants and misunderstandings out . And am merely reporting what I'm experiencing. I'm driven to WP7 for the gaming enjoyment and spend more time playing games on it.
The current games I like and find very enjoyable for passing time are...not in ranked order:
ilomilo
Tiki Towers (I know, it's also on other systems)
iBlast Moki
Need for Speed: Undercover
Fruit Ninja (I know, it's also on other systems)
Bubble Town 2
Tower Bloxx New York
I Dig It
Parachute Panic
Jigsaw Guru
Rise of Glory
Chicks'n'Vixens
Sketch Defence
Word Hunt
Word Tangle
Peg Jump
Frog Log
Solitaire (Offscreen Technologies version)
One game that seems interesting, but I don't understand, is Pocket God. If anyone knows how to play it; what the objective is, let me know.

Agreed... Pocket God is a strange one though... I mean it really plays out like just a bunch of ways to kill your little minions with a ton of mini--games involved. Really just a game for those who love achievements.
Casual maybe, but personally i disagree. some devices/platforms have the same game with more features. Take fruit ninja for example, it has multiplayer on another platform.

FruitNinja is one of the worst port games... Glitches and missing function.
The List of Great games should not miss The Harvest
ios has games like Dead Space 2 and Infinity Blade, android has multiplayer and FPS games, WP7 is full of iphone ports or games that are more expensive than other platforms, no real time MP - I dont see how its the superior gaming platform.

Agree. Aside from the ilomilo (great game btw) and The Harvest (which i couldn't finish due to savegame crashes) most games really are more expensive ports of iOS and Android games. Dunno why xbox cheevos make 0.99c games like pocket god, fruit ninja, etc more expensive. Still, M$ needs to step it up. Currently i'm playing Real Racing 2, Pocket Legends and Dundef (cross platform online multiplayer iOS and android) which imho M$ should get for their platform
There are a lot of games I didn't include, which are no doubt excellent. But I didn't include them because I don't play them or find them casually and simplistically fun. There are similar or exact games on other systems, but I included them because they make up the entirety of the offerings that can be had on this system. When Angry Birds comes out for WP7, it also will be included in the "fun" factor of WP7 gaming.
WP7's own unique games are much better than anything comparative found on any other system.

Right, MS should put some great gameloft games like gangstar, modern combat, nova, etc.. even my old nexus one has it but i cant play it since the multitouch sucks. Dead space is another example (xperia play will be having it).. im just glad i can play dead space on ipad.. i really love that game! pocket legends is boring IMO.
Ilomilo alone is the definition of what a cellphone game should be. It's something you can play in short or long intervals, it's perfect for a handheld device, the graphics are great, the controls are flawless, I could go on and on but what it comes down to is no other mobile game compares.
I'd say wp7 has the potential to be the best of the 3, but has a ways to go before that is the case. There are some excellent games, however.
Maybe when the nextgen devices become available, better games (or ports lol) will alsp come out. But until then, my wp7 stays in the box while i play on my iP
Even a Microsoft fanboy like me can't agree the the OP. WP7 is a joke compared to iOS. Sure it may be a matter of time but as of today calling it the best smartphone gaming platform is being delusional.
Also, by the time great games like Dead Space come out on WP7 (which is also more wishful thinking, and will most likely be another port of the iOS version IF it ever does come) even better games would have already rolled out on iOS and android. Fiinal Fantasy 3, the DS version has already been announced for the iOS, Dungeon Defenders 2nd Wave already demoed for Android. Also, check out Desert Winds for the Android. These alone would make people think twice about gaming on WP7
What is tying down phones is the lack of hardware controls. When the Playstation phone comes on Android it will raise the bar out of sight. Even if there were no new games, just the PS1 emulator, it would dominate any smartphone.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/27/sony-announces-playstation-suite/
And other Android phones will get some of the benefits.
Microsoft can't compete with this, but they can at least reduce the damage if they:
-Launch an XBox phone.
-Produce a standard bluetooth controller that be added to any Windows Phone.
Then they will have to rely on new content, but can they get the necessary market share among gamers?
They are in a tough spot because they are competing against players (Nintendo, Sony) that have experience with portable gaming and existing content that can be used immediately.
Better position than Apple though.
I found another one called Krashlander. This is the pure, simplistic type, fun that really makes WP7 the best there is for smartphone gaming. Of course, the WP7-only games like ilomilo and others help it be the best, too. Of the 3 major smartphone systems, WP7 happens to be produced by the world's leading gaming company and it already, at this early age, shows.
