not necessarily - there're games with one-time fee only. see my related Bible in the Wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=The Definitive Multiplayer PPC Game Roundup

If you are looking for a MMO RPG check out Shadow of Legend..it has a pretty big client install, but it looks fun.

Games

Im having difficulty in finding games for this phone.
The only ones ive got which are worth playing are Poker and 10 pin Bowling from the microsoft website.
I keep finding flash games but they want a keypad.
What games are worth looking for? I know there is an Age of Empires game...
Hey,
heard about scummvm?
It's a lil Virtual Machine for old Games like Day of the Tentacle and Indiana Jones.
Scummvm is designed for point-and-click adventures.
There is a PocketPC Version also.
look here:

I love it, but most games are hard to handle, so you have to try a lil bit
Have fun...

Inspired by your thread i tried to search for age of empires
I found this Site http://www.filaomobile.com/
It is linked from a german site which says AOE Gold 1.25 is free downloadable for PocketPC. But it's not possible for me, to open that site, cause i'm at work and Webpages in Category "Games" are blocked
You could give a try, maybe you'll find aoe on that site.
MS are giving away Texas Hold em for free again.

[Q] Xbox live titles with TRUE Xbox live Multi-player

I have not seen this come up in a while but I am wondering and I am sure others are.
Where are all the Xbox live Titles where I can play someone on xbox live ? This is a staple of the Xbox live brand but, on Microsoft's phone promoting it, but it does not have any titles that really support it.
I was reading about a Mutliplayer racing game that is coming out Pac-man rallly but, it's only over local Wi-FI (really ? A lost opportunity here)
Does anyone know if ANY Xbox live titles WITH true multi-player besudes some card or puzzle game (is there even those ?)
iOS has it and Android has it, where is WP7's ?
Any rumor of games coming up that will support it ?
I have seen some turn based MP but those are not XBOX live. I too am looking for real-time MP games.
I'm wondering why some Indy dev has not created this yet. Even a simple game on the Xbox 360 with a Windows Phone 7 version that any Xbox live member can play (gold on the 360, silver or gold on Windows Phone 7).
I could think of a few games that it could be used....like Z0mB1es (on the phone and the 360 version), just think of playing with your buddy on the 360 as a team. The game on the 360 is $0.99 and $2.99 on Windows Phone 7...
Like i said, missed opportunity here.....

I think i get your point wrong, so you were searching for games which are multiplayer where you can play with other xbox live user over the internet.
Sadly, gravity guy does not have this function. You can only play with your friends beside you.

Games with WLAN support

So the other day I was playing Asphalt 8 during a small party and noticed it had a WLAN match option separate from the online multiplayer. I ended up having a blast with friends all racing at the same time in the same room, like the old days with mario kart but with the benefit of individual screens and more than just 4 players.
So I was thinking, which other games support WLAN? Search results are not that good, couldn't find any lists, which is why I'm starting one here
The rules are simple: post Android games that have a WLAN multiplayer option ONLY, games with regular online multiplayer don't count. Specify if the game is free, freemium or paid, and if there is a version for other OSes since there's always a friend who doesn't use android
Here's the list so far:
Asphalt 8 Airborne [freemium][iOS, BB10, WP8]
Anyone? no other games?
