Not yet... if you want this to happen than you're gonna have to make Windows Mobile popular...
It's like in high school, all the popular kids get spoiled, while the ones who deserve it never get it.
It's a shame.

winmo is popular !!
look at us

Well that is because this is our community. If you walk into the apple forums you will realize that there are also an apple community. If you subscribe to apple reviewers on youtube, you will realize that there are a lot of apple reviewers. Wash out your perspective and look into other evidences as facts.

You should just get iPhone if you want games.

Nah iPhone games suck...they're mostly mini-games anyways.
I say get a PSP.

yes they suck in the traditional gamer sense but many are actually quite entertaining to just waste some time.

But if he wants phone in the same package. Wolfenstein 3D sure doesn`t suck

Uh... There are tons of games for windows mobile, including emulators. How could anyone get the impression that there's no games for windows mobile?

There probably aren't many games which revolve around the sensor (yet), simply because not many devices have one.

why are the games so poor on marketplace

hi why is this ? im sure the hd2 could handle more? where can i find some better games an apps

Your list may be incomplete. Try MarketPlaceRegionSwitch.

great list of HD2 games

I use the HD2 mainly as a business phone but I have to say, games suck for Windows Mobile. Especially because the likes of Experiment 13 and Crayon Physics (check them both out) show the potential. It's one of the reasons I may switch to a different OS next time round (if the other OSes get Exchange Support nailed).

So true, games for Windows Mobile SUCK ASS in comparison to all the other OSs. I mean, the iPhone doesn't have a 1Ghz processor, but it sure as hell supports games that would make you believe it does. Gotta hate WM market and development for it. Just the crappiest combo all around.

I wouldnt say that at all. i have at least 20 solid games with amazing graphics. on the other hand marketplace sucks in general due to the way Microsoft threw it together. useless search engine to get anything or even know what you're getting is any good for the money you spent!!
overall, there's hope for windows platform, just do research outside of the marketplace. im very happy with my programs. one of my most favorite is garmin mobile xt with 2011 maps. my games... zuma, bejeweled 2, Kiwi, archibald adventures, boneyboy, zeus quest, melt down, xtrakt 2, spinballs, electropia demo, super ko boxing, tower defense, sonic spinball, atomic cannon v3, experiment 13, 10 games for betting. I could go on all night, but again i've been a ton of research outside of Marketplace because i know its useless and over priced at that.

i find it wierd.. with the GREAT amt of pay the folks at MS earn, they might as well hire me because any idea from me will be WAYYYYYYY better than marketplace..
yes i am upset.. the other os will gain more and more users due to their robust apps scene ..

(Sorry a little tired to be of more help but...) if you find the game's original website, they have a mobile version to purchase/download - it is not the same executable as you have on your PC (although similar levels I believe).
A bit of googling should be your answer

To be honest all those games are always repeated when this sort of discussion comes around. Some of those games (like Xtrakt) only work with the hacks that some people have given meaning they are not FULLY compatible (anything that needs a work around to work shouldn't be considered compatible). Same with Experiment 13 since the Gsensor should work for that too. The other games are alright, but nothing to cheer about. Some are simple puzzle games that are recycled into different graphics. Some have lame graphics, but are fun to play (atomic cannon is great and probably the best of all you posted). If you look at the iPhone/Android section of games SOMEHOW they are supporting 3D graphics with fluid motion. Newer and different versions of games come out for their platform too. WM is so rare to have someone develop something new for it. Especially recently with the OS going out the window.

Better games

hey guys. I just thought.. since we can find the thread for developers working together to port android / linux n stuff like that onto the hd2, with a bounty as well..
Why not better games for the hd2? im pretty sure the hd2 can handle games with as good graphics / gameplay as the iphone. or probably even better. but its so tough to find fun games that get u addicted.Even if u do, u probably have to pay like 10-15bucks or more for it. I honestly think that's just crazy.
I know this might be because the hd2 is one of the few WM phones that has incredible specs..the first with multi touch support as well, therefore not many developers are willing to develop games for WM, which probably only hd2 or the toshiba phone can support. I'm hoping some of the great developers on xda can help us hd2 users out!
I've got some of the better PPC games like Prince of Persia n Assassin's Creed and all.. but honestly, as much as I hate to say it, look at iphone games. Graphics are easily better. It also doesnt have to be too complicated ? short simple games just to kill time when say.. ur friend is late in meeting u or something like that would also be cool, as long as it has awesome graphics n good gameplay
I also think all hd2 users would greatly appreciate it if the games made use of multi touch. I have the Asterix n Obelix game with a virtual gamepad,which i really like. But it doesn't support multi touch n that's just kinda disappointing..
Haters can hate all they want. Sorry if i get anyone upset, im a Newbie here. It's well known that though overall the HD2 can kick iphone's ass.. in terms of gaming, we can't really put up much of a fight

You need to look a bit further mate.
For starters there is FPSECE... a full speed fully functional playstation emulator (with MultiTouch for HD2). Meaning you can play the entire library of PSOne games on your phone.
Then there is morphgear... also an emulator... capable of playing the entire library of NES,SNES, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance and GameGear titles.
I dont care what anyone says... i very much doubt that the iPhone has as many quality games as the original Playstation let alone all the other consoles on top of that.
Happy Hunting!

Also... before anyone says anything... yes the IPhone has a Playstation emulator also but:
a) you will need to jailbreak your device to use it
and
b) It is a complete joke compared to FPSECE
see comparison here:

thanks a lot for your comment man. and yea i know bout FPSECE, thinking of getting the supporters version for multi touch support and all too. lol. but i dunno i kinda like simple games too, just to kill a few minutes if say.. im waitin for a friend or something like that. games like paper toss or bubble wrap are pretty fun too. and yea i know about WiToss, but even that's not as good. And just so everyone knows.. i am not an iphone fanboy in any way. lol. i love my hd2 way more than the iphone. just wished the hd2's specs were made btr use of.

yea.. the whole problem is because HD2 is one of the only few windows phones that can support better graphics, while still providing smooth gameplay..
anyway, guys check out http://wvga.pda4you.org/.
pretty good collection, updates regularly, free!

i agreeeee!!
i agree completely with what you are saying football fan! i too love my htc hd2! but it almost appears like developers are just not interested in making "clever" and "simple" yet still entertainer games for hd2. btw every time i look at the marketplace i almost laugh and how inferior it is to the app store (also not a iphone fanboy, but have to admit i am a app store fan boy for the time being!)

Is there a car driving game with g-sensor support? Asphalt 4 HD don´t work with g-sensor.

Hi there guys, i know its been quite awhile since anyone posted here..
I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in sharing their top few games for the hd2, on fpsece and any other games? I'm sure some of us might learn bout games that we have not heard about before
FPSECE
-Street fighter alpha 3
-monster rancher
-gran turismo 3
others
-Zuma
-super ko boxing 2
-colorstone's Tower Defence.

Where does one get "HD Games" for the HD2?? (Droid beating WM?)

Hey been getting irked abit that the windows marketplace sucks.. I know EA has games on their site one can download.. however.. if you noticed lets take Need for speed games. WM version looks o.0 crap. While Iphone and hell Droid versions of the game are \o/ and fun with motion control.
Now Im sure the HD2 has some good things too.. but where are they hiding? Anyone know? Or is this online game world turning into iphone droid only (For the best gameplay stuff)

Quite like Asphalt 4d - motion control is a feature but I turned it off. Xtract (free) is good too with nice graphics. If you want really good HD style games though on the HD2 get the playstation emulator and you'll never look back (and other phone owners will be very jealous). There's a free version but it's worth getting the supporter version as it makes it a lot easier to control the games. Search "tekken 3 on hd2" on youtube and you'll get the idea.
James

So the supported version plays better on HD2? I tried the regular one before.. didnt get anywhere with it.. Now before I do get it... is it enjoyable WITHOUT Cobolt ps3 controller software?
I guess im more annoyed that the only reason I like my iphone 2g.. is just for its games.. has some nice ones, even my G1 has nice ones, then I have my HD2.. and all I can say is "My Puzzle Quest is fun.." >.> Yea.. heh.

totally agree that there aren't that much quality games for hd2, but you might give a go to:
Electopia
Experiment 13
OddBlob
Platypus
Catcha Mouse
Police Range
Super Boxing
Tiki Towers
Droplets
These are really good games and I would say that their quality even matches the ones made for an iphone.

You're right. The game selection sucks. Lots of the developers are saying it's just too hard to develop a nice graphics game for Windows Mobile. While some like Xtrakt or Project 13 are ok, they aren't fully supported. They require little work arounds that I just feel makes the games not live up to the "fully supported" title. They just work. Then there are some that are just sprites cut into different poses like the ones Zarpy makes. They aren't bad but not the high def like you're asking for. So far, yeah the PSX emulator will be your best bet. It's pretty much the only one worth having and paying for in my opinion.

there are abunch of games just have to look.

Sorry

Dont forget about Cops nad Robbers

Pls stop posting Warez links....
There are plenty of games out there but we dont need Warez links round here.....
If you want a list of what games are available try here
Or here is another one I found
There are tons of these threads about... Just Google it..
Plebs posting Warez is getting worse these days.....
Here's anther thread I want closed out...
Do you want XDA to loose its credibility and get shut down?
You want something? Go and pay for it like the rest of us!

Eroc, one can search sure, but you got any links to what your posting? Now that blogspot had some good apps I needed. Like the Jspa program manager.
Snowblind what are you on?? Who is asking for Warez?! Im asking what games are good that are in higher quality. Marketplace sucks for finding anything decent, even going to EAs website doesnt give you much. Yet the HD2 came with some "HD" versions of games. yet you cant find them.
Now forum posts I know there is a "Apps thread" and so, however its not like its linking "Hey here is EA, Gameloft, website for HD2 games" or so.
So again, so far no warez links are on this thread, nor was it being asked for. Im just getting annoyed that Android phones of the same thing for HTC are getting better games then Windows mobile is.

Why is gaming on Android still lacking of great companies?

I don’t understand why gaming companies such EA, Capcom, Square Enix, etc don’t offer the same amount of games that we can easily find on App Store?
I used to have on my iPhone games like, SF 4, NBA Jam, Dead Space, Metal Slug, Dragons Lair a many others that I cannot find on Android market.
Is there any explanation for it? Android as far as I know is the most popular OS so why those companies don’t develop games to Android?
And I know I can get ROMs for some games (like Neogeo – Metal Slug, King of Fighters etc) but it’s not the same, those ROMs are not really developed for Android, they are adapted so for me we cannot have the best of it.
Wouldn’t be cool to have a SF 3D for O3D? or Dead Space 3D?
Which games, in 3D, would you like to see it?
The only big company that I can see doing a great job is Gameloft, apart from them the rest is rest at the moment.
Shame that they are not treating Android with respect.

Several studies have shown that Android users are much less keen on buying apps than iOS users. Therefore, the large gaming companies you mentioned probably estimate the market for complex Android games is too small to be lucrative.

Perhaps they are not willing to buy because there are no "good games" at the moment?
I have bought 3 3D from Gameloft and will be buy more from them very soon.
In my opinion it is just a matter of what the marketing is offering if there is good games people would pay for it.

I think it may also be because android users are innate hackers. Kind of kills their bottom line.

If we really get "Onlive" on our Android devices like it was announced, gaming is going to take another direction. Try "onlive viewer" and check what gaming is all about.

I don't agree with that, it would be same idea for game consoles.
The gamers know that it is possible to get pirate games online and unlock their consoles, but I do believe that it's not everybody that does that and the same you can say about Android.
You have millions of people using the system and it's impossible to think that all these people would be hacking their phones.
Even iPhones can be unlocked (Jailbreak - Cydia) where you can get free stuff as well.
I really don't see much of logic if this is what these companies are thinking.

Have you ever tried to hack an Xbox? I'm a pretty tech savvy Guy and I can't do it. It all hangs on security, and mobile phones lack it for the most part. I personally would release to xbla instead of a mobile platform.

Its pretty easy to hack wii/xbox360/ps3 i have done that on all my consoles easy to hack iphone also android everything are hackable! So thats not a good excuse that the big companys dont make the good games to android its all about money and tactics from apples side. But as seen now it very soon will change alot more ppl having android phones today. Apple is at top now but they are close to fall in near future a company are at top for awhile but sooner or later its going to fall. Also its another reason that apple will fall steve jobs have quited. He is pretty good to talk so he had done alot for the company just becouse of hes way to talk about apple product! so hopefully in near future the game companys see its alot money to earn at android too just look at gameloft they earn pretty good for those android games becouse thats quality games its worth to pay for!
