tbh there still rubbish no matter what region u use imo.

how is it done any1 no if pilot wings can be put on?

you could also try to install opnmarket, that is an application like marketplace but it has a LOT more.

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 ..

i have to ask you about Crayon Physics...how do you download and install that game.
I have the executable file on my computer but it's not the same as my usual cab files, etc.
can you help me get it onto my HD2?
thanks

(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.

Gameloft NOVA

http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2009/12/02/nova-gameplay-footage/
I'm sure everyone here has seen footage of this awesome game, from the devs I'm just wondering what it would take for even a rough port to WM 6.5, including the multitouch? I've heard of iphone games being ported to other platforms without too much difficulty, and I know there's some really smart people on here, so just curious if it is in any way feasible or if it would absolutely have to come from gameloft's end. In my opinion, this is the first game truly worth the hard work it might take to port it, and I can only imagine it on that big beautiful HD2 screen.
Awesome game, hope the HD2 gets it

You are right it is a good-looking game, but porting it without a gameloft consent will be illegal, and as far as i seen gameloft.s priority is the iphone and ipod touch. I really hope they will start using wm phone.s hardware to bring such games to phones like HD2. Anyway, don.t raise your hopes too high, it will not happen soon as far as i.ve seen. (just take a look at the Avatar game on iphone, the the wm version, first one is 3d and good looking i might say, the second ... well ... see for yourself )

Hmmm Okay
I would like to write them a mail, asking them to develop games for HD2, but a need an email adress to send to, anyone got it?
first of all, we need a proper 3d driver, until then, forget about any game if you want to get some decents fps.
with no dedicated 3d hardware, games like this are imposible on HD2,

Seeing stuff like this really makes me wonder about the future of windows mobile in the consumer sector, i mean look at the games windows mobile has to offer compared to the iphone, they're pretty much all graphically terrible - some barely comparing to snes graphics let alone the ps2 standards of the iphone. Microsoft really needs to hurry up with windows mobile 7, enforce some good minimum requirements and get some good SDK's released. It's the only way we'll see any major shift in decent games to windows mobile, until then most devs will prefer to stick with the iphone or android
totally agrre with you...

Erm sorry but the HD2 has no problem playing OpenGl 2.0 games, even 3d games like xtract work fine, theres nothing wrong with the 3d driver's just how they are used.

Yeah, that's definitely wrong. There's nothing hardware wise limiting the HD2 from playing that game, I know that much. I have electopia and it has quite a few dynamic elements(sun beams, waves coming in, smoke on the horizon, reflections, numerous AI characters) all in gorgeous 3d and runs super smooth.
hmm
I playing all 3D games (xtrakt, experiment 14) without problem i thing those new Chips have no limitations for playing only we need more games..

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:

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 are all the decent games?

Is it just me or is there a lack of decent games available for the HD2. I have Xtract, and enjoy it too, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of other games around. I'm not talking rubbish time killers. I'm on about the ones with good graphics and G-Sensor integration.
Anyone shed any light?
And before anyone mentions it, I don't want an iPhone, or games console. I would just like to play a reasonably good game or 2 on my HD2.

Hi Mate,
Have you tried this;
Warez link removed
I have games such as Avatar, Assasins Creed, Sonic (total about 15 games loaded onto my HD2). Enjoy
If you want a few games for when you're bored, you can try one of these:
Experiment 13
Bejeweld 2
Ivy the Kiwi
Virtual Pool Mobile
Worms
Flight Commander
Zuma
Archibald's Adventures

You should really get the supporter version. I got multi-touch working, supporter version includes more frames to add keys (unlike the 4x3 in the free version) I think you get 7x6
More options. Ive been playing RPGs, gran turismo with no problems.
The thing is that there are lots and lots of working apps and GAMES for winmo But the problem is that most of them are very graphically UGLY! such as assassins creed, avatar, asphalt, ferrari evolution and the longest list in the world goes on! Those are all ugly! and pixelated!
ive DL an play so many games and the only ones that i keep are the ones that are graphically good. those are, and are the only ones ive have on my HD2 are
crayon physics

xtract
flight commander
starcraft
teeter
resco snakes
oregon trail (not the best, but itll do)
sbp brin evolution

simpsons 2 (not the arcade one!)

and that's it!
I have not found any good games that are both good and graphically better.

I know what you mean. I FREAKIN HATE how the iPhone/iTouch comes nowhere near the hardware that the hd2 has, but as far as games and apps it has some of the best graphics around. I know not all Windows Mobile phones have the same specs as the iPhones all do, but they DEFINITELY need to take advantage of the higher end models.\
btw, that hd2blogs is a warez site. Dunno why that idiot makes it so obvious.

don't expect much
Lets be real here guys...to be honest looking for any high caliber game currently for the hd2 is a lost cause. Unless you're playing games using an emulator (morphgear, fpsece...which I might add aren't perfect...oldschool compared to today's games, and bring a load of headaches i.e. control issues, mulitiouch issues, gamepad issues, sound issues - (be prepared to do your homework to get good playability out of them) there just isn't much being offered.
High quality WVGA games are extremely hard to find. Now bear in mind I'm not saying there are no fun games...but don't expect high quality out of the games from gameloft, etc. They don't focus on the windows mobile platforms...i.e try playing need for speed undercover on the hd2 vs the same game on the ipod touch FIRST GENERATION. The 1G Ipod version puts the hd2 version's to shame.
Zenonia 2, the new squaresoft rpg game coming out, etc...none of it is available for our precious hd2 unfortunately. I certainly didn't get the hd2 for gaming, but after using my Ipod 1g for a very long time, and coming to windows mobile for the first time w/ the hd2...I didn't really expect the huge gap in the amount of quality current generation games vs apple. I had actually thought because of the sheer hardware power, the hd2 would be a gaming powerhouse (which it could be), but I really have been blown away by the huge lack of quality game software.
Anything apple wins because of the apps available argument...it does have some truth in it (regardless of hardware specs). W/o xda I'd really be regretting the purchase.

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.

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.

[Q] WP7 Marketplace

Hi guys, i have an HTC Mozart with custom rom and i love it, but i really want to know why the market doesn't have the games that the other market have, like fifa 12, dead space ecc, i really want to play those game on my wp7
And an other question: why the price are so high (angry bird, fruit ninja ecc.)?
Sorry for my bad english
Hi,
There are a couple of reasons why there are less games. First off the WP7 marketplace is the newest out of the three app marketplaces of iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. It just takes time to build up a lot of apps, and WP7 has had the least time so far.
Since it is the newest marketplace, it prevents a lot of devs from trying the platform. For indie developers, not that much. But for larger studios there needs to be at least a certain user base before they will develop apps. I have also heard some people mention that it requires additional work to port existing games over to WP7.
This is what leads to the higher prices for the well known games like Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja. Since less high profile games have been ported over, the well known games can charge more. There really isn't an incentive for them to lower prices since they are already known on other platforms and are past the "give away stuff to get your name out phase".
Additionally, Xbox Live games seem to come at a $3 minumum, although there are a couple of free ones that just give a few points (like, 50) of gamerscore. If you don't limit yourself to the big-name games, you'll see a lot of indie ones that are free or only a dollar, and some are very high quality. The trick is sorting through them to find the good ones.

Additionally if you want a game but don't like the price watch it for a while, it might go on sale or maybe even free for a limited time.
