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.
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.

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.
Anyone know of any games like Civilization? Obviously I'm not expecting anything that deep or polished, but something similar would be great. Granted, it could possibly cause me to get fired... "Sorry boss, I'll get the phone right after this turn!"
IIRC Freeciv has an ongoing port to Android. Still not out, but something to look forward to.

Revival 2 which you can find on the market.
searching for revival in the market brings some corporate management stuff, no civ like game...
Pirates and Traders... sort of. You only control a single ship though.
FreeCol is a free colonization clone (very similar to FreeCiv) but it is already written in Java (you can even download a .jar version of the game).
I am curious how difficult it would be to port it to android.
Sadly, there seems to be no concerted effort for any of these ports.
I tried playing the PSX version of civilization 2 but damn it hadn't aged well, that and the PSX version sucks. It plays well on the emulator on my Galaxy X Vibrant though

THAT is a travesty.
It has about as much to do with the original game as the foot that I am going to plant in this game's developer's ass.
Not exactly Civ, but I've found Never To Be Konkered to be quite fun. You choose a nation and start out with one or more cities. Then you build units, upgrade your city with new buildings etc and wage war on your neighbors.
It doesn't in any way have as many features as the Civ-series, but still pretty deep gameplay.
Searching for a real civ... at least the original 1...
here are the links to games mentioned above:
Revival 2: Full | demo
Pirates and Traders: Full | demo
Never to be Konkered: Full | Demo
I'd add - if you liked theme hospital or theme park, you'll love this (at least I do):
Game dev story: Full | Demo
Anyone tried this yet?
Found this on the Freeciv forums:
http://forum.freeciv.org/viewtopic.php?t=6347&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Really looking forward to playing this and Colonization would be an excellent game for mobile too.
You can find a beta of freeciv for Android it was released a few days ago.

Its only a pre-release but its playable
May be Townsmen 6, have you try ?
Quick question,
Does anyone know of any good Flight Simulation apps for the Android?
Thanks!
X-Plane is the one I know of, it's also available on iPhone.

How is it?
I'm not normally one to play/use flight sims, but it's a high quality one in my opinion, good graphics, smooth control on my desire, and fairly easy to use, but with a lot of options. check out the site if you wanted to know more about it, just google "xplane". That's the only one I know of on android too
X-Plane is the best one. You can choose your plane, your map your Weather... you control everythings in the plane... but it cost 10$...

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X is a nice arcade flight shooter, if it's of any interest to you.
X plane is good on graphics. But doesn't have many locales. Also, you can't practice instrument approaches. Only buy it if you want to play for fun.
There are some really good iPad apps for flight simulation. Android is still far behind in this realm. Hopefully there are more apps developing.
+1 With X-Plane, a great achievement on the Platform. Am still hoping for some Retro conversions, Birds of prey for example.

X-Plane is quite a good simulator here too, I mainly play it on my Nook Color tablet though.
Curious why you say you can't do instrument only approaches? there is an instrument view where you can set the different beacon settings and you can see your glide scope etc... At least I think so. I am not a pilot, and I pretty much suck at landings so I haven't tried it. I believe I saw it in their online usage guide too.
It'd be cool if it could cache Google Maps or something and fly over.. I know the desktop version has much more detailed data in this regard and a mobile app just won't be able to, but it'd fun flying over your own house.
Great information. I plan on trying out the different sims next week, Ill let you know what I think of them.
Cheers!
@khaytsus
I am a pilot, so for me just the 6 locales are not enough. But its a great start in developing such an app which makes use of the device's gyro. Worth the buy if you want the cockpit experience.
No way! Im a flight instructor at Embry Riddle had to get the CFI, couldn't stand ifr multi or commercial. Lol.

I came across a game today that was an old favorite of mine. Called Death Rally, do some of you remember this game? Its playable on windows, and I think theres a port of it or a similar game for wm. Does anybody know of a game that similar for Android, Or even a remote possibility of someone porting a game like that for the android platform... probably a lot to ask I know!! Its just this game was epic back in its day and I would love to see this type of game on android, make for one really cool game. Maybe there's somebody here that can help me out?
They released Death Rally on market for free!
Though it's only available in Canada atm(LOL!?!?!)... The rest of the world get it in March....
