Windows Phone7 is shaping up too be a monster. Well as far as gaming is concerned. As much as they are concentrating on gaming,they should call it Xbox mobile7 hahahaha.
Can other people who found online photos of windows phone games post it here so we can have a collection.
Wow...
That is so fake it actually made me cry a little.
First person shooters are barely playable with a console controller; What makes you think a touchscreen will be remotely playable?!
How do you move, aim, and shoot at the same time?!
living under a rock
Where exactly have you been? Xtracts is a 3D 1st person shooter and runs perfect. They even have Doom for pocket pc. You should check online before you make silly comments. They even have Assasins Creed 3D .....where have you been?
nice

looks great even if not yet out with games, we know they will deliver a good gaming device.
Well at least at launch it will only be asynchronous multiplayer. I want realtime multiplayer and adhoc multiplayer! Hopfully it won't be too long before we get them.

Um no. Xtrakts is a 3rd person shooter, Assassins creed is a 3rd person adventure game. Doom is the only one you listed that is a FPS. You should learn what your talking about before you accuse others of making silly comments.
I h8 that way online gaming got on consoles. And that bad way jumps over to you phones and computers. Online register, payed updates, completely dependent on the vendors servers etc..
Also it is impossible to play on Phone agains Computer or XBox players ->
Mouse>Gamepad>Finger
some people love to disagree
Xtracts,assasins creed, and doom all example of complex games that people thought werent possible. Now I gone online and scoped out infomation. Iam not about to put everything I know here that would take pages. So for nagle go look online and research before you jump gun ready to attack. The information is all out there. Even my website has a wealth of knowlegde on windows phone7. I dont deal with rumors ethier , I speak on what has been confirmed by Microsoft.

Well I was in no way attacking I'm just correcting you. 3rd person= you seeing the character your playing, example xtrakt and assassins creed. First person = you looking through the characters eyes, doom is a great example of this. But as far as playing any newer FPS on a phone, yes they can make it happen but I highly doubt it would be remotely enjoyable. Even FPS on the psp suck because of not having dual analog sticks.

Thank you for confirming that it can be done. Microsoft cant afford to lie about what thier promising or thats the end of winodows mobile, Iam sure everyone agrees on that.
more and more
Also besides call of duty on ipod there is also resident evil which is very impressive. I think microsoft is going for the juggular here. They going for it finally after wasting so much time and empty promises ,,this looks to be it.
Still want to call a fake

microsoft
Now microsoft has made it where you can play indiana jones on the phone save your game and continue it on your XBOX . Thats amazing!!
The title is very misleading
The title suggests I can be playing any Xbox 360 game, online against my mates, then simply pick up my phone and carry on. This is exactly what Microsoft want - people spreading incorrect rumours that they themselves are not responsible for.
There will be some games that you can play on the Xbox 360 and then continue to play on your phone, but it will only be games that are designed to do this. This will not include the big blockbusters. As it's already been pointed out in this thread, it is simply not possible to play a fully fledged 1st person shooter (a real one - not some pretend one) on a touchscreen, with full control. It's taken years for the console developers to come up with the current controllers, and they can't be replaced with 2 thumbs on a touchscreen.
If I'm wrong and it turns out that a future rendition of Call of Duty does work on WP7, then I take all this back and thoroughly look forward to sitting at my console and seeing you online on your phone, because you won't stand the slightest chance.
not misleading at the time was posted but there have been changes
Yes when this was 1st posted Microsoft had said that you be able to play mulit-player against other players. Now that everything is finalized Microsoft has said games made with XNA will be able to be played online against XBOX players. The title has truth I never said any game . Honestly I myself wont be developing for windows phone7 , I stick to 6.5 because I dont see too many people buying this new phone.

That wasn't a silly comment.
These games may look good, but they are not of the level of games on a console platform. That particular game has 1 analog stick for both movement and looking. This will never please a real gamer. Consider that a modern day console has 2 analog sticks, a direction pad, 4 main buttons, 4 front buttons, and the 2 sticks can both be used as buttons as well as moving and looking, at the same time! That's too much to put on a touchscreen, so a phone will never be as good as a console. It's literally a completely different market.
hexage, the makers of radiant hd, evac hd, and totemo hd released a new game today called robotek hd. im a huge fan of everything theyve made thus far and robotek hd is another killer game!
you got that right! ive been playing it nonstop
omg. i discovered this on my own from the suggestions on the web version of android market and can i just say...
best. game. ever. (i think)
everything about it is so frikkin cool!
My son loves this game. I haven't been able to pry the NOOK out of his hands all day!
only bad thing about the game is you cannot beat it without spending about 12 dollars on upgrades
You got this on the Android Market? Can't find it for my Evo. Ill try the NC tomorrow.

Tried that, got everything but Robotek.
Hexage's Robotek Cheats Big Time
Don't play this game. The AI cheats big time and gets all the impossibly lucky rolls. Its hack attack is uncannily accurate while yours is so weak. Total imbalance. You have to keep paying real money to win. Don't get suckered.
I have a pretty good strategy and its allowed me to beat the toughest nodes. I have not made any inapp purchases. If you look over the readme, it explains the AI and its occasional "cheating".
This game is very beatable without in-app purchases.
Just use Titanium backup and restore if you lose.
I have over 1000 charge points at level 12 because I'm batting a thousand using Titanium.
thanks luciferii, now I'm addicted
thinking of trying totemo next.
I dont know how a so repetitive game can be so addictive...
its just too fun!
I recently finished Robotek and was able to draw a good conclusion as to why it has so many bad reviews and accusations of cheating AI on the Android Market. The dev claims the AI is "damn good" in the FAQ, but it really isn't. I finished the game with about 6500 charge, no in-app purchases, and defeated the level 50 mainframe. Lost the occasional game, but can confidently say every loss was completely out of my control.
Robotek isn't rigged, which initially crossed my mind and almost made me quit as I ran low on charge. It was a fair assumption: this is far from my first or most complicated/difficult strategy game. I knew the rules and knew what to do, yet still managed strange and irritating losses. The problem was obvious: perfect rolls, which give a powerful unit/effect/attack plus an extra turn, occur far too frequently. This is the source of all the frustration that has led so many people to ***** and moan about the gameplay. As a turn-based strategy (albeit a simple one), no amount of skill can save you if the opponent continues getting free turns while you wait idly and get pummeled.
In the early game, the player has fairly low HP and a few perfect rolls on the AI's side can quickly kill you. In the late game, you can lose upwards of 200 HP from this common scenario and still recover for a comeback win. This would explain why newer players rushed to the Market to slam the game of cheating, while those who stuck it out said winning without paying was doable and not difficult.
If the dev would greatly decrease the chance percentages of perfect rolls, then the number of complaints would go down with it. I've angrily played through too many rounds where the AI got anywhere from 4 to 8 perfect rolls, while I had none. Cheating or not, this is very poor game design and it happens frequently enough to make any sane person want to quit in anger. I recall around level 15 playing one particular mainframe and losing to it with nearly all HP intact. I played it again, using the same exact strategy as before, and quickly won with full HP. Downright silly.
To be fair, I played a number of games where I was the one with "luck" on my side. It made the game no more enjoyable and really made it seem worse. I often took stock Droid and Drone up to Hero across several turns of careful strategy, making my way towards a sound victory.. only to be rewarded with a bunch of unnecessary perfect rolls that made the whole experience feel very cheap and easy.
The other main issue is the low level of control at the player's hands. I wouldn't suggest getting rid of the slot machine, since this is obviously a unique aspect of the game. I would suggest allowing a player to choose which unit attacks which. At the very least grant the player the ability to assign the attack order! Too often an Elite or Hero Droid wastes its powerful laser on a low-HP unit or shield when a stock Tankbot could've done the job. Or my units directing attacks at a harmless messed-up Tankbot while leaving a dangerous Drone alive to fight another turn.
I think all of this masks how weak the AI actually is and simply adds an unneeded layer of frustration, causing less-patient players to jump at the in-app purchases. I gave Robotek a 2-star rating when I thought the game was cheating, and left it at 2 stars when I came to realize its actual problems.
The suggestion that this game is not rigged is just utterly ridiculous, although I agree with much of the rest of the above post. It may just be that it takes some folks longer than others to see that. There is no debating whatsoever (with me, at least) that this is a classic pay-to-win setup. 'Pay-to-win' is synonymous with 'rigged-by-design'. Yes, it is possible to win a fair number of rounds without paying a dime, but especially in multiplayer mode, your ranking will never advance very far without paying, or without using a hack or cheat of some kind (like some of the folks using Titanium backup to reduce damages). If you do not pay (and no one should), the game will make sure that the odds are stacked heavily enough against you that your wins will be limited. In other words, Robotek IS rigged.
I find this entire pay-to-win model obnoxious at best, and downright creepy at worst. It also seems to me that a person has to be especially desperate, or just a pretty bad player, in order to even want to spend money to be better able to defeat one's robotic foes.
To me this whole approach is disingenuous, and I will personally never give Hexage a dime. I'm even mean enough to say that all I wish for them is bankruptcy. However, I gather it isn't just Hexage doing this. That is unfortunate, and a weakness of closed-source, for-profit apps and app stores. Such games take on the flavor of the arcade games that were mainly after a person's quarters. I read somewhere recently that this kind of thing may be the wave of the future. I certainly hope not.
Hey xda-ers
I've been on the cm9 beta for a little while now and it seems like there are a lot of games that work quite well in the alpha and some that are a screen-tearing, frame-dropping mess. So I have the idea to start up this thread, a thread primarily dedicated to sharing which games work really well on cm9. I personally will be posting review sort of things on here that go quite in-depth but you guys can post in however much detail you want. You can post about the hardest of hardcore games to the easiest of casual games but as long as its relevant it will hopefully be appreciated. I do want to have a couple of rules for this thread and they're as follows:
*No bashing other peoples reviews or opinions- everyone is entitled to their own opinion and while I'm ok with a respectful discussion I don't want flame wars in here.
*Please keep it relevant to cm9- this thread is about _cm9_ gaming, I don't care if you go and make a gaming thread for a different rom but I don't want posts about cm7 or MIUI in here.
*have fun- don't feel obligated to post something if you don't want to. Try to have fun in here and I'll try to too.
Well thanks guys I hope we can all help each other find some good games to play, please follow the rules and hopefully this will be a nice thread to be in.
Help make this community a little nicer guys!
Thanks

Well I'll be kicking things off!
My first recommendation/review:
Dungeon Defenders: Second wave
Overview-
Dungeon defenders is a mix between a tower defense fantasy game and a traditional 3d RPG. The main premise is that the kingdoms heroes have gone off to defeat some great evil and have left their kids to guard the castle. In each area/map there is an eternia crystal that you have to set up towers and traps and such to defend from the waves of monsters.
Gameplay-
Gameplay is mainly governed by one of four classes each with their own play styles and pros/cons.
The apprentice-
The long ranged, magic user who places down towers that shoot long range projectiles.
The apprentice is the easiest class to use and is by far the best for beginners as his towers are the easiest to start off with and his skills are easy to understand and use.
The huntress-
The long ranged, assassin class.
The huntress wields either a crossbow or gun that deals long ranged damage and places down traps that activate when stepped on by monsters. The huntress can be somewhat hard to use due to her slightly less straightforward traps.
The squire-
The close ranged tank.
The squire combines melee attacks with brutal close ranged towers to destroy enemies quickly up close.
The Knight has some of the best starter towers in the game but he is at somewhat of a disadvantage without teammates to back him up due to his only close range play style.
The monk-
The all around skillful class.
The monk combines the first three classes in a Jack of all trades sort of play style. He has a melee attack as well as a long ranged magic attack with towers that deal different affects when stepped on by enemies. He is definately the hardest class to play due to his lack of a prominent skill and towers that need some getting used to and upgrades to really learn how to use effectively.
So once you've chosen a class its time to jump into the game.
There's a helpful tutorial that you can jump into but its not a super complicated game at first. Each map is made up of different rounds. At the end of each round chests will appear with Mana in them, the currency you use to build towers and buy or upgrade things after the round has ended. You also get mana from killing the various mobs that spawn throughout the wave. You also earn xp that goes towards level ups that let you carry more mana and unlocks new towers for you to build. Also when you level up you can attribute skill points to different skills such as player or tower damage, health, speed etc etc. Monsters also drop random items which you can equip or sell in between rounds.
After the round is over you can buy and sell weapons and armor, and upgrade you currently have equipped. The sheer number of weapons and upgrades you can apply to them makes it easy to make sure no two are the same.
Multiplayer-
The multiplayer element of this game is WHERE ITS AT! This game really shines through and its super easy to jump into a match and start playing as long as you have a good internet connection (which at time of writing I didn't). All you need to do is sign up for a game spy account which while can sometimes be a hassle keeps the hackers and cheaters out and keeps the fun consistent. Once you've made that account you can quick join a game or open up a server browser to pick between maps, difficulties and game modes. Once you join its smooth sailing and the different classes are very well designed to overlap and coordinate together in the multi player game modes. If you can get several friends to get this you will have a great time indeed.
Controls-
There aren't too many options for the controls but overall they're not too bad. The way to move your character is to rotate the wheel-ish joystick in the left portion of the screen. That controls both movement and direction mind you so it might take a little bit to get used to but once you do its just fine. Its hard to describe exactly how to use it because I've never seen another control scheme like it. The buttons around the other edges of the screen control other movement controls such as jumping or attacking, as well as selecting what towers to build (actual placement is done through touch input) or what abilities to activate or spells to cast. The game defaults to having the actual movement touchpad being invisible but that seems really stupid so I recommend turning that off in the settings. So while not completely perfect the controls are definately usable and should be relatively easy to learn for most users.
Graphics/Performance on cm9-
The game has a graphics slider that allows you to go from HD crisp graphics to blurry pixelated retro goodness. On the highest graphics setting the screen tearing really sets in but on lower resolution on the slider you can get very good performance on cm9. Overall it performs quite well with no hw accel and it will only get better once we get full acceleration.
Verdict-
Overall this game offers up some great RPG game play mixed in with some tower defense elements and kick ass multi player. The controls are manageable and if you want to have some long term fun, (as you can go quite in depth) this is a great choice and for a free game it couldn't be a better deal. I'd recommend it to any Android gamer and its a great game.
Price: Free
Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trendy.ddapp&hl=en
Don't feel like you have to write this much, this is simply one of my passions. Feel free to write as much or as little as you want.
If any of you wanna play multi player of this game with me, just pm me or contact me on twitter @MykeBatez
HAVE FUN

I'd love to contribute but I've found that with cm9 I haven't been able to find most of my favorite games on the market
Yeah, that's a problem, although most of them would run. Try using Apk leecher on your PC and then side loading them. Might work, but I'm not sure if you can download paid apps even if you've bought them.

One thing that doesn't work is using three fingers to access the menu. I get around this by opening up the recent apps thing and closing it, which then pauses the game, opening the menu.
Also, swiping to slow down/speed up the game does not seem to work as well.

You know... it's funny. Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, mupen64plus emulator, ran with amazing speed in CM7. However the video and colors were kinda bad. Like buttons just looked weird, and sometimes there would be random squares.
HOWEVER. On CM9, the video and graphics are superlative. However, it lags obviously. Not TOO much... I mean it's definitely playable, but if you are fighting Gannondorf it's kind of annoying. Hopefully rebellos will get this kind of thing working for us.
What you think of 'Rule the Kingdom' ?
It seems like a great idea, an rpg + sim/simcity style game.
Its free to download.
The part that I think breaks the gameplay is the huge fremium portion of the game. It takes forever to do anything unless you spend crystals, which are extremely rare unless you buy them with real money.
But without the fremium, I think the game would be great. (I refuse to spend money on fremium games)
EDIT:
Haha, just found a huge exploit in the game, so now you don't need to to buy diamonds to speed things up
The game's time is dependent on the system's time. Meaning if you go to settings and increase a day, a lot of resources you were making just finish instantly (and you get the daily chest).
There are downfalls to placing the system's time back to the real time.
What I did:
Went back to the year 2001, used the diamonds that came originally, to heal my character. Now i'm playing till i pass the game. Safely advancing the time by day. When i complete the game, i go back to today's time and wait for the new content with a loooot of resources hehehe.

I will say it right off the bat, and it goes with ANY game on ANY console; I despise freemium and pay to win. They are horrible and just scam the customer. Even when you "purchase" a game and are able to buy your way through faster and better equipment. I had a game similar to that called MyCountry and I downloaded a cheating client so I could have as much money as I wanted and actually play the game. I can't stand those. Other than that I know quite a bit of people to play that game and enjoy it, so it could be fun. Who knows.
Anyone have suggestions for similar games, pref. with no pay to win / pay to get items ?
Been looking for sim games for ages ( civ like games etc)

I am a big fan of the SimCity series and EA has a full on port of in the Play Store that is very well made. Very nice touch controls. Don't know if that's your sort of game, but I thought it was worth it. And i completely agree with the A full Touch RTS would be fantastic

Updated the original post with info to make this game free, not fremium.
A couple years back, I LOVED gaming. I can't remember a day where I didn't love to game. Anymore though, most of my gaming consists of Magic cards and Chess.
So, let me know what you guys are playing, and more importantly, why. I haven't gotten around to playing these, buy a few years back these were the games I loved:
* The entire KOTOR series. Best RPG, amazing story that branches off from the main Star Wars story really well, and you get to be a freaking Jedi. For 3/4 year old me (gosh) it was a pretty great series. Admittedly, I didn't play KOTOR 2 until Thanksgiving of 2014. I played through them both during my break, and had logged over 100 hours over it... So KOTOR consumed my break that year. It's that good. The best part? KOTOR 2 runs on Linux. I don't know why no one has made the original available on Linux but Wine is always an option. KOTOR 3 is pretty much a bigger meme than Half Life 3 at this point...
* Left 4 Dead 2. When I was a kid, my mother and I used to play it. You get to slaughter zombies. Pissed that zombies keep beating you? Well guess what? You can be a freaking zombie. Enough said. Runs on Linux too. Certainly a title very close to me. More so than Half Life ever was (yes, I said that)
* ALL OF THE FALLOUT AND ELDER SCROLLS GAMES. EVER. I started with these games at a very young age... About six. I played Oblivion religiously. Over several years one of my characters had over 2k hours of gameplay alone. It's a bit different now. When I was a kid I used to fantasize that something so surreal could one day be real. I guess that imagination is part of the reason I love technology so much... Because it's a real solution to the unimaginable. I played Skyrim, loved Fallout NV, am still trying to get through Morrowind, and blew my way through Fallout 3. I love these games. I wish I had Fallout 4, but hey, there's so many of them that you can't have them all. I haven't played TES Online either.
* Trine 2. Love the mechanics, love the stupid story, love the Linux support, and I love the graphics (even if I am blind lol). 10/10, would play again.
* Stardew Valley. I've never played it, but I've seen gameplay and it reminds me of Animal Crossing. Animal Crossing holds a special place in my heart because it was the only game my family could really play without fighting lol (sad truth). I love the mechanics and from what I've seen of it, it looks brilliant. Linux support is there too. Check it out. It's sort of like Harvest Moon but better (farming simulator).
Those are a few of my favorite picks at least. I used to game but now I really don't except for over breaks like Christmas break and the summer. School is pretty dear to my heart.
So let me know what you guys are playing. If you want to add me on steam, my username is: eyecantcu
Whoops... Sorry everyone. I'm not sure this complies with forum rules. It isn't directly related to hardware
Just to get the ball rolling on this thread:
I've always played and am still playing competitive, multiplayer games. I used to play COD a lot on the PS3 (I know, basic), and did the same once I got my Xbox One. Then eventually rocket league came to the Xbox, so I started playing that a lot, and when Overwatch was released I picked that up as well.
Now I've recently switched to PC, and on it I still play Overwatch and Rocket League a lot.
Rocket League: Love the nearly infinitely high skill-ceiling. Every time I feel like I've perfected a mechanic, I find something else to work on. Really satisfactory.
Overwatch: I just love the mix of teamwork and individual skill. You don't only have to improve your aim and positioning, but learning how to work with your team has great effect on the game as well.
Besides that, having the competitive system to show me how well I'm playing really motivates me and makes it worth playing the game.
Duke Nukem: I cut my "gaming" teeth playing Duke Nukem against coworkers on a bastardized network at my office during off hours.
Command & Conquer: We then started playing Command & Conquer in a bracket type best out of three competition. The entire C & C franchise were great real time strategy games.
Warcraft: I got my daughters addicted to these games and as a family we would play against each other. What actually happened was my daughters and my wife would gang up against me and try to completely destroy me. Most of the time they did but every once and a while I would win.
Diablo: The entire series. Every game, every expansion to date. I've always loved the game and still continue to play to the date.
Fallout: Again the entire series. I also still play one of these games several time a week. I'm way behind but just recently got Fallout 4 and the scenery in the game of gorgeous, you know for a post apocalyptic world and all.
Terraria: This sandbox type game is great for when you just want some mindless exploration in a vast and varying universe.
* PUBG. Yes, it's a little cliche at this point, but a buddy and I thought it looked fun, and now I am on my uni's E-Sports team for it.
* Factorio. Lots of thinking involved, and I love thinking and optimizing things.
* Fallout/Elder Scrolls/Witcher. For when I need to get my open-world RPG itch scratched. Have dumped thousands of hours into these series.
* Minceraft. For when I am playing with a few friends that run huge servers (I do command block stuff for them).
* Borderlands. Mindless shooting. 'nuff said.
* Final Fantasy/Legend of Dragoon. The JRPG itch never goes away. A whole world awaits each time.
I have a 2TB drive dedicated to keeping all of my games downloaded, and it's nearly full. I have lots of games that I play, but those have been the main ones the last few months.

This is general... just like any other one chatting it up about anything will be allowed so long as it doesn't descend into madness.
That said I'm still largely playing Destiny 2. I have PUBG but suck horribly and have yet to finish the new Wolfenstein.
Slowly going to catch up on the backlog until FFXV and Ace Combat 7 both hit next year. Those are my must-haves for 2018.

That is on my up next list. Looks really good.
Squad has become my go-to for a few months, now. Military tactical fps that blows my mind everyday I play it, lol.
