Hello guys,
Had the Prime for a month or so and I do really like it. But i've got a few questions that would improve my experience. Sorry to be a n00b.
Firstly, is there any good services where I can stream music and movies to the Prime? I don't mind within reason any subscriptions etc
Secondly, Splashtop is meant to be good for gaming over LAN. But most games i've tried don't work at all. I've tried games like Minecraft but the camera just spins around in circles. I thought i'd try C&C but with no right click it just doesn't seem possible. Can anyone recommend and games that work well over Splashtop?
Finally, are there any good 3D games for the Prime? I've got the usual ones, GTAIII, Riptide, Gunslinger etc
Thanks everyone
my two cents
as for videos, i've got netflix and love it, even got rid of my cable provider and use an appletv with netflix and save a pile of cash a month.
try slacker radio for music.
3d games... Pocket Legends or Star Legends? not the BEST for 3d but they're mmo's and fun

Thanks, i've subscribed to Netflix but refuses to let me login on the tablet :S
I've downloaded Pocket Legends, not tried it yet but heard its a lot of fun, also downloaded Soulcraft which looks good.
I'll try Slacker Radio, thank you

anytime, i'm always happy to help. i'll keep my eyes posted for anything new that falls into these categories and throw them into this thread as i see them or hear of them. best of luck w the pad... as for pocket legends, those bums got a good load of real money off of me from the game's launch until january of 2011 then i had to quit, it was killing me and my bankroll for doodads like the prime. so amazing how quickly you can spend cash when saying... ooh i can pay $2 and make my guy fart on people any time i want?
but stuff like that makes me smile, so i really dont mind until the bill comes in lol
Well, I've tried Spotify but didn't really like the overall audio quality. Depending on the kind of music you like I can heartly recommend di.fm (Digitally Imported), but the only play electronic music. Both services have paid and free options, I've used the premium for both. I've ditched Spotify, still use di.fm.
I'm not really into games, sorry... so can't really comment you on this. Both streaming and native... :-(

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

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.

Same here mate. I'll be on WM6.5 until my contract runs out (early next year) and then I'm on Android.

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.
Ever wanted to see how a game would play on your nook color? Did't want to risk the 15 min refund?
Here are some awesome games running on my NC filmed for your delectation!!

Thanks for taking the time to make that vid, it was pretty enjoyable to watch. I got jet star stunts, but guerilla bob seems to force close on cm7. It's good of you to show the world that the Nook is actually pretty damn capable for gaming .

never had a single problem with Guerilla Bob on Cm7
Thanks for taking the time to do the initial review for these games, a quick question regarding some of the games, how do you save your points within the games? Since the NookColor only has one key? Do some of the games have a menu button embedded in the game? Thanks for the help in advance!
Very cool video. I've watched it a couple of times already. Bought Armageddon based on it. It would be useful if you could note what OS you are runing and your clock speed.
Oh wow, thank you so much for taking the time to do this. it's awesome.

I did some videos of some of my favorite games. The gameloft games can be tricky to get to work however.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxdydqeFt_0&feature=related
I grabbed that Dungeon Defenders ( 1st game ) after watching this video, but I can't seem to get it to play without stuttering alot at the beginning stuff. Is this just the way it is or do I need to do something else to it? I think the game will play ok, not sure yet. It seems just like the cutscene video stuff like How To Play and stuff doesn't work.
Anyone running this and having it work right? Any suggestions?

yeah it's pretty poor until the game starts
Great video!!!
this app works surprisingly well on my touchpad. i figured i'd create a thread for it since it's no longer a free trial and there are no refunds if you decide to purchase it. i was able to skip ahead in games with minimal hesitation. i think league pass is perfect for tablets (due to the large viewing screen). twitter feeds/news was a pretty neat touch, as well as customizing it for your favorite team. i'd suggest getting the broadband option if you're going to purchase it. the mobile quality was pretty gross 90% of the time since it was designed for small screens (i'm assuming).
anyways, i'm in the process of picking up the broadband version:
http://www.nba.com/leaguepass/index.html
I was using it during the free preview and it is amazing. Quality is great on the Touchpad as well as on my SGS2. I bought NBA League Pass on cable so I have access to broadband as well. Definitely worth the price if you're an NBA fan.
NBA code
Someon can tell me de HTML code that you when you are using NBA league pass? I think is console.jsp....
can you tell me where I can download the apps? I searched every where.....thanks I bought lpb but I was watching games on nba.com, but it stops most of the time....but it works totally fine on my laptop.....

Get the NBA Gametime app from the Market.
Title says it all. I don't want to train or have to do stupid stuff. I just want to pitch and hit and have decent gameplay.

I've played Homerun Battle 3D on both the Galaxy S2 and my Prime. What I like most about this game is being able to battle others from around the world online and acquiring better gear as you get better.
Was playing the free version for awhile, but bought it when it was on sale:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.com2us.HB3DLITE&feature=search_result
EDIT: Oh btw, it's only batting so no pitching.

And, OP, I've heard of a really popular one. Its called real life(jk). But, afaik, there aren't any good ones.
Sent from my tf9001 with XDA XD.
If you don't mind a baseball game that looks a little cartoony, Baseball Superstars 2011 (Paid version) is your best bet (I would say 2012, but the "freemium" nature is a bit annoying, though I would say I played an entire season and didn't need to buy anything).
The game is surprisingly deep (lots of options and strategy), and really fun to play. You can play the quick games if you want to avoid training, etc
I'm going to add my opinion on this. For a true, manager, pitching/batting team experience, baseball superstars 2011 or 2012. For an arcade, with buying uniforms, DeMarini (Vexxum, CF4/CF5, M2M, Vendetta), Voodoo etc. go for Homerun Battle 3D .... you can play users all over the world. I've played that for the last 1.5 years, recently i moved to Homerun Battle 2, which adds more batting options, characters (you can be a woman), stadiums to play at (outer space, hell, island) and different levels of attaining gold balls (you can play Duel, Survival where your health drops down and you pick which type of ball to throw to your opponent and try to get your health to the top, and Mission mode where you can play 4 other players at the same time and you have to win a certain "mission", say, hit 6 homeruns without a strike). You can also play single player in HB2 and there is a new option as well called "Burning" which will give your thumb pads a workout after playing 5 minutes (mine went numb).
Homerun Battle 3d was my favorite for years now. Both HB3D and HB2 have trial modes so you can play them before you buy
The best one is the one missing the Yankees.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
Baseball Superstars 2012, it's not a sim experience, but it's fun to play and has enough depth to keep you interested
oh yes, i forgot:
9 innings: pro baseball 2011 by com2us
pitching, batting, infielding. search for com2us
Thanks all I check out Baseball Superstars 2011. Didn't like BS2012.

Do you prefer a simulation type game or one that is more simplified into a scenario type game? We are close to launching a multi-level scenario game. If you want to keep posted on release date you can follow @kidkgame on twitter

I've played this game for months now and haven't bought a single thing, although you do have the opportunity to buy some unique outfits. Unlike some other games you're not required to buy anything to progress in the game...

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)

Im surprised there are not more real time startegy games for android, as real time strategy and touchscreen controls seem to go hand in hand if done right

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
