hoss_n2,
What sort of games are you interested in? Genre? And if you want iPhone games, why don't you just get an iPhone for Christ's sake.

LOL.......this time I did mean to quote you.........whats with all the iphone threads are the iphone forums not working lol

Never seen Xtrakt?

i quite agree with the original poster...
with the exception of Xtract, Need for Speed and Boom blocks the only other graphically decent (by which i mean 3D based) game i have seen is Call Of Duty 2 and thats a pig to play because it is not fully touch screen optimised and the lack of hardware buttons is a pain on the HD.
Yet as stated the hardware on this any several other HTC devices allows for great graphical acceleration.
so come on game devs lets have some!

maybe after microsoft marketplace comes out winmo users will get more iphone like games, which should be later this year i think

Why not check out this list of games which works FULL SCREEN on the HD

i think this guy means, why in the hell does aplle has such nice apps and for certain nice games for such a crappy phone.. And while our super Diamond doesn't have any cool games except the games from 20 years ago when our pc's were still working on the first windows edition.. I mean come on..
No effence on the people on this forum who are making such nice apps and games.. Cause you guys rock!! and make my diamond look more amazing!!
In that i must give apple a cheer, cause htc has developed a verry nice phone but a lack on software and games.. Cause why does my diamond has such good hardware but there's no software to play with it..
iphone the world talk about. That's why it going to get more games than htc diamond. htc diamond is more for insider for fan. I have iphone and htc diamond. I use most of the time htc diamond. But I think iphone is better. Just htc has win mobile. Which I can have more prog than iphone. but it will change.

I think people seem to forget (or don't know) that the Diamond is a Windows Mobile and doesn't need Diamond specific apps/games (apart from missing functions like g-sensor).

You've seen the games on the apple site and even dare to compare with the crap wich you even have to pay for, don't get me wrong if it is a good nice looking game okey, but this is rubbish.. i mean the diamond does have a graphics accelerator card though? Games on the apple site you can play them with g-sensor, steering gas brake that kind of stuff.. I have some games on my diamond to, but i mean why doesn't htc design some programs or games for their Diamond?? They could make a lot of money with that to.. thats what i'm saying.. developing a good machine, but leave it there.. no apps or games for the diamond..

Because HTC are a hardware company, not a sodding software publisher that's why! They're not in the market of making games any more than Ford design tyres or sell paint.

No one has 'left it there', there are shedloads of games and applications all over the place for the Windows Mobile platform; indeed there's far, far more available than there is or probably ever will be for the iPhone.
I have a HTC Diamond and love it....but for games I use my PSP...
Come on you have to admit, Windows mobile games are pretty basic compared to....These Iphone screen shots

Irony...I love it!
Sorry but i would never pay for a WM Game. They are really crap. My girlfriend has the 2g iphone and i've got the diamond. I was rubbin it in her face that i was getting the best mobile phone(Diamond).I Was Wrong. But to be honest i'm really thinking of getting rid of it for the 3g iphone.
The games and apps on iphone are far superior. Graphics and gameplay! Plus there's loads.
No video calls on iphone. So what, video calling is probably the crappest invention. I don't know anybody that uses it.
Iphone has gps using Google maps which aint too bad.On the Diamond I have had a gps fix one and i've tried every Radio version. Could be where i live but iphone works here.
Diamond has a better screen resolution. GREAT! No not really. Crap how small is the screen. Besides the iphone looks miles better quality.
Don't get me wrong i love both phones. I'm not a h8r.
Just stating the facts.
One more thing.
If the Diamond was as stable as the iphone. People wouldn't have to spend all there time cooking roms instead of using there time to make Brilliant games.
Thanks for reading just wanted to have my say. Plz don't think i'm starting an arguement
You're entitled to your opinion doinbox and I respect that, but having tried both the iPhone 3G and HTC TD I'm sticking with the TD. It can do so much more than the iPhone. Here's just a few of its advantages, IMHO
Sync with my office documents,
Picture messaging
Video
Cut and paste
Swappable battery
Bluetooth stereo music (A2DP)
Has a higher, sharper screen res, which helps me big style.
A better camera
Physically it's also noticebaly smaller and fits easily in my jeans pocket,
the iPhone is quite big by comparison.
If I just wanted to play the arcadey style games on an iPhone I'd buy a PSP instead.
Blah blah blah.. iPhone vs Diamond again.. But you all are right. We need better games for our Diamond
Iphone
Hi there,
I don't see the issue of the initial poster here. There are far more games/apps (and by god better ones) available for Windows mobile and there always will be.
The IPhone is a peace of crap in a nice jacket and with s*** loads of PR thats wy it's popular but it doesn't make it less crappy. They make you pay for every little thing and in the end they will make you pay even more. If you want that then thats fine, i don't.
doinbox:
Code:

I hate to bring this to you because this is a straight out lie.
People make Roms because they like to fiddle around with OS stuff and to twink the hell out of it for fun, they don't do this because the Diamond would need it, a 1.93 stock rom runs perfectly stable and fast.
It is time for you to wake up and get ur facts strait. The Touch Diamond beats the Iphone in every way possible (hardware/software).
Just the fact that we lucky bastards can even change our own OS makes the Diamond superior over the IPhone in my book.

I'm Quite sure the biggest htc diamond fan in the world would admit its not perfectly stable and fast.
Didn't You read my post properly. I own a Diamond so i know from my own use its not stable. Funnily enough i just had it replaced today because it kept crashing on me. Even with l8st firmware.
I like the Diamond but i have paid for games and apps and none of them are better graphics than iphone games such as monkeyball or crash bandicoot kart or the fish app the water looks so real when you touch it. You post a link here to an app/game with graphics that good that would run on diamond and i'll hold my hands up and say i'm wrong. But i've seen and tried every game on wm6 and i know i wont be seeing a link from you.
Stop being so defensive over the Diamond everyone knows its full of problems. Well maybe not on the Hardware side, but WM6.1 is Terrible and nobody can deny that.
doinbox
I won't go into a flamewar with you, if you like IPhone thats fine with me. I love my Diamond and i think its way better then the Iphone maybe the right software for it is getting there a bit slow, so what ....
greetz
Caved
guys, guys, what's the point arguing?
we all know there are people who adore iphone and there are people who wouldn't trade their touch xy for the world. these two phones are simply aiming each at a little different clientele, and let's leave it at that. otherwise it's just an ideological discussion...
as for the games, the thing about the wm games is that there are thousands of them, some better, some worse, but because (naturally) the majority of them has been developed for the wm 5 or even 2002/2003 editions, they're simpler than the new ones, with simpler graphics, worse resolution etc. and all iphone games are developed to utilize the iphone fully.
so just look for the newer wm6 / diamond games and stop complaining about the old games being crap. and remember, games are developed for wm platform, meaning also for weaker devices, not only for our diamonds
personally i know of multiple cool games for the wm6, e.g. teeter, ccsnake, worms world party, tennis addict, open transport tycoon deluxe, resco bubbles, bubble snooker, pocket bowling, etc...
doinbox, yphone has better apps & Games? Really, where? GPS is using google maps? Yep and that thing is actually completely useless compared to Tom Tom, iGO e.t.c. I wonder why apple included GPS in the first place.
Apps? There are none. And with the power of pocket informant, One Note Mobile, Word e.t.c WM beats iphone hands down.
As a phone WM platform is much more convinient. It takes less keystrokes and time to call somebody or send SMS|MMS\E-Mail.
The only thing where iPhone really shines is the web. Big screen+Safari is a perfect solution. Diamond and Opera don't even stand close.I don't thing even Touch HD will help. But unforunatly there is no stable ICQ client for iphone, yet.
So the only thing left out - games. But if u open your eyes and look around you will find enough high quality games for WM which use 3d accelerator. Just an example http://www.clickgamer.com/products/pid_5660/screenshots/ppc/large/ss2.gif
Anyway stop whining here and get an iphone

Games like Teeter?

hi does anyone know if there are any games like Teeter?
I enjoy it and just wondering if any similar
Thanks
resco bubbles: http://www.fuzemobility.com/resco-bubbles-gsen-addictive-game/
It's like teeter but you need to pop bubbles in order and the boards are textured so the ball acts differently...really neat
also Marble Worlds which is similar but slightly more of a traditional game: http://www.fuzemobility.com/marble-worlds-2-released-g-sen/
I wonder why the Windows Mobile platform gets so few games. I guess WinMo users have the sense to play games that are meant for gaming.

Well there is that and the fact that winmo has tons of emulators. Wait till marketplace comes out then we will get more accelerometer based games.

I would like to know any emulators that work with the TP2 I'm kinda missing my spring mogul.(NOT REALLY TP2 ROCKS!!!)
While I like games as much as the next guy, I would like to see them incorporate the accelerometers into more APPS as well. This is one thing that the iSore, er...iPhone does well.

Gameloft has FINALLY pulled through for Android!

Asphalt 5 go check it out and buy it so gameloft can continue to bring great 3d games to android
Bout time Gameloft! don't get why they haven't moved into Android much yet.
It's prolly because Google doesn't lock down the OS like Apple does so people aren't as inclined to spend on mobile games when they could just as easily play classic games on emulators...
awesome game but it's really choppy for me.

lol ya me too..when i posted this i hadnt really tried the game yet ahahha raging thunder is much more stable..but if more people buy it the more support they will have for it and the more games they will release
The only thing i need now is acces to paid apps
I just scrolled through their iphone/ipod touch games, and there are quite a few that looks pretty cool, if google could just open paid apps up for some more countrys, then i think that we would see alot more high end games for android.
Game is nice but still not up to N1's potential....
Apparently its more stable on other phones such as the Droid. Real kick up the balls cause the graphics look smooth and the game has always been great since the .jar versions lmfao
Hopefully they will tweak it out for the N1 cus this thing should run fine on it really.
Yeah, the N1 is definitely stronger CPU-side, but the Droid owns the N1 as far as GPU ability...the N1 is a much more productive phone.

fpsece was one of the reasons I really wanted a HD2.... what other phone can you play playstation games at full speed with multi-touch onscreen controls. Just so you know... you need the supporter version to get multi-touch capable version. It's worth it if you have a HD2, though.
still, the lack of NATIVE games is present. Sure the games can be emulated but hey, is that really all there is? If I look at my girlfriends iPhone and what she has available and if I then look at the quality it really pains me that WM is such a pain in the ass, sometimes. Not that I'll ever switch to Apple, Apple is evil, but what developers for WM deliver to us is really poor, regarding games!

Sadly the game support for the HD2 is not great. It's made worse by the fact that a lot of the games don't work well on a capacitive screen with it limitations when compared to a resistive screen + stylus.
It's also odd that Android SH!Ts all over Windows Mobile when it comes to gaming. Not sure why because there are some. Add that to the general restrictions of MS and WM and it's not looking good for WM.
I'm selling my HD2 and got myself a Milestone in the interim. I'll miss the huge screen and TomTom but Android is lightyears ahead of WM. And as a bonus I can also have more than one active sync account with push enabled....YES!
There is no limited games on HD2...

I hate to say it but I too preferred gaming on the iphone 4, a much much much better selection of quality games, online networks like plus, openfeint, game center etc, much better looking games, plus you got all the big name developers and indie developers making games for ios too.
Android gaming is absolute rubbish in comparison to ios, hardly any games or developers, even less quality games, the marketplace is terrible, we get poor ports from ios, none of the big names like backing android.
I love the plays gamepad but there isn't actually that many decent games to even play on it, just lucky gameloft released a few good games!
I honestly can't ever see android gaming taking off, android gaming is a total mess, the idevices already won that fight ages ago.

I didn't know people were actually using the Play to, umm, "play" anything else but emulators.
Smartphone gaming is much more casual-oriented and socially-related than console gaming will ever be, and this includes the XPlay. Plus, it seems much easier to justify spending $5 on a smartphone game than on a console game's DLC.
Sony could make a dent if they could leverage on the PlayStation side of things, but then, they shoot themselves on the foot by separating PSN purchases from the "PS Store" ones. Hell, I bought Medievil already in PSN, why should I be paying for it again for the Play? And why the exact same amount, 5 euros? Have you not amortizised the game enough already???
And let's forget about the PSX old games, what about the Minis? Fitting those in the XPlay PSStore would rapidly fill up the XPlay catalogue with more casual-oriented and socially-related games, many of them exclusive to the system... But again, we're busted. We get three stores, one with old, Sony-only PS1 games which people won't pay for if they have done so in the PSN store; one with its own issues as is the Android Market, and that PlayNow abortion which I can't really understand.
As Newtype says, one would do well in buying this device with open eyes, remembering that its only really perfected use isn't provided by Sony itself, which is emulation gaming. We're buying a Pandora with a phone and a hip design.
Could you play in cordy smoothly? I've got xperia play and this game is really laggy at my phone

I hate to say it but I too preferred gaming on the iphone 4, a much much much better selection of quality games, online networks like plus, openfeint, game center etc, much better looking games, plus you got all the big name developers and indie developers making games for ios too.
Android gaming is absolute rubbish in comparison to ios, hardly any games or developers, even less quality games, the marketplace is terrible, we get poor ports from ios, none of the big names like backing android.
I love the plays gamepad but there isn't actually that many decent games to even play on it, just lucky gameloft released a few good games!
I honestly can't ever see android gaming taking off, android gaming is a total mess, the idevices already won that fight ages ago.

lol
remember sega? how big were they when they came out.. now look at them
so the same could happen to Idevices
so your basicly saying just give up if something is better than u..
dont try and be as good as something else or even better it?
competition is one of the main reasons fones and consoles are as good as they are today
companies trying to create the better device to there rivals

i didnt say what they was killed by
was just saying how big they were and now there not
same as idevices big now but who know what the future brings
Playstation 1 and 2 were one hell of a lot more pirated than Sega's consoles, or Nintendo's as well. Who pirated Genesis, MegaCD, Sega Saturn, N64 games?
Piracy is a consequence of popularity... It cannot kill companies, no matter how good an excuse it makes. Sega was killed by its own mistakes with the MegaCD/Saturn generation, and they didn't have something like Nintendo's GameBoy cash cow to subsidise that failure. The Dreamcast was a beautiful swan song...
