They had best have some standards for achievements.

One would hope so.

And no achievements in fart apps please....

Not for me.

Although MS announced Xbox Live for WP7, it looks like Apple is going to beat them out of the gate first with Game Center!

Just when iPhone starts to look like its fading against Android phones; and the WP7 Live announcement, Apple comes back with today's news and pretty much crushes their competition...again.

How does announcing the same features crush the competition?

I can't believe they pulled this bullshit again, unless the first time was just some bad dream i had :lol

50,000 versions of plants vs zombies and flight control.

isn't that like saying 50,000 versions of Mario Bros and Zelda? PvZ and flight control are great games.

The iPhone *does* have some fantastic games, but that comparison chart is just ridiculous. On the flip-side, every other company would do the exact same thing.


Anyone who doubts that the iPhone has great games should check out youtube videos of:

- Eliss
- Edge
- Sword of Fargoal
- Plants vs Zombies
- Charadium
- Battle for Wesnoth
- Tumbledrop
- Tilt to Live
- Space Miner
- Flight Control
- Squareball
- Orbital
- COD Zombies
- Infinity Gene
- Undercroft
- Drop7
- Canabalt
- Rolando 2
- I Dig It 1 & 2
- Zen Bound
- Zenonia 1 & 2
- Wolfenstein RPG
- Angry Birds
- Beat it!
- Super KO Boxing 2

I thought iPhone games would be annoying, but I've been shocked at the high quality of some of them. Multiplayer will consolidate titles and hopefully have a decent meritocracy element.

I don't think anybody doubts that there are good games for the platform, with 50,000 apps, there's bound to be some sweet stuff on there!

It's the fact that they are counting farts and ligthsabers in comparison to full games on the DS/PSP that is irritating.

 

[Wolves Evolve]

Yeah but we need to be realistic about the amount of overpriced shit on DS and PSP too. A fart app at .99 cents or a truly terrible PSP game is still 30 bucks US or something like 60 bucks Australian. We can talk about quality, but like, I'm not giving Imagine Abuzed Housewivez a free pass.

thankfully the silly fart apps are in a separate category from the games. It can still be a little tough to find the hidden gem games but there's no need to wade through the fart apps to do it.


big name games are as easy to find as on any other major platform.
