Okay, so I just spent half an hour looking through the Android Market at the top games and apps, and haven't really seen anything that catches my eye!
Now, maybe it's just me, and I'm being a little too fussy, but I really don't seem to be able to find a good, highly addictive long term game.
Current Games - Mark /10:
Doodle Jump - 6
Blood and Glory - 7
Cut the rope - 4
Enchanted Realm - 6
Fieldrunners - 8
Flight Control - 4
Fruit Ninja - 5
Great Little War Game - 6
Gun Bros - 5
Tap Tap 4 - 5
Zynga poker - 2
Unblock Me - 9
As for interesting apps... I can't find anything :/
Any help and advice would be nice?
Thanks in advance!
I have been searching for that game you are looking for for over a year now and haven''t found anything myself yet.
Gun Bros was fun in the beginning, but Glu Mobile only wants to milk your wallet a bit more (that goes for all of their games, mind you!). All fine with me, but the game strats to drag after a few months of play and becomes tedious. It levels too slowly, or, to put it differently, the weapons are too expensive (and the expensive one do not even live up to expectation). I abandoned it after like three months or so.
I like the ""Choice of ..." series very much -- I'm currently playing Broadsides and Romance. I'm not originally into RPGs, but this is kinda fun. It more or less makes the story more interesting if you have influence on the outcomes, even if it sometimes is clear the difference is minor because the story picks up again the same way it did the last few times. Nice time-waster, though.
Random Mahjong for the sleepless hours (I use it with Screen Filter to dampen the screen brightness a bit, primarily to soothe my eyes since I have it plugged it when I''m in bed anyway).
Flight Control: meh. Fun in the first few levels, but tedious after a while.
Plants vs. Zombies: very funny, like the humor. Have played it on the PC -- great fun -- an enjoy it on the Android platform. Wish I could play it on a bigger screen, though: it wouldn't be the first time I scr**ed up on plant placement.
Virtual City: instant buy. Like it very much, but haven't been playing lately due to real life taking over for a bit. Have the Sandbox Edition installed as well, but haven't played it yet for the same reasons.
Age of Wind: likeable, and fun, but the steering mode annoyed me and I was put to the bottom of the sea very fast. I find the economics unclear and " steep".
Apparatus: reputed to be great fun. Installed, but not played yet.
Dead Space: looked like a winner (oh, the visuals! : D ), but the controls annoyed me supremely. Happily uninstalled.
Guerilla Bob: fun, but not for a the long-term you are apparently looking for. I liked it though, but again, way too short.
Robo Defense: immensely fun, and you can keep experimenting on different lay-outs and tower compositions. Achievements provide that little extra oomph of stimulus to go on and on and on. Had to wrestle myself away from this one for sheer terror of social dysfunction.
Stupid Zombies: fun, and a ''thinker'', but very hard on higher levels, which might be a put-off if you're a casual gamer.
Reckless Getaway: fun, but it turns out I'm a crappy virtual driver (luckily not so in real life -- that doesn't really fit with a motorcycle, now, doesn't it ; )
Cut the Rope: quite possibly a killer game for most of us. Thinking fast is key here, I like it very much. (I have to admit though that my 3.5 year-old son is about as good as I am. But he is astonishingly good for a 3 yo, ROFLOL!)
Great Little War Game: hard one, this one. Liked it, but was not 'steadfast' and sometimes was unclear what consequences movement would have. There is only an inconsequential und relatively uninformative tutorial, so you're left to fend for your own.
Not played (extensively): UNO, Siegecraft, Virtual City Sandbox Edition.
Hope that helps a bit.

I really couldn't have asked for a better answer!
It seems as if you've taken the time and effort to help me out and share your ideas and opinions, so thanks a lot! I shall hit the like button when I'm next at my laptop!
I think I'll give all the games you've mentioned a go, and hopefully this threads still going in a week or so and I can give some feedback on those games!
Thanks again for taking the time and effort to help!

i'm currently addicted to Where's My Water ... it's really fun to play
If your looking for a long term game to play like op on laptop or pc like fifa or warcraft or aion or need for speed there ar none to few...the gameplay on android device is limited by your own taist ,like marty allready told @ some game's controls ar badass.
Deadspace and Nova2 hd ar the taste for eyes but a hate for controls
Eart and Ledgend and Samurai2 and Third blade free ar for rpg less graphical lust for eyes but controls ar way better
Sleepy Jack and Cordy and sonic4 and windup kight and snowpro ar good/oke but also simple gameplay
And for app's depend on what your using your phone for howe old you ar and where you live
I am a plumber/central heating and work on new and renovation buildingsite's so for my work i use extreme alarm clock to set alarm ,tiny flashlight for in the dark and calculator for..and business calander and fm radio
For fun i use plume for twitter ,friendcaster pro for facebook ,skype and chaton to talk and text with home or friends and some dutch app's.
For practical use a have 1tap cleaner ,documents to go ,advanced task killer ,Dr.web(for security) ,igo8 to not get lost here in europe ,my data manager for 3g ,total recall for sgs2 to record my call's ,tunein radio when i am home over wifi ,weather and toggle widget ,weather pro ,shopsavvy as barcode scanner while shopping ,dish pointer for when i am on grand prix sidecarcross camping and having truble with my satelite reciver to watch tv.

A few I like

Backstab
Nova 2

They are all battery killer though (especially the gameloft games), so take that into consideration when you still have half a day to go before recharge.

Halo! There needs to be some kind of a Halo game released with the phone. Halo has been such an iconic presence in my generation, that I would say its equivalent to Star Wars of the generation before. I'm surprised that MS isn't bringing it to launch of an important moment of the company.
Equivalent to star wars?!
Haha, get real!
But it would be nice with Halo on wp7 even though Ive never played it.
HALO was my first 3D shooter that was really good, that I played. I actually won it in some competition many years ago. But I never finished it. If I could, lets say, play at home on PC, save game, and then continue on phone -- we know that this is possible -- in HALO, I would buy wp7 device rightaway.
I wouldn't say equivalent to star wars or anywhere close to that. I'd say more like mortal kombat or something or that nature. Halo would be a nice game to add for the fps lovers.
Gears of War > Halo
I think part of Halo's allure is it's story, but honestly I couldn't get past the bad gameplay to find out.
Halo takes mechanics best suited on the PC and puts them into a console, which feels horrible. I prefer the way Gears of War approached the issue, while a mouse & keyboard would probably still feel better, it was at least some thought went into how the controls of the game work on a gamepad.
If you haven't heard already their is some form of Halo game coming out on release day.
No other info as of yet.
But a list of 60+ games to be ready on launch day shows some good dev backbone. Hopefully their is like 600 apps to go with that.

If you're talking about Halo: Waypoint that's not a game, it's some sort of Halo Network program.
A full HALO game with real time XBOX Live multiplay. That would be too much fun!
Reality hits; its not going to happen. Possible but not going to happen.
Plus AT&T users would ruin the fun with their bad network. Imagine all the pauses because of people with slow net speeds.

As long as MS releases some realtime multiplayer games, then I will be happy. MS has stated perhaps by next year (Q1 or Q2).
Did some searching Apple has it now!
NOVA
other multiplayer games
Never really liked touch screen fps games, analogue sticks ain't great for shooters as it is without making them virtual. Think a Halo Wars game would probably suit the format a lot better.
I'm loving my HD7 and the few game titles I have on it, but I want more. I've dug into the marketplace many times but, I was hoping you would recommend the gems you've found.
My Collection so far
Xbox Live
Flight Control
Flowerz
Hexic Rush
ilomilo
Revolution
Tiki Towers
Regular Titles
BowlingXX
Bubble Birds
Bubble Jump
ChicknVixens
Color Flow
Electric Beans
Fast Food
Impossible Game
Impossilbe Shooter
Putt In Golf
Quadra
SkyDiver Classic
Unite
Word Chief
Great game for me:
Pixodus.
Add Meteor Mania or Meteor Storm to it. And Scetch Defense.
The Harvest is fun to me, the graphics are amazing
I like Flowers, Hexic Rush, and Ilomilo too. Chicks'n'Vixens is OK, Color Flow gets old fast, and ElectricBeans was too easy. But they're still on my phone, so I value them to some degree
I've gotten a bit of play time from the following (free) games:
MoveIt
Scrambled Free (I play this a LOT)
Sudoku
Word Tangle Free
Yahpips (Yahtzee game)
The one paid game you don't have listed that I like to play is:
Need for Speed: Undercover
My 3 year old likes the following (free) games:
Dibidogs Chase
Final Approach Lite
Fireworks
Fishing Girl
Ice Ball
Memory Match
Paint Me
Ultra Air Hockey 2

+1. That game is pretty cool. Kinda like a mobile MechWarriors.
If you like puzzle games, Jigsaw Guru and Word Tangle are pretty good fun.
Alphajax is great if you like Scrabble. I especially love the personal statistics; I've never seen that in a mobile Scrabble game.
iBlast Moki... best port out there. Only game better is ilomilo
Been playing a lot of twin blades, I dig it and bubble birds here lately, just downloaded the new mmo game listed on wpcentral, but haven't tried it yet.
Sent from my HTC HD7 using Board Express
Max and the Magic Marker is a MUST have! It's $6.99 but worth every penny.
Impossible Shoota is also really fun, free of charge, and extremely addicting, too.
Check out Bye Bye Brain, a great zombie tower defense game.
Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express
I'd ditch Bye Bye Brain... you can play on Normal mode up to horde 50 and then it will finish
Or you can try the Endless mode and it will CRASH at horde 50.
It looks really good but the gameplay is not that varied... only one map, 5 different character units each with 3 upgrades and that's it.
Good for showing off to people but you will get bored of it crashing all the time at level 50
My fav's are TouchMeQuick (free), The Harvest (6.99), Fruit Ninja (2.99), and Solitaire Game Chest (2.99).
Try Impossible Shoota. Mindless but it is fun.

Ilomilo is awesome, haven't stopped playing it since I bought it, am on the secret eggs bit :O)
Need for Speed: Undercover is very good, as is Flowerz (Yay I'm top of the Leaderboard for that one). Chicks 'n' Vixens was enjoyable if a bit short.
Game Chest: Logic Games contains a version of Chess which you can play against your XBox Live friends online, and it is a lot of fun. I think it is the only online multiplayer games in the Marketplace at the moment but I'm sure others will follow soon.
I've been playing against people who don't even own a WP7 phone - they can play in a browser by visiting Xbox.com - the game requests show up there and an identical silverlight version of the game plays within the browser and best of all, it's free for them :O)
Final Approach... just downloaded it and its loads of fun.

er... I tried Fruit Ninja on my Focus and it was running pretty bad. It's around 15fps -ish when fruit appears.
Not sure if it's MS gamestudio ported it badly or just my individual problem

I use it on Omnia 7, and it is very fluent. It seems that it's your individual problem... Have you tried un- and reinstall?
Man I wish there were refunds, I pretty much buy every decent Xbox live games that comes out and this has all the potential in the world but the controls made me want to shoot myself in the face... It's just bad. Save yourself some heartache and use the 5 dollar bill as toilet paper. That would be money better spent... I can't even use this crap.
That's why there is an option to test all the XBox live games for free before buying

I'm aware, it offers up the easiest levels that don't show you the games real mechanics at all... No thanks... I always get the full games of any decent looking games.
Actually there are really few decent games on WP7.... Except maybe Ilomilo or Harvest...
They are all very boring, with a very basic gameplay.
The best exemples are certainly Fable Golf or The Blob. Graphics are nice, but how boring these games are.... No variations or challenge at all.
I you buy a game without trying it and it's rubbish, you deserve what happens to you, no sympathy there.
As for the game itself, I agree that it's not good and Who wants to be a Millionaire is just as bad.
We were originally supposed to get Angry Birds today and instead we got two piles of crap.
I just tried the demo of Super Monkey and indeed... It's crap.
How poor the graphics are...! How they dare propose this for the WP7 platform?
Regarding the controls, they are just so bad that they make the whole game unusable.
Where are the good/sophisticated games on WP7 ???
most have to be made, not ported
PES is actually a good game, I love corona
and I absolutely love the harvest
but many games are rubbish
I am holding out on sonic 4 being good because I like the game on the wii, but I'd love a metal gear on this thing
Toss us a bone konami

There just aren't enough users to warrant putting the resources into a massive, complex, graphics-intensive game. Plus people aren't willing to pay - the amount of reviews saying that PES2011 is too expensive at £3.99. This, the most fun, addictive and probably longest replay-value game on the market. Should be 12p apparently.
Well I bought it, and I really like it. I find the controls fine, took a bit of playing to get used to it, but it is good fun. I do think a joystick control might make it a bit easier, but its a good game, the graphics arent that bad either... looks like SMB 1 did to me, other than the 2d monkey.

agreed, the mechanics were not smooth at all.
On a side note, I thought I had wasted money on deer hunter, but it works much better after the nodo update.

huh rocket riot, max and the magic marker, fruit ninja, tiki towers, iblast moki are also gr8 games. for a brand new platform WP7 has a decent amount of good games.
the only thing missing are some gr8 exclusives like the Harvest.
I find a lot of the games great but I came from Android not an iPhone. Earthworm Jim, Fruit Ninja, Hexic Rush, iBlast Moki, Ilomilo, Max and the Magic Marker and Tiki Towers are some of my favourites.
I can see the frustration some people might have with things like Fable Coin Golf but these are really designed to be pick up and play games you can play when you're on the go quickly and easily.
Game plays smoothly on my HTC Arrive.
Two reasons why I didn't buy the game:
1. 2D Monkey Balls - I'm sure they could have done 3D without dropping below 30 fps. Simply lazy programming.
2. No mini games. Monkey Flight is the sole reason why I bought the original games.
I'm going to be on a car long ride with my friends next week, and I would really like some game suggestions that our group of 4 can play. Preferably, these games should (listed in order of preference) not require everyone to have a nexus 7, engage everyone equally without losing interest, not get boring after 5 hours of play (wifi and data are not a problem), not require too much movement ( we are in a car), and engage an unlimited number of people.
So far, I've tried out Taboo, truth or dare, and Would You Rather. These are decent games but they have their weaknesses and it never hurts to have more.
Sorry about such weird demands, the Marketplace's social category does not list social games for real life interaction. Though I can blame them.
I had fun with my friends with game Draw race on iPhone. I saw Draw race 2 on playstore, so try check it out.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GluZ28uZHJhd3JhY2UyZ3BsYXkuYW5kcm9pZC5yb3ciXQ..
There are also some board games I thing (Catan, Monopoly etc.)
There's a decent 2 player air hockey game in the free games section of the play store.
Good for 10 minute bursts.
Maybe do a tournament, 1st to 10 points.
I dunno if it's supported on n 7, but monopoly and game of lives were good multi player game that I used to play

I find all the above too difficult whilst driving
Achtung die Kurve, hands down!!
Coming from a Diablo , rouge like history of gaming, I have always been into computer versions of those types of games. Huge worlds to explore, a plethora of items to find, secret dungeons and chests spread out everywhere to reward the player that likes to find everything in a world. Until I played and bought 9th Dawn I didn't think I would ever experience that PC EXPERIENCE OF A HUGE WORLD ROUGE TYPE GAME.
While the grafix are simple sprites the fighting is fun. Three typical characters are there for your picking.The knight that can use a wide variety of swords ,axes,spears. The mage that fires spells like an Angry Bird rubber band style. Believe me the Mage and Archers way of shooting projectiles are a blast. The mage can upgrade his staff skills or magic, or both. Higher end staffs can not be exquiped by pure magic mages. The archer can work on upgrading his bow skills (skills are raised with use, think of Oblivion) so he can use a huge variety of bows. Or he can become a mad dagger wielding fool with shield abilities.
Bottom line, if you are into huge world exploration RPGs and high tech graphixmare not your requirement for good gaming.9th. Dawn is your game
87/100
This game is a lot of fun and it's constantly updated.
The only problem I've had with it is that sometimes their updates break the game, but they usually push fixes with a few hours
Try playing back stab its also really good
