I bought Pocket god too. Haven't played it yet, hoping for easy cheeves. Gravity seems good though like you said.

I am thinking about Flight Control.

Bejeweled Live is really fun, not a big fan of that genre but I really enjoyed it. You probably missed Fable coin golf for DOTW, but that is quality. Ilomilo and max and the magic marker are quality titles. I like OMG. It is short, but fun and easy achievements. The Harvest is also good, but expensive. Good feedback from friends on ionballx, tentacles (loved the demo), Sally's Salon Luxery, Plants Vs Zombies.

Some free/low cost non-live titles I like are Flow, 3d paperball, ninjaboy, piggybounce, Swipyman, Unite. Too many to mention really. Hope those recommendations help you get started.

Try Sally's Salon. I put more hours into that game than any others. Tentacles gets ridiculously hard later I wish I never purchased it. Plants vs Zombies is always a good choice.

Looks like Collapse! is the game for next week for 2.99. I got it free on android from amazon when they started giving away an app a day and really liked the game. I'll download the trial and probably get it but I might wait. I'd buy it right away f it was a sequel or if I hadn't beat it on the other phone os all ready.

Collapse! coming to Xbox Live next week

Gravity Guy chapter 30 map --- I made this!

I think eastx posted before that a patch is coming for Tentacles soon to make it easier.

Gravity Guy gets pretty hard too, but I'm still digging it. Kind of reminds me of a horizontal Doodle Jumper.

Yeah, I actually have more fun with Gravity Guy than Doodle Jump. However, the Achievements for beating 20 levels and all 30 levels without dying will be beyond most mortal men.

Heh, exactly like some of the tougher Doodle Jump achievements.

@EastX Just thought I should let you know you were right. I pulled the trigger on FCG at the last moment and have put about 4 hours into it in the last day or so, which is huge considering the last time I touched my phone for gaming was the IloMilo DLC.

Any news on DotW?

Sweet! Thanks.

I say stay away from Pocket God if you haven't already bought it. On my Samsung Focus it has horrible performance and is generally a terrible game. Specifically:

- the "boss" fights are extremely hard simply due to poor touch controls with the spear. I often grab something else or somehow drop it into the ocean.

-the collision is utterly broken. Many times spear throws or anything else don't connect properly. I've specifically seen the spear go through the Spider and Dinosaur many times.

- it's more a toy, which isn't in itself bad but it's extremely limited.

It's only 2 bucks so it's certainly not a ripoff but there have already been many better dotw, including Women's Murder Club!

I just realized I didn't buy Pocket God. Last week I said I'd buy it at the deal price and I'm sure that has come and gone. I guess that just shows how little I was actually interested in getting it.

I had a bit of trouble with the controls to start with, but it really isn't that bad when you get used to it. And for the boss fights, you have to hit like the center of their bodies, hitting certain places just will not count as a hit. I move the pygmy about halfway across the screen, and give him the spear, and I was able to get the Spider God achievement. Dinosaur is much tougher because of regenerating health, and the Ice Monster is very hard to hit consistently. But, what keeps me playing is the Doodle Jump minigame, which will tide me over until Doodle Jump itself is the DotW

I checked this morning and it was still 1.99. may not be now? For 2 dollars i have enjoyed it. Looking forward to what this weeks DOTW. Usually it is up for purchase by now, so wonder why it has taken so long today?

The Marketplace hasn't updated yet.

Amazing thread... when Samsung Focus S is available with WP 7.5 on it, I will be getting my first smartphone!!!!! Then I won't feel like an idiot not being able to scan all those tags on everything nowadays!

It CAN scan all those tags right? They're not iPhone only are they?

Yes, WP7 phones can scan Microsoft tags. We'll look forward to having ya, Elektro!
