Oh, I didn't realize that you could only wikify the very first post. Yeah, that wouldn't be beneficial at all.

would it be possible to copy and paste tge stuff from the 2nd and 3rd post into the op? Maybe use spoiler tags so it doesn't take up as much room. Then anyone could add stuff yo any of the first 3 posts since all the info would be in the first post. Doesn't bother me. Just offering a suggestion.

This thread is eastx's baby; he might not want to share!

It might be worth noting that Monster Island has an update available, although I'm not sure what it entails.

For what it's worth I still check the first page of this thread.

Is it just me or does Feed Me Oil feel kind of like World of Goo? Which is awesome, not complaining, I was wishing WoG would show up in the Windows Phone marketplace and FMO has been a lot of fun so far (lol love the soundtrack too).

Everyone mentioned some great games. Max & The magic Marker is super for .99 cents. Most of the .99 cent titles are well worth price of admission.

My Favorite Live titles include: Ilomilo, implode, hydro thunder, Max/Magic Marker, Orbital, Sally's Salon LE, Tentacles, and Wordament.

NON-Live titles that are a must check out include: Wordfeud! there is a large community because you play against wp7, ios, and android community. It has a trial version and is priced at 2.99. I have the trial but should purchase it with how often I play it against friends and my wife. The trial includes advertisments and I believe one board held back? Wordfeud also features toasts and a live tile which is very useful because it tells you when it is your turn and who played (you can play mutlitple games/people at the same time). I also enjoy taptitude (a ton of mini games and updated regularly), unite, cartridge (similar to 8-bit mario), chickens can dream (delisted?), and one of my favorite titles...DRAGON'S BLADE!!! If you have any fond memories of early final fantasy titles dragon's blade is a title to check out. Suvivalcraft is decent if you enjoy minecraft. Don't make fun but Clowning College is actually kind of fun too.

I also recommend AppFlow App Discovery. I found a few gems by using this application.

Welcome!!

Thanks Eastx. I do in fact check the front page for links to your reviews, new releases, etc.

BTW: I just realized Kinectimals and Beards and Beaks have live tiles. No real purpose, but still kind of cool. I love me some live tiles. I wish there was an application that gave live updates on news/scores for sports with toasts.

Monster Island must have fixed the achievement complaint because it is listed again.? I also purchased Feed Me oil because one, it is 99 cents and like Tyler's thinking a DOTW would only save me maybe 34 cents, so why not. If more games release at .99 cents I may never wait for DOTW again.

Yeah, very World of Goo art style.

Hopefully it fixed the achievement that required you to pay for DLC. If you own the game, you can go in and check. Nice to see it back on the marketplace, from the demo it felt pretty good.

EDIT: Oh, I can check in the demo. They did in fact change the Big Spender achievement to "Earn a total of 2500 coins and spend them in the Monster Island store!"

Thanks for all of those suggestions! I already got Wordament and Dragon's Blade (this game is amazing, I love the "online" aspect and getting the stat boost/seeing other players in an old school rpg!). I'll check out the other titles you suggested, and as you said a lot of these 99 cent games are also tempting!

May have to buy Monster Island now. Should probably finish up Fragger first though. Also getting sick of all these Angry Birds style games..... Implode is alright but can be pretty damn frustrating getting aplus ratings. Even following a guide there ate some I've tried multiple times just slightly moving the dynamite placement and would still get an A rating or fail.

Hoping Mirrors Edge and Battleship are fun. Just saw they released the achievement lists for those.

Here's my article on Monster Island coming back in case ya missed it...

plus

Gun Bros and Contract Killer Achievements revealed

That other article I mentioned a few days ago is coming up later today. Sorry for the delay, but I was ambushed by ninjas.

I'm due for a new phone in June and I can't wait to get a Windows phone. Read the last 4 pages and I am super hyped. Gosh, I can't wait to start posting in this thread since I can participate in all the deals, discussions and such. Eastx, this thread ROCKS

Here's the article EastX is talking about, the game is Droplitz Delight and it will be $0.99. The original Droplitz is a pretty sterile* experience, but this one looks like it will have a lot more life too it. Easy day 1 buy for a buck.

Glad to have you here, I enjoy your posts from the XBLA thread. I think you'll really enjoy WP.

Every gamer with a WP7 should get the official WPcentral app for $1...contains articles on the various sales/app updates/etc. as they happen. That's how I keep in the loop.

And yes, the Monster Island update was to fix the PDLC achievements.

Thanks!! It looks like the only windows phone I can get is an HTC Arrive. Been reading through the reviews on the first page and everyone's recommendations & just super excited. My wife and I will be going out the first weekend of June to upgrade our phone after two years.....jeez, I know I'll burn through a $20 just like that the first week. And I'll prolly get 15 games for that too. More achievements make me happy lol

think I spent like $40-$50 the first week I got my phone. lol. Good luck trying to get by with $20. Though the recent .99 drops will definitely help.

I agree. Any title that launches for $1 is an instant buy. Even if it's just to show support for the $1 price point.

I know right! dragon's blade was a great find. Most of the .99 games are good. battlewagon and the hunting title are the only two I have not purchased.

i went to buy monster island and now it disappeared again?! I can see frustration with implode, but I liked the trial and error trying to get better points. It would have been nice to be able to share the levels you can create.

Welcome! I have the arrive. It is a very solid phone and the keyboard is the best I have used on a phone. My only complaint is I wish the screen size was bigger. I love the phone though!

That's the phone I just got earlier in the week, and I gotta say so far I really like it! I hope you enjoy it as it really is a nice phone, and yeah it can be really easy to spend money on some apps, especially if you're like me and want to go for achievements!

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Sounds like the arrive will be a good phone to scratch that achievement itch when I have the urge!!....and I'll set aside $30 for the first week I'll compile a list in the coming weeks of all the great games you guys think that I should get

Ditto to everything everyone else said about the Arrive. It's been nothing but great for me. I don't use the slideout keyboard much anymore, but it is nice to have. I do wish the screen size was bigger tho.

Lots of Sprint guys on this thread. Which is good, Sprint needs to sell as many Arrive's as possible, they've been so hesitant on Windows Phone.
