Name your favorite game

[grizzlyaddams]

Loving my new Windows Phone but am finding it hard to explore the store for games that might not show up in one of the categories. For instance, I wouldn't know Civ Rev was on there if I hadn't googled some recommendation articles. So to try to get a variety of good recommendations we should all post a single on of our favorites.

I just got started but so far Crimson Dragon stands out.

What kinds of games do you like?

I'm not much of a gamer, but I do like Wordament.

 

[grizzlyaddams]

All kinds.

 

[DalekSnare]

Carcassonne and Zombies are nice if you like board games. Physi Bricks is fun and of course there's always Angry Birds. Achtung is fun. I gravitate towards games that let me listen to audiobooks while I play (i.e. no reading or story or too much thinking).

Uno and friends - Online multiplayer
Tic Tac Toe - Online
Dredd vs Zombies

Modern Combat 4 online multiplayer is fun but it takes few hours getting your *** kicked before you learn controls. But after that it's awesome!

Hi, maybe try my brand new game called Cowmmando. It is a shooter but it's got an accelerometer implemented for movement which is a wonderful experience. It is reading phone movement up/down/left/right pretty well. Check cowmmando.com and also this forum for my post about the game.

I don't usually play games on my phone. But when I do, I play plants vs zombies and gravity guy mostly. Sometimes geo defense.

Overall Favorite: Carcassonne. If you want to play online, check out this guide I wrote.

Best Strategy: Skulls of the Shogun. Has a nice cross-platform, asynchronous multiplayer mode, and also a good single-player story.

Best Puzzle: Hexic Rush: A unique twist on the genre with two very different modes that freshen things up, plus the Xbox achievements are challenging, but fair.

Best Sports: NBA Jam. Unfortunately the multiplayer is spotty (I never got it to work), and the achievements are a grind, but overall, this game is still a blast.

Best Word: (tie) AlphaJax, Wordament. Alphajax is like Scrabble; Wordament is like Boggle.

Best Retro : Rocket Riot. A blast to pick up and play for a few minutes at a time.

Best Shooter : Halo: Spartan Assault. The controls on this game are fantastic, the graphics are top-notch. It's a blast.

Best Platformer : Mirror's Edge. A really cool side-scroller with fantastic music, great presentation, a good story, and intuitive touch screen controls.

Bonus: here is a list of multiplayer games I've compiled.

NBA Jam is on Windows Phone 8 store? No results when I search for it. I enjoyed it for iOS.

Ah, Hexic... One of the only WinMo games I played consistently.

Does ilomilo even have any competition yet? Nope.

NBA Jam is a temporary exclusive for Nokia, but yeah, it is in there

Wordament, Uno and Friends

 

[despertador]

Max and the Magic Marker is very kid friendly, but still fun.

I don't have a favorite, but I tripped over Space Scribble the other day it's pretty addictive.
SpaceScribble | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

Zero Gravity is a pretty good space game. Reminds me of some of the old PC games like X2 in mobile form

 

[RoscoeTenkoya]

I personally feel in love with godville and the fact I don't have to do much but check up on the app is worth my free time

 

[jenni122701]

I have just been basically playing Spell It and Words by Post. Then Ill play a little solitaire or AE Bowling. I am hoping a couple of my fave games come to WP. Id love to see Candy Crush and one of my fav word games on iOS was Hooked on Words. I miss that one a lot on my phone!
