Whenever I get a new Windows Mobile phone, I always head to sites such as Handango or Handster to see what I have been missing since my last visit. And the truth is, I am not missing much… When you see the games coming out for the iPhone, it is easy to be a bit disappointed at the lack of innovation and quality in Windows Mobile games.

So I have had a really good look through, and have picked out seven games (not all of them new) which are compatible with the HTC Touch HD, ideally make good use of the 800×480 (WVGA) screen resolution, are useable without needing hardware keys, are innovative, and playable. Some of the games will only work at VGA resolution (eg. 640×480), but will work without problems, or will work if you run a program such as WVGAFIX beforehand. All are available from Handango.

Here’s the list…

Platform game, excellent hi resolution graphics, get a trial or buy from here: Meltdown (PocketPC) (ignore the compatibility warning, it does work…)

    Virtual pool mobile is so sweet. I play it all the time on my G1.

    I totally agree with you. I wish there were more developers who would make use of the accelerometer. I envy some of the cool games for the iPhone.

    I installed ‘Real Football Manager 2009′, which was shown as being compatible with the HTC HD on the Gameloft site. Only to find that I only had 40% game functionality. What a disapointment after enjoying this game on my HTC Tilt for so long. I though I would have enhanced graphics and playabilty….. NOT TO BE.

    Wait for next release I suppose.
