Notice: 6th October 2009: New HTC HD2 announced – read more here.

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…

htc touch hd compatible games

Atomic Cannon – buy here

Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: War of Two Cities

Civilisation for Touch HD


Meltdown

Platform game, excellent hi resolution graphics, (ignore the compatibility warning, it does work…)

Nine Hole Golf

Will run in WVGA, but looks better if you run WVGAFIX first to prevent graphics being stretched.Nine hole golf for touch hd

Obulis

Innovative puzzle game
Runs fine in WVGA but with white bar at the bottom of the screen.

    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.
