Retro gaming on Windows Phone 7

Posted March 11, 2011

Everyone knows Windows Phone 7 is the only phone platform with Xbox LIVE integration. This means that it has access to some of the best quality games around, with excellent titles, gameplay and awesome graphics.

Sometimes though, it’s just nice to kick back and play a low key game.. Halo: Waypoint or Assassins Creed are awesome games, but so are Tetris, Pac-Man and Monolpoly. While these games are much older, they have lasted years – and for good reason.

As these are our top retro games for Windows Phone 7, we thought we’d share some of the reiview we have seen for each one:

Tetris (£3.99) – Reviewed by Joystiq

“I was expecting a bare-bones, quick cash-in port of Tetris when EA announced a Windows Phone port. Instead, what I got was a game that actually improved upon the Tetris experience. This is definitely the best retro reboot since Space Invaders Extreme, and warrants a play. Definitely a must-have for Xbox Live on the go.”

Pac-Man (£.399) – Reviewed by WMPowerUser

“The classic PAC-MAN game is perfectly replicated on Windows Phone, with great controls and all the old gameplay mechanics. The fast loading speeds also make this game more enjoyable to quickly jump into and play.”

Monopoly (£3.99) – Reviewed by Know Your Mobile

“EA has done a good job with the Windows Phone 7 port of Monopoly, and if you love the board game and want to pass the time with friends, it’s unlikely to disappoint”

Does this one too classify for retro-gaming? :) You’ll need some patience to see it finished tho.
