Forums - Gaming - Official Thread for Smartphone Gaming Believers!

I made a thread regarding mobile games three years ago called Mobile Games you might have missed, it was completely ignored... I've been a mobile gamer for quite some time; since Snake passing through JAVA and Symbian to settle lastly on Pocket PCs. That's where I stopped more or less, the arrival of the Wii brought me back to consoles, I still play some mobile games but they are not the same as before. Those old mobile games felt retroish to me, it was amazing what could be done on such small devices

From time to time I still play a bit on my iPod Touch.

EDIT: Get your copy of Solomon's Keep today, it's a great dungeon crawler and better yet it is currently free!

Any US T-Mobile users that can suggest a phone?

I am probably going to upgrade soon to a new Android phone, as I am still running one of the most ancient phones they offer (MyTouch AKA HTC Dream which was the 2nd Android phone made).

Without being either from the US or a T-Mobile customer, I'd recommend waiting for the next line of Windows Phone 7 phones or getting the HTC HD7 that they carry now.

Unless you're dead set on getting an Android device, in which case I can't help you.

@OT: I'm looking forward to getting my first smartphone later this year when Mango for WP7 is released. Hopefully there are some good games I can dig into.


If you are going to get a smartphone with the intention of using it for gaming I would suggest staying away from the WP7 phones. 

The phones themselves aren't really bad at all but in terms of gaming it is real slim pickings.

If a lack of games fails to bother you then go ahead and grab one.

The reason I won't get a WP7 phone is that they only have a few decent titles compared to Android which has a lot more. Oh, plus I can play any NES/SNES/N64/PS1/Genny game via emulator.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Alright so I am now about to reach the final dungeon area in the JRPG I have been playing lately. Clocked in at around 15 hours so far. I expect my final playthrough in this Android JRPG to be about 16-17 hours at most, of course provided that this is the final dungeon area. I say that because I thought I just finished the final battle.

The game is called Symphony of Eternity and is made by Kemco.

First off the game wasn't anything special, but what do you expect from the guys who did the console versions of Diakatana? Story was nothing special, graphics are what you would expect in an old school JRPG, the character sprites are a bit small and still, it was enjoyable enough that it kept me interested for the entire length of the game. I would say that had much to do with the controls. Old school turn based JRPG games work awesome on these devices.

Pictures show the analog stick thing but that can be taken away within the options menu. This game can be played without the onscreen buttons. Just tap a spot and your character moves there. You can also just tap on a spot and hold your finger on the device and your character will just continue to move in the direction of wherever your finger is.

I doubt everyone will like it, but it is on sale right now for $2.99 in the Android Market. If you like this kind of stuff you should check it out.

And yes, it is in English.

I'll let you know what I think of WP7 when I get around to installing this on my Android.

I'm keeping my powder dry. I hear the upcoming site update will add a mobile forum, and I intend to spam the crap out of it with game threads and sales data.

You can't, didn't you get the memo?

Most of those "Sales" aren't really sales because the downloads are free.

 

By the way, why wait for VGC to finally get around to giving us an area to talk about mobile games? They already took too long. We should have been having game threads already.

VGC Official Zenonia 3 Thread coming up in June!!!
