Windows Phone leaks new games, sounds like a personal problem

What's with the WP7 hate Jess?

Wow, the Joystiq editors sure don't like WP7. I'm sure this opinion is based on extended use of the platform.

Wow, Jessica. I can't tell if you're trying to be funny or are trying to be edgy, but neither are working out for you. We get it. You don't like WP7. So, why not stop writing about it?

:( As found as I am of my HTC HD7, WP7 isnt doing as well as it could be.


But I mean, still....

Bullet Asylum looks kinda neat. But I've got a year left on my current contract and no real reason to switch.

gotta agree with the other posters, seems like youve never touched a windows phone if youre going to diss it so lamely.

I love my Verizon Trophy personally and I have alot of friends wanting to get the newer phones when they start shipping LTE versions.

I may be wrong but I peg her as an iPhone user, and I've noticed alot of iPhone users hate on WP7 just to make sure iOS doesn't become the 3rd most popular/relevant mobile OS.

That being said, I look forward to these games, and the expansion of the platform in the future. Just think of a "remote play"-like feature in the Xbox Companion app...just sayin'

Agree with the rest of the comments.

While I'm always happy to see WP7 news on this site, do you guys think you could post at least one article about WP7 that doesn't contain a subtle or blatant shot at it?

I mean, you just lost your two funniest writers. Taking potshots at a small but dedicated fan base doesn't seem like an ideal move.

Why do I have the feeling like this person has never used a windows phone ? anyway i am glad to see that joystiq writers give every platform a chance and are not the least bit biased.

I was surprised to see a story about a WP7 game on Joystiq, but then I read the article. I have an HD7 and I love it. I had an iPhone and an Android phone. I loved the stability and reliability of apps on the iOS but hated the UI. On Android I loved the UI but due to the fragmentation of the Android OS, some apps worked fine while others didn't. On WP7 I get the benefits of both.

Honestly, I would have choose whatever platform suited me the best. I'm a consumer, it's my right. Brand loyality is dumb to me, it's just a damn phone.

"Hey dying and starving kids of Africa, stop worrying about what you're going to eat! iPhones are SOOO much better than Windows!"

First world problems. Eh, whatever, I'm sure you got a chuckle out of some loyal Apple or Android user Jessica.

Incredible headline, Jess.

Considering the coverage that Windows Phones and Androids get on Joystiq I can only assume that no one uses anything other than iOS at Joysitq central.
Game Dev Story, Minecraft, Spirit or Fieldrunners for 10c on Android? Who cares?
Random indie iOS game on sale? Front page news!

I completely missed the Zombies release. It has now been purchased. Nice of them to release a decently priced xbox live title on WP7.

I really love that no matter what smartphone OS someone might dare crack jokes about, people jump out of the woodwork all upset and trying to defend it.

I have a WP7 and absolutely love it and I do feel it gets a lot of rather unnecessary and unjustified hate from people, especially people who use iOS devices.

It's impossible to argue that WP7 doesn't have flaws, but I think the first generation of WP7 devices are leaps and bounds beyond products Apple launches with. Not to say that's necessarily a fair judgement in the smartphone market, where Apple broke ground to allow a device like WP7 to even exist, but it doesn't have a lot of the same pitfalls Apple devices fall into early and often.

My biggest problem with Apple devices is always the inevitability that your incredibly expensive purchase is going to be surpassed within a year and completely obsolete in 2. I think it's nothing short of insanity that people get excited to drop so much cash yearly on the next iterative Apple product.

I think Jess has 2 jobs. One as a Joystiq writer, and one as a barista. With her attitude towards a mobile OS as solid as WP7, that's the vibe I'm being given.

I love the sea of blue at the top of the comments!

The thing is... Android and iOS both now have the hardware to run some better games, right?

And how many games is that exactly?

By the time either platform builds up a real library of games that are worthy of running on dual or quad core processors, WP7 inevitably would have caught up by then, hardware wise as well.

I know there's things like GTA3... but I got to be honest, even if they could port GTA3 TODAY onto WP7, I still don't want it. I played it 10 years ago and I don't buy smartphones to play 10 year old games.

silly Angry Birds is still number 1 across all platforms, regardless of what hardware you have. Think about it.

good god


i had an iphone 3g, my contract was up and the phones available were th eiphone 4, and the brand new samsung focus windows phone.


my god....what a disaster....

I've never touched a Windows Phone and I love my iPhone, but I think Windows Phone is pretty cool. My only real gripe is my attachment to my own library of iOS games, otherwise i'd totally give Windows Phone a spin.
