NEEDS MOAR RPGS

GeoDefense is one of the (sadly very) few kickass WP games, I'll snatch that sequel right up when it comes out.

You mean need an XBL RPG, period. It doesn't exist yet.

The Harvest is kinda an ARPG but I'm not sure I'd really count it. I'd like Zenonia to make the jump from the IPhone, along with the Final Fantasies of course. I'm sure there are more but I haven't played many of the phone RPGs.

I'd like to see Phantasy Star 2. It's already on both XBLA and iPhone.

Carcassone is actually a pretty fun game (play the demo on XBLA) and should lend itself to WP7 nicely.

LV 1 Blue Slime said:NEEDS MOAR RPGSpuzzle quest 2 is kind of an RPG but yeah doesn't fully count. A real RPG would be nice. I'd actually love Final Fantasy 1 & 2 since i've always wanted to play them and have even brought it when it came out on GBA but never played much of it. With achievements i'd actually stick to it. Actually i wouldn't be to surprised if Square Enix ports them as they have put them in on every other mobile OS. Heck, any of the Nintendo DS Square Enix RPGs would be nice if they ported over.

Anyways i'm also really excited for Pinball FX2! I wonder how they will handle the table downloads and achievement? Will it be the first WP game to exceed 200gs? Also I know it won't happen but it would be so awesome if the tables you've already bought on XBLA just transferred over for free and vice versa.

Carcassonne is awesome to have as well. Since it's been like 4 years since I played the XBLA version it will be nice to revisit it. Also finally having some online multi player in a game outside of Logic Games is what i've really wanted. Day one buy just because of that

geoDefense Swarm sounds cool and i really enjoyed the first title.

As for the other games they seems interesting. I just wish that WP as a mobile OS would gain more market share so developers would have more incentive to make games for it.

I hope the geodefense title will be one of the first of those released.

That Pinball FX looks impressive for a cell phone pinball game.

I'm looking forward to several of these. Nice to see some online multiplayer available to some. The geo defense ones, carcasonne, pinball FX all look good, and possibly wordament, as I played the free one and it was good. Better sensing and layout/style would be cool =] the other 2 dont interest me too much, a shame that these may take a while to get here

Wordament is awesome (though I suspect a grinding achievement will be involved);
Pinball F/X 2 is awesome;
Carcassonne is awesome;
more geoDefense is awesome.

I wish I had consulted a thesaurus when making my initial impressions were made, but that's the word I kept thinking -- awesome.
