Windows Phone 7 Releases October 24th, 2012

One new game this week and a pair of Nokia exclusives from late last week

Written by litepink on 24 October 12 at 13:29

Board games are the theme this week, including our usual Wednesday release and a pair of Nokia exclusive titles that released last Friday.

Carcassonne (WP) - $2.99/£2.29
The award-winning tile-based board game by Klaus-Jürgen Wrede is finally available for your Windows Phone!

Just a few years after its release, Carcassonne became a modern classic and a must-play. Turn by turn, the players create a landscape by placing tiles with roads, cities, fields, and cloisters. Deploy your followers - knights, monks, thieves, or farmers - and try to score the most points to win the game. The ever-changing landscape makes each game a new experience. With the official expansion "The River II", Online Multiplayer, Xbox LIVE Achievements and Leaderboards, this is an essential title for board game enthusiasts.

I'm HTC. Would love Mirrors edge, risk and connect4. It's a pity.

New handsets are released nearer Christmas. If HTC don't do something similar to my HD7. Then I will prob move over to an oversized Nokia handset.

If you have a WP, and you don't have a Lumia, you aren't doing it right.

To imaidiot19, what about the customers such as myself that got a windows 7 phone on launch? I'm locked in to a contract for my HTC, way before a lumia had even been announcer let alone released. So it is unfortunate for some of us.

That... and the fact that Nokia paid Ea for an exclusivity deal. Go and prod your manufacturer of choice and tell them you expect similar deals if they expect to retain your custom

Except that they will be timed exclusives, as was announced back when they made the partnership with EA, it's just not known when the exclusivity will expire.
