Written by Suyomizzle on 06 June 12 at 10:22

Though you might be drowning in E3 coverage and assaulted from all sides by exciting news, the venerable Battleship has made its way to WP7 this week with little fanfare.

IT’S A HIT – ON YOUR WINDOWS PHONE 7! The all-time favorite naval battle game, BATTLESHIP reloads with all-new unlockable achievements, asynchronous multiplayer modes and XBLA integration.

Use your existing Xbox LIVE Gamertag or create a new one via the Windows Phone 7 main menu to track achievements and access leaderboards.

CLASSIC PLAY WITH NEXT GEN FIREPOWER
Engage in the authentic Classic Mode or fire at will in the intense Salvo Mode.

SEEK MORE DAUNTING CHALLENGES
Sink THEIR battleships with Hotseat, asynchronous battles, multiplayer via local WiFi, Bluetooth, and Pass ‘N Play capabilities.

ACHIEVE TOTAL VICTORY AT SEA
Demonstrate strategic and tactical skills to earn Super Weapons. Improve your rank from Seaman all the way to fully-fledged Admiral!
You can find the title here on the Marketplace.

Microsoft doesn't really give much warning about WP titles. We are usually lucky to find out a week in advance : \

Anyone else think that 99 cents is the new sweet spot? Gonna pass on most 2.99 games till they are at least on sale.

Ilomilo, Plants vs Zombies, and Guitar Hero 5 to name a few. Some of these WP7 games are just as good or have even more content then their XBLA counterpart and they are often cheaper if everyone only bought $1 games the game quality would drop dramatically. $3 is not that much really you could find that much change laying around.

Warning this game has a lot of multiplayer achievements and one of them is for winning 200 matches so if your boosting your going to have to play at least 400 matches.

Why put this shit on the marketplace at all, unless really cheap. Only idiots or massive cheevo whores will buy at £2.29 ;)

I've played a lot of the WP7 games and I can honestly say ilomilo is far and away the best. That is one of the few purchases I've really thought was value for money, even for £4.
