    "Hit titles" may be a bit of a stretch! Will deffo check out Nova 3, though. Have been a little disappointed with the WP8 titles so far. More Windows Phone items can only be a good thing.

    Don't mean to be rude, but why on Earth did you get a Lumia 800 last week???? The Lumia 920 LTE has been out for over a month now and yuo can find contract from £20.50/month

    Looking at these games though I have to say, there's nothing new here. A bit of a normal phone style puzzling, some ports from other platforms a game that's free elsewhere and not original. I first got a windows phone 2 years ago and was shocked by the lack of original or exclusive games and also the quality of lots of them was lower than I expected as they were advertised as a gaming phone!
    There is no theory of evolution, just a list of animals that Chuck Norris allows to live.

    He prob bought his 800 outright instead of a contract that's what I do cause for contract now a days it's like paying double the price. Better off buying outright then buying a giff gaff sim sooooo much cheaper.

    Contracts I was looking at were
    in the region of £40.On this evidence I am not missing much on a cheaper contract.Not everywhere even stocks the 920 yet.
    Games I want to see would be more multiplayer orientated titles even if they were all puzzle games.

    I am very upset with my wp8. I still use my old wp7 more to play games because there are more wp7 games than wp8 games. Wp8 only has angry birds space and star wars exclusively with achievements over wp7. But, wp7 has about 20 games wp8 doesn't have. Also, no dotw or new release games on WP in 3 weeks. Wtf Microsoft.

    Gravity guy is such a good game but it's so hard. I hope the sequel is a little more realistic with their achievements.

    This is what I'm waiting for as well. We have alphJAX now, but they're selling 4G with the premise of real time gaming.

    Microsoft is working on fixing those games, so they should at some point in the future be playable on the WP8. And even if they don't manage to fix them, those numbers will eventually switch after more and more releases such that WP8 has the majority of games. It is still quite a new platform after all.

    There was also a release last week (AlphaJax) and they already announced two or so weeks ago there would be no DotW for WP until after the New Year. Which is fine by me, given the low prices of WP games, and the fact many of them have seen permanent discounts within the past few months.
    I miss the good old days of WW2 Call of Duty

    Not all of them, but I think the ones that don't work have been removed from the marketplace. They might come back later if they are updated to work on WP8.

    Very happy with my Lumia 900. I can't even use an iphone anymore because it's so tiny. Feels like I'm going to crush the little guy. Should've waited a couple weeks though and picked up the 920 though because it looks like games are starting to switch over.

    I am glad they are adding more Win 8 phone games. I recently bought the Nokia Lumina 920 it is a fantastic device!!!
