'Must-Have Games' line-up for Window Phones detailed

'Must-Have Games' line-up for Window Phones detailed photo

Mimicking its approach to special release schedules on Xbox Live Arcade, Microsoft has gathered up five impending Windows Phone games and prepared them for a weekly roll out next month.

February 1: Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit ($4.99)
February 8: BulletAsylum ($2.99)
February 15: Chickens Can't Fly ($2.99)
February 22: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction ($4.99)
February 29: Toy Soldiers: Boot Camp ($2.99)

Dubbing this "Must-Have Games" might be pushing it a bit too far, though I have admittedly never touched this selection before. They've got Achievements, which is presumably a selling point for some of you. I suspect any attention to Windows Phone, game-wise, is good attention.

Conviction was solid.

Everyone needs to get Wordament right now!
I am still not aware of a game on android or iphone where you play against everyone else who is playing the game at that same time. Its a 3 minute rotating worldwide leaderboard.

Here's what Xbox One game cases look like

Xbox Live director of programming Larry Hyrb has shared an image of what Xbox One game boxes will look like when they appear on store shelves later this year. Yes, it's that time of the evening when we closely examine the packaging that houses our media. Less busy than the cases for Xbox 360 titles, at least. I can dig that.

Jimquisition: Xbox One out of Ten

The Xbox One was revealed this weak to thunderous applause. Oh wait, did we say applause? We meant, farts. Thunderous farts. Speaking of farts, here's a man who loves the smell of his, tearing Microsoft's unified entertainment philosophy to shreds and arguing how the Xbox One is basically a system for nobody but the privileged and demented.
