@ klooher,

Hi. The two games I am addicted to are Huff n' Puff, which is an Angry Birds-like game, and Ivy the Kiwi. Both have great looking graphics and they are fun to play. They are also challenging. Here is some info on both games:

Huff n' Puff is a game to kill the pigs in their structures, or homes. You play as the Big Bad Wolf and you want to go out and collect your "hams". You go and kill Pigs using your breath to blow the house down. What sets this game apart is the game supports two modes of play: tapping the screen, or using the microphone on your device to "blow" into. What this does is when you are in the level, it activates the Wolf's breath inhale so depending on how soft or hard you blow air into the mic also affects the power Wolf will use to blow down the house. you can toggle between the two. As the levels progress, you could use something like a chili pepper to eat and then use Wolf's breath to set fire to wodden structures. There are also two other food items (ice cream and onion).

The drawback on playing this game on the Touch Pro, or on any VGA screen device, is it was meant for WVGA screens. The game formats itself (but there will be black bars on top and bottom of the screen when the game is in its default landscape mode), but the touch points where to activate the soft buttons are a little off, so you wouldn't be touching some the icon(s) directly, but rather slightly above them. If you can live with that then this is a great choice to play. Suggest to use your stylus when playing.

The second game, Ivy the Kiwi, is a platformer game (side scroll game like Mario). You do not directly control Kiwi (which is a bird). Kiwi moves back and forth on its own. What you do is you use your stylus to create vines for Kiwi to get across from the start to the Goal. The concept itself is fairly simple, but the levels do get harder and more complexed. Each level is timed, and the optional objective is to collect feathers. In each level there are 10 feathers to grab. The game was eventually ported to the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo DS. Windows Mobile seemed to have been forgotten, but it is available in the marketplace. I havent beaten this game yet. There are two tutprial videos in the game so you can get aquainted with the gameplay. The color scheme is fairly bland in a way, since there isn't much color but at the same time there is a beauty in the game visually. It looks hand drawn and the versions for Nintendo have much more color, but I still enjoy the game immensely.

If you are into an RPG style action/adventure game, play Zenonia. I havent tried it yet, and I have the .cab file for it but i havent installed it yet so i can't really say. I would suggest going on youtube and check these games out and watch the videos to see if you woudl like them (better yet, do a Google search). If you are into the RTS games, how about checking out Autumn Dynasty Lite? The game is really short, but you can replay it. Both Autumn Dynasty and Huff n' Puff are made by Touch Dimensions. Go on their site and look up those two games. Autumn Dynasty looks like artwork. Trust me, it does!

If you send me a PM, then i can send you links to where I found games and you can check them out for yourself. i found certain full-games (that are on sale through Handango and such) on certain hosting sites and downloaded them from there but I suggest if you are going to do that then to find the .cab file, extract on your PC and run a virus scanner just to be safe. Not sure if a desktop virus scanner would actually pick up a virus extracted out of a .cab file meant for Windows Mobile, but it gives me peace of mind, and I have yet to get a virus. I also have Lookout Mobile Security on my device too for the virus protection (i highly recommend this product).

I hope I was able to help. Please let me know if you found any interesting games.
