Y’know, every time I think I can go a day without talking about Windows Phone 7 Series, bleedin’ Microsoft go and do something, or announce something, or show off something, that makes me give a little fangirl scream (which is quite funny to see, y’know, what with me being a bloke), before going on to blog about it. I can’t help it, I’m like Pavlov’s dog: Microsoft show off something awesome, I go on about it. It’s conditioned in, and I can’t fight it, so I might as well go with it.
Besides which, today’s news is actually, genuinely exciting, especially if you’re a bit of a gamer, or if you even dabble in the games on your mobile phone.
I’ve said, many times now, that if you had to pick one absolute killer app in Windows Phone 7 Series, it would have to be Xbox Live integration, because that’s something absolutely nobody else can replicate yet (at least until Sony get their act together, and release a PSP Phone, with PSN integration), thus making it a unique selling point.
And as USPs go, it’s a doozy, especially since it’ll let you play cross-platform games, carrying on a game from your Xbox when you have to leave the house. It will be, in short, bleedin’ brilliant. As long as, of course, the experience isn’t a bag of poo.
Well, today, thanks to Engadget, we have our first hints of what these cross-platform Xbox Live games might look like. And based purely on these screenshots, I can say that, in my opinion, Windows Phone 7 Series is going to utterly dominate the smartphone market. Forget iPhone gaming, forget the iPad (which is a pointless waste of money, anyway), forget Java games… this, right here, is the future of mobile gaming.
