Windows Mobile gaming has really taken a step forward the last couple of months, and these two games really prove it. They are both made by a company called Color Stone Ltd, and they did a fantastic job. The games use OpenGL ES to accelerate their graphics and it really shows. The downside is that these games don’t run on all pocket pc’s but mostly on devices made after 2008. This does include devices such as Touch HD, Touch Pro 2, Touch Diamond 2, and probably the Diamond as well. The games look and play amazing on the beauty that is WVGA screens. Without further a due here are the games.

Flight Commander
Perhaps you have heard of an iPhone application called “Flight Control”. Well Color Stone Ltd basically copied it and it works well on Windows Mobile as well. Check the video of the original on the iPhone right here. The game is good fun and sadly there isn’t a trial version of the game available so you will have to pay 15 dollar for it. To bad, because it’s really a missed opportunity, trials help in making the decision to buy, and yeah it’s a shame but why is this game $1 on the iPhone and $15 on Windows Mobile? Something has to change if Windows Mobile is to gain more popularity. Find the game here: Flight Commander@handago
