Just got my first ever smartphone, what games should I get?

I finally have a steady enough income to allow for owning a cellphone, so I grabbed a Lumia 630 this morning.

I had never even seen a Windows phone in person, let alone used one, so I'm a bit lost. I wasn't think at all about gaming on the device when I got it initially. I bought it to use as a phone after all, but I started to look into what games are available, and I figured I would ask you guys as well.

Emulators? Ports? Original titles? Exclusives? What can I play on this thing?

Get Hoplite.

Ain't got much to add since I don't really like using my phone for games. Find turn based stuff works pretty well though.

Everyone and their mom will come in to suggest Threes! I'm sure and there are a lot of other games in that vein.

What are your mobile gaming habits? That probably matters most.

Emulated games can be ok if it's simple but anything actiony (re: Mega Man styles) is probably best avoided.

I have an Android phone but I could play through all of Megaman X1 perfectly after I connected a controller.

Anyway I have no clue what's on Windows Phones. Sorry.

Super Hexagon.

Huebrix.

Rayman Fiesta Run. (and it's predecessor)

Draw Race.

Ridiculous Fishing.

These are well recieved games (by the traditional games press) that I've spent a lot of time with and loved. There are several more but search for em and see what you think!

hahaha come on man! That ain't playing fair. I could play SF2 on my phone after I connected a fighting stick as well :P

I thought the OP would just be looking for standard ass phone games, but fair enough. If he's gonna use a controller, that's a whole new world.

Spin Copters

Pfttttt Tetris is pretty good

Galaxy on Fire 1 and II are really good.

Windows Phone is still a thing?

Well, fuck.

Semi-related note. I am on an older Mac (10.6), how the fuck do I transfer files to my phone?

2048

But seriously:

Threes is fun, Doodle Jump is a fun time waster, 10 million is a great puzzle game. Square Enix has a bunch of overpriced Final Fantasy games in the Apple app store if you're into that, though I'm not sure if they have those on your platform.

I actually bought and played through Mega Man 2 on my iPod Touch a few years ago using the on-screen controller. Because I am a crazy person.

I like geodefense and geodefense swarm, they are both tower defense games. Microsoft solitaire or solitaire gameschest, wordament, Sudoku, puzzle quest 2. Those are the mobile games I've played on my lumia 1520(or 900/the one I had before 900) and liked. I've had windowsphone since before it was windows phone, I'm just not that into mobile games. I also know all of those games work fine on 512mb devices.

Definitely get Threes!. If you're into wrestling I guess I would also say WWE SuperCard but consider this a warning that it is a very very bad game but will -- for whatever reason -- sink it's hooks into you.

Also a lot of the Adult Swim mobile games are pretty fantastic.

as a current Windows Phone user

of the games that i have downloaded before

• Wordament ?
• Wordament Snap Attack ?
• Pac-Man Championship Edition DX (I got it when it was on sale for $0.99 it's $ 6 right now, probably the best game on the plat.)
• Crimson Dragon Side Story is pretty alright, it's a buck.
• Kinectimals (yup i've played that for like an hour, it was okay)
• geoDefense is awesome
• Uno
• ilomilo

I got a windows phone, Pako's a good one on there but I'm pretty sure there are a few gameboy emulators on there too. Honestly, I don't play many games on it. I just use it as a phone that has internet on it.

Probably Ingress.

Don't know if they're on Windows Phone, Osmos, Cook Serve Delicious and Super Hexagon are pretty cool. Once the novelty wore off I got bored of phone games pretty fast, though.
