Thread: Cell phone Games are HORRIBLE

Cell Phone games are no subsitutes for PC Gaming or Console Gaming but when your on the go, THEY ARE GREAT.

You just have to have the right game and the right phone. I have the LG Voyager and it is great. Large screens to play on and Tetris is great.

You can’t really expect that much quality from cell phone games. I think cell phone games are just for pastime and not really comparable to PC and console gaming.

Not all cell phone games are horrible. There are many good ones too. Like I have NFS Prostreet, carbon, and most wanted. All three are awesome. Also, city bloxx is really good too.

I think it really depends on what type of phone you are using. If you are using a Nokia N-gage it’s not bad to play games on it because it is intended for gaming. For the regular phones I think that’s a different story.

Most cellphones have screens the size of postage stamps. The best audio they have is dual-channel at best. And let's not even talk about the inherent impossibility of playing something like Civilization IV on a keypad.

Touch-screens, though, have potential

Well, mine is a Sony Ericsson W700i, and I can enjoy a hell lot of games. NFS prostreet, Carbon, all flawless. They're definitely mobile versions though before someone says that its impossible to run them on mobiles.

I suggest you all to look at Free Ringtones - Free MP3 Ringtones - Free Mobile Downloads - Mobiles24.com for very good mobile games.

They're only horrible now because screens are small, and Java was never meant for gaming there's hope on the horizon though. Google's Android is a cellphone development platform that supports 3D acceleration it would be very interesting to see where cellphone gaming goes when this platform is complete

I've had horrible experiences with cell phone gaming. I payed $2.99 for a hockey game, thinking it would pass some time in the airport. The game was just ...so... bad. I think the main problem is that nothing on a cellphone is meant to be used to control a game.

Well DUH. :P

The only games worth playing are the classics, like pong-type games, tetris, pacman... but even THEY can get annoying.

That one designed for iPhones by the people who made Guitar Hero (I think) was pretty interesting though. Where you upload your songs and it generates the beat or whatever and you play a game similar in design to GH.

I'd love to see a powerful game cellphone with a gaming attachment... Click the controller into the bottom of the phone, turn the game on, and pass amazing amounts of time when you're bored!

I think that you'd be getting into handheld territory with that idea though - why get a gaming phone if you could just get a PSP?
