We sent Dale North tocheck out Windows Phone 7at GDC, and he came away impressed. So impressed, that he talked about it constantly throughout the entire week. Whatever he had seen — both games and general interface — had made him at least consider ditching his current mobile lover, Apple’s iPhone.
WhileDale’s write-upwas pretty detailed, you know what they say — pictures or it didn’t happen. Microsoft wasn’t letting Dale grab any video, so this will have to do — Gizmodo has grabbed video of one of the game’s Dale saw in action,Harvest.
Visually, it looks impressive, some sort of top-down point and click-style game rendered entirely in 3D. Sure, the enemies don’t seem to be attacking the player in this demo, but when they’re attacked, the player earned a 10 point achievement which goes towards their total Xbox LIVE Gamerscore. If you think Gamerscore whores won’t feel compelled to buy these mobile games just to boost their score, you’re fooling yourself.
Gizmodo’s video player isn’t as embed friendly as I’d like, so you’ll have to go check it out there for yourself.
