So, you have your mind set on getting a Windows Phone 8 smartphone, but you are still wondering what kind of games the platform will have to offer. Well, here is a clue: Gameloft announced that it will launch 12 of its popular games to Microsoft's platform, including titles like Order & Chaos Online, N.O.V.A. 3, and Asphalt 7: Heat.

All games will be integrated with Xbox for Windows Phone 8, so players will be able to submit scores to online leaderboards and unlock achievements. Also through Xbox, gamers will have the chance to play online against real opponents. Online multiplayer will be enabled in six of Gameloft's twelve upcoming WP8 titles. Release dates and prices have not been disclosed yet, but we hope to learn more pretty soon.

The list of games that Gameloft will bring to Windows Phone 8 includes:

  • The Amazing Spider-Man
  • Asphalt 7: Heat

  • Fashion Icon
  • Ice Age Village
  • Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour

At first they were boasting that adult rated games wont be allowed in Windows store, now they do... They never keep their word... Typical windows....

I am really impressed with the Windows phone so far and the addition of these games are making a compelling arguement for a WP handset to be my secondary phone

now we're talking! after I see how some of these titles perform on Lumia 920 - I will decide whether I'll buy one or not

Android didn't come up with 500,000 apps from the first go...it took them time!!
Windows will follow the same trend... But i can see that it's getting better and better!! :)

Dude, how do you think it will perform? They won't make it if it doesn't work good...

"Temple Run, and many other Unity Engine-based games are coming to Windows Phone 8 (previous WP versions didn't support Unity)."

From yesterday's WP8 launch event

So, twelve games for next year?
They will release 35 this year only on android and IOS .

Still, this is good enough of a start for WP

7. Mobile-X-Pert posted on 30 Oct 2012, 09:51 1

Actually, the release date says 2012/2013, hope doesn't take long.

12. RaKithAPeiRiZ posted on 30 Oct 2012, 11:30

So problem is next year blackberry and windows phone will run similarly , so it will be a 2 horse race.to the number 3 position , and by the way , these 12 games will look old when new titles hit android and ios next year

14. haseebzahid posted on 30 Oct 2012, 12:03 1

maybe new titles will start coming on all three OS since wp7 was lacking engine support but WP8 is genaric for all i think developers will now take three parallel

15. Cyan3boN posted on 30 Oct 2012, 12:24

what about the original Nova and Nova 2. that'd be like watching the dark night rises before watching the first two sequels

17. aoikemono27 posted on 30 Oct 2012, 19:54

Yay??? I don't play a single Gameloft game. Back when they had the 99cent sale, I bought like 10 games. They were huge in size and ate up my iPad's storage. I played each for five minutes, saw how generic and ugly the games were, and removed each one. No where near console quality, of any generation. You may have the horsepower, but you don't have the production values nor the time. More like amateur projects or forced labor products. And what do you expect for 99cents? The good games cost money, and when the prices go up, so do the pirates, so no developer even bothers with any GOOD games on mobile.

Stick to the puzzle and 99cent stuff, the 30second bite-sized games that are touch-friendly.

BS
This makes me doubt you ever played NOVA 3 and Modern Combat 3 ..

Those shooters are full blown games that can actually compare to COD and HALO from 7-5 years ago

18. avidb posted on 30 Oct 2012, 22:09

YES!!!!!

19. avidb posted on 30 Oct 2012, 22:10

I Cant wait to see the level of quality games that WPhones can bring!!!
