I recently got a new T-Mobile G2. Any time I get a new gadget, I always investigate its gaming potential, whether it's intended by the device creators or otherwise. I still remember writing a simple Final Fantasy-like game for my old calculator in High School. I've also always installed solitaire on even the most basic cellphones when possible, because, well, you never know when you'll need it.
Fortunately, this device doesn't make gaming so hard. In fact, with the fast CPU, capacitive touch screen, and physical keyboard and trackpad, it doesn't get too much better for a cellphone. And the Android Market doesn't disappoint when it comes to variety. And last but most certainly not least, it's not a closed system like an iPhone. Closed off systems drive me nuts - I will only accept openness, and Android provides that in spades. But that's perhaps for another blog post.
As for games themselves, I have downloaded around 30 so far, but I have mostly played just a few of them so far. I have played Angry Birds the most by far. I highly recommend it. And since the Android version is ad supported freeware, there is no excuse - grab it now.
Other good ones include Frozen Bubble - which is a classic ported from desktop Linux. Bonzai Blast is also high quality, as is PewPew. My wife likes Glow Hockey, and of course I had to load the requisite Solitaire Free Pack. OpenSudoku is also nice. Please beware of violence and scantily clad ladies (only in the menus), but Gun Bros. is a very high quality game, which reminds me of Ikari Warriors somewhat. But I'm not too thrilled with the menu 'decoration', so we'll see how long I keep it on my phone.
I could talk about others also, but suffice it to say that I don't need much more convincing on one point - Nintendo and Sony should definitely continue to make sure that they offer compelling portable gaming experiences that are worth bringing along another device for, because since getting this phone I've been trying game after game, and playing little else.
