Angry Birds, Plants vs Zombies, Sonic 4 and more coming to Windows Phone 7 before July
Microsoft Brings Six Bangers
Clear your schedule: Angry Birds and five other games are finally coming to Windows Phone 7 over the next six weeks. They are the must-have Xbox titles and they're looking good.
• Hydro Thunder GP on 25 May, £3.99
• Doodle Jump on 1 June, £2.49
• geoDefense on 8 June, £2.49
• Sonic the Hedgehog 4, Episode 1 on 15 June, £5.49
• Plants v Zombies on 22 June, £3.99
• Angry Birds comes on 29 June, £2.49
Of course, we’ve been playing most of these games for months, if not years, but it’s nice to see them on Microsoft’s growing platform.
Of some concern is the high price point: Doodle Jump costs 59p/99c on the iPhone, and that’s a pretty penny for one episode of Sonic the Hedgehog 4.
We've had some hands-on time with both Hydro Thunder GP and Sonic the Hedgehog 4, Episode 1. They were smooth, gorgeous, and responsive, so the additional dough may be worth it – especially if you already have a WP7 phone you love.
