Weekend Open Forum: Do you game on your cell phone?

Usually when you think of gaming, a tiny screen and cramped controls aren't the first things that come to mind. But in the last year or so smartphone gaming has really kicked off as they get more capable hardware and developers find creative ways to use touch interfaces. So much indeed that Apple's iOS devices alone have already surpassed the Sony PSP as a gaming platform in the U.S., according to a recent survey, while closing in on the DS.

Cut the Rope is incredible (I beat it ), though I played on an iPod.

My modest cell phone doesnt have gaming abilities, but if it did, I'm sure I'd have a game or two, or ten

I've yet to buy a smartphone. Maybe I'll dabble in this once I get a Android, Windows phone 7 smartphone but for now sudoku doesn't cut it.

Yes I do. Currently playing Othello, Brick/Block Breaker, Midnight Pool.

Playing games using the cramped keypads of cellphones is real hassle. I haven't tried touch screen phones yet but they're probably better in that respect. I hope that Microsoft at least tries to make Windows Phone 7 devices affordable. After all, they're really late to this party and you can't get mass market adoption if your products are expensive.

Yes, It has come to that... now that I have very little time left because of work and studies. Usually after lunch I play some soccer matches on the Iphone 4 which is fun and doesn't take too much time... of course on weekends, is PC time, and I dont play on the Iphone...

yes i do been playing tons of games on my moto droid that i proudly have OC to 1.2 GHz hehe

YES! I have an Android device (Galaxy S) ....On my phone atm: Tiki Towers, Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja - Emulators: NES, SNES, GameBoy, Genesis, PSX

I'm very interested in the PSP/Android device that was announced, hopefully the specs aren't final, and they release beefier hardware than what is rumored.

I used to play a version of Space Invades on my last work phone. Unfortunately it broke and my current one lacks any sort of games.

My phone pretends its a smart phone. However its not very good at it, havent even tried to play any games on it.

When the whole "Playing on the Cellphone" thing was new, I did.

It was only for a few days though since it was pointless to play when your out. Heck, gaming on a tiny screen was dumb. Eventually, I uninstalled every game.

I'm with Dsparil.

I don't anymore. I think I am one of the dieing few who just use their phone for texting and calling.

I don't own a cell phone, I barely game on my desktops, and I don't believe in Santa...BAH...HUMBUG...!

I have the original Droid, and I spend quite a lot of time playing games on it. I play Angry Birds, emulators for Genesis, SNES, and PS, and games by a company called Storm8. It's amazing the things that can be done with a phone these days.

I have an old phone so tetris would be all I could play...but I don't have it.

y would u overclock yur phone o.O
most games are designed not to lag and OC will drain yur battery

When I have bit of time I try to play A5 on my cell but I always keep crashing into lamp posts, walls, railings etc. so I end up playing Paper Toss. :rolleyes:

I dont own a cell phone FTW
