Full House Poker is coming on March 16 for $US3 on Windows Phone and $US10 on Xbox Live Arcade. The cool bit is that you can actually play cross platform against 360/Windows Phone people from either device, keeping your money and experience no matter which one you use. [Joystiq]
It’s a good sign to see very popular iOS games – Fruit Ninja and Pocket God – get ported to Windows Phone 7. These games, and the previous games that got ported, means developers are able to make the transition from iOS/Android to Windows Phone rather easily, unlike the transition from iOS to Android, which seems to be taking longer. Good for you Windows Phone users.
New platforms mean cool new games! Crackdown 2, an extension of the popular Crackdown franchise for Xbox, is a WP7 tower defence game with a twist: you defend real locations using Bing Maps. It’s Microsoft synergy at its finest!
Windows Phone 7 devices – aka the Xbox phones – begin arriving in stores today and Microsoft is hoping that gamers will be among the first to snatch up these new smartphones.

Taking a spin through some of Windows Phone 7′s first games and apps, it’s hard not to be impressed. Twitter looks and feels fantastic, and you have to check out this ridiculous 3D tower defence game, Bye Bye Brain. Update: More apps!
It looks like Windows Phone 7 is going to have at least one pretty game on it when it arrives, in the shape of Bye Bye Brain – a 3D zombie-based tower defence game.
Having been months since we’ve seen any WP7 games, you should (re)acquaint yourself with the Xbox game Shoot 1UP. It’s fast, it’s furious (mostly as it’s running at 10x the speed on a WP7 emulator), and it looks awesome.
