Microsoft Brings Six Bangers

Angry Birds, Plants vs Zombies, Sonic 4 and more coming to Windows Phone 7 before July
|

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.
