Sure this is great and all but lack of controls is a big let down for me. I own an iphone and I hate gaming on it. Controlling them involves blocking my view of the screen with my fingers. Not Ideal.

I will admit though, these graphic look great and I am interested to see what direction Microsoft is going to take the Zune.]]>Nov 11th 2009 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/Nov 11th 2009 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/
What this does for me...it doesn't really make me go "wow" at the Zune HD (I do have one). Because for me...it's a MP3 player first and foremost. And I have the same gripe about all touchscreen gaming. Obstruction of view and too much screen taken for controls or the lack of.

But what this does get me excited about is the rumor of the next DS iteration using the Tegra chipset. if it's looking this good in the beginning stage...on a MP3 player. Just imaging a full fledged gaming device taking ability of it. I get chills...]]>Nov 11th 2009 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/
I'm not too terribly up-to-date on the Zune HD, but supposing it has Bluetooth (which I'm sure it does) they could always make peripherals for it. Still, not as ideal as controls on the phone I suppose, but it'd be better than on-screen.]]>Nov 11th 2009 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/Nov 11th 2009 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/
Megarace, a CD PC game, looked a lot better than Gran Turismo 1. But was it? No... it was on rails instead of a simulation, and just wasn't nearly as much fun or advanced. Graphics alone are not even close to enough to make this game as entertaining as Gran Turismo on the PSP. The controls simply are not there to make this thing a competent game machine. That's a shame, because with a dpad and two buttons, I think this would be kickass.

Though free games sound great, and I want more all in one devices, this is not as good an all in one as a PSP.]]>Nov 11th 2009 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/
Assuming these can be played without internet connection.

I'll also add that psp games from its 2004 launch were far superior to this "pgr: ferrari edition" (ridge racer, wipeout, burnout, etc) and contemporary psp games are laps and bounds better than its launch titles.]]>Nov 11th 2009 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/If that happens, i can see microsoft really competing with you know who.]]>Nov 12th 2009 11:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/Dec 1st 2009 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/Nov 11th 2009 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/Nov 11th 2009 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/
I just really hope that this is another Vista Ultimate Extras afair. If they don't keep pushing content out every 5~6 months, they should just open up development for us programmers.

Now if we could only get an email client and maybe an MSN Messenger program, then I'd be perfectly happy.]]>Nov 11th 2009 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/Nov 11th 2009 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/zune-hd-3d-games-video-hands-on/http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/game-requests/23971-audiosurf.html
