@Brent1700 No, I actually didn't. I see what they are trying to do, and it works great. I've been wanting them to connect their platforms forever, but what I'm saying is I'd be more impressed with maybe a better game....
Why not? A game doesn't need to have Fallout 3 quality graphics to be good. Graphics quality levels could also scale from platform to platform. On the Xbox and PC you get high poly counts and large textures, while on the phone things are pulled way back.
For someone name creativity you don't have much of an imagination.
@ Again, I'm all for this integration, I've been asking for this for years. I just want to see how much it can really do. I'm not saying I don't like it, I'm just not as impressed as I would have liked.
@Creativity Oh I just saw your new post above mine. You have every right to be skeptical. After all we won't know the full story until MIX. We can hope, however.
@Creativity That game is actually the demo project that comes with XNA, so I've seen it running on the PC and 360 (and theoretically Zune) with no change to the code (the compiler handles the rest). They have great potential in this, especially with the Xbox Live Arcade (the real virtual arcade I mean... ah forget it). Buy once, run on four platforms? Sounds neat to me.

They have that game for the Zune HD, so I don't find this that impressive...
I still think windows phone 7 is going to be amazing though...
@Creativity someone completely missed the point...
@Creativity
You aren't creative enough.

@Creativity
This is a proof of concept, not a game exhibition. It's up to the developers to make the better games.
@Creativity
LOL @ you name and your comment. The irony.
@Missing Matter
I understand that, but I just don't think the phone will be able to handle games that are really good enough to merit applause...

I'm sorry I'm not jumping right on the bandwagon. I'm just a bit skeptical, and rightly so. We'll see how this turns out.
@Creativity Really? I beg to differ, and add that consumers will be more than happy to have this type of integration.
