The HTC HD7 has Xbox Live capability. There's tons of games you can get just like any game on a phone. The Xbox Live ones usually have like 10 to 12 achievements totalling 200G per game. Things like Angry Birds and stuff.

And Dean just because someone might have trouble paying several hundred for a console and decent games doesn't mean they're on the job seekers allowance and on their ass doing nothing, like I said, narrow minded.

P.S. I started playing in Sep 2005, so before your time.

Why are you here Dean? ;)

Let me answer the belch of ignorance you'd call a retort before you spout it. You come back, yes.. but you don't play. Now.. I drink but I don't do drugs. Either way i'm looking for a high but I don't necessarily go to the extent other people go to get it. Same with you... you come back here for whatever reason. Perhaps others are here for that reason too, they just go a bit further than you do these days to get it. Some people drink and do drugs as an escape, some do it for entertainment... whatever the reasons be numerous. Same for this game.

As for it being outdated etc etc.... Exhibit A would be Amish people.

lol.

Semper 2012 - still educating the masses.

i know people with a job who can not afford an x box, some people make next to nothing from jobs, and i know people at my school who can not afford an xbox because... wait for it.... they are spending any money they make on school, and did not get much scolarships so they are having to spend all that they make on tuition, books, and to get by because they do not want to take loans :O imagine that. and then there were people like me, so while i got scholarships and can afford those consols, i was home maybe one day week where i wasn't home long enough just to go to sleep and get back up and go to school, school, or hang with friends (and anybody that talked to me on msn knows i was usually on my phone on a bus, inbetween classes, or in class or at work when talking to you guys, in fact a few people in TL made a joke about me always being on the bus) and while yes i can afford an xbox, or any of those kind of systems, i'm never home to use it, while i can play sgw from phone, laptop, ipad, or any other number of portable devices i have. and one of my faveorite parts of the game wasn't the game itself, but the people, so while i may have retired, im still on msn and keep in touch with people quite regularally through my phone. and in class, sometimes lessons are stuff you have already covered or know the material of, or inbetween classes, or at work on break you have time. lots of times you can play sgw where you can't play something like an xbox, as well as this game is free.

I know many people will disagree with this, but in my opinion, the game began to die when the ability to kill untrained units (there were no mining units at this stage) was taken away. It meant that powerful players started getting exponentially bigger and there was no real way to stop them. It was also much harder for newer players to really catch up. I was at least partially wrong because it's still going today, but even just logging in for the first time in years, the numbers even in quantum are astronomical. I can't even get my head around them there, it'd be nuts to think where the numbers in main are at.
