Kinect is being marketed to everyday people. Hardcore gamers may feel slighted, but Microsoft wants to attract customers it hasn’t had before. Microsoft Advertising announced it is teaming up with three big companies that will advertise its products in Kinect games. By doing this, Microsoft gets to market to consumers through television, the internet and Xbox Live.

Electronic Arts and T-Mobile have entered into an advertising agreement in which we reap the benefits. This partnership allows gamers to download free content from select EA games. There are currently three games this offer has been extended to. More titles are expected to be included in the future.

Here’s a brief review of all the Android-based games (and apps) I downloaded from the Android Market and tried while reviewing the T-Mobile G1 phone.

They are presented in alphabetical order to help make it easier to find in the Android Market. While a few are demos with fuller versions you can purchase, all of these are free to download and try with most being free to keep. The applications are at the bottom of this post and I’ve taken screen shots of almost every game and app listed.

Product: T-Mobile G1Price: $179.99 ($399.99 minus $220 instant rebate)Rating: One thumb up, one sideways; 81/100; B-; * * * out of five.Pros: A great phone with lot of groovy uses. Mini trackball works wonderfully for games, decent graphics for a phone and nice sound. Also has motion-sensitive controls, touchscreen, mini keypad and GPS that can be incorporated into games. A lot of free games in the Android Market.Cons: Touchscreen requires full finger pad contact and sometimes slow to respond. Accelerometer is touchy and mini keypad is hard to see. Battery can be exhausted fairly quickly.Overall: Do not get this to use it as a game device. G1 owners will, however, enjoy many good and inexpensive games that make use of the mini trackball and proper use of the touchscreen, making it better than the average phone for mobile gaming.

The T-Mobile G1 is a mixed bag when it comes to mobile gaming. It’ll play all of the regular games but also promises so much more with the touchscreen, accelerometer motion controls, built-in mini QWERTY keypad and mini track ball. While it’s certainly better than your average cell phone when it comes to gaming, it still has a few annoyances that keep it from being truly amazing.

Google and T-Mobile let the world oogle its newest creation today (September 23, 2008), the T-Mobile G1, the first Android-enabled phone with (according to the press release) “full touch-screen functionality and a QWERTY keyboard with a mobile Web experience that includes the popular Google products.” It’s obviously meant to compete with the iPhone but, then again, what new cell phone isn’t?

Also according to T-Mobile’s press release, the Andorid phone will offer gaming capabilities but specifics – game buttons, game titles, developers, etc. – have not yet been officially announced.

PCMag does point out that there are currently 8 games that can run on Android currently available in the Android Market…
