The site has quite a few screenshots, and it's looking good.

Hey Marlof, get with it... AIR BAGS :D

Actually I have been waiting for this game to come out. I enjoy racing games on PPCs. This is supposed to be a great game. I hope so, so far the graghics look like they may need a little improving. We will just have to wait and see. Zio have put out some great work so far.

car racing games on a damn PDA is just ABSURD!

the developers need to to STOP with this crap!

This is a DAMN PDA, Personal Digital Assistant not a damn arcade machine.

Playing videos is OK. listening to MP3s is OK, contacts, word processing blah is OK not damn racing!

keep the games to a limit for crying out loud!
:x :x :x :x

Palm said the same thing about listening to MP3s a year ago. :wink:

I don't think there's such thing as too much development for a platform - if people want to play car racing games, why not?

Ok, YOUR the absurd one. YOu entire post is just idiotic. If you dont like it DONT DOWNLOAD IT. SOME OF US WANT GAMES

[bblock]

oh, by the way, adhd-dude - it's not a PDA, it's a POCKET PC. As in a PC that fits in your pocket. It just happens to do PDA-type things as well.

adhd-dude needs to take the stick out of his a$$. If you don't like it, don't buy i! :x

[Jason Dunn]

Now, now kids - let's be nice to the new guy even if you don't agree with him! :-)

[adhd-dude]

hey comeon now all i said was games on a PDA are going too far.

no need to all bring out the :twisted: ...sheesh. i take it back

Absurde or not put aside, I find it totally cool and amazing what the programmers are doing there! When you look at the objective (programming Need for Speed) and the available resources (PocketPC) -- I wouldn´t even know where to begin ... For me as a normal user it´s great to see that the limit of what is possible gets pushed a little every day :D renz

[paqman_lover]

first off, i love this site-it's soo cool :)

what is a gameboy but a pocket pc that only plays games.

i can't wait for this game to come out, now if they only made a game controller to attach to my ipaq so it would be easier to play these games.

I've played NFS on the PC since the third installment came out some years ago, and a sweeter suite of driving games for the PC is hard to find. Let's hope the PPC treatment of this game-series lives up to my great expectations.

As for those figuring that PPC should only be used for "serious" stuff like PIM, word and excel... Hmm... Life ain't all business you know. We need fun to. And what better way to survive a 2 hour go-nowhere drop dead boring meeting, than fishing up your PPC and, say, continue your mayoral duties in SimCity. All the while looking to your peers as you're focused on the meeting taking notes avidly :D

Come to think of it, I actually play a lot of games on my PPC. Here's a top 5 list of what I currently play:

1: SimCity 2k (strategy)
2: PocketSlay (strategy)
3: Zio Golf2 (er, golf)
3: Rayman (platform/arcade)
4: Taipei (aka mahjong, board game)
