ZIOSoft, creators of some of the most famous Pocket PC games (including FIFA 2002, Need For Speed and Age of Empires), bring the character to a new 3rd-person shooter. We got a sneak-peek, and here’s what we found."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/spawn.jpg" />

Not to be obnoxious or anything, but isn't it the case that one of the "most famous Pocket PC games" in their lede (namely Need For Speed) hasn't been released yet?

Sounds like this can bring a whole new meaning to the term "productivity app" (that is, one that can absorb all your excess productivity), but I'd rather have the racing game myself.

That racing game is 30 bucks!
As far as I know, Spawn is free.

ipaq38vette: True, the Ziosoft website currently says that the price for Spawn is $0. But I doubt that they'll just give it away when it's released.

I'll make a bet with you:
If it turns out that Spawn's not free when it's released, you buy Spawn for me.
If it's free when it's released, I'll buy Spawn for you.

Alright, NFS isn't yet released. But as the reviewer, I get a chance to defend myself :). Spawn won't be free, and neither will NFS, unless ZIO suddenly become insane somewhere along the line. Spawn is good, but it has some massive deficiencies. I will get a chance to look at NFS in due course, and will have a review for that done. If you have any suggestions, feel free to PM me. All the best, Ant

Edited for minor grammatical mistakes :)

'Salright, you can take nitpicking as a sign that your basic work is good and your reasoning sound.

Spawn won't be free, and neither will NFS, unless ZIO suddenly become insane somewhere along the line.

We can only hope.
