There’s nothing really amazing of breath-taking here so just Hit the break for more info about the games and a videos:

Hasta la Muerte:

This games was already announced nearly one year ago here.

In this Windows Phone exclusive, you are an emissary of death responsible for freeing the souls of those whose time has come. If you fail, the souls of the dead will turn lost and cursed trying to return to the world of the living. Encounter many trials, bosses and enemies in over 30 worlds with the aid of “Soulpets”, or friendly souls, ready to help in this thrilling quest.

Top Gun:

Defend the skies in the most authentic first person jet shooter game on Windows Phone. Attempt to become one of the few to survive the Highway to the Danger Zone! Shoot down enemy jets, dodge incoming air-to-air and surface-to-air missiles, navigate dangerous environments and obliterate the enemy’s air power.

You are Maverick, now a trainer at the Top Gun Academy. A new, hostile threat has begun encroaching upon our Naval space, and it is up to you to fend off these unfriendly bogies in your hyper-sonic fighter jet.

Splinter Cell: Conviction:

The benchmark of action stealth games on console is available for the first time on W7 phones.

**Slide to play: “Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction looks and plays great, and it’s rare that we see such a sophisticated stealth game on this platform.”

Unleash the ferocious skills of renegade agent Sam Fisher.

Play as Sam Fisher, a highly skilled Special Forces operative and fight a corrupted secret agency to get your daughter back. Follow a trail of intrigue that leads from Iraq to a high-security building in Washington. Run, jump, fight, and shoot using a handgun, shotgun, AK47 and bazooka, or maintain stealth by improvising with nearby objects. You are now a renegade spy agent; you don’t follow any orders except for your own rules of engagement!

Tentacles:

In this Windows Phone exclusive title, Dr. Phluff conducted an experiment to create the most adorable creature in the world. He spliced together genes from his previous creations, taking the cutest features from each — the big eyes of a baby seal, the helplessness of a new born kitten and the wet nose of a puppy. But

something went wrong, the experiment failed and Dr. Phluff created a being of darkness. Black, heartless, and with absolutely no desire to be cute or loveable in any way,

Lemmy’s a slimy black blob with three tentacles, and a never ending appetite for eyeballs.

Let’s Golf:

Looking for a faster, more colorful and fun golf experience? Then this newest edition of the popular Let’s Golf series is just the thing you need for the most exciting golf adventure you’ll ever find!

Beards & Beaks:

Gnome Town is suddenly overrun with murders of crows so audacious that even Hitchcock would take refuge behind a toadstool. Who knew gnomes and crows could get into a turf war that knows no bounds? It’s a race of treasure heisting, a ballet of gnome flicking and an all-out natural disaster of very

unbecoming behavior. The powers of the Mushroom only add to the chaos and the mystique, becoming your most reliable and “amusing” last-resort defense. If you think everything tastes like chicken and you’re fond of rubber ducks, Beards and Beaks is gonna blow your mind.

Zomb1es:

Z0MB1ES (on teh ph0ne) is a themed twin-stick shooter collection headlined by I MAED A GAM3 W1TH Z0MB1ES 1N IT!!!1, the solidly executed and utterly self-aware celebration of gaming culture through an epic musical masterpiece. Z0MB1ES does its best to span both musical and gaming genres in a streamlined series

of choreographed music video gameplay mashups. Paired with an exclusive music- driven psychedelic shooter, Time Viking, as well as the ENDL3SS Z0MB1ES game mode, Z0MB1ES is infectious fun.
