SuperSite Blog Daily Update: October 2, 2010

As I noted over on the Windows Phone Secrets blog last night, the first Xbox Live games for Windows Phone have appeared: Flowerz and Hexic Rush. Neat, and it's nice to finally play a non-test game. These are the real deal, with achievements and leaderboards. And for a brief, shining moment last night I was the worldwide champion of Flowerz. :)

Microsoft hopes to bury iPhone, Android. Thanks, Captain Obvious. I hope to retire rich. Hold the presses!

The Xmarks bookmark syncing solution is going away. Panic ensues. This is why I don't use bookmarks. I don't like to panic.

Don't knock it. Being worldwide champion of Flowers is something I will never achieve. You're ahead of me yet again, Paul.

It'd be better if it was a port if the PS3 game, "flower". I honestly don't see why they can't port that game to handheld devices, what with the extremely simple controls (SIXAXIS tilt, and every button does the same thing - makes the wind blow). Likely it's the Sony licensing deal (they own "thatgamecompany" now), and the PSP has no axis control.
