-- Game / App Review --
-----------------------------------------------

Hello and welcome to the largest compiled list of games/applications for the Pocket PC on PPCgeeks.com. I am working to upload as many games/applications as I can to make it easy for PPC users to download games/applications for their phones.

I got sick of searching the forums for every program I wanted. Yes, I could find them but I wanted a thread I could go to and find every game/app I would need for my phone. So I decided to do it myself!

Please do not discuss the games/applications in this thread! If you want to talk about them - please create a new forum or search for a forum that already discusses the game/application. We are trying to keep this thread as low-clutter as possible!

If you have a good recommendation that is not showing up on my list of games/apps then Private Message it to me and I will get it up and reviewed!

News / Thread Updates
---------------------------------------

Update: I have now included links to the page number the game is reviewed at to make it easier to find specific games!

Update: I have included brief descriptions of each program on the front page for easier navigation. I have also listed if the program/application is free for those who are looking for a quick list of free downloads.
