Microsoft announced that Sudoku and Minesweeper are now available for Windows Phone.
Both games are available in the U.S. Marketplace for Windows Phone at no cost, supported by advertisements. The games are also Xbox LIVE enabled and come complete with achievements and power ups. Microsoft describes both games as “two of the most immensely popular puzzle games of all time.”
Minesweeper
Your goal is to clear minefields using flags to safely mark potential mines. Sweep your way through Classic and Speed modes, each with as many as four different levels of difficulty. Earn powerups as you play to help you navigate the board and unlock achievements for your LIVE account. But, be careful – one wrong move will detonate the entire board.
Sudoku
“Sudoku,” a numbers-based logic game, comes with Classic and Lightning modes and offers hours of entertainment. Earn powerups and LIVE achievements and put your brain to the test!
Microsoft also revealed that Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 is now available for $2.99 as part of its “deal for the week” promotion for Windows Phone 7. The software giant plans to make IonBallEX available for just $2.99 from next week.
Microsoft announced some feature updates to its Bing Mobile service.
Mall Maps and Map Search have both been added to Bing for Mobile Browse. Mall Maps has been available on the web desktop version of Bing for over six months and allows Bing users to discover stores inside Mall spaces on Bing Maps. Microsoft’s collection of over 400 shopping malls is now available from the Bing Mobile m.bing.com site.
Microsoft has also included Map Search in its latest update. Bing Maps mobile now has a split view for when users search within Maps. Bing Maps users can pan around the map and hit refresh in their browser to get results listed on the position of the map. “The map highlights the business locations as you scroll through the list making it easy to see where all the options are located,” explained Bing Maps program manager Roberto Bojorquez Alfaro in a blog post.
Mall Maps are available immediately for mobile devices that support HTML5, including Android, iPhone and RIM devices. Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7.5 includes Mall Maps directly within the Bing maps interface
