Xperiancer have posted up a great list of various games that are compatible with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. While many games were tested, unfortunately not all were successful with many not running or causing problems. In some instances the games only displayed in VGA, whcih left part of the previous window still showing. Fortunately, more games and apps have come to support the WVGA resolution. Also games which still run in VGA, no longer leave the previous window showing but instead changes part of the screen to a black space.

The list provided below isn’t a comprehensive list of games that work on the X1, but Xperiancer are to follow this up with a Part 2, so hopefully we should see some more familiar games listed.

The Gameloft Collection (Java based games)

Gameloft, at this moment, offers 12 games that are compatible with Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. These include my favorites:

• Abracadaball – An addictive aim-and-shoot puzzle that lets you escape to a magical universe, full of enchantments.
• Block Breaker Deluxe – Get ready for a frenzy of block breaking action and discover a fun and original universe through the countless levels of Block Breaker Deluxe!
• Bubble Bash – Take off for Bubble Island! Burst bubbles and make your way through the 100 levels of this surprising puzzle game.

Windows Mobile Games

Xperia comes with its own set of 4 games pre-installed on the device, including; Astraware Sudoku, Bejeweled 2, Bubble Breaker, and Solitaire. But for us mobile users it is always about what more you can get on the device rather than what is already pre-installed. So… without further delay, here are the windows mobile games that I have installed on my Xperia that support full WVGA resolution:

• Acky’s XP Breakout
• Atomic Cannon
• Astraware Bookworm Deluxe!
• Quartz 2 Deluxe
• Astraware Rocket Mania*
• Smart Mahjongg
• Astraware Zuma*

* – These games are not actually WVGA but cover the entire screen none-the-less with the game’s menubar at the bottom and the mobile taskbar at the top.

And the following is a list of games that work in VGA resolution in full-screen (i.e. with the remaining portion of the screen blacked out), thus totally playable on the Xperia.

• Age of Empires
• SPB Games
  • SPB Air Island
  • SPB Arkaball II
  • SPB Balltracker
  • SPB Brain Evolution
  • SPB Bubbles
  • SPB Matches
  • SPB Numbers
  • SPB Quadronica
  • SPB Xonix II
• Astraware Boardgames
• Bust ‘em
• Chuzzle
• Click Deluxe 2
• Cubis
• Dynomite
• Gamebox Asia
• Hexic
• Mozaki
