I reckon the reason why PPC games mostly suck is that PDAs aren't targeted at the gaming audience. Most people will still see them as a really flash filofax, instead of a pocket portable 400MHz PC. If the market isn't there...

The control issue is a good point. NES games were (and are) fun with only 2 buttons and a d-pad. None of your fancy schmancy analog, mind.

How about the Black & White spellcasting (gesture) interface for PDA games? Actually, i reckon that tamagotchi style B&W Creature Island thing would go down a treat on a PDA.
