BubbleBreaker
This little game is already installed on your HTC HD2. It's kind of hidden though, go to the Explorer, My Device\Windows and find Bubble Breaker.exe. Hold down on the exe until the menu appears and select copy from it. Go the Start Menu folder then Programs\Games. Hold an empty space and select "Paste Shortcut" from the menu. It should appear in your Honeycomb Menu Games Folder now.
CleanEX HQ - The Ultimate Clean and Fast ROM
The main attraction factor for this ROM was the improved photo quality.
Guess what - now you can take photos with your HTC HD2 flash and the cell phone doesn't make an overexposured mess out of it.
Contrary to most other custom ROMs, this ROMs doesn't have any extraordinary (=ugly mostly) design quirks on it, it looks pretty much like the official ROM. Many program icons have been improved in resolution. The framerate on all HTC Sense animations is improved in this ROM, due to technical reasons I don't really understand. Some bugs I've had before (using the off. German O2 ROM) are gone, for example the weather updates on EDGE too now.
There are some useful apps included and Opera is updated to Opera 9.7, which includes an improved website viewing quality (chess-pattern be gone) and some nice new functions like a viewable website history if you tap back. It's nice to have those apps like TorchButtons (use your camera flash as a flashlight) installed without having to download them seperately.
There are some downsides to the ROMs too though, like how you can't access the HTC Sense settings, which include important functions like how to define your HTC sense menu and how long it takes before the screen goes into stand-by. You can only access the original Windows Mobile settings which look pretty shitty and are difficult to access by finger-touch.
Overall the ROM offers a satisfying experience though. It's fast, stable and includes lots of useful apps.

Hunting Lite
If you've got some time to waste, go to the Windows Marketplace and download Hunting Lite.
It's a demo of a Tower Defense with a lot of charm. Unfortunately it's only in VGA resolution, so you'll see some black bars left and right, but it's not that big of a deal.You can only select 2 Levels on easy, but you can't complain if it's free, right?
The full version only costs 1,39€, so that's pretty cheap if you want more Tower Defense fun.

MyPlayer
If you are bored and don't have a TV in reach, don't worry.
Just download this App and you'll be able to watch everything you could wish for.
BBC programmes, Hulu, SBS Australia... You can simply choose you content and watch it.
You can choose from three quality settings: Low, which looks horrible, medium which looks acceptable and high which looks very great. If you let the content stream through the MyPlayer server you have to pay for bandwith after using up 500 MB though (one Simpsons episode in high quality measured up to 220MB).
Watching MyPlayer through a Wi-Fi connection didn't really work on my HTC HD2,
if you experience the same problem just choose CorePlayer for example as your video player in the options.
All in all, this is a very great and entertaining add. Don't be afraid to pay for your bandwith, only death is free ;)
