It is not obvious that to start a new game, you should tap the 'Saved Games' button. Maybe rename it to 'Select Game'?

For the first time user, though, what you really want is 'Start here'. Hmmm. Start and Restart?
Right now I am leaning towards 'Play'.

Well for a first time user it says "New Game" where it currently says "Continue" and the Manage Games link is disabled.
What do you want it to do? I'm already very focused on the new user experience and do a lot of fresh installs

Hmmm. It was just that I wanted to start a new character. And so, while 'continue' says the right thing to me, it occurred to me that 'saved games' doesn't actually leap out at you as the place to 'start a new game'. 'Select Character' or 'Select Game' work better for me for that purpose. It's because it's 'start a new game or switch your main character' is too long to fit that we are having problems here.  |

Simply adding a "load game" button and making the 'first time' "new game" persistent?No doubt for new players,no doubt for us =)

I think that 'continue' works fine, though you could rename it to 'load current game' if we wanted to be more long-winded. And its already named 'new game' for first time players. It's the other button, that currently says 'Saved Games' that is confusing for the person who doesn't have any saved games, or doesn't want to play them, and doesn't want to continue with the current game. 'Start a New Game' does not obviously belong under Saved Games. Maybe 'Switch Games'? or 'Change Character?' I actually looked under 'More Games' first, and got sent to Android Market to find out about Star Traders. |

Slashes solve everything. Id vote for New/Load instead of saved games, and keep continue its super convenient.
