I just have to say wow, I mean this game is awesome. In all of the windows phone 7 lineup I'd say this game is only second to ilomilo. The premise is pretty simple, you take your puck, and in as few shots as possible make it past any array of goblins, skeletons, trees, whatever they might throw at you while collecting coins along the way. Sounds simple and boring but once you get to the later levels in the game it really becomes challenging to get that gold coin. Before I tried this I thought I'd be holding out for Super Monkey Ball next week before I picked up another Xbox live title. I was proven wrong, if you're not a big app purchaser I'm sure it will go down in price eventually but if you don't mind throwing out a couple of bucks for a game then this is awesome.
Playability- 10/10, the controls are amazing the geometry behind it is flawless and the game itself has a fun overtone with the narrators.
Replay value- 6/10, I could definitely play through this and come back for a round two after mastering it. I'm not putting it down until I've finished it 100 percent though.
Xbox live integration- 4/10, I love that I can transfer my gold over but if you're past the early levels of Fable 3 the amounts of money you'll make through this game really aren't that considerable... maybe throw in some special gear if we get certain achievements or something but the money... just seems like a cheap afterthought.
Overall- 9/10, the game is awesome but they always leave you expecting more when they promise integration with the associated xbox 360 game. Regardless though this game is definitely worth the purchase and I'd recommend it to anyone.
I downloaded the demo and I have to say, it was quite fun and I don't care for Fable at all. The game itself is just very well done, looks great, and is just plain fun.
I'll take a look at it in a bit

So, I'm in that "ooohhh shiny"(think Homer Simpson) thought process when it comes to looking at tablets. I'm trying to justify the purchase. The problem is I already have an Evo 3d and a laptop. So what can I use a tablet for?
Thanks!
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
eBooks, movies/tv shows on the move (or in the house while Im cooking), audio books, comics, a little adult entertainment too... rofl.
EDIT: And A LOT of web browsing and Pulse.
Ebooks, games, app development, web surfing.
My tablet was a present, I have a laptop, smartphone and several other computers. At first I wondered like you what's the point? Well it is far easier to transport than my laptop, my phone can WiFi tether so it works anyplace my phone has a signal and it is far easier to see than my phones 4" display.
I would not use the word "need" to describe the Acer tablet, but it fills a very nice niche between laptop and phone. I enjoy my tablet very much... I almost forgot to mention my phone does not have a front camera, with my tablet I can see my grandchildren 2000 miles away on Skype on demand. To me that's huge.
I only use my computer for eng design work, adb, and burning cds/movies for family anymore. Any other time i need to get on the computer, i grab the tab.

I also own the EVO 3D and a laptop, along with the A100. I am a geek (as a lot of people on these forums are) and when I decided I wanted a tablet I wasn't thinking "what can I use it for?" because I didn't care at the time. and i am glad I didn't ask because I might have seconded my decision. Here are some ways to use it to help decide (and ill be doing the A100 in specific not necessarily every tablet)
1) Portability: The A100 is 7in which means its a good bit larger than the EVO 3D in screensize yet substantially smaller in screen size (and thickness) of your average laptop or even netbook. This makes the device super easy to carry in a hand , or jacket pocket (hell I was able to get this to mostly fit in my jean pockets). And it is great for both 1 and 2 grip.
2) Web Browsing: Noting the size and portability above it easily makes for a great web browser. The screen on the A100 is large enough to view articles and hold the device comfortably with one or two hands. Its not a huge 10.1 in or 9.7in (iPad is 9.7in for comparison) so it does not require a two hand grip. Its great to be able to use the tab rather than having to bust out the full laptop or even settle for the EVO's "small" screen.
3) Portable Gaming: As you see I put "portable" gaming. It's a tablet not a Desktop or PS3 so its not going to play Skyrim or Modern Warfare, but it has a powerful dual core proccessor named Tegra 2 which is standard in most tablets now, and for good reason. This processor and its corresponding GPU make for a very powerful gaming experience in these small form factors. The smaller screen size , to me personally, makes for a much better gaming expierence compared to larger tablets because of an easier grip.
4): Movie Watching: This is debatable. Some people will disagree with good reason , but I think the tablet is great for movie watching. Its screen is a good size and at a nice HD 1280x600 resolution everything looks pretty crisp. Now some people will say that having a 10.1 in Tablet or 9.7 in is better for movie viewing , and thats preference.
Problems with the tablet: My biggest complaint now with the A100 is viewing angles. There is one angle (when holding in normal landscape 180 degrees) that when tilted washes almost all color. Its easily fixed by turning it 180 degrees Or you could just not tilt the tablet back.

LOL I too have Evo 3d, A100, and Prime =)
I used to do everything on my Evo 3d but after getting the a100 I did most my web browsing and gaming on it and I took it everywhere since it was so portable.
Then I got a Transformer Prime. When I'm at home I like to use the Prime until the battery runs out then I go for the a100. The big screen is nice. I use the prime to surf, read threads, email, gaming. Lately I havent been touching the a100 but I do when I want to play games on it that I can't on the prime. Mainly gameloft games. I think 7 inch is the best size for gaming. 10 inch for surfing or reading forums, but I do hate typing on it cause its so big and heavier so not as easy to type on as the a100. Prime is definitely faster out of the 3. But I think once a 7inch quadcore comes out I'll end up getting rid of the Prime and a100.
EDIT: Man too many thread open. I though I was responding to a Transformer Prime thread...lol. None the less..my response still applies. =)
Most of my usage is eBooks and Netflix, where I find it much better than a phone or laptop. There's also things like Facebook and email, but I probably do those as much or more on my phone or laptop. Web browsing is there too, but I still prefer the laptop for that, though it's still better than the phone for browsing.
Pr0n!!!!!
J/K
I use it for:
Portable media - great for video and audio. Took my fm transmitter, a100, and projector out with a few friends for a mock drive-in. Gonna do it again soon! Also I use it with NetFlix
Browsing - for web surfing, blog reading, forum reading.
Gaming - some Android games, but mostly through OnLive. Pretty awesome when using a PS3 controller and the projector. Everyone that comes in asks, " where the hell is your console? "
My son's entertainment - got a bunch of kiddy games. Unfortunately, when he gets too excited he tries the eat the a100.
Social Communication - I Skype with my family that aren't in the same city. When they want to see my son run around and play it nice not trying to follow him without looking stupid with a 17 laptop.... though it's a good workout. With Hey Tell I've been using this as a walkie-talkie with friends if I have quick messages to relay and I don't feel like texting or my phone is too far.
Creativity - Got Sketchbook and loving it! Evernote is gret for jotting down great ideas and sharing them if you want.
Financial records - it's nice to stay organized with mint.com any time, any where. Also, with Handy Scanner I've been scanning all my important docs. BTW, I have all my important life stuff and a100 backups auto synced through wifi, and saved onto my laptop and home server.
Security - I access my home security cameras through this tablet as a baby monitor and whenever I feel paranoid.
Each one of these I used to do all on my phone but with the larger screen/resolution and more power I find that using this tablet is much better to use. It's more portable than 10-inchers but just as good... at east for the same CPU family (Tegra 3's kill these). The price was great because of the drop that Kindle Fires initiated. So for my purpose and budget this is perfect. The a100 is my sidekick and personal assistant that I can't live without.
Oh, did I forget to mention pr0n! LOL

I am not always at my laptop. And the tablet fits in a pocket much easier. I use it for ebooks, netflix, web browsing, and email. And I can do it all from my bed, which my disability puts me is about 14 hours a day.

EBOOKS:
I use mine a LOT for eBooks (especially technical manuals from O'Reilly). I'm also slowly "acquiring" all of my old magazines as .pdf files so that I can re-read them whenever I want to Here are some of the apps that I use for reading. ezPDF is the best (stand alone) .pdf reader. Aldiko is the best epub reader, and there are tons of free books available through the Kindle app. Overdrive is the app that you have to use to borrow ebooks from most libraries. It's pretty awesome to always have hundreds of books and magazines with me while carrying something not much larger than a singe paperback.
ezPDF Reader:

Google Books

Overdrive Media Console:
market.android.com/details?id=com.overdrive.mobile.android.mediaconsole
Comics are also pretty awesome on the tablet. Android Comic Viewer allows you to read comics in both of the formats you can "find" on the internet: .cbr and .cbz. Marvel also has a decent enough app for their Digital comics.
ACV:

VIDEO:
Movies and (sort of) TV on my tablet are awesome. I like to fire up Hulu or Netflix while I'm in the kitchen or while I'm doing stuff around the house. With my tablet, I can move the "screen" around with me as I go. I also recently gave Amazon a bunch of my $$ for Prime, so I'll probably load the Amazon VOD app soon. I have a lot of my DVD's ripped as MP4's, so it's pretty easy to load movies on to the SD card and have them for offline viewing. The only down side there is that if I use a slow card, sometimes the video and audio will stop being in sync after about half way through a movie.
For Hulu, I use Flash Video Browser to watch (free) Hulu, instead of either paying for Hulu+ or modifying the Hulu apk to allow me to watch unrestricted. It's a paid app, but I got enough use out of it the first day to warrant the 99 cent purchase price.
Flash Video Browser
market.android.com/details?id=com.danielhlockard.flashbrowser
Using the HDMI out to a TV when I'm at a friend's house and don't want everyone to have to crowd around the tablet it pretty nice too.
AUDIO:
I haven't used it for audio books (yet), but it's pretty snazzy for streaming my library back to me from either Google Music or the Amazon Cloud Player.
GAMES:
I have a tone of them for free through the Amazon App Store. I also have a couple that are more optimized for the dual core CPU that I got through indie bundles, etc. I mostly stick to like 3-4 games at a time and slowly rotate through them. My buddy swears by the minecraft app . . allows him to play on his tablet while still "spending time" with his GF when she watches TV shows that don't appeal to him.
My web surfing on it tends to be spawned from using Facebook, twitter, Google+, etc. and finding cool links to check out. Although I may have taken my tablet with me when I was out for the day, and then tethered to my phone so that I could get on and check eBay bids from time to time ;-)
The Chrome to Phone app is pretty handy for web surfing as well. It allows you to send links from your browser to your android device(s) and be able to pickup reading on the phone/tablet.
No discussion would be complete without an obligatory mention of some of the other apps I keep installed:
Sketchbook
Evernote
Google Docs
Dropbox
Box.net
Youtube
MX Video Player
Twitter client of your choice
Tunein Radio
Wifi Radar
Wifi Analyzer
If you're going to use apps where you planning on doing a lot of typing (Evernote), you might want to invest in an alternate keyboard.
And, keeping in line with the rest of the humorous comments, I should probably also make the obligatory "adult material" comment. LOL
got it for a cool $200 at best buy, play loads of emulators on it (PSX, N64, SNES, NES). Skype is essential and Netflix of course. I actually think the battery lasts longer than I think it do considering I'm not a heavy user. I couldn't go wrong when I got it.
My number 1 use for this tablet is web surfing and RDP while I'm over at a friend's place. I don't want to bother bringing a whole laptop over for many reasons, but a tablet is great for just picking it up, poking around at a few things, and then setting it back down. Plus, this 7-incher fits perfectly in a jacket pocket or snugly in a pants pocket (not recommendable for walking long distances or carrying around all night, but to and from a friend's place isn't bad).
I also got it to play with Android a bit. I've got a Windows Phone, I've used iPod touches extensively, but I hadn't had a lot of hands-on experience with Android. I knew a lot about the OS, but just hadn't actually experienced it much myself on a day to day basis.
I don't think I would have bought a bigger tablet, as if I'm carrying around something that size I'd probably just want my laptop. I would consider getting a Transformer though.
My two cents....
I don't have a smart phone, so my tablet's primary purpose is to have my calendar right in front of me all the time. This is my second android tablet. Before that I used Dell Axims.
I also use it for email, facebook, games, music, and reading (prefer to use Kindle). My Acer sits on my office desk and plays music all day long. Plus I prefer to keep my personal stuff off my office pc, so this fills in nicely for keeping an eye on email and facebook.
I also use it as an electronic bible. The 7" size is just right. The bible app I've been using is MySword. You can find it on the market.

YES! The eumlator side of things is excellent, loving being able to play Harvest Moon on the SNES once more, oh, and lets not forget the excellent Chrono Trigger and the odd Gundam Game!
Love the sound quality for a small device, great for music in the kitchen, the missus likes to use it when I'm on the xbox every now and then and makes a great all rounder for me.
I probably use it for 90 per cent we b browsing, games and I quite like to write on the thing, through the use of the excellent JotterPad HD.
EDIT: This is my 300th post, was meaning to make a deal of being here and having so much fun with like minded people elsewhere, but I cashed in my 300th a little too soon. So, to anyone who reads this and cares, thanks for a great 300 posts, and for being such a great community!
Gaming on the go is something I have always thoroughly enjoyed and, in many ways, was one of the reasons that the Galaxy Note appealed to me so much. So far, I have been rather impressed by Android's offering of games. However, I simply love classic old games such as Sonic and Mario so have turned to emulating them. Unfortunately, consoles such as the SNES have simply too many buttons to use the on-screen controls for. Does anyone know of a gaming pad that is compatible with my Note running Android 4 and which slides under the phone similar to the keyboard in this thread here?
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722306
may not be exactly what you are looking for but I feel like it is the best option if you want to game. kind of expensive though.
You could buy that Slide keyboard.
And remove the keyboard, and borrow the tilt backplate. Place another (game)board inside.
It would be much trouble trying to find something that fits well.
Especially a model which has the 4-action buttons and 2-joysticks (D-pads aren't necessary if you have the extra joystick). And joystick (like PS Vita) always trumps Nubs (PSP).
Now you're only problem is having 4-shoulder buttons.
And this time its Samsung's fault. SONY is doing it right by placing the Volume buttons on the right side, they can be mapped for shoulder keys. If you had a Camera button, and an Extra button...they would've also been mapped for the R1/R2 shoulder buttons.
Anyways, OEMs tend to think in this order
Build-Price>Marketing>Competitors>Carriers>Usability>>>>Niche-User.
Take my concept (what started out as the OpenPandora), and evolved into an N900, then to a SuperPhone concept, dating back to 2009 (or drafts from 2007):

...now I think it can be evolved with the use of:
-Better specs like 1GB RAM and big.LITTLE computing (Tricore A15-A7)
-Higher Screen Resolution
-Get rid of 3D (such a gimmick)
-5V charged MHL (usb host + hdmi)
-Update Gamepad (I can update a picture for you if you like)
-Introduce a better concept of module from M$'s new patent:

Emulatoring like a Boss | "Now you're playing with real Pow... Buttons!" #Turnand
Super Mario Vs Ash - the struggle was real.
Let me take the elephant out of the Room. We (@Turnand) have designed a Smart, Smartphone Case that can turn your Phone, into a Game Boy. With that outta the way:
So, if you’re reading this post, you probably have used an emulator before. Amiright? Well, emulating any handheld console on a Computer, works like a charm; albeit with one exception. These systems are not that demanding-“advanced”, to begin with, but the feeling a large monitor speaks when we are talking 160x144 awesome pixelated Pokémon art, is just wrong. Your 20ish inch FHD monitor has no power here. Your phone on the other hand; well that’s a whole other story. A story, with much more ups and downs, and options to explore, dare I say. Let’s jump in:
As a child I’d swear by my Game Boy, but in my teens, it got lost. It got lost, by a kid 2 blocks away from my place. Luckily, at around that time I got my first smartphone. A Samsung Omnia!
An amazing phone at the time- it was 2008 or so. It could emulate Pokémon, Super Mario, and even Final Fantasy ([email protected]) IX! Yep, a PS1 game! Ok, its specs would be laughable by today’s standards, but still. It was an amazing Pokémon-machine! But, anything out of the turn-based RPG genre and maybe puzzle games, was totally unplayable. Why? Well blame that resistive, smallish touchscreen.
Now fast-forward almost a decade. It’s 2016, and my daily driver is a LG G Flex 2. A 4G, octa-core, 5.5 inch, fHD monstrosity. So, why am I still complaining? Well, cause my original problem still persists! Smartphones and tablets were made with throwing birds to pigs in mind. None will ever consider them a real alternative to a console, until they get proper controls.
Ten-year-old me, beat Super Mario World Advance 2, on the GBA with no problems at all. To this day though, I’ve never even reached world 3 using an emulator, on any phone I’ve ever owned. A PC got’s proper controls, but simply doesn’t feel right to me. On the other hand, yeah, I have paired a Bluetooth controller to my Android phone before, but I love to see you balancing your 5inch phone, or even tablet, on your laps while holding a gamepad, on your daily commute. Everything game-boy-ish is called a hand-held, instead of a lap-top, for a reason!
That’s the need Turnand’s cases try to solve. That’s how the original idea spurred into our minds. This was a real life pain for us, and we believe that we are not alone in this. Gamers, and retro enthusiasts unite! Let’s take things in our hands for once. Literally grab yours now. We can’t change the past, but we can game comfier in the future – lol. We’ll be on Kickstarter on 29 June, 2016!
So this is Turnand’s take on the matter: The smartphone case we’ve created can transform your smartphone into a Game Boy; and trust us, oh it feels good. But no, we are not suggesting that you compromise your smartphone’s usability. In the end of the day, that social-media- feeder / cat-photos- viewer you call my phone, still has to and should always be ready to receive calls and texts.
Side Note:
We are a Start-Up taking its first baby stepps. So our website is still under development, but you can take a look, and we'd love to have you join us on Social Media! So our Facebook is awaitng, so does our Twitter, and some we also got some jazz going on Instagram !
Let me guess something, before wrapping this up!
And, if my guess is correct, then you will read the next paragraph! ‘Ere it goes: You also used up all the batteries from the TV remote, and the wall clock to feed your Game Boy!
Amiright?!
With that out of the way, allow me to clarify that our case / controller thingy, won’t need no batteries, charging, not even Bluetooth, Wi-Fi; no nothing! It’s just works, take my word for it. Or don’t, you can ask for a Beta Prototype, here!
What are your top 5 games that you play on your Note 10+?
Plague Inc
Super Hexagon
Thumper
PinOut (best pinball game on android! imo)
RAID: Shadow Legends
I've been playing:
Call of Duty Mobile
AdventureQuest 3D
Bladebound
Arena of Valor
Rangers of Oblivion
and then of course the PPSSPP emulator with God of War, Metal Gear Solid, Kingdom Hearts, etc (def need an external controller though: https://amzn.to/2kkhmvH)
My all top favorite game is
Archero
Best grinding and challenging game
The elder scrolls legend
Drastic
Mario kart
epsxe
Final fantasy ix
Super Mecha Champions
Zgirls 2
Cyber Hunter
Perfect World
Astral Chronicles
I play my Xbox games on my Note 10+ via the Streaming service, no need for paying double or ad ridden games.
COD
PUBG
mobile games are just that. I'm not sure why publishers are pushing DQ, COD, DeadSpace, FF games on us. If I want those, I'd rather play on the consoles. And did someone say Raid? LOL, how much are they paid for shilling that crap?
When you have to attach an xbox controller, then what's the point? might as well play it on the xbox. Oh, so you're waiting in line at the DMV with an xbox controller attached to the phone? Y tho? are you honing your MLG skills for the next tourney?
my suggestions for the top 5:
1. Any of the Sonic games.
Great for the nostalgia nerds. Easy to understand: go from left to right, collect rings and avoid traps, pitfalls, spikes. Yes, this is basically a console port, which I just *****ed about but the simple graphics and easy controls and simple gameplay makes this an exception to the rule.
2. Skyforce Reloaded or Air Attack 2
Honestly, any smups (shoot'm ups) are great. Simple controls, easy pick up and put away when waiting in line
3. Golf Peaks or Ok Golf or Mini Golf 3D
everyone hates golf, but these games are pretty neat in their own right.
4. Alto's Odyssey or Alto's Adventure or Ski Safari 2 (Ski Safari 2 AT)
great games especially when paired with a headphone. The calming music and simple controls will put you in a relaxed mood, especially when the line doesn't move.
5. Paper Monster or Leo's Fortune or Oddmar
For those who like the platform style of gaming, these games are great. Even today, Leo's Fortune's graphics hold up well.
honorable mention:
Pocket Build or Pocket City or Minecraft or Stardew Valley
good graphics and enjoyable games for those who like to build and miss those SimCity type games. Stardew Valley is fun, it's one of those games where you will pick it up randomly and start playing just about anywhere. Minecraft, no introduction needed.
I tried the FPS games but they are laughable. Controls are convoluted and they don't even support game pads. Besides, even having the biggest phone screen in the industry, it pales to a console hooked up to an 85" screen. I'm not that desperate where I need my COD fix while on in public. I can wait until I get home, relax on the couch and play enjoy the KD on the consoles. you can't really hold your phone and quickly run, aim and toss a grenade at the same time. precision counts when you're going against someone. That's why they took a way the controller support, those with controllers always annihilate those fumbling with onscreen controls.
