It handles quite good and the phone didn't get that hot.
Hah.. It's not about me it's about you and showing you these games.

looks smooth - well impressed
now get a list of the best games and apps together
really really good
All I'm worried about is that the next gen games won't work well with the Galaxy Nexus. These games look great, but with Apple and other companies (e.g Samsung) pushing mobile gaming, and the new mobile GPU's that are coming out, ours is already obsoleted and probably won't be good enough to play a lot of games in the future

From what I've seen, gaming on the "higher end" phones simply just add useless eye candy and don't effect overall game play at all. I love eye candy, don't get me wrong, but I don't fear that we'll be left out in the cold.
With Quad-Core not even out yet, I don't think we'll be seeing anything that requires a "Quad-Core or higher" for a long time.
I also just noticed how the software buttons rotate depending on orientation. Life's simple joy!
Forgive me for not being so knowledgeable on technology, but I would be mistaken in thinking that even if Quad-Core is released, most phones won't even be able to utilise it properly for a good year or two? And by the time they are put to good use, all our Galaxy Nexus contracts will be up and we'll be eligible for an upgrade and we'll be hopping on the newest Nexus?
So quad-core doesn't even matter for a while even if they are being released next year?
Back on topic the phone looks insanely smooth, even when you had all them games open it was silky! I'm loving it a lot, getting it tomorrow
could you test the kairosoft games? like game dev story and the others?
on honeycomb if you used mulittouch zooming all their apps crashed. kinda worried it may be the same with the GNex.
The screen is good but until the games are updated 'proper' we will not know how good performance can really be.
The screen is really good.
I read on another thread that Gameloft games will not work on the Nexus, is that true?
Edit: Nevermind, I just saw the video and he plays 9mm

Exactly my thoughts. For example on mine Plants v. Zombies looks great and works great for a few minutes, then freezes when under heavy load (i.e. "Final Wave" pushes). It can't be the GPU or memory issues because other (just as graphically heavy- if not more so) games (like Tiki Golf 2) are perfect.
I just want to clarify how good that first game is?
Check out the Verge's Transformer Prime review http://www.theverge.com/2011/12/1/2601558/asus-eee-pad-transformer-prime-review
They play the game and attach it to a 52" HD screen!
I got an upgrade available to get a play for $50, and I'm wondering how great they are. I've been getting annoyed at the touch screen controls for gaming, and want a controller finally.
However, I'm worried as to how smooth, responsive, and great the graphics are with psx emulators or games like GTA3.
My Atrix is unlocked, rooted, and running CM7.
I saw quadrant scores at ~1700 with xperia play and got worried seeing as I score ~3500 no problem, and with Antutu the Atrix gets much much higher scores than the play especially in 3D and CPU.
Does anyone have experience with both phones and can give me some ideas as to how they perform against eachother?
with the exception of the screen, the play is going to be slightly slower/worse in most respects, mine generally doesnt lag, but it happens on occasion, the tegra2 gpu is not much better than whats in the play, so gaming wise its not far behind the atrix. the browser is ok, but im expecting a big boost to usability on that front when we get ics with hw acceleration. As a phone, the play is pretty good, not amazing, but it gets the job done.
It really comes down to the hw controller, yes, theres plenty of phones out that are better than the play, but if u want to play a game, i would take the play, every time. playing things like sonic cd, or super metroid, mario 64, crash bandicoot, etc etc etc(i have about 6k+ games on my phone, ranging from nes through to n64 and everything in between almost) the play dominates the competition, 99% of those games play and feel as good or better than they originally did to play....and that in itself is amazing, and its not just emulators the games on the market are very often xplay optimized as well, its kinda suprising given the plays relatively small market share just how many are actually optimized for this little unit.
i bought mine for $450 outright with the option of an sgs2 at about $550, maybe 6 months ago, and do not regret the purchase, ive used a few sgs2's and whilst nice, good luck playing a game an enjoying it, im not sure what im gonna do if they dont end up releasing a play 2....

Couldn't have said it better myself
Although I can say that GTA runs fine for me. I'm not sure how it runs on the Atrix, but on the Play it runs pretty much the same as the PS2 version
Upgraded from an unlocked 1.3 OCed Atrix I like my play much better. Most apps are written to work on 600—800 MHZ single cores so basically the second core doesn't do much. And most "tegra exclusive" games have ported to other phones and run 100% smooth (beat GOF2 two months ago)

How did GOF2 perform with the graphics and framerate? Did it look the same?
Also, how good is the responsiveness on websites, flash, streaming YouTube, Netflix, and texting in general?
Also, are you able to use the SD to install apps? That's one big thing I don't like is storage space.
My xperia play is extremely responsive in the internet browser and pretty much any other app that I use. I upgraded from an OG droid like a year ago and the xperia play felt incredibly fast. I just overclocked my xperia play to 1.6ghz now and it's even more fast. PSX emulation's performance is to the point where it feels as if it were made for the xperia play; the games just work flawlessly with the game pad. I have grand theft auto 3 also and it plays really smooth.

Very nice hearing that.
I still need to figure out if there's a way to use my 16gb as card for app storage because I have roughly 10gbs of apps/games on my phone.
I'd use up that 400mb in a second.
Also, can I adjust the PPI or resolution to match that of the Atrix since the screens are the same size?
Is there any video out for gaming on a TV?
Overall, I'm probably going to get it and sell my Atrix, I'm just trying to plan for it since my biggest problem is that memory issue. Going from 16gb internal to 400mb is a rough one for me.

I have like 76 apps and the majority give you the option to put most of the app data on your sd card. i have 182mb internal free space with all these apps, but I did remove all of the stock verizon apps too
I used titanium backup to force move a majority of my apps to the sdcard. Have over 300 apps and still have around 180mb of free space. Have my phone overclocked to 1.2 and it just flies. I am running the Verizon stock Tom minus all the crapware they put on. Great phone, love it. Games like shadowgun, modern combat 3 are all smooth and awesome to play.

the xperia play is a great phone
but i see it as if you have to consider the benefits of a xperia play over another phone then the xperia probably isnt for you. most people will instantly see that the hardware controls are its selling point and buy it for that. to use for emulators mostly.
Just tried out a xperia play today, I'm going to buy one. They got a sale right now that its free with a 2 year contract. It was smooth online and the launcher was awesome. I tried asphalt 6 on it and compared it to my phone in HD, and I couldn't notice the HD difference, but it ran perfect.
Ill be buying it next week and selling my Atrix for $200 so basically I get 2.5 months free

You can use a stock Motorola 16 gb SD on this phone, it comes with an 8. I just swapped them between my Droid and this when I got it. However you're better off buying a Sandisk 32 GB class 4 card if you want the best performance.
There is no video out.
You also cannot adjust the screen resolution unless you root the device.
I find it amazing that a phone with a gamepad doesn't have a video out..

Galaxy on Fire plays pretty well... I'm midway through it, and I've had my share of action with lots of ships and all around shooting and what not, and the Play delivers flawlessly.
Just got my play, the thinner screen is taking some time to get used to.
Right now im bored because im not unlocked yet. Still gotta pay that guy $25 to get it done.

What would be the best show off game to get for the One X?
Anyone of the new THD games .. the new Shadowgun looks pretty epic with bombs and lights effects. But, the best for showing off, I'll have to say Riptide GP, because the effects are pretty stand out, they'll make people say "Wow, I never seen anything like this", while on Shadowgun they're pretty embedded in the game you won't notice unless you played the game on non-Tegra 3 devices .. and also let's not forget Glowball.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! I have already tried Riptide GP on my HTC Sensation and was blown away by the gfx and speed of that game even on that phone. Cant wait to see it on the One X. It was quite fun too!
I already have three more games on my download list as soon as I have a (Tegra3) compatible phone.

Wow, that was interesting. I don't really do games any more, but very cool to see. I'd say Smartphones are now where PC gaming was about 10 years ago, but given the low power consumption etc etc, that's pretty damned amazing really. That and they're actually higher resolution.
Plus, given the rate of innovation in the mobile industry, it'll be biting on the heels of current gen equipment in very little time.
Wow, anyone knows a game that has same gameplay as Chidori? (last game on vid)

just snapped it from the play store for 99c. will be shooting me some zombies later tonight after work/gym. quite a small download too @ 100MB considering the graphics!
The graphics are pretty damn amazing. Great gameplay as well
Yep, graphics are pretty amazing. Looks heaps better than on non-tegra 3 devices and iOS.
Gameplay seems fun as well. Controls are a little dodgy sometimes, but I guess you just need to get used to it.
Will test it further later on, at work right now, but I think its worth noticing that the heat generation with this game doesnt seem that bad like with other games.
Its awesome ..! I just drained my battery out completely ..
How is the game play?
Is it laggy at all? Unresponsive or anything else etc?

Yeah, there is the option of in-app purchases, but you can buy weapons which you unlock while u progress with earned ingame money. In-App purchases are not needed, it just makes it easier for you to advance.
This is a great game and a must buy for all HOX owners. For 75p/99c it's a no brainer. On this new baseband/firmware it run's silky smooth and the phone doesn't heat up a silly amount either. Great purchase.

Well, it does heat up, but not as excessive as with alot other games. I reached 41 degrees tops, whereas other games may reach 45-46 even, like Dark Meadow.
It still is very playable, means: No throttling due to much heat, no unpleasant feel to the touch while gaming
With such a low specs device, I'm wondering which recent games one can play with it. My buzz is to be used by a 7 years old boy, no I'm looking for some suitable hints without violence.

So in the meantime I tried to install some games, but it really does not look good. Most recent games install just fine, but either are unplayably slow or don't start (black screen then exits after some time without error message, force close with error message, or error message about missing FPU), not even low-end arcade type games.
So far only a 1 1/2 years old version of Angry Birds and GBAoid seem to work just fine.
If anybody knows of any other games that can be played on a Buzz, please tell. Doesn't look like my 7y old son will be happy with that device.

Unfortunatly Buzz isnt good with gaming. Are you on a custom rom and what kernel ? (as you can make gameplay more smooth and less lag)
Your better off getting a cheap tablet for your kid to play games off.

So far I managed to install Shoot Bubble v3.0 and Dragon Fly v4.15 in addition to Angry Birds v.2.0.2 and GBAoid v.2.4.7, a lot of other (simple) games just won't run. I seriously will have to think about another phone for my boy (a tablet is out of question).

Thanks. Searching for "Classic" in Play was a good hint, I found a few of those classic ones, but only installed a few. He's not supposed to play all the time anyway
Just too bad that none of the recent games can be used, still not sure if he's gonna get the Buzz, or if we'll use it for telephony only otherwise, and I'll give him a LG Optimus 4X HD. That's tough, on one hand I don't want to refuse him to be able to play really cool games, on the other hand I'm not sure if he's up to the task yet (more concerned that he bricks or looses it).
