I know there's already a thread on Games but its specific to Honeycomb for now so I think I would ask on a separate thread so it's easier to weed out answers specific to ICS compatible games.
EDIT: Updated to ICS also to run my own tests. Thanks also to those who have contributed.
EDIT2: If you want to edit build prop to emulate a500 to see your games again, you can follow crossix root mod and edit the build.prop under /data/local/rootme/loop
Thanks to crossix for his root and help with build prop location to edit.
Make sure to make a back up of original or rename it.
Heres what I edited: According to crossix you probably just need to update the 2 ro.build lines but I havent done it that way yet.
ro.product.model=A500
ro.product.brand=acer
ro.product.name=a500_ww_gen1
ro.product.device=picasso
ro.product.board=picasso
ro.build.description=a500_ww_gen1-user 4.0.3 IML74K 1328620975 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=acer/a500_ww_gen1/picasso:4.0.3/IML74K/1328620975:user/release-keys
Please be careful to edit the exact lines or you may brick your device. If you do brick I assume a hard reset or flash update.zip again will bring the original back.

You're right I was thinking he mightve used your build prop and it stayed the same after he updatedto ICS. But ofcourse it would've overwritten it. And ya ICS build prop is not the same as HC. Which I should already know. Doh! What a newb!
Can't wait for your build prop for ICS. That and root.

Got order & chaos working, any gl games that are borked because of device detection should work just by changing the deviceid to a500, I dont have a build.prop from an a500 so I can't fix market yet to find more apps.
Games that have had problems:
N.O.V.A. 2 HD - controls don't work at all (seems a touchscreen issue)
Dungeon Hunter 2 HD - controls flicker in and out, again seems touchscreen issue
ShadowGun - controls are way off, pretty much unplayable
Games that work fine:
Sonic 4 Episode 1
Sonic CD
Sentinel 3
Jelly Defender
Cordy
Monopoly
Anomaly Warzone Earth HD
That's all I've tried so far. The games that have problems start and run fine, just the controls are off. None have FC on me yet.
Has anyone else noticed a problem with Fullfat games like Flick Golf and NFL Kicker. They work fine for a few minutes, then all touch input quits. I guess there are several games that have touchscreen issues with ICS, so add this to the list.
Thanks for the input guys. Ill update the OP later with market links when i get home. Along with individual thanks.
Deadspace working as it should (i can actually find it on marketplace OMG!!!!!!)
Dgunners Ice burst i had to manually install wouldn't show up on compatiblity but it works flawlessly
Shadowgun the controls to go hell in a handbasket man i'm really missing root for sixaxis x.x
Osmos HD working normally
Meteor blitz working normally aswell
need that sdswap so i can install ALL of my games that i have on my cappy that are compatible on my acer cause.... for some reason i'm missing 3 gigs from my internal.... hope a atempt to put linux on the side an have it vnc server connecte didn't eat something on the partition...
Updated OP with market links and +1 thx to those who contributed!
I decided to upgrade to ICS finally but I think I'll have to go back till we get a build.prop a500 mod for ICS. I cant play any of my gameloft games.
Here's my input:
Aftermath XHD
Bang Bang Racing
Castle of Shadows
Dead on Arrival
Drag Racing
Galaxy on Fire 2
Gun Bros
Intertia
Samurai Vengeance 2
Sleepy Jack
Shadown gun
Crazy Snowboard

Which asphalt 6 are you running. I have the market one for when I did a500 build.prop and it doesnt work. Says not compatible request a refund.
After updating the build prop I was again able to see the games I had with crossix build prop for HC. Thanks to crossix root method and pointing me where the editable build.prop was located.
GL games I can see
Asphalt 6
Back stab
9 mm
MC3
Order n chaos
Tin tin
Nova 2
Shadowgun is playable if you have sixaxis working with a gamepad just thought i let everyone know.
Anyone try the build.prop change yet? With MC3 its much smoother when you pan but occasionally the screen freezes and I have to press power to and wake it up and resume the game.
Grand Theft Auto 3

Is this the one from the Market? I updated my build.prop to a500 and it wont download data when I open this game. I know it worked on HC though wit the same a500 mod but for HC.
I had Tetris installed before the upgrade and it launches but doesn't take touchscreen input...

Good list, I also recommend Quake 3 (Kwaak) and NOVA.
Please add Dungeon Hunter under RPG, it rocks
WTF?!!! No Real Football 2010 HD!!! That's an awesome game by Gameloft!
In casual gaming, Falling Ball and Tap Falling Ball is good.
In Strategy Robo Defense is cool.
You froget Cestos from multiplayer! Best ever.

I was under the impression that it wasn't running too well on the i9000?
Thanks for the suggestions, keep em coming.
You're missing the Gameloft games, but they are unfortunately only available through Gameloft's site instead of the Android Market.
There's no denying they have the highest production values and are the best visually however. For reference, Asphalt 5 on Samsung's app store for the Galaxy S is by Gameloft.
I'd suggest:
- NOVA (action, first-person shooter) which looks incredible and runs flawlessly on the Galaxy S
- Let's Golf 2 (sports) which looks equally stunning and runs perfectly.
I've had problems with the follow Gameloft ones however:
- Tom Clancy HAWX (action, shoot-em-up) installs, opens and the intro logos appear but crashes when it gets to the menu
- Dungeon Hunter (action, rpg) installs but does not run
Somebody help me!
My Samsung Galaxy S already up firmware Froyo 2.2 JP3 and rooted, but all the gameloft like asphalt5 HD, Tom Clancy HAWX, Dungeon Hunter,... all way appreared logo gameloft and error as:"an sd card with at least 45m free is required in order to download the new content" i don't know how? can you guys explain to me
thank you very much

Generally that means you need some free space on your memory card, as it says.
I think Gameloft games install their data on the internal memory, so check you have enough. Otherwise it may be due to whichever lagfix or firmware you're using (ext3, etc) locking write capabilities to your card.
Yeah you need available space for those GameLoft games.
Have you tried quake 3? (kwaak3) Amazing speed, its just desktop-experience (except for the controls) But the latest version acually works. Can yuo do this with Desire?
Hero of sparta is great game too and also quake 3 by kwaak3.
How about a MMORPG category
try Pocket Empires

However on this occasion I think it's more to do with the fact that jp2 and jp3 firmwares have inherent issues with writing to the sd card.
At the moment this is only a temporary fix and nothing permanent...I cant run Asphalt5 for this very reason.

It is Asphalt5. Now for your daily dose of irony. It doesn't run on the A7!
I sent them an e-mail about it and got nothing.
It appears than none of the Gameloft games run on the A7.

Runs just fine on my A7.
Air Attack HD
Personally I enjoy the emulators along with the xbox mod
Tegra2 demo of NFS Shift (i tested it and it runs ok)
only one level playable , from here you need to buy the full game (for AT&T network users only i think)
Gameloft games
Just a quick fyi. Some gameloft games work on the elocity. I've tested:
works:
Asphalt 5 (works perfectly)
Assassins Creed (sucks without multitouch)
Sandstorm (ok without multitouch)
Dungeon hunter (works great, lighting seems messed up)
Dungeon hunter 2 (works great, some textures whited out, only on menus though)
Hawx (works perfectly)
doesnt work:
Modern Combat 2 (downloads files but doesn't work)
Avatar (not at all)
Brothers in arms 2 (not at all)
Nova (downloads files but doesn't work)
GT Racing (downloads files but doesn't work)
Skype
Can I ask if anyone has successfully got Skype going on their A7. I've been trying but just can't get it going.

- if you got stock, its not working
- if you got the Mod edition, it should work fine, as the build prop fix is included.
Thanks for the reply. Okay now for the big question, where do I get the MOD EDITION?
Many thanks for your patience
i did mean ElocityMod here, not a Skype modified edition..
if you look in dev. section you can find the mod rom's there..

Hello!
I have installed Chainfire 3D and THD Games like
Fruit Ninja HD
Samurai 2
Backbreaker HD (with pixelfailures but still working)
are running!
Riptide
Is Riptide working with the Patch of Chainfire?
Some People say that the game is running..
When i start the App i see a black screen and then the app is closed!
Asphalt6(Gameloft):
Is there any chance to get the game running on my SGS2?
When i go on gameloft.com (with SGS2) and click on "BUY" Asphalt6, then i get a message from T-Mobile: This service is currently not available!
This message i got 3-4 days ago!
Is it possible to play the game on SGS2 or not? -.-
Thank you and cu!
I've got Asphalt 6 HD and it's running fine on my Galaxy SII. I bought it of my either O2 or Virgin Sim I don't rememnber which though. I got it for a pound aswell which is a bargin.
Asphalt6 works on my gs2 untouched o2 phone.
It doesnt seem to be super responsive though. I found asphalt 5 on my gs worked better than this. Could just be how the game runs on anything.
I have the same problem with riptide, just closes.
Since chainfire app update and installing the shaders Riptide is working perfectly and the graphics are amazing.
The first game, which is very beautiful.
Asphalt6 HD is working, but the graphics aren't very nice ..
yup latest update fixed riptide closing problem for me.... Give it a shot!
Are you trying Reptide demo or full version? Because demo didnt work for me, full version did. This has been confirmed by the creator Chainfire 3D.. Dont know if the demo works now.
Anyway, the full version works! And its worth it... More then just good graphics!
Yes very nice graphics, but a car racing game, like Asphalt6HD with the quality of RiptideGP would be very nice for me.
Because Riptide is only racing aroung maps, nothing else..
In Asphalt6 you are able to tune your car, change cars ect.
Asphalt6 graphics are not much better than "nonHD" games..
The RipTide demo works fine _if_ you install the shaders. Find the shaders for the full version of the game, and rename the 3 files inside the .ZIP replacing "blue" with "bluedemo". Install the resulting file into Chainfire3D and the demo then works.
yep asphalt 6 works fine, try to get the apk from their website
dont know about the other game
finally a solution! lol
hi,
I'm able to start riptide, but the game itself is nearly black with some pixels. I installed chainfire and the shaders. I also tried the tegrad-libs (which a working cause I can play pinball which doesn't work without tegra-libs).
any solution? :-(
Asphalt 6 SD CARD FILES?
Can any one please give me the SD CARD DATA FILES FOR ASPHALT 6 HD FOR SGS2.. AS i am not having a WIFI and no direct internet connection. I am using it in a college with proxy ..

You can download Asphalt 6 for free through the Samsung appstore.

Asphalt 6 free on the samsung apps for galaxy s2
This isnt a duplicate of the other gaming thread, we only recommend games here (by experience), try to recommend your top games so the quality stays at the top
Doesnt matter if you recommend the game twice, just proves that the game is worth playing!
Beats(free) - (emulator though) - like stepmania but on the phone, you can import stepmania songs to it.
[Link to market] [Screenshot]
Tetris(~3$) - downloaded it but havent played it once on android yet, but i guess it's the same as iOS. It's pretty nice and ull get used to playing it with a touchscreen.
[Link to market] [Screenshot]
There is a more expensive version, but I think it's the same game :O [Link to the market]
Meganoid(free) - Pretty fun at first but ull get tired of it.
[Link to market] [Screenshot]
I think it contains ads in it, but you can use adfree to get rid of it.
(I would recommend the snes,nes etc... emulators but the multitouch isnt good enough for playing these console emulator games.)
KEEP IT CLEAN, dont ask stuff here!
Dont link warez!
Currently playing zombieville and fishingjoy, it's a time killer

clash of clans works side loaded but you cant sync a current game since you cant connect to google. If you install play store and service's it can be synced with Google and you can load a previous game.
You should try mushroom wars:} I don't have my hdx yet, but I would love to know if it works!
I should note that while shadowrun returns does work, some text is a little wonky and the game is upside down, but you can fix this by just locking position on the auto rotation. ultimately runs like a dream after that.
to add to this list GTA Vice City runs as well.
Gta sa and asphalt 8, run too
