Well atleast I assume we all enjoy some level of gaming. I've been a huge fan of the developers GameLoft . Most of their Android games aren't on the market for some reason but I've purchased and played their games ( NOVA , Assassins Creed, and GT Racing ) and they are amazing. When ever I try to go searching for more quality games like the ones they make all I get tossed at me are things like Angry Birds and Air Traffic Control. They are fun little games and they are fine but I am searching for more higher quality 3D games.
So know of any?
http://gameloft.com = their site, check it out. Wait for a sale to go on before buying. I got all my games for $5 about a month ago.
NOVA : A SWEET 3D FPS. Straight up, it's like Halo on your Droid which is just pretty freaken awesome especially when you factor in that it has Multiplayer Deathmatch levels. If you kill all the background apps and services before playing your experience should be super smooth and fun.
Assassins Creed : An interesting remake of the game from the console versions. The graphics are of course pretty snazzy and the game play it's self is comfortable. Worth checking out if you like more "Adventure-ish" style games.
GT Racing : Oh... My gawd... Hands down my favorite racing game. Not for the phone but outright FAVORITE racing game. Detail is rediculous, graphics are insane, and the number of cars and races are just like ... daaamn... You gotta check it out.
Huh I thought there would be more interest in this area but I suppose I stand alone lol
Well I am not actually much for games. my game is flashing a new rom every once in a while ... well I did get Majesty from appstore for free the other day. I played only the tut and one adventure but it seems like a pretty good game. it is similar to AOE which I grew up playing alllll the time.
Thanks,
SoBBie
I downloaded that too! Pretty fun. Also not a huge mobile gamer but I might check out some of the games in the OP.

Hi i will have my SGS2 soon and i have brought the mrs a Galaxy ace as its her first smart phone and very cheap indeed.
I was woundering if there any 2 player games that we both can play against eachother from eachothers phones,
I no apples phones have games like this but i really havnt a clue with android as im slightly rusty with it tbh and never really had any freinds with an android device.
I've come across a few and they tend to be turn based games rather than real-time. There's a whole bunch of Scrabble derivatives (Words with friends, wordfeud, wordsmith), a few for chess (chess-presso is the only one I've tried but I know there are others) and one that I particularly like is Pool Break which lets you play pool, snooker, and a couple of other games.
For real-time gaming the only one I know of is Homerun Battle 3D which is quite good fun. I'm sure there are others but that should get you started.

Isn't mini squadron multiplayer? That's a fun little game.
so there is a few then, id concider playing any game against the mrs!
if you like starcraft, try starfront from gameloft, very nice detailed game, and very nice to play against friends (and your mrs if she likes that kind of games.)
Edit: they have multiplayer on most games, so check out their website. I believe they also have some nice racing games etc.

What do you recommend to try out for someone who never played many PSX games growing up (I played Spyro a lot though).
Ones you legally own, like Crash Bandicoot 1, 2 and 3. And Castlevania Symphony of the Night
Bump. Can someone please help?
Final Fantasy 7, 8, Legend of Dragoon, Megaman Legends, Top Shop, and Lunar
I would also add: Gran Turismo 2, Final Fantasy 9, Soul Blade, Tomba, Klonoa, Chrono Cross, Metal Gear Solid, Wipeout 3, Vagrant Story, Tomb Raider 2, Colony Wars series, Abe's Odysee etc.
Digimon world 3 - Adventure RPG
Hercs Adventures - Same thing, more combat oriented, based on ancient greece, really fun.
Tomba - 1st one is a 2d scroller, really fun adventure though, lots to do.
Bloody Roar - Fighting
Tekken 2/3 - Fighting (3 has compatibility issues)
Final Fantasy VII - Shouldnt have to explain
Spyro 2/3 - herp
Also if some games arent exactly compatible try using PsXperia. Excellent tool.
Medievil
Medievil 2
on my PLAY (R800x) I couldn't get passed level 4 in Medievil after BUYING the game on the market, so downloading the ISO of the PSX game and loading into FPSE works. The sound pops a little bit (maybe an overclock would fix that) but other than that worked pretty well.
Mayby "Jack and Dexter - 1 and 2" and "Gex - also 1 and 2"
Gex games were released on PSone (and therefore can be emulated), but Jak and Daxter games were PS2 exclusives.
So far Gran Turismo 2, Chrono Cross, and Spyro 3 are very playable. Dead or Alive is kinda laggy for me. I am running stock everything.
Sent from my R800at using XDA App
Klonoa
Megaman X4, 5, and 6
Resident Evil 2 and 3
Parasite Eve
Tony Hawk 1 and 2
Megaman Legends 1 and 2
Vagrant Story
Tales of Destiny 2
Suikoden 1 and 2
Tiny Tank
Crash Team Racing
Xenogears
and of course Oddworld Abe's Odyssey and Abe's Exodus
Those will keep you busy for months, if not the entire year or longer.

Tomba! 2/Tombi! 2 (USA/EU )
It seems this sort of discussion comes up every week. Would be worth having a big old list of popular games, and cult games people still think are excellent.
As for what to play, play whatever you enjoyed from childhood. The nostalgia's the main thing. For me, the games I go back to are:
crash bandicoot 3, crash bash, tony hawks 3, dave mirra freestyle BMX, incredible crisis, harry potter and the philosopher's stone, spiderman 2: enter electro, intelligent qube, heart of darkness, and toy story 2.
For me here is my list:
Grandia (awesome game)
Lunar
FF7
FF9
Colony Wars
Tales of Destiny
loads more that I cannot remember off-hand.
Tomb raider 12345, silent hill, alone in the dark the new nightmare, croc 12,danger girl parasite eve 2 gran tourismo, quake 2, medal of honour, tenchu 12, rogue spear I could go on...

Pokemon Emerald and Golden Sun are good ones.
I recommend these GBA games: Yoshi's Island, Duke Nukem, Zelda - Minish Cap, both Metroids, three Castlevania games, Advance Wars 2, Boktai (you have to patch them though), Donkey Kong Country, Final Fantasy I-VI, Gradius Galaxies, Lost Vikings, Mario Kart, Megaman Zero, Ninja Five-O, Polarium, Sonic Advance series, WarioWare, Drill Dozer, and few Classic NES series.
That's all I remember now.

Fire Emblem, Mario and Luigi - Superstar Saga. Great games
For quite a while any device with a tegra 3 processor wasn't able to play any gameloft games without a cracked version of it, and chances are that there were bugs or the multiplayer didn't save stats and so forth. But last night i notcied that some games were appearing and then this morning even more appeared and the one that caught my attention was Order and Chaos online. Is anyone else getting these or is my market stuffing up? I managed to download dungeon hunter 3 successfully however, so it looks like we might finally be getting these games, can't wait for modern combat 3 being ive already bought it for my sg1 -_-
Hi everybody!
I'm gonna to buy a new telephone and i am thinking to buy the Xperia Play but...
This smartphone was launched three years ago and his technical specifics are not """good""" at our times...i have got a HTC One S at this time,but i always wanted have an Xperia Play.
So finally...the question is...buy an Xperia Play can still have sense in 2014?
The telephone is still good for actual video games and PSone emulation?Or maybe is the case to spend my money in other powerful devices that they haven't a built-in pad?
well if i was you i wouldnt buy this phone
it can run psone games and some other games well but there are too many unsupported games that you can even think about that big number
i cant play most of the games that i want on this phone. lack of newer android versions is still here (but we are going to recive functional 4.4.4 build soon)
It's brilliant for emulation on gingerbread.
Anything up to PS1 and 'some' N64.
If that is your focus, then it is a perfect.
Everything else on the Xplay is adequate.
But it has obviously been bettered in every single department (apart from the physical controls) by other phones now.
It's heavy and bulky too.
Do not buy this phone it is terrible. Very slow and flex cable breaks easily. It is a lot less powerful than your htc one s.

well flex cable doesn't broke that easily
i have the phone from the first days of release till now and after too many drops my flex cable is only damaged a little (when i open the gamepad you will see black screen for a very short time)
but i agree about the speed. its awful. but kitkat is running well for atleast till i receive my m8(i declined the order and im going to buy it from a shop soon)
If you have a one s there is no point at all of buying an xperia play.

I just bought one for pocket gaming and emulation and think it's the perfect device for just that. As far as phone functionality goes, I would not use it. Don't get me wrong, the devs probably have awesome options for a daily driver, but modern hardware just beats it fair and square as far as I can tell.
My advice, do what I did and find a cheap one on eBay and use it as a WiFi only gaming device on the go and buy a newer phone for everyday use. Maybe just stick with the phone you have and get a Bluetooth controller, but in my opinion, avoid this for a daily driver unless you are absolutely are certain you want it.

other than speed 4g vs 4glte and camera options and heavy gaming, why can't this phone be a daily driver if you're doing normal stuff?
I check facebook, gmail app works great, internet is fine, calls are great, and gaming (there's over 450+ optimized games plus all the emulation from Mame, snes, etc. i'm using the ginkitkat rom it it's been updated this year and a new update is coming.
if you're doing normal stuff, I think this phone still rocks.
Absolutelly agree. Most of people are doing the same thing for last five years - browsing internet, checking mails and "facebooking" + calll and SMS - and they still need better and better phones. Galaxy S3 is old, I need S5, because it has so many features I will never use. Of course that make sense.
Flex - I have second Xplay now. On first I broke my touchscreen, so I sold it and bought new before an year. The old one I had one and a half year and never had any problem with flex and my phone fell on the floor many times.
Games - Until 2013 I could play almost everything (even Asphlat 8). Only few games were for 4.0+ or they were slow on Play. In 2014 this phone is really out - after three years it was awaited. Most of newer games are for 4.0+ and are too much HW hungry and if they are for 2.3+ then without Xplay controller support (I remember only Trials Frontier in last half year where controller works). But most of big games with Xplay support and smooth gameplay are from 2011 and 2012 - GTA 3, Vice City, Max Payne, Asphalt 6, 7, Modern Combat 3, 4, Gangastar Rio, NOVA 2, 3 and all other big game from Gameloft, Shadowgun, Battlefield, FIFA 12 (I think this is the best game for Xplay), Dead Trigger 1 and 2 (it was recompilled for 2.3 by fans), Reckless Racing 1, 2, Mini Motor Racing, Virtua Tennis, NFS Most Wanted, Race of Champions etc. And few bigger games from 2013 like Carmageddon, Gangstar Vegas or Re-volt have Xplay support too. I hate playing games like racing, FPS on touchscreen and for this is no better alternative.
Emulation - I spent days only by playing Advance Wars from Gameboy Advance and Colin McRae Rally 2 from PS1. Official PS1 emulator from Sony can handle only small amount of games, but FPSe and ePSXe - this combination run everything. And there are many other emluators - I tried only Gameboid for Gameboy Advance and some N64 emulators (not much succeded), but if you want you can play 10 years only games from old systems. I played only Advance Wars, Tony Hawks serie, ColinMc Rae, Granturismo, NHL 2001 and FIFA 2000 (nostalgy, FIFA 12 is much better) - and even these are fun for hundred hours.
Speed - It is slow? Absolute nonsense. I tried Galaxy S3, Xperia T, we have Nexus 7 at home and I can say Xplay has as fluid system reaction as any of them. Of course, it has only 512MB RAM so if you want to play games you cannot have Facebook or Facebook Messenger installed cause they are absolutely crazy optimized. I'm using Gin2Kittkat last year with Lupus GB v12 (480p) and Smartwatch MN2. I customized this ROM, make some changes in lupus menu and it is so smooth.
I love my Play. I got it for Christmas in 2012. It would be nice to have more RAM, internal storage and 4G, but they aren't deal breakers in my opinion. Mupen64 plays some N64 games well with the touch pads, and N64oid is compatible with more games using the D-Pad. I am seriously considering buying another one when mine dies.
I would personally say no and get a more recent phone, the Xperia Play hardware does well with most emulators but I have noticed it struggles with newer Android games, even with a custom ROM. Not to mention the poor battery life as well, makes it hard to use as a phone.
Buying a phone with a bluetooth gamepad will be my advice. I have the HTC One M7 and use a Moga Pro gamepad with it, and while I find gaming on it great, I do have to admit I miss using the Xperia Play's built in gamepad. If you do plan to go this route, I suggest getting a phone with dual front facing stereo speakers, it makes the gaming experience much better.
if you're a gamer, the xperia play is still the best phone for the gaming experience. yes there are newer games out there, and my wife owns the new htc one, but the gaming experience doesn't come no where near the xplay. you just have to find games you haven't played (there's over 450+ optimized games). you could buy the gamepad but it defeats the purpose imo.
asphalt 8 on my z tablet doesn't beat 6 on the xperia play. neither does fifa 14 on any phone beat fifa 12 on the xperia play in terms of the experience. if bigger screens, better pictures for facebook, faster speeds and 4glte is your thing, yes the newer phones are the way to go. in terms of pure gaming, xperia play still rules. star battalion, bruce lee, and now king of fighters 98 , pew pew, mini moto, gun commando, plus a ton of emulations are just games on the xperia play that no stock phone can take. there isn't a new game out there that has made me switch yet.
