Your favorite games?

Just attempting to see what's out there. I'm loving Angry Birds Space, Sonic CD, Dead Space, etc. Problem is, the marketplace is really difficult to find anything else worthwhile outside of looking at the "Top Paid" or "Top Free" menus. That's great and all, but it's basically impossible to see what else is available.
So, what are you favorite games? I'm hoping to fall in love with something I've never heard of.
Also, is there a site similar to "Touch Arcade" dedicated to Android gaming? I'm assuming Android gaming isn't as popular, but you never know. This is basically my dedicated handheld system now so yeah... Trying to get the most out of it. Really happy so far though. 4.6" makes gaming with onscreen controls so much better...

Some of he best games out right now Imo and off the top of my head....
World of Goo,
Apparatus,
Draw Something,
Galaxy Hero RPG,
Zenonia 3 and 4,
Inotia 3,

Spectral Soul is dope too. 15 bucks but totally worth it in my opinion. Graphics are insane and its probably going to take 100+ hours to complete.

Is Dead Space worth it? I loved the console version, but paying 6 bucks for a game on my phone seems a bit too much.

YOU GUYS MISSED ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER！ GUERILLA BOB！

Not a big gamer as I used to be. Man, I remember the days of me being glued to the DS' screens.

Minecraft Pocket Edition should be mentioned. Still in alpha with not that many features, but at least a real game (unlike the Zynga stuff IMHO).

Dude. Dead Space is sick! Make sure you play with headphones on. Completely worth the 6 bucks. Highly, highly recommend. ****, I went out on a limb and paid 15 for Spectral Souls. 15 bucks! WHAT? Then I started playing it and I said "ok I get it now". That game is dope as hell if you like rpg, tactical type games. But yeah Dead Space? Winner in my book.

i like all the angry birds..
Yeh I love all of them, probably cos they are free. Fragger is also pretty good

Thanks guys! I downloaded a ton of stuff. Nice to know Android had more gaming options than I knew. I was worried when I opened the marketplace and didn't find much outside of a couple lists.

[Q] The best high-end game?

Hello,
Everybody knows the game infinity blade by iOS right?
The game is desiged by EPIC GAMES, the makers of Gears of War 1/2/3.
So you can expect a great game again on the apple product.
With that kind of games you can expect a real high-end-performance phone/tablet.
So i have here a HTC ONE X, i love this phone. But i want to test it for real.
So my question is, what are games like infinity blade on Android, with that kind of graphics and cpu usage.
Thanks in advance

shadowgun thd
mini motor racing
gta 3
siege thd
some good ones

dark meadow is the best graphically atm, and its free! (well, freemium)

means tegra optimised, meaning they are optimised to work on our wonderful tegra 3 chipsets meaning we get better features, and higher visual fidelity

thanks for the information .
I will take a look for the games.
Uhm if there are more games, just say.
and uhm infinity blade, there are possible way they convert the game to android ???

oh and not to forget, look up 'onlive' its a service that lets you stream full PC games to our handset over the internetz, have to pay for em still, but games like l.a noire work fine with the touchscreen
and aha, if only it were so simple to just 'convert' infinity blades not all that good gameplay wise anyway, just looks pretty, but dark meadow uses the same unreal 3 engine, and epic say its better on tegra 3 than any other platform, check it out

Thank you for your information. Only I cant find dark meadow on store and elsewere

About a month or so just before I got my Nexus.....I was watching a bunch of youtube vids of unboxing and reviews on the N7. I cam across one that was from a game developer I believe. There were demoing a cool Tegra 3 game that looked like a awesome version of mario cart. I do not see it on the play store yet at all.
Does anyone know or recall seeing this game ad or demo? I do not recall the name of the game.

Nope...thats not the one I saw. The one I saw as a demo on the N7 review in youtube was very close to a mario cart layout. You would think it was the new version as it played just like mario cart did......same kind of tracks and had the little boost things on the track and I think it had the heat seeking missiles like mario cart. The graphics were really nice and the game played well from the demo.

Beach Buggy Blitz isn't even really a racing game since you can't place against the other drivers. Its more of a Temple Run style game where you try to get as far as you can. Got boring for me after 5 runs. It does look pretty though.
I like Asphalt 7, especially now that it works while away from wifi after the last update.

Need for Speed Shift is grandpa old. Asphalt 7:Heat & Need for Speed:Hot Pursuit are "Hands down" the best racing games currently out there. Read the reviews.

I like Real Racing 2 since it's less "arcade" like.

It's because of the screen resolution. Are you on a ROM other than stock, if you are just turn on "full screen" to hide your navigation/status bar you can then download the data. If not you could always install it on a different device and transfer the data file to your N7 then launch the game with wifi turned off the first time.

I don't know about the "best" game, but Riptide GP2 is fast and pretty.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I have a lot of games. It really just depends on what kind of games you like though, to say what would be best for you.
For racing games, Riptide GP2 is great ($2.99), Beach Buggy Blitz & Shine Runner (same dev as Riptide and free), Real Racing 3, Crazy Taxi, and Reckless Racing are all great games which play and look excellent in the N7 FHD. Hopefully Asphalt 7 and Need for Speed : Most Wanted will both become available on the N7 FHD before too much longer. The device just came out, and it takes the game devs a little while before adding a device to their compatibility list. Neither of those games were showing as compatible with my Asus Infinity for a while, even though the previous versions of both were. The Infinity was added to their compatibility list before too long, and both games are awesome on it!
For FPS/Call of Duty style games, Modern Combat 4 is absolutely incredible, Call of Duty : Black Ops Zombies, ShadowGun, and Dead Trigger are all awesome and a lot of fun!!!
Subway Surfers is also lots of fun! I actually prefer to play Subway Surfers on my N7 FHD instead of my Note 2, Evo LTE, or Asus Infinity! Just seems more fun on the 7" display than on any of other sizes! The N7 is truly an incredible device, and support for it will continue to grow larger over time! I'm looking forward to what the future holds for the N7 FHD!!

I show off Samurai 2, cordy (1 and 2) Rayman, Crazy taxi, Zen Pinball, Or shadow gun. All look stunning.

beach buggy looks great but it lags when the resolution is maxed. Their is also slight stutters in riptide gp2 but rare. Anyone experienced this?

I see stuttering with Beach Buggy Blitz no matter the settings, see it in the original Riptide too. Oddly enough, never noticed it on the original Nexus 7.
It is a little disappointing. Thankfully, I am not a big gamer.

Nothing to be disappointed about. It is a me device and those games are not yet tweaked for it. That is partially why there is a new riptide.
I'm sure most of these games will play well on this device once adapted.

[Q] GPU-heavy Android games to test Adreno 305

Dear fellow S4 Mini guys,
I have bought this wonderful device a week ago, and since then it gave me nothing but usability comfort and modern smartphone awesomeness (I think its part High-end and part Middle-end (namely PPI and GPU are of the middle-end. You are welcome to discuss this though).
Being a mobile gaming junkie, the first I did is fire up a latest PPSSPP and playing some PSP titles, and I am still amazed at how the ARM cores have matured over time, Qualcomm Krait 300 (and 400 that started to appear just right now) and ARM Cortex A15 currently being state-of-the-art.
However, my grudge is against the GPU, which is less important to platform emulation than it is to native Android games. While it is enough for any game I actually play on S4 Mini, it is showing its middle-end teeth on the games like Iron Man or even Vice City. And I started to wonder what this Adreno 305 GPU is actually about. I've been for quite some time apart from recent 3D Android titles, and have seldom spare time for checking anything that is downloadable to figure out for myself.
So I wanted to know what games are the most GPU-intensive and demanding so I could test them and get a grip on the general GPU performance of S4 Mini. Not that it would change anything, but once the curiosity starts to spread... From Youtube videos I know that N.O.V.A. 3 runs quite good.
Thank you in advance, and you are most welcome to discuss the general performance of our device and your notes on performance of specific games.

Thanks, I'll check out some of these games tonight.
However, from my experience with 2011 Xperia Play I can state the following:
Dead Space, Shadowgun, Mass Effect and Need for Speed Most Wanted will run flawlessly on anything even remotely more powerful than Adreno 205, which is considerably behind Adreno 305.
Btw, I forgot to add that Carmageddon, GPU-accelerated mode of FPSE and N64oid run flawlessly as well. But I believe they are not GPU-demanding enough to push the limits of S4 Mini.

Take a look at a game called "The Room". Quite fun as a puzzle game and looks quite nice.
Seem to hit some snags here and there. You determine if it's poor optimisation or if it's just GPU-intensive.
Another game that looks quite good from the screenshots (don't really play fast-paced games on my phone) is a game called Galaxy on Fire 2 HD (it's free).

Galaxy on Fire 2 HD isn't supported on the I9195 though

That is in "your case" through the playstore yes. If you get the APK from other sources, you can install it. Basically most games that say "Not Compatable" are compatable anyways.. it's just the playstore that thinks your device is not supported.
Beware that if you have editted your build.prop and your DPI, playstore can also have compatability issues because its 240dpi for this device.
Also I'm not listing games if they do not work, obviously!
NOVA3 just works fine.
