just wanna share a super awesome live wallpaper that i currently use on my Nexus 7. this stuff is GLORIOUS.
(tried the red "Inferno" galaxy, but its not as cool as Shadow IMHO... there are 4 in totals, and they're all free)

[Q] looking for impressive game

trivial question...
i am looking for a game that looks impressive on my old kaiser.
fps or racing or something with good graphics that will impress in the bar.
paid for is no problem, just want to see what is possible.
Raging Thunder 2, or ScummVM + Monkey Island 3..
I think this will look impressive and answers your question

thanks but....
my daughters just laughed when i mentioned monkey island as we played the original 20 years ago you just cant put a good game down eh?
Raging Thunder 2 looks good so will give that a try also.
(Outrun was not available last I checked)
You could also try Pool Break Pro, nice and beautiful game!
Monkey Island 3 is not 20 years old ! Graphisms are very beautiful, but I did not try it under Android..
But you have to compress it, if you want to gain some place, and speed it up!
Also, Frozen Bubble is a nice game, but not really impressive, just beautiful..
There's Tux something (was Tux Racer on Linux, but I dont remember its name under Android), which would be impressive too!
Good luck!

No need to be quick - it's part of a promo Google is doing! For ten days there will be 10 different apps for 10 cents! Def check back daily!

Aww dam!!! I got my nexus sunday... and since i went half stuff its wrapped up and ill miss this deal anyway to get them for that price come 25th?
Do you have any other Android devices attached to your Market account? You can always use a desktop browser an purchase the app and then install it on your phone when you get it.
Once you purchase an app you can download it again for free whenever you want to. It would show up in "My Apps" section of Market.
Nah iv been on a iphone boy ill try and download them from the market see what happens though thanks!
I bought a few of these earlier.
Everyone raves about Minecraft, but I really don't get it?!
Not sure about anyone else (assuming it's the same), but in my market app, at the top is a link to the 10c apps. I think it will be faster to just click on that than check a post here everyday.
(I don't mean anything negative towards OP...it would probably just be easier/less time for people to not have to come and post the new apps everyday).

Yeah me too! thought it would be worth a look for 10p lol..
But also have to agree with post above.
are they definitely meant to change I swear I've been looking at the same apps for longer than a day?

haha unlucky mate! I too bought it recently! Rumour has it that ADW Launcher EX will appear (from what I am reading on other forum ports, lets see!)
update: no longer a rumour regarding adw
Some reviews say to forget about AirSync if you have a Samsung. Has anyone tested this app on Nexus? Does it work? My wife had an iPhone so we have nice iTunes library, but I'm away from home so I can't test it.
Reckless Racing PLAY does not work with Galaxy Nexus, but I think that it will be updated pretty soon. So it is still worth buying for 10p

Does the regular version work? Wondering which one to get, although for 10c I could just get both
The Christmas Live Wallpaper is really nice. 10 cents is a steal.
I'm guessing they said forgot about it with a Samsung because of Kies which already supports wireless syncing however the Nexus does not have Kies. Kies is on Samsung devices with TouchWiz but the Nexus is aosp.

Favourite game and app on the Galaxy S2?

Okay, so I just spent half an hour looking through the Android Market at the top games and apps, and haven't really seen anything that catches my eye!
Now, maybe it's just me, and I'm being a little too fussy, but I really don't seem to be able to find a good, highly addictive long term game.
Current Games - Mark /10:
Doodle Jump - 6
Blood and Glory - 7
Cut the rope - 4
Enchanted Realm - 6
Fieldrunners - 8
Flight Control - 4
Fruit Ninja - 5
Great Little War Game - 6
Gun Bros - 5
Tap Tap 4 - 5
Zynga poker - 2
Unblock Me - 9
As for interesting apps... I can't find anything :/
Any help and advice would be nice?
Thanks in advance!
I have been searching for that game you are looking for for over a year now and haven''t found anything myself yet.
Gun Bros was fun in the beginning, but Glu Mobile only wants to milk your wallet a bit more (that goes for all of their games, mind you!). All fine with me, but the game strats to drag after a few months of play and becomes tedious. It levels too slowly, or, to put it differently, the weapons are too expensive (and the expensive one do not even live up to expectation). I abandoned it after like three months or so.
I like the ""Choice of ..." series very much -- I'm currently playing Broadsides and Romance. I'm not originally into RPGs, but this is kinda fun. It more or less makes the story more interesting if you have influence on the outcomes, even if it sometimes is clear the difference is minor because the story picks up again the same way it did the last few times. Nice time-waster, though.
Random Mahjong for the sleepless hours (I use it with Screen Filter to dampen the screen brightness a bit, primarily to soothe my eyes since I have it plugged it when I''m in bed anyway).
Flight Control: meh. Fun in the first few levels, but tedious after a while.
Plants vs. Zombies: very funny, like the humor. Have played it on the PC -- great fun -- an enjoy it on the Android platform. Wish I could play it on a bigger screen, though: it wouldn't be the first time I scr**ed up on plant placement.
Virtual City: instant buy. Like it very much, but haven't been playing lately due to real life taking over for a bit. Have the Sandbox Edition installed as well, but haven't played it yet for the same reasons.
Age of Wind: likeable, and fun, but the steering mode annoyed me and I was put to the bottom of the sea very fast. I find the economics unclear and " steep".
Apparatus: reputed to be great fun. Installed, but not played yet.
Dead Space: looked like a winner (oh, the visuals! : D ), but the controls annoyed me supremely. Happily uninstalled.
Guerilla Bob: fun, but not for a the long-term you are apparently looking for. I liked it though, but again, way too short.
Robo Defense: immensely fun, and you can keep experimenting on different lay-outs and tower compositions. Achievements provide that little extra oomph of stimulus to go on and on and on. Had to wrestle myself away from this one for sheer terror of social dysfunction.
Stupid Zombies: fun, and a ''thinker'', but very hard on higher levels, which might be a put-off if you're a casual gamer.
Reckless Getaway: fun, but it turns out I'm a crappy virtual driver (luckily not so in real life -- that doesn't really fit with a motorcycle, now, doesn't it ; )
Cut the Rope: quite possibly a killer game for most of us. Thinking fast is key here, I like it very much. (I have to admit though that my 3.5 year-old son is about as good as I am. But he is astonishingly good for a 3 yo, ROFLOL!)
Great Little War Game: hard one, this one. Liked it, but was not 'steadfast' and sometimes was unclear what consequences movement would have. There is only an inconsequential und relatively uninformative tutorial, so you're left to fend for your own.
Not played (extensively): UNO, Siegecraft, Virtual City Sandbox Edition.
Hope that helps a bit.

I really couldn't have asked for a better answer!
It seems as if you've taken the time and effort to help me out and share your ideas and opinions, so thanks a lot! I shall hit the like button when I'm next at my laptop!
I think I'll give all the games you've mentioned a go, and hopefully this threads still going in a week or so and I can give some feedback on those games!
Thanks again for taking the time and effort to help!

My favorite game is earth and legend and zenonia.

i'm currently addicted to Where's My Water ... it's really fun to play
If your looking for a long term game to play like op on laptop or pc like fifa or warcraft or aion or need for speed there ar none to few...the gameplay on android device is limited by your own taist ,like marty allready told @ some game's controls ar badass.
Deadspace and Nova2 hd ar the taste for eyes but a hate for controls
Eart and Ledgend and Samurai2 and Third blade free ar for rpg less graphical lust for eyes but controls ar way better
Sleepy Jack and Cordy and sonic4 and windup kight and snowpro ar good/oke but also simple gameplay
And for app's depend on what your using your phone for howe old you ar and where you live
I am a plumber/central heating and work on new and renovation buildingsite's so for my work i use extreme alarm clock to set alarm ,tiny flashlight for in the dark and calculator for..and business calander and fm radio
For fun i use plume for twitter ,friendcaster pro for facebook ,skype and chaton to talk and text with home or friends and some dutch app's.
For practical use a have 1tap cleaner ,documents to go ,advanced task killer ,Dr.web(for security) ,igo8 to not get lost here in europe ,my data manager for 3g ,total recall for sgs2 to record my call's ,tunein radio when i am home over wifi ,weather and toggle widget ,weather pro ,shopsavvy as barcode scanner while shopping ,dish pointer for when i am on grand prix sidecarcross camping and having truble with my satelite reciver to watch tv.
Greats mike
I will end this noooow! Cartoon wars! Its suuuuuuuuuper addictive!! . Please try it.

A few I like
Windup knight
World of Goo
Backstab
Nova 2
Dungeon hunter 2
Hero of Sparta
They are all battery killer though (especially the gameloft games), so take that into consideration when you still have half a day to go before recharge.

Which is a better choice. The amazing Spiderman or The dark Knight rises?

As the title states. Just getting people opinion. Thinking of buying one of these two and thought I would ask the community. Or if there is a newer game that you think is better mention that too. I already own asphalt 7. So to ly knowledge that just leaves these two superhero games. Also.... anyone know of a game thatbplays like the elder scrolls games? Like skyrim for example. Its open world RPG bit played through the eyes of your character rather then behind them. Anyways thanks for the feedback people.

i personally like amazing spiderman. Its more bright and its more fun.

[Q] Push it to the limit?

I get to play with all kinds of fun devices at my shop activating GS3's HTC Rezound's Moto Razr's Galaxy Nexus and many others to pre-paid services like CricKet and PagePlus and GoSmart every day. So imagine my surprise when my boss GAVE me a brand-new boxed 32gb VZW GNex and said "Do what you need to do, here's the activation details. Keep it. I have 4 more for you to work on when your done."
Now I've been all over the spectrum when it comes to Androids. LG Ally, Motorola Milestone, DroidX, Nexus S 4G, Droid 2, HTC Evo and more recently the Evo Shift just to name a few. But I have NEVER owned so much power in a device, even compared to the other phones I get to play with on a daily basis, than this Galaxy Nexus!
It is running BEAUTIFULLY on Slimbean 4.2.2 for Toro+. I can't get people to stop playing with it especially my girlfriend >_<.
So here's my dilemma. With so much power...what do I do with it? Looking at some of the other devices you can tell that I may have felt quite left out of the circle when it comes to running high-performance gaming and apps without using something like Chainfire3d, and then having to compensate with slow performance and cut down graphics.
My current library of games installed on my device ATM are Dead Space, Beat Hazard Ultra and Peggle. I have a few emulators as well, and with the huge screen and multitouch I don't appear to have much trouble playing whatever I want. Problem is, what else is there that could fancy my interest? I've looked through the Play Store and found some stuff to look into but it seems like I'm really wasting the use of all this high-end tech. Could anyone issue some insight on what I can do to REALLY show off what this phone can do? Like I want to push this thing as far as it can go! I'm a nerd to the max so don't be afraid of offering any other kinds of customizations or tweaks I can play with too. I've got a clean record so far with not breaking anything fancy :highfive:
Mass effect infiltrator, GTA, GTA vice city, real racing are some really good ones

+1 on Vice City
I use it to wow the ladies. XD
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
haha havent played a GTA game in so long will most likely have to snag that one.
i like racing games and Real Racing looks pretty nice
Never played a Mass Effect game, even though i have ME2 on my pc just never fired it up after 1.5 months of owning it lol. will look as well
i also checked out Shadowgun and Gun Bros. 2 but didnt really seem too impressed with Gun Bros visuals. Shadowgun is ok. reminds me of Gears of War which i love
other mentions in case anyone is interested:
Modern Combat games - meh i have CoD on my laptop
CoD Black Ops Zombies - ^
Nova series - much more fun than Modern Combat
Galaxy on Fire 2 - GORGEOUS! looks the best over any other phone ive owned and sooooooo fluid and smooth
Trials series - nothing fancy visually but nice mix of entertainment and frustration
Into the Dead - again, simple visually but pretty fun for a good 10 minutes at a time
Offroad Legends - very similar to Trials...BUT WITH TRUCKS!
Iron Man 3 - looks good, but is it any fun? (the game...the movie was meh)
Asphalt series - look really good but cars handle like ass sometimes
Need for Speed series - much more could have been put into them as a phone version. really should have been more direct ports.
thats all ive had to look at since my initial post, but guys keep this going we should be able to find the real gems somewhere!
