They look interesting...
Is there a game similar to an old game on palm called dope wars?

Nice piece, although I would consider the Madfinger games in the list, specifically Dead Trigger. Aside from having outstanding graphics and being free, if you have an OTG adapter and plug in a PS3 gamepad, it feels like a transformed game.
In my opinion, this game is the closest to offering a console-style experience so far with a gamepad, as the controls are incredibly tight. Try it with a controller if you are able!

Madfinger game are awesome and will make my follow up. Here's why I didn't add dead trigger. It is fun but pretty mindless game play and we despise games leveraged by in app purchases. The game has no story and the games here I selected for overall depth not necessarily game play alone. I'll add it as a players choice though in my follow up and thanks very much for the feedback

havent tried these yet...
Those games do look awesome but I think dead trigger needs to be up there. Its the game I showcase my n7 with. Also, nothing beats a Bluetooth ps3 controller and a PlayStation emulator or any other emulator. I've been playing ff7 and ff tactics since I got my tablet.

I concur dead trigger is a great game but I compare it to rinse repeat of angry birds. Same stages reprised with no substance and in app purchases. Two no no's when I decided what my 5 favorite were.

I'm also in to people's opinion your comment adds zero other than giving me perspective on your name choice lol. How bout sharing an actual alternative or coming up with a better list. That's actually the point.

Dead trigger gets old real fast, most of the weapons are a waste of time and so are the items and as you say, it's the same stages over and over.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Sadly, I don't like ANY of your choices of games.
You should re-title this to top 5 action/arcade games or something.
I prefer strategy/war games and my current fav is:
Great Big War Game, esp with the multiplayer capability.

You asked for an opinion and I gave one. It wasn't rude yet you replied with a implied insult.
Here is another opinion since you want something different.
James Holmes & Jared Loughner likely played games like that. Look where it got them and all of us.
You should read what action/arcade games are as a genre, the majority of his games are adventure/RPG..
Anyway good thread dude.

The android market desperately needs an adventure / RPG genre. So I think he's right in that for market categories it'd fall under action.
I like glwg too although the latest update made it unplayable on the n7. I might try gbwg. For arcade, I do like spirit xhd.
Plus, in all honesty, I think there needs to be a rating system other than opinions.
Order and chaos, while a fun game, is very slow at the point I'm at and is a little choppy for 1.5ghz and 484 GPU on a 15+ Mbit connection.
It should probably be rated based on gameplay, replay ability, game performance / app design, graphics, etc.

Hey guys I just want to share a game that ITS completely worth the money, its by far the best game I ever played on my Android device ( and Ive played a lots of them ).
Im not promoting it or anything like that becouse I didnt create it, I just want to let you know that its a great and adictive game, it runs perfectly on the nexus and the graphics are beautiful indeed.
Its called Rayman Jungle Run

NBA 2K13. but its a bit laggy for gnex :/
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
That game didn't work on my Gnex
I would download the required files through the app and nothing
Just got rayman jungle run, noticed its number 1 on new paid game list, so its quite popular at the moment, like it so far but like most mobile games it only offers minimal levels an short gameplay but good otherwise, android games certainly won't replace your psvita or 3ds handheld just yet.
hey Sonic is that you ? :laugh:

Im just sharing my opinion about what I think its the best game I ever play since its really simple but absolutely challenging at the same time besides the beautiful graphics as well. Dont take it to serious folks
Its an awesome game and uns perfectly on my galaxy nexus, no lags at all,'
running on stock
Great Little War Game and Great Big War Game. You can easily spend hours playing. A bit of a battery hog though.

I have to admit I am addicted to Rayman Jungle Run. It is way to much fun and adds a lot of replay value trying to get every sprite-esque thing and its way to easy to control. In addition, Jetpack Joy Ride, Bad Piggies, and Granny Smith are all equally addicting.
Jet pack Joyride by: half brick. It's free, fast and fun.

I play uplink on my Acer Iconia A500 but can't install it on my Galaxy Nexus and would like too. It's for Tablet only and I'm using Paranoid Android and would like a hint to bypass the tablet only feature and install it on my Gnex at least to try it even if it might be too small.
Thanks everyone.
On my GNeX my favorite games are F18 Carrier Landing & Air Navy Fighters, "StockMarket" (Not a game but since it's not real money I consider it a game, Asphalt7.
Get yourself a deal and help charity!
https://www.humblebundle.com/
There is currently 6 games in the deal, however usually a week into the bundle they add an additional 4 games, free of charge if you've already bought the bundle They'll also give you steam keys.
Some of the games is making their Android debut; Superbrothers: Machinarium, Sword & Sworcery EP, Waking Mars, Splice, Crayon Physics Duluxe and possibly some others soon.
As an additional bonus, they're using the Nexus 4 as their "showroom device" xD
If helps the Child's Play charity and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, so you'll be doing a good deed too,.
5 Games have been added to the bundle, if you already purchased it you will get them for free. If you haven't bought it yet, make sure you beat the average to get all 11 games!
Thanks for the share.
Donated $6, got all the current games so far.
i would get those, but i got most of them already from previous Humble Bundles...
Yes but these are debuting on Android. So your other bundles wont have the Andorid copies.
Awesome just bought em. 6$ seemed fair for my current "budget"

Six bucks well spent. I swear, missing these humble bundles seems totally illogical.

No doubt. These games are so not surrounded by profit. Never knew games such as these existed. They barely use any battery and run great. Quite addicting to. Only tried the crayon game and eufloria. Will try the others later.

No don't be misguided, the "tablet" apps just sport higher textures and scaled up buttons. These games are brilliant and the steam keys alone are worth more than the average.

All the games should work on both phones and tablets.
Only issue I found so far is crayon physics won't save your progress I'd you close the app.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I've bought just about every humble bundle so far, and I've just bought another one. I bought this one pretty much just for machinarium on my N7. I've played it lots on my laptop, but I'm pretty pumped about it on the tablet.
I keep buying the bundles regardless of the duplication, it's nice to support the indie developers that are developing for linux. I think I may have bought Crayon Physics about 4 times now
There goes another 10$ and I didn't get a chance to play all the games from the previous bundles yet.

THIS is pissing me off. Humble Bungle. This is the primary game I'd play, the rest I'd tinker with a bit.
I've sent an email to [email protected]
Got a response back from the Humble Bundle folks, they're fixing Crayon Physics.
Hello there,
Thank you for purchasing the Humble Bundle. We’ve been able to reproduce this issue on Crayon Physics Deluxe and fix it, and we’ll released this fix in the next update. This update will release sometime in the next 24 hours. Thanks for your patience and for reporting this issue!

Anyone else having issues with waking mars? It crashes on EVO LTE.
Swords&Sworcery is the dopest game by the way. Graphics are nintendo, but music is DJ Spooky.
I hope they add bit. Trip beat

Sadly Sword & Sorcery hasn't been fixed, still on reverse landscape on the Nexus 7 )-:

Unfortunately, I'm a bit confused with the existing games for android..
We have HD Open World Games, like GTA 3 and Vice City,..
Good shooter, like Critical Strike, Gamelofts upcoming Blitz Brigade, Shadowgun, Modern Combat,..
Farmville stuff,.. Point & Click Games,.. HD Car Racing Games,..
HD (Console) Games like Dead Space,..
Hell, we even have Minecraft...
But, why are there no Old school Jump & Run games..?
Like Rayman (No Runner Games..) Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank..
I even haven't heard of any news that they're coming..
The point of this thread, is to collect (and discuss) information about developers that are working or planning to work on J&R Games...
If there's a thread like this, please show me the way, since I haven't found a thread, especially for a good gaming device like the Nexus 7..
We have like everything that is possible, even HE Open World games so I'm wondering what's up with some nice Jump & Run games..

Sonic 4? There is even a THD version.
+ Cordy and Killer Bean Unleashed just popped into my mind. Personally I don't like any of them too much, without controller it's just annoying for me to fail because of the touch controls.
AW: Am I Right..? [Games]
I know these games, and some of them are quite good, but they're side scrolled games.. I thought more of J&R games with an 3D environment.. I feel like no one is interested in these kind of games ^^'

I think more than Jak & Daxter for the ps2, or Ratchet and Clank, an "open world" game, which is based on jump & run, I can't give another example since there's nothing for android :/
Just imagine GTA, with cartoony graphics and more jumping and climbing than shooting

Think we can spoof to say a Galaxy S4 so we can install so many games that otherwise will not install ?.
Mass Effect , Ashphalt 7 , Need For Speed , Dead Space the list could go on and on.
Ill bet most of these games would work fine on our device and i tried Market Helper but that didnt work so im looking for an alternative.

The new Prince of Persia is optimized for 1080p, graphics are amazing (dynamic lighting/shadows) and so is gameplay. It's like the original game from 1990 but with loads of eye candy
