Starcraft like Strategy game

Hi,
I am looking for a game to play on Nexus 7.
A starcraft like strategy game with offline mode (no server connection), and also possibility of multiplayer over LAN or internet would be great.
Any ideas of such Android game ?
Thanks.

That is absolutely false. It is on Android. I had it a long time ago.

Can't find it from the Play Store, and the official website doesn't say it support Android.

As far I know Gameloft has in their site

thanks.
this was really what I'm looking for.
Starfront is just like Starcraft and it works great on N7.
Now I wonder if I could make it run on Acer Iconia A100 because I have that tablet as well and it would be nice to play multğplayer on LAN.

Strike fleet omega is kinda like star craft. Check it out

Windows 8

I have a gnex and I like it, a lot. These windows phones coming out look pretty cool and their just now catching up with some hardware specs us android users are used to. What do you guys think of these windows phones? Im curious to know the app development for the OS. Thats the only thing keeping me away. Your thoughts?

So you like locked down garbage that will never actually be updated?
Good for you.

Have a look at windowsphone.interopabilitybridges.com
Many articles point out as more users move to the Windows Phone platform, app devs will move over as well.

Definitely shows promise, but I'm locked into Android for the time being.
Just pulled out my HD2, which has WP7.5 on it (giving to my bro for a loaner), and it is a slick interface. Zune may have flopped, but it is just nice to use.
But, I'm Google-locked for now.

Not even remotely interesting. User interface is atrocious.

Beautiful phones softwate and hardware wise. Run extremely smooth especially the lumia 920. I like android for the freedom but if i had to choose a business phone it would be a windows phone 8 device. Apps are still far behind as their new. If you dont play games tho then they have apps for everything productivity wise.

Lumia 920 looks pretty nice. I have an upcoming hardware upgrade and since I'm buying the Nexus 4 outright, I'll upgrade to the Lumia to give it a try. I hope that Microsoft won't pull another Windows Phone 7 not upgradable to Win8 thing.

I have always thought the same way. It looks very nice as a business phone especially that Windows OS is mostly used in offices at organizations so it should pair and integrate better with Windows Phone I guess, however, they seem either more expensive or same price to high-cost Android phones, so this makes it harder to pick a WIndows Phone if I can get a similar specifications running Android which will also fit well as a business phone

Maybe Windows will go back to the top once again? :sarcasm:

Windows no doubt will continue to rule in in the workspace with windows 8 on tablets. So most people will need one. When it come s to the mobile phone market apple and Google should dominate for awhile.

I don't know how you didn't understand my post I clearly said windows 8 pro on my Pc, but I agree win 8 on a smartphone or tablet would be complete garbage compared to android, its a no brainer win8 mobile clearly sucks but so did android before ICS an jellybean came along, I absolutely despised gingerbread an anything before it compared with iOS back then.

Fyi All windows 8 operating systems can be considered mobile now. Just depends on what hardware its on. Tablets with keyboard attachments are going to be huge in 2013.

No they aren't. Just because companies will make them doesn't mean they will be huge. Adding a keyboard attachment defeats the entire point of a tablet and I think the market will respond accordingly.

I think Windows 8 phones might start to catch on in enterprises but for the mainstream users they will probably stick with Apple or Android. How well the phones integrate to the Office suite of products will drive the success or failure of the Windows 8 OS in my opinion.

Donated $6, got all the current games so far.

Yes but these are debuting on Android. So your other bundles wont have the Andorid copies.

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.

I noticed there was options for tablet and mobile. Does that mean only machinarium is the only game I can play on my nexus?

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

Several game updates available using the Humble Bundle app.

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

That's the thing with the Note (I or II) - they are UNIQUE and every other ecosystem will be jealous until they get their own "Big Daddy" of phones

Buy the HTC HD2 and get a dual Windows/Android boot.
Also the the Exynos chip details being released, the chances of a sd card dual boot could be a reality. The type that might allow WP/Android dual boots.

get an hd2. we even got f'king meego working on it lol.

yeah HD2...my last phone before the Note 2...

No way. All windows phones use snapdragon processors. Someone would have to do some serious hacking to get it working with exynos

Has everyone seen the Samsung ATVIA? Which is similar to the Galaxy S 3.

the Nokia Lumia 920 is a gorgeous phone. If I were a big fan of Windows like the OP I would be all over that. I'd love to see Windows perform well in the smartphone market. More competition the better.

While we cannot get Windows Phone 8 on this device, we can make your phone look like Windows Phone 8. Check out Launcher 7 or Windows Phone 8 launcher. I think there is one for Windows 8 also.

I used my Note 1 with Launcher 7 almost exclusively. But it's oudated now - no small tiles, which would be great on the big screen. I'm waiting.
The Windows 8 mentioned above, if it's the same one I've tried, it's an ad fest (you get notification for ads even with adfree installed, terrible, disgusting app.

I don't remember that. I do remember them saying it was coming out and would look great on the new N7, but not that it would be free.

it was during the presentation at Google headquarters.
I m sure it s on YouTube.
if I remember there would be 2 games for free. It was on live.
riptide and another one, grand theft auto maybe.
probably they changed their mind.

uhhhh no... the closest they said was riptide and Prince of Persia utilized the new opengl updates. which they said was only avail for the new nexus 7... until the rest got the 4.3 update.

OK. so I didn't understand well.
strange no free bee. we got free stuff on the original n7

Maybe that was because the original N7 was their first tablet, and they wanted to do anything, even a small thing, to promote uptake. Once they saw what a hit it was they realized they didn't need to bother with free things to promote purchases.

I happened to get mine at GameStop which came with free game offers if you download their god awful app but as far as I know nothing from Google directly.

Not really much in the way of free content this time around. I remember the original one came with some limited subscriptions, a movie, and (luckily for me) the $25 Play Store credit. That said, don't mind the loss here at all, and no, it wasn't in the launch event.

The US Nexus 7 2013 version launched with two freebies: an episode from a BBC UK documentary show about our solar system and also Disney's short film called "La Luna".
Neither Nexus 7's launched with any free games that I am aware of.
