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

I guess your into swords and killing stuff.
To each his own

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.

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.

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

Its possible he might not the data for the download if its large or any other weird reason. Think before you talk please.

It's also possible it's a paid app that he doesn't want to pay for only to find out that it doesn't even work.

I've bought it however I'm low on data and would like to know how it runs before throwing my data away, its 1.3gb.

Okay I've looked into it, I might actually purchase this because it looks awesome. Love RPGs but I saw reviews from the play store to internet saying it runs great with no issues. I did see someone mentioned Two versions of the game - HD/SD. I'm assuming you bought the SD version.
But yes the nexus seems to play it fine, I'm sure it might run a bit slower compared to a tablet lol but I will also say it will depend on your ROM/Kernel choice too. I'm sure there won't be issues but you never know .
Anyway hoped that helped, I really probably buy this but by the time I'm ready to purchase my info probably won't be helpful lol.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Thank you. There is only one version of the game, just when you download it on a device with Tegra 3 (Nexus 7 ) it will give you the option for HD data that's about 3.2gb. I'm downloading it now, I've only played about an hour on my N7 but it is an awesome game, very funny. I really recommend you buy it. I'm using stock JB with root and trinity, i hope it runs well.

I did, its a fantastic game so far! I'm playing with everything maximum/ water "on"/shadows all etc. Running fine with no lag.
I am however disappointed in the audio, its pretty low quality from headphones not sure about speaker. But damn its a wonderful game, this might be the only game I continue to play on my android. Besides Mcpixel another game I suggest you buy if love humor. I never usually play on my android but this game has got me skin deep lol.
Thanks for letting me know about this game.

Great to hear, glad it works well. Still downloading on my crappy conection but looking forward to it, I get very bored on the ferry. Like I said, I haven't played much but for the price you can't go wrong, they say it has 20+ hours of gameplay. Have fun

The best game you will ever play

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

Link if you don't know Spanish: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pastagames.ro1mobile&hl=en

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.

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.

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.
