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

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

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.

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

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:

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.

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.
ok so ive seen a few online realtime multiplayer games online, is there any one that you guys are playing? whats the best one? and by best i mean one that doesnt make you put some work in then say you cant progress unles you buy stuff with real cash lol
is galaxy on fire a realtime multiplayer? im looking for a game i can play online with other people and continue to play when ever i have free time, like a 3rd person quest sorter game but im not really into elves n wizards n stuff lmao :silly:
Well, it's not exactly an adventure game, but it's 3rd person and it's online, you cab try Shadowgun: Deadzone- it's a shooter game.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Galaxy On Fire is a single player space sim that's only free for a bit. The full game is £7.95. Its well worth it though.
As mentioned Shadowgun: Deadzone is really the way forward. Get involved.

There are several online multiplayer games where everyone runs around. Deadtrigger is what kids here these days are playing. Better buy a controller though.

Rally Racing? Likes a game similar to Dirt? Race of Champions is the closest thing I could find.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=m94CTguzqqA
Reckless Racing 2 might interest you. Need for Speed Most Wanted is another good racer.
I would not recommend getting Asphalt 7... The game is not optimized and does not have nearly the same graphics as the iPad version. If you do some file modding, you can enable the effects, but the game is so laggy it's basically unplayable.
Probably best to post here instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771129
I will checkout reckless,, ROC looks cool on the video also, wish we can have DIRT on our nexus
I notice that asphalt 7 on Gameloft mobile site says asphalt 7 HD. And cost triple the price than play market,, could it be a optimized tablet version?

I own the gameloft "version" as I dont have a credit card, but there is no difference to the Play Store edition (except being uncapable of updating it through play store)
Btw I'd recommend Beach Buggy Blitz ,if you like this special kind of "rally"
Beach buggy is very cool and the best off all so pretty dam good graphic for a free game,,
Good point about updating outside play store,, asphalt 7 keeps updating new cool stuff every month or so in my iPad, so no asphalt 7 on my nexus
