So far all I've found that works well is:
3D / high graphics
Paid:
Speedx 3D - (~$0.70) - Accelerometer controlled tunnel/obstacle avoidance game - best looking/running game I've found IMO
ExZeus Arcade - (~$4.00) - arcade style game, fly/shoot/bosses
Radiant Lite / Radiant (Free/~$2.25) - Space invaders
Homerun Battle 3D Free / Homerun Battle 3D (Free/$4.99)- baseball homerun hitting game in 3D; not my favorite, but I can see the appeal to this game and the graphics are decent. I ended up buying it...
Other games
Fully Free:
Cestos (though, I really miss the keyboard and resistive screen I had on TP2) - Multiplayer "marbles" game
Free/Paid Versions:
Farm Frenzy Lite / Farm Frenzy (Free / ~$4.50) - reminds me of insaniquarium type games
Abduction / Abduction! World Attack (Free / ~$2)
Robo Defense Free / Robo Defense (Free / $2.99) - Tower defense game. Limited types of towers and monsters, and mediocre graphics, but can be addictive. Suggest free version first.
Note: prices listed with a ~ are for titles not listed with a USD($) price, and therefore I list the approximate USD price.
Names in italics are titles I personally recommend and own.
I've tried other games that are supposed to have the best graphics but they've all run like crud (slow to 5fps or less, example:Asphalt 5). I'm particularly interested in 3D or graphics intensive games myself.
I can update the list as people report other games that run well.

That looks pretty fun and doesn't lag. Added to the list. Gfx do look pretty fuzzy though (like QVGA/iphone fuzzy). Also interestingly I couldnt find the free one in the market, only could find it through appbrain. Is this common for android apps? (I'm new to android, used to be WM with TP2)
My wife lives farm frenzy. I haven't had a chance to play with it yet.
Any good rpg's on the market?

iCommando works well and is pretty fun. I wish there was a full on database of every awesome game for android that you could sort by rating. Yeah I know there are a lot of market alternatives but none of them have ALL the games. But usenet has turned out to be a great way to find new games.

It also seems in what amount I've looked so far (since yesterday), that there are many apps that are incompatible with the snapdragon phones and only will run well on the other android phones.
Robo defense rocks, though speedx is amazing!

Yes, asphalt runs horribly. My understanding is that it's an iphone 3GS port and is not optimized to run with snapdragon. The droid and some other android phones share a GPU with the iphone so it runs fine on those.
edit:Exzeus arcade is pretty good though (also, it's on the market as well)
I also tried zenonia someone suggested and it does run fine... but it's very "fuzzy", looks like an old iphone port (Iphone or Iphone 3G) from their extremely low resolution qvga screens.
I did buy Farm Frenzy and it's pretty fun although the capacitive screen to select such tiny areas is frustrating sometimes ^.^
Homerun battle 3d. Single player or online multiplayer. Be careful, it gets crazy addictive.
Radiant, great art design. SNESoid, gamboid for all your retro needs, crusade of destiny for a great rpg experience.
i'LL DEFINITELY HAVE TO CHECK OUT SOME OF THESE!!
im waiting patiently for angry birds
Hey guys, getting my new XPlay here in a couple of days. Of course I'm going to be jumping right into emulation, playing all my old favorites. However, I'm also interested in checking out the latest and greatest Android games, and was looking for some reccomendations since you guys are sure to know the top games in each genre.
The two types of games I'm looking forward to most would be a 3D FPS, and I would want this game for its multiplayer mode. I want to be able to jump in to a deathmatch game on my Play quickly and have a good time.
I also love RPGs, the more open-world the better. Are there any games that fit this bill on Android? Thanks for the responses, guys.
For FPS,i think Battelfield 2 and some other shooter are good.
But you have to pay for em
Rpgs: There are a few,not alot of favourites but check out ZENONIA .
So does Bad Company 2 have a multiplayer component on the Play? How does it compare to NOVA 2 or Modern Combat 2?

Oh and,you might have to make up your mind fast about BFC2,since EA dont like that Android is a nest of cheaters that download it for free =/
i love modern combat 2! personally think it is the best fps on the play

Bad company is the best fps, best controls and graphics, but dont have multiplayer.
Modern combats controls its to hard for me.
Rainbow six is great and have a great multiplayer.
Pocket legend is a great Mmo

I loved the production quality of this game on iPhone, but controlling anything but strategy/role-playing games with a touch screen is simply garbage. I'll finally get to realize this game FOR REAL on my Xperia PLAY!
...once my 32GB comes in... my 16GB has about 113MB free lol.
YES!
Been wanting to play this since it came out on iOS. My iPod Touch couldn't run it xD
When is it out!

Gameloft games are ripoffs of most games... I was wondering how long the game play is. It was really annoying with sacred odyssey because it didn't take that long to complete the game.

Agree.
But......this doesn't make them bad.
Alot of Gameloft games are very good. And besides, all games follow the same format anyway. They all rip each other off.
Modern day gaming gets on my nerves alot too. Look at the original Megadrive versions of Sonic the Hedgehog for example.
They are still better than every other 2D platform game released on any system since.
Most of todays 2D platform games (or 3d side scrolling platformers) are terrible in comparison.
Super Magnetic Neo, Sonic Adventure and Loco Roco are vastly superior to the Sonic 2D titles. I would say SMN and LR could enjoy a second chance in mobile due to its gameplay mechanics.

These are 3d games, when i clearly stated 2d (or 3d side scrolling) games
(Never played Loco roco so cant comment on that though).
I personally think Sonic Adventures were amazingly crap compared to Sonic 1/2/3
I would love to see a Dragonball z game.
Use a emu to play dbz for now
A realistic car racing game. The most realistic car racing game we have is NFS:Shift. I usually emulate Gran Turismo 2 but I want something else. Maybe something similar to Gran Turismo PSP.
I would also like another open world game like Gangstar, something similar to the GTA games. Maybe 9mm but openworld.'
Oh and last lastly an airplane games like HAWX. or atleast make HAWX with Xperia Play controls.
Quick Summary
Realistic Car Racing Game
Grand Theft Auto style game (Gangstar)
Hawx or Airplane game
I would love to see a an Rpg with some more thought put into it. Nothing fancy graphics wise, but at least some level of consistency graphically and depth gameplay wise. Specifically what I want would be like zelda graphics meets a bethesda game. Open world (not 3d though, just top view 2d), input on dialog, quest with no specific order, real time fighting, and character / skill customization. Probably not gonna happen though. I think bethesda has spoiled me and made me expect to much from games

Lesee... we're full to the brim on RPGs... old school, new school, Japanese-style and western-styled. Abundant in MMORPGs... overloaded on every kind of Third Person/First-Person shooter known to man, living the dream life with platformers, full of options for tactical games, loaded with simple fun puzzlers, we have a decent selection of SH'MUPS already... and if I see one more goddamn ************* two-stick shooter I might just puke...
...but the one thing we just don't have is a definitive fighting game.
All I want is one definitive fighting game. Online play is an absolute must.
Even though Further Beyond Fighting didn't feel "professional" I had a lot of fun with that, and Bruce Lee surprised me in a number of ways... but I don't feel like either one of them were "definitive" fighting game experiences. I'm thinking something along the lines of how iPhone's Street Fighter IV: Volt would be if it was risen out of "the touch-screen control ghetto" for an Xperia PLAY release.
An RPG game officially released by Square Enix, probably The Last Remnant for Android lol..
or the frustrated rumor Final Fantasy 7 remake for PS3 android
I'd like to see a marvel vs capcom style fighting game

Guys I have posted Sony Ericsson some game titles so can everyone put a games title or a what kind of game her so I can give him the link of this thread so they can know what we want.
A decent management game.
Although I'm not a big football fan I'll eg. Championship Manager.
Closest I've got so far is emulating 'Supremacy' for Amiga/C=64.
Oh, and likes of 'Game Dev Story' don't count. They're ****.
Game Dev Story is a life sucker, but of course it's not a good micromanager. But those kinds of games which require micromanagement have been replaced with Facebook games, mostly.

Hi everyone. Just want a bit of help really. I want a good Final Fantasy type RPG to sink my teeth into, and was wondering which you all think is the best. Every time I look on the Market I just keep getting MMO's, lol. It can be either 2D or 3D.
hey, i visit these forums everyday but i just forgot i had an account xD by the way, i know some titles.
Symphony of Eternity (JRPG)
Eve of the Genesis (JRPG)
Zenonia 1,2,3 (Action-JRPG much like 2d zeldas)
Eternal Legacy (JRPG, its the gameloft version of FF13, i think its quite boring)
these are also endless possibilities with emulators. even if you don't have an xplay, JRPGs are playable on touchscreen
i'd also like to expand the topic a little bit. I'm searching for western rpgs, as close as elder scrolls as possible. On android, there are some open world games like GTA3 or GOF2, but they are not rpgs, also there's no fantasy medieval setting. Earth and legend is kinda sucky and boring. Dungeon hunter 2 is a bad diablo/torchlight clone.
Then, there are emulators. On the psx theres diablo which is awesome and addictive, but its far from being a WRPG. There is also a jap-only version of ultima underworld but its, ya know... jap-only. On the snes there is ultima 6, might and magic 3, and eye of the beholder. The former has a strange system (can't really figure out what to do), the latter two are candidates even if they have parties and the action window is small. Haven't tried them yet. Exact same for Mazes of fate on the GBA. On the n64 there's gauntlet legends which is like diablo if i'm not mistaken. Then there's of course zelda OOT, MM and a bunch of horrible games like quest 64. The zelda titles are of course awesome but they're not what i'm looking for.
Someone has managed to get daggerfall running on andosbox. I tried and it went slow and laggy as in his video. However he pm'd me saying it can be made to run at full speed.
In the end, i'd really like suggestions, on android games and emulators alike. I hope i haven't gone off topic, just wanted to help bluescorpion and to not get clumsy with a redundant topic.

Thanks for the help man, I'll try them out. And I totally forgot about my emulators, lol. I'm gonna DL FFV and Secret of Mana.
I wish you could get the original Fallout on Android.
I've had a hell of a fun time playing Eve of Genesis. There are so many hidden items to obtain, extra bosses after the "final" boss and a lot of customization with the characters and skills.
Zenonia 3 was also a lot of fun. Very hack and slash but good for a playthrough. This game also has extra content after beating the game the first time. There is a "Hard" mode and a "Hell" mode as well.
SNES RPGs are plentiful. Don't think I need to go into the mainstream ones but if you haven't played Treasure Hunter G, find a translated ROM immediately and play it. Only released in Japan but it's an amazing game.
No problem man fallout is completely mouse driven, right? dunno if that could work for me. I also thought about GemRB for baldur's gate ecc., is it worth it? does it work on the gamepad? I think many of those games need mouse anyway.
as for JRPGs, if you take emulators into account there's a whole lot even of non-mainstream ones. On the SNES try Star Ocean, Terranigma and Illusion of Gaia, on the PSX try Persona, Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve (the first one), Chrono Cross and Wild Arms. Of course if you don't know them already.
Huh, onlive has the witcher. Can it be played on the xplay? I can't try as i'm not in uk/us. Maybe there's a way around that
You can always emulate classic PsOne RPGs like FF7 8 9 on FPSE if you're feeling
android RPGs are bad..
On my case I'm still playing Spectral Souls and its a good one for me.. Id also want to try out Generation of Chaos but buying a second pricey RPG game is too much for me right now. But hyperdevbox games speaks for itself, their games are good compared to other games which looks like it was made from RPGmaker.
Ive tried Eternal Legacy since it has nice graphics but I quit playing after a few hours since I find less action and effort of Gameloft here to actually even clone Final Fantasy. I hate that you can only select commands for the main character and just select a command profile for the other party members.. *sigh*
that's my main thoughts on the turn-based RPGs.
If Im going to play a slash-and-destroy-your-way RPG I'd definitely pick Dungeon Hunter over cartoony Zenonia series but both are good games you should get.
But right now, aside from hyperdevbox RPGs, I'd say PSOne RPGS are still best.

I recommend Castle of Shadows.. looks pretty good, kinda interesting story and it's fun
But.. I'm not sure if it's the sort of game you are looking for.
For me, there's not a single mobile game that has the character or charm of even the worst console/PC game.

Truthfully, I would have to agree with you on that. I'm not feeling the love for many of the mobile games. Maybe I'm just old, I dunno. Although I do like plenty of newer PC RPGs. **cough Skyrim** But that is a different animal all together. The Zenonia series deserves a good score though, it's a good action RPG. Also, Pocket Legends seems good enough to be a totally free MMO. Neither of those are really like Final Fantasy though. Run all the PSOne Final Fantasy games though PSXPeria and/or FPSE and you'll be in heaven. I'm playing through Final Fantasy Tactics right now. I'm also after the dozens of PSOne RPGs that I never got too, such as Xenogears, Grandia and Chrono Cross. Google something like Top PSX RPGs and you'll find tons of top 10 type lists with lots of RPGs.
Use GameBoid to emulate Golden Sun and its sequel.

You won't find a single mobile phone game at sixty dollars either. I'm afraid good story telling, scripting and so on has its price and it will never get cheaper, it's not like graphical power which has catch-up economies and gets cheaper to use with time.
I agree with logs, your comparing 2 diffrent genres, mobile games are cheap to make and cheap to buy, console games have massive budgets and hundreds maybe thousands of people involved in the development, where as mobile games would be lucky to have a team of 10 programmers.
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
If you're looking for something that's actually console-quality, go for Spectral Souls and Generation of Chaos.
Kind of unfair listing those since they are actually full-on console ports, but hey... they're in unplayable condition on PSP, so Android's pretty much their only real releases. I'll let you know right now that, if you can leap over that psychological "Holy ****, that's $15 for a goddamn phone game!" barrier, you'll have found the games that don't 'feel' like mobile phone RPGs.
Honestly, I don't mind the mobile phone RPGs either. Symphony of the Eternity, Alphadia and Eve of the Genesis have brought me something I've been wanting for a while... some Final Fantasy-like games from their 2D prime that have a new, fresh feel.
yeah, i forgot about Spectral Souls, but i've never been into strategy RPGs, i thought he didn't want that stuff.
Hey TLR, i sent you a pm on youtube about open world WRPGs, could you give it a look when you have time? It can also add a bit to the discussion here
