wow, 8 bucks for that game compared to 1 dollar for wordwise in market. lol.
EA Mobile (makers of the iPhone Scrabble game) also makes an Android version. Oddly, they make it near impossible to find, purchase, and download.
On some Android phones you can simply go to rim.eamobile.com and find it by browsing. It's $7 just like the one a few posts up but if you like the iPhone version you might prefer this one since the interface is nearly identical.
That said, browsing the EA Mobile site does not work on all Android phones in which case I'd recommend using "User Agent Switcher" in Firefox from your PC to trick the EA site into thinking you are browsing from a compatible device. That's what I had to do and I'd be happy to post instructions if anyone needs them.
Alternatively, if you send me a PM I'd be happy to share the apk so that you can test it out before buying.
EDIT: I just saw the version on Handbrake and interestingly it is also made by EA, however, the interface is quite different than the iPhone-esque version available through the EA site (at least when I bought it a month ago). They are either selling multiple versions or did a redesign.

Seems to me like the official one doesn't support online games. From the site it states the following game types:
Play alone
Play computer
Pass and play (which to me sounds like handing your phone back and forth)

My thoughts exactly. I can buy the physical game for $10, and a used one from a garage sale for no more than $5.

First of all I hope this is in the right section.
I was hoping to find some awesome music/rythym games later in the Android Market.
Well, it's been about over a year since Android was released, and I still see a lack of good rythym games!
My request is for a developer to try their best and create a well-designed music game, hopefully using our own music from the SD card..
That would be awesome!

No, I know this is on the market, but we need something better.
Guitar Hero mobile for Android wasn't exactly the best experience I've had.
I have been asking for this game to come to Android since I got my G1. Mainly looking for the NIN Edition!
http://tapulous.com/
Even sent them a request, but so far nothing has come of it. I recommend everybody request it, If there is enough support they might port it.

Can't post links yet, but this is the original thread starting from last year, stating that if theres enough demand, they'll try to port it.
some of you may have played it before but this is a steam game called Audiosurf
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTZTPdDW7PM
a game like this would be awesome on the nexus... basically it produces a unique track based off of each song for that song and its a sort of tetris game where you have to match the blocks up and such... was well worth 10 dollars on steam when it first dropped, i had countless hours of obsessed fun on the thing

That's a very good game, but it needs to ne refined more. But we REALLY need a game like TTR or Audiosurf, I have nothing against taps of fire, but I don't like playing on amazing. Too much for my thumbs.

Everybody should request it so we can get it ported.
In the mean time, I found this:
http://code.google.com/p/tapsoffire/
Somebody mentioned it in this thread already, but I searched the market for it, but it didn't appear. It probably wasn't designed for the Nexus so it didn't show up, but there is a Droid version available from the Google code page. Free and open source!
One of the best music games is Taps of Fire. I have it installed, I recommend others to download this app too, only bad thing is having to hit the notes a little early, but its fine.

Yes. I'm... insanely happy and I don't know why.
I am quite literally a Square Enix Fanboy and I am proud of it.
Long story short, Crystal Defenders is on the market! Just came within an hour ago!
Whoa. 7 bucks. Nice lol. I'll wait to hear a little more about it, looks awesome though

Because they have no way to block it from showing up on the Market to a crippled Tablet running Froyo. 1 star the Android market for not allowing them to block your device completely. 1 star Samsung for probably never giving you Honeycomb which supports the "xlargescreen" in the Manifest.
The Android market is targeted at phones. Not tablets.
You know all that talk about fragmentation? Galaxy Tab (not a real tablet) users and HTC Wildfire (no GPU) users that 1 star apps because of their crippled phones screw with the ratings, thus making the fragmentation idea that developers have keeping them from developing for Android.
Yeah games are also about gameplay too. One-starring something because it doesn't work in the first place is not a proper review.
People affected should not even click on the ratings. They should email straight to the developer for support.

I remember playing this game on my iPod classic a few years back, thanks for the heads up
As a developer (one free game in the market so far) and an avid Android user I must say I'm inclined to side with Ashvsaod. One star is a bit harsh - maybe 2 or 3 tops is more suitable but I understand him nevertheless.
As a developer, if you can't make it work, you should at least point out in the description that it doesn't work with tabs, period. Even more so in a 7 bucks game!
But to be honest I don't think it's that hard to make it work either. My game supports 2.1 and up and it works full screen on the tab (there was basically one programmer working on it for a few months in his spare time - so it ain't the complicated). Even without the xlarge tags you can still query the screen size in the code and make adjustment. I don't think it's justified to blame the platform for their inability to make it work.
But that's besides the point. The main point is that ff a damn expensive app doesn't work on Tabs (which are a rapidly growing chunk of the android sales) it should be mentioned clearly.
Nice to see some bigger developers pushing out games for Android for once and not sticking with the iStuff
The ratings and comments should be used for reviews not bug reports.
I bought it for the sole fact that I can hope to see more, and hopefully original games from them on Android!

Nonsense, handling screen scaling is _trivial_ under android and has been since 1.6. Absolute sizing is just lazy iPhone-like development. Failing to take into account the best practices of the platform if precisely what low-star scores are for.

I suppose this is valid. However, I opt to contact the developer first before lamenting in a Reviews section that not a lot of them may care to review due to emotionally charged ratings anyway.
I've had a ton of success by contacting the devs. They're usually so courteous and modest, as well as thankful that I actually advised them of a bug as opposed to just leaving negative feedback. I've left only a few legit 1 stars before and retracted emotionally charged ratings in lieu of contacting the developer. So far, no one has ever turned me down. And I admit that a couple of bug reports were sent with an admittedly douchy tone as well lol
Huh?
This game seems pretty bad.
Terrible reviews from critics:
http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/crystal-defenders
http://www.metacritic.com/game/wii/crystal-defenders-r1
http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/crystal-defenders
Average review of 60-ish percent.
Square Enix is great, but this game seems awful. And it's over $7.
Am I missing something?

Think it would make more sense to compare it the mobile version of the game on a similar platform. Like the version on iPhone: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/crystal-defenders/id300186798?mt=8
It has 4 stars there as rated by users which I believe is more telling than reviews of the game on a home console. I believe the attitudes of users playing this game on a phone would make more sense than the attitudes of people that are playing a mobile game on a home console.

People expect more of a console game than of a mobile game?
(Those reviews are for 360, PS3 and Wii ports of an iphone game - of course they don't get fantastic scores!)
I played it on the Wii and did not enjoy it much, but yea, I guess it could be good on a mobile platform.
Is anyone else REALLY wanting this game on android as much as I am... gameloft is usually VERY good at releasing games for Android fast after ipod/iphone etc. however this game is taking forever... the last word about it was at the end of April... and here we are almost middle of june and no word at all
Decided to google this and wow, its just like WoW! Looks awesome. Maybe if enough of us email gameloft, they'll get this out quicker. Gonna shoot em an email myself for this.
I actually think it looks pretty cool too. I am just skeptical about buying gameloft games. Do they still have it where if you purchase the game from one device that it cannot run on another device?

There ARE free launchers of MC out there anyhow.. So maybe someone will make an aftermarket launcher thats free based off the paid one? just as with Windows?
I run it on Linux normally (On teh Toshiba laptop) and Windows from USBstick normally (With "PocketLauncher" etc)
Im guessing they will charge you to buy the app unlike the PC business model where you just buy a premium account.
I wouldnt be too happy about paying for the game again. If its just classic mode without multiplayer then I will give it a pass. if it does have multiplayer then I may change my mind
Guys, if you want more good games on the Play, pirating the biggest game to come to it isn't going to help. Just means we'll get less games that will support it. Just put down a few bucks and show your support.
As far as I know, the game will evolve just like the PC version had over the years.

Hey guys, DDP:R and Espgaluda 2 are now released worldwide and I'll link to them below.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ggee.vividruntime.gg_1549
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ggee.vividruntime.gg_1550
I know they are both listed to be compatible with our devices. Sadly they are Verts (never thought I'd have to say that, I can count the number of Horis that aren't R-type clones on one hand) so I can't imagine they are optimized. Still, I'm going to hold out hope that they are optimized until someone gives them a go and tells me otherwise
About the games; DDP: R is a port of Do-Don-Pachi Dai-Fukkatsu with some smartphone exclusive ****. i haven't played Dai-Fukkatsu yet so I can't comment on it but generally (despite their legacy, think Beatles; yeah they influenced a lot of my music but that doesn't mean I care for them) I find the series to be pretty standard as far as bullet hells go. Would love someones opinion who has actually played the game though since my speculation is really just bull-****.
Espgaluda 2 I have given a go and I absolutely love it. Espgaluda 2 features a smartphone mode as well and from what I've gathered is otherwise a pretty direct port and would be hella fun if not for touch screen. Hell, shmups on touchscreen make fighters look like a good idea but I just thought I'd give you guys a heads up since these are two pretty big name games and our device is explicitly listed as compatible.
Oh, and since we're talking shmups here I thought I'd list some of my favorites to play on the Play even though I don't have the links for them in the app store
Esp Ra De, Donpachi, DoDonpachi, Batsgun, Raiden 1 and 2, G-Darius, Gigawing, Mars Matrix (a personal favorite of mine), Progear, Ghost Pilots, 19xx, R-Type, R-Type Delta and Last Resort.
