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
Hi.
I have talked with friend of mine who has developed couple Android applications about making some games for android. We have worked together before on one game and we have working 3d engine that was successfully ported to Android.
My part in this will be to make up some cool game, and to do all graphics (2d and 3D).
So if you don't mind, I will love to hear from rest of android users, what types of games do you prefer or will like to play on your mobile device. That will help us a lot in this early stages to make some concept that will be interesting to more people.
Thank you all.
P.S. you can chose multiply types in poll.
Simple, addicting, and smooth.

Games that can be played with one hand. Of course good graphic is always good. Whenever I'm riding subway, I have to stand and have to play with one hand cause the other hand is holding a pole to hold my body. It sucks cause the only game i can play that's fun with one hand is Abduction!
city jump!
good one handed fun

yeah; it's a nice game; I was kind of suprised by it.
P.S. I don't wan't to sound inpatient or annoying, but I would like if more people had given their vote... Topic has over 170 views, and just 12 votes... It will be really helpful if i get more votes.
Thank you all once again.
I prefer single player RPGs like the Elder scrolls games, mmorpgs are always full of annoying kids and griefers.
I'm a big fan of simple games. What I would like to see the most is some kind on simcity like game. Something that I can play casully at work but has depth to it.

As for gaming, simple addictive and easy control, angry birds is obviously one of the best portable games, love pocket legends but it requires a good solid internet connection to play, not always available, wordsmith is probably my favourite a game played using minimal internet use online but at your leisure, basic scrabble really.

I vote for some good bluetooth/wifi adhoc multiplayer games, co-op would be cool, Golden Axe or BubbleBubble style, not internet multiplayer games as I have a PC for that.
I play quick games on my phone.
I go for a morning coffee and my mates are not there so a play a bit of angry birds, simple 5 min games. Nip to the loo to sit on the throne and the same there. more in-depth games i stick to the PC
But saying that I did enjoy playing The Scummvm games i.e. monkey island on my Palmtop, as long as I can end the game suddenly and pick up where I left off the next time.

If you haven't seen it yet, Further Beyond Fighting is now officially Xperia PLAY Optimized.
I remember playing this on iOS... and it was kind of a wreck... kinda >_>.
Looking at the reviews on both the iOS and Android versions, it's clear that "touch-screen" and "fighting game" just don't belong in the same sentence... this game got rated a lot lower than it deserves just from that.
Swapping between touch and physical controls, it's a MASSIVE difference.
Now it's all smooth-as-butter performance, WITH controls that respond

I had Street Fighter IV Volt on my 4th Gen iPod Touch... Capcom did alright with the limitations they had to work with, but compared to buttons it still sucked ass.
I'm hoping Capcom will release SFIV Volt on Xperia PLAY too so I can play it for real.
has very bad reviews.. bruce lee is even better despite its insane difficulty.. (just the memorize-all-combos part though)

Of course it does... people been playing it with horrible touch-controls.
Lol if I had to play a fighter with touch-controls, I'd give it a very bad rating too. It's not perfect, of course, but after playing with touch controls then getting a substantially more responsive experience on Xperia PLAY, this feels like a brand new game. This is why Xperia PLAY kicks every other smartphone's ass at gaming.
Bad reviews because of it being poorly polished, that is. Judging from the game's screenies and video, it looks mediocre. Half-cooked. That's why.
I'm kinda addicted now.. I just love fighting games.. Eventhough I can't jump, no touch pad support, no good combo, only few characters.. but i'm sure this will not take that long because of those issues..

I doubt anything will beat Tekken 3 to be honest.
This doesn't look good at all.
No, this game looks terrible. I mean if this game had better gameplay and graphics then it would be worth it. It seems like a bad game from a fly by night vaporware dev. No offense to anyone who enjoys this game.
Exactly. Nailed it.
Hey There!
Hi Guys, it's us from PJS-Coding - developers of Further Beyond Fighting!
First: Thank you TLRtheory for this thread. We're glad you're all discussing our game.
Regarding all your feedback: We plan to implement new combo moves shortly.
New moves are a top priority for one of the next updates. And if you have any feedback and features you want us to implement, just drop us a mail: support.android(AT)further-beyond-fighting(DOT)com
We're available 365 days a year and respect all the feedback we get. TLRtheory can confirm that; he was one of the persons who asked us to add Xperia PLAY support. And now it's here!
Stay in touch!
Now that's what I like to see from a dev.
I think its great that you are listening and participating through the Xda community. I wonder is or was there ever a demo release of the title? It seems that a round or two of the game would open the flood gates for areas of oppurtunites.

Currently, we have no demo release. But we had some discussions going around regarding a free-to-play version. We will keep you updated when there will be a release.

IMO a demo would be a better idea than a "free to play" version, I tend to stay away from free to play games or free games with in app purchases. As these tend to alway run in the background, and flood your notification bar with "special offers" Gun bros by glu is a prime example of this
I really loved playing Gun Bros but uninstalled for that very reason.
I'll admit... I've been waiting for this game for months even before it's English translation was announced. Having them suddenly announce that it'd be released today had me F5'ing the **** out of their page
I like old-school style RPGs; but playing games I've already played before via emulators is kinda depressing. I do like that KEMCO's mixing in just that right balance of old and new school so that their RPGs don't have those archaic old-school RPG issues, but also don't kill that ever-so-mysterious *charm* that era's RPGs had. Judging by the scores of their previous RPG releases (Symphony of Eternity, Eve of the Genesis, Alphadia and Grinsia) the known name behind games such as Dragon View and Shadowgate still got it!... and so far, this is even better than their last Xperia PLAY RPGs!
I hate to remove Galaxy Hero from my website's featured game spot, but Aeon Avenger's in town!

I have been keeping an eye out for this game since I saw the original and that it was being translated in to English. Thank you..... awesome find my friend.
Bought it.......
What makes this one special? I admit Kemco have stepped up their game considerably, even releasing a video opening for such an old relearn as Eve of the Genesis... The tune is catchy too. However, I feel they're a bit too conservative with their games, and I really hope they release a killer app because they really try hard.
No Logseman, this game is not conservative, this game looks OLD, and as I said in another Kemco game's thread, looks like it has been made with RPG maker.
Even 2D RPG games for PSX looked far more advanced than this.
We are in the year 2012, but seems that Kemco doesn't know it.
Yeah it looks a little old, but looks are not everything. I for one am glad the Kemco is making these RPGs and not only that makiung them compatible with our devices....so Kemco..... THANK YOU!!

I was actually asking about gameplay. 2D graphics ate not an issue for me if they're well bundled with a good story. That's where I don't want them to be conservative.

Ditto.
BTW, this is far above the league of anything made in RPGmaker... I don't even understand what form of dementia would make him bring that up again seeing as the entire notion got trampled over last time he tried that. KEMCO's RPGs are thricefold the depth of anything that could be created in RPGmaker, the resolution is much higher, and the graphical detail is much higher... meaning the only thing they really have in common is that they're 2D.
I'm starting to wonder if it's just a common troll trend to call all non-SQEnix 2D RPGs "RPGmaker lookin crap".

Myself and most ohers dont care for trolls, but still point being Kemco is awesome for making these games available to the masses, and I do hope they bring there other Japanese rpg games to the masses as well..... people can troll all they want, People will enjoy it or not. For me....I will be enjoying it.... and for those that enjoy it show your support by buying the game, because ultimately its about revenue and if people buy the game and Kemco sees there is profit and interest we will continue to see good things come from it.
This is a game that doesn't need an introduction for most of us gamers from the SNES era. But for those of you who have NEVER heard from Chrono Trigger, you need to check this out.
This game is not only one of the best RPGs of all time, but one of the best games overall. Featuring multiple endings, an amazing and dynamic battle system, and a great and charming cast of characters designed by Akira Toriyama (you may know this guy from Dragon Ball Z). It's a masterpiece from beginning to end.
I know the $10 price can drive most people away. But for 15+ hours of great storytelling and epic battles, it is worth every penny.
Well, enough introductions. Here's the link to the Play store, enjoy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...VfZW5peC5hbmRyb2lkX2dvb2dsZXBsYXkuY2hyb25vIl0.

The game was ported from the Nintendo DS version, which was ported from SNES (they just improved graphics and music). Isn't it much better to play it with an emulator?

The DS port had extra dungeons and an extra ending as well. It wasn't a straight port.

First of all you missed two steps
1995 = SNES
1999 = playstation 1
2009 = Nintendo DS
2011 = Wii Console and iOS devices
2012 = Android
Second, no. There is no stable or dependable Nintendo DS emulator and while it's essentially the same game, when you've been playing it for nearly 20 years (like we real fans do), you kinda want the dimensional vortex and lost sanctum content to play with as well. There is only so much you can do to make the game experience unique and I long ago got tired of naming characters their actual real names (Nadia, Janus, R66-Y, Glenn, etc)
There's only so many times you can see the like dozen endings yknow
I bought mine yesterday. The ONLY thing I don't like about it is that I don't get the 2x game speed option that I had on emulators. Level grinding takes forever now
Otherwise, well worth it. Best RPG ever, hands down. By the way, OP, you forgot to mention that while the characters were done by the Dragon Ball Z people, the game itself was designed by the Final Fantasy people. Dream Team ftw.
I did not remember the game being so ugly.
Are you sure they haven't made it worse than the console edition?

It does appear to have been filtered, I wish SE added the option to switch it on and off. And yes I forgot: the game was the love-child of the Final Fantasy team AND the creator of the Dragon Quest series. Yet still this is not a typical turn-based RPG...you gotta see it for yourself.
my life is complete.
Quick question for you guys. I actually want to buy the game to support square and hopefully get them to release more of their catalog for android, but I'd really like to be able to play the game when not connected to the internet. I've seen apk+data downloads - my question is, if I buy the game from the market, and just put the data in the folder the downloads suggest, can I then play it anywhere? Or will it not work that way? If not, I'll just buy it and play other games when I'm off the network (annoying) but if there's a way to both support the dev and be able to play it the way I want, that would be perfect.
one of the best games!
Love this game
I like secret of mana better.
Via PadFone on Tapatalk. Tablet/Laptop phone ftw!
I downloaded Final Fantasy 3/6 because it is suppose to rival this game but doubt it would.
In today's world of CoD and Halo with each game looking like a different regurgitation of the last, this game still stands proud today. Amazing character development, I remember at least 5 different endings. How many games change the plot from the choices you make in game today? Me and my two brothers would play this together (one would play the other two would watch) on the first snes emulator that came out. We would Name two of the characters after the two older brothers and the third character (frog) we were suppose to name after my little brother but we just nicknamed him after my little bro instead ''Farty" The dialog turned out to be amazing because of it.
What happened to good gaming? What happened to the sniper battles of MGS, or fighting a boss who made you unplug your controller (literally). The environment of FFX. Gaming today sucks! And don't say it has gone to platform, it's gotten better there but it sucks there too! I have an amazing PC rig but no games to enjoy it for.
We have all the money and power but no creativity to put to it.
