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.

Robo Defense Free is da shiznit....

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
Ive just realised that i basically do nothing but read stuff and do Shortyz crosswords on my honeycomb tablet.
I only really play strategy games - but there doesnt seem to be anything truly deep and polished.
Please recommend me something that i can play over the holidays so i dont have to bring my laptop and play MEIOU!
Hi,
If you are a strategy fan here are some ideas:
Gameloft HD games where you will find games like: The Settlers HD and Star Front Collision HD (this game is like Starcraft) and Eternal Legacy HD and other great games
Or from the Android Market where you can find games like Catan, Tank Hero or if you like Tower Defense games you may want to try Fieldrunners HD or Myth Defense or you can even play Heroes 2 or Heroes 3 using VCMI- but you must have the original game.
You also have the option to play 3D MMORPG games like Pocket Legends or the new Star Legends.
Also keep in mind that you also have the Amazon Appstore for Android where you can find games like Plants vs. Zombies.
Have a great day!
No no no no! I want a STRATEGY GAME! Not a time waster or RTS.
Im talking Master of Orion or Civilization here...
I like the game Phage
Oh wow i really like phage! Thanks for the recommend!
But its more of a phone game for fast fingers - not too much deep strategy...
hello all,
I first noticed the onslaught of acradey games over the true strategy ones when i moved from winmob.
There are a few risk like games, but nothing similar to age of wonders etc.
I too am looking tor polished turn based strategy like warlords/age of wonders.
There are a few hobbyist made games which you may like Xenowar ( a simplified version of UFO). There's also a new history channel game called great battles :medieval but it's 7 quid. too expensive for me without a demo.
But most do lack polish and or depth.
I hope someone can prove me wrong.
if i see another tower defence game i'll scream.

This is very cool.

Nice game
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.

Yeah, Riptide's fun.
I'm not really shooters' fan, so haven't tried Shadowgun.
In my apps thread I've included games, but let me just copy it there, as there in fact should be a separate games thread
Favourite(?) games:
- Heroes Call THD (Edit 15.07.2012: the developer has responded to my email and was kind enough to offer me gems for free after my loss of data; btw, linking to Facebook account can help you move progress between many devices, this way I got back my progress from the iPad ); Broken Sword: Director's Cut; GTA III; Angry Birds (Space and earlier)
- I'm about to try more than few clicks in some games that seem promising: Siegecraft THD, Grabatron, Six Guns, Wind-up Knight
- some classics: TrialX2 (Winter), Cut the Rope HD, Robo Defense (quite big on this screen, but still cool)
Not really tablet or even infinity specific, but i love Osmos and Gyro.

Do many games support keyboard controls? My PC's PSU is awaiting replacement or I'd try some splashtop (or whatever asus calls it) gaming with steam. Touchscreen controls never exactly wowed me, save for casual or top down strategy like tower defense, and accelerometer controls have just never wowed me at all.

I think some do actually. I think GTA III supports keyboards, I also think that CS Portable might work too.
Even though I've got a bunch of other THD/marketplace games, I find myself playing emulators more often than official android developed games!
My favorite is yongzh's N64oid. Runs better than Mupen64 Plus AE in my opinion, and all the games I have tried have been very smooth on the infinity. Super Smash Bros, Star Fox, Animal Crossing, Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask, Kirby, Mario Kart, etc, etc all run near-perfect, emulate at native resolution, and look amazing on the TF700. Add an HD texture pack (ex: 1 2 3) and it the graphic quality will rival or surpass most new android games!

Wow I didn't even know people made full re-texture packs. That's actually quite cool! I'll be putting some of those in N64oid, that was one thing I didn't like about playing emulators, the textures look awful when stretched to 1080p.

I can recommend you gameboy / nintendo ds emulators as they provide a clearly better game experience than this crappy games made for android.
ALL TIME BEST for NDS is DraStic --> DraStic Nintendo DS emulator . There are many different emulators, but this is the only one REALLY provides lagfree gaming.
For GB you can choose between many free apps by searching the Playstore
Even using a "DOS Box" to play classic dos games seems to be more sensefull. I just don't get how people love to play all these poor android games >.<
