Not played it yet but Modern Combat 2 :Black Pegasus is only £1 on gameloft's site at the moment (well lots of HD games) not sure if its a world wide sale and only shows up if browsing from device not computer
worth a try with £3.25 off!

sweet thanks for the heads up. Do you think we will be able to use the controls like the stock games use. I would really like to use the dpads and physicall buttons instead of on the screen

of the gameloft games out now have been written with the plays controls in mind so yes u will be able to play with the control pad

I have brothers in arms, modern combat, and N.O.V.A.2.
Nova2 is by far the best of the 3. the aiming with the right analog stickis a lot smoother, which takes a lot of the frustration out of the experience.

Nova2 is also available for £1 atm via their store. Seems that for the past month over here in the UK the store has had the games for £1.

Yea it's awesome.
I bought 5 or 6 games for £1.
Currently loving Spiderman

of the FPS available NOVA 2 is definitely the one to go with.
The Spiderman and Splinter Cell games are quite fun also.
I haven't gotten around to Backstab and Avatar just yet because I want to finish the 5-6 games I've got on there already.

Rainbow six, best game so far!

I'm having trouble with modern combat... I can't get rid of the on-screen joypad... Its really annoying me!

I'm loving Rainbow Six on my xperia play.

mc2 is great for multiplayer. except for the hackers that is....

Rainbow Six just took the crown imo.
It is great.

HD Games!

Can you guys recommend some HD games that run good on the skyrocket??

I haven't played it yet but I think the game "shadowgun" has the best visuals of a game out right now. Its not free though.

Shadow gun is dope and looks like gears of war game play is very similar to it also check it out its pretty cool:thumbup:

Yeah, shadow gun looks pretty good...but I dont think it is worth 5 bucks! I'd rather donate to a dev here than that...zz will prolly try it out if I can't find any other good ones
Thanks for the suggestion though...no other games huh?

I bought shadow gun and its fun to show off and awesome on the tablet especially but I'm not more than five minutes in. Just doesn't pull me. I don't game much on mobile these days tbh. I'd most want to play an RTS but there arent many.

I actually want some games to really show off the performance on this phone...u know...but at the same time, i want some generic games that all people might be interested in
am looking forward to more suggestions guys

The only game ive been playing is Spectral Souls, its a Tactical RPG if your into that

You guys should try this thing called "onlive". It streams current Gen games to your phone. You can use it on your pc to but I was using it on my captivate. Barely any lag. It matters on your net speed, not processor. It blew my mind. Nice to show off to friends.

Shadowgun shows off some good graphics and it's similar to Gears of Wars style.

I love riptide

ok...a quick review of games that i have tried on so far...
shadowgun--absolutely worth the 5 bucks that we pay, and also awesome graphics
spirit--fun and looks gud on big screen
Asphalt was good too
shine runner--nice graphics, but the game gets monotonous after a while
Flick Soccer--really good if u r a soccer fan, an absolute time killer

Shadowgun, Dead Space and GTA3 are beasts. Worth the $$. I am a sucker for World of Goo though. So good

check out Gun Bros!

What are some good retro platformers?

I already have most of OrangePixel's games(Meganoid, INC, etc.) and They Need To Be Fed, but can't find any other good ones. I don't want something like Cordy or Robotto. I'd prefer something more retro-like and also PLAY optimized, if possible. Thanks.

Have you tried Don't look back? Only some of the play controls work. I've finished it and quite enjoyed it despite it's basic gameplay.
Project 83113 is also great but not really retro
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

LMAO, that looks like an Atari game! Maybe a little TOO retro, but I'll give it a try regardless. Thanks.

The sonic games might also be worth checking out as well as:
Lode Runner X
Experiment 13
Karoshi
Gunman Clive
And Tap n crash

Gotta get your hands on Giana Sisters, Pixeline, and Paper Monsters.

Metroid is still a great choice if your into older games
Sent from my Nexus 7

@UndisputedGuy I've already beaten Karoshi & Gunman Clive before, but Tap n Crash looks a lot like impossible game, which is good.
@TLRtheory Giana Sisters & Pixeline...No. Paper Monsters looks OK at most. These all seem too childish to me. Thanks anyways.
@Leraeniesh Unfortunately, I've already beaten every Metroid & Castlevania multiple times. It's too bad Metroidvania is dying. Great recommendation though.

Have you tried Megatroid? It's free but I don't think it's optimised for the Xperia Play
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

Gunman Clive was way too short and I found Paper Monsters to be very very boring. I would certainly agree with the Lode Runner X recommendation even though it isn't a platformer. I would also try Ninjammin Beat-Jitsu even though it's a bit more of a rhythm based game.

@UndisputedGuy I will definitely check out Megatroid. It looks really fun! You're on fire today!
@BrianChase You're right, Gunman Clive was really short, but still fun. As for the other titles you recommended, I'll give them a look. Thanks!

Good point! In my tired state I forgot to mention how much fun I had with Gunman Clive. Great game, but because of that the shortness made me even more sad.

So I got Megatroid, and I gotta say it's pretty awesome. It's pretty much what I was looking for. I really like how the game randomly generates a level based on an entered code as well as all the upgrades in the shop. These give it a lot of replay value. BTW, it actually is Xperia PLAY optimized, but only in-game, which means the menu buttons are only accessible via touch. That doesn't really matter though.

This app is worth every penny.
Another great port by Simon Wai (Christian Whitehead)

I just bought the game and is fantastic!! Now i'm remembering my childhood! :crying:

Looks good but can't really justify spending £2.35 on a port of something that I can emulate at pretty much full speed for free.
However, SEGA are very good to XP users so I will buy this when it goes on offer in a few months time, which it inevitably will.

It's worth it.
It plays differently MUCH DIFFERENTLY than on an emulator.
It's smooth as anything and widescreen, more characters, amazing menus, spindash and multiple soundtracks.

Gotta agree, this game is amazing and better than the emulation. Theres no lag whatsoever using this (on emulators they would lag when the megadrive would i.e. too many sprites on screen)
the bonus levels are really smooth aswell, it actually put me off quite a bit at first xD

SPINDASH... in Sonic 1??!?! INCOMPREHENSIBLE!!!

The special stages are much harder now to be honest because now they are quick and smooth, the genesis ones were slow and snappy.

Have to agree, I actually failed the first special stage a few times because of it..
Not saying it was a bad thing, they did need to be more challenging, I became too good at them after playing the original so much lol

I'm real tempted to buy... if he'd just add some achievements for Google Play Games I'd be all over this.

I'm sorry, did you just say multiple soundtracks? I've been looking all over the game's menus to find an option to change that...
To expand, being the nit-picky... I guess you could say purist, I am, I couldn't help but find little oversights that bugged me more than they should have, such as how the spindash's rev noise doesn't increase in pitch with each press of the action button or how the level-complete score tally is still using the Sonic CD timing leaving a good two seconds of nothing between the level-complete jingle and the score totaling, or how upon boot, a random sound effect will seeming become corrupted in RAM, becoming little more than loud static, or how the widescreen made several bosses more/less challenging, for example the Green Hill Zone boss was made even more ridiculously easy because you can no longer get cornered on the platforms, or how while the Sonic CD port gave you the option as to which spindash you wanted, this port didn't nor did it have the option for the super peel-out, or (though I may be wrong, as said above) the lack of the option to switch back to the old soundtrack, again, CD gave you a choice, so where's this one's?
*Sees pitchfork-wielding mob*
But er, yeah, it's a pretty good port/complete recode, it gives you Knuckles, Tails, Sonic & Tails, no Amy though. Plus one to emulation!, a snazzy menu, and a complete restoration of everything that was deemed "beta" by the Sonic community. This has to be my favourite feature of this port, the Marble Zone UFOs are back, the goggle monitor is back, the GHZ wrecking balls are back, the developers even went out of their way to add Sonic 3s elemental shields and abilities along with the Sonic 2 shield and Super Sonic! This game may need a few updates to fix its more glaring bugs, but I'd be lying if I said that this doesn't challenge even the best of Sonic Retro's disassembly mods!

Well, then it's not the original! They should call it Sonic 1 REMIX or somethin like that.
I prefer playing the original with Tiger Gens. Sonic original is the best

Apps or games that look amazing on LG G3?

Let's share some apps that look great on this phone.

Leo's fortune is great. I am waiting to hear people's opinons on modern combat 5 before dropping $7 myself. So far the few reviews in the playstore are good.

graphics are average on mc5.. not that jawdropping but i guess its gameloft's choice not to push the graphics to extreme quality to broaden the compatibility with as many devices as possible. if you watch some vids on youtube of the s5 playing mc5 you will see that graphics is pixelated. also you will notice some lags here and there but its playable

Racing rivals. Dead trigger2

Dead trigger 2 with the tegra mod enabled.

mc5 looks pretty good. so far it runs smoother than mc4. no iap is a nice bonus.

Pinball Arcade is super sharp on this phone.

Monster shooter 2 is pretty awesome on this phone. Make sure to go in to options and set quality to mind blowing.
Also make sure to go in to your phone options and hide the navbar for this game.
