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.

Nothing beats old school strategy games.......my favorite is running the old PC DOS title "Panzer General" from the DOSBox app

Try playing Age of Strategy
Its a pretty fun turn based game that is quite similar to civilization and is quite difficult:good:

Yea, exactly! Emulators are the best! Everybody should have them installed!
I introduce this game
I am playing 'Age of Strategy'.
This is very cool.
If you want middle-age strategy game, you must play this.: 좋은 :
ok
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

A nice Red Dead Redemption ripoff. Surely Gameloft must already be making it?
A good multiplayer Pokemon ripoff would be good too!
And just some normal platformers.

I did Dbz ultimate battle 22 but it would be better if there was a really dbz game optimized for Xperia play you know
God of War would be lovely to. I fIghting and an race game toe afcourse.
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.
Europa 1400 for me if its micromgt games Oldschool thirst for power

I've literally bought every app, except the toddler apps. which I'll regret not buying later when I had a toddler.
I think it is because Amazon Appstore has conditioned me to just purchase the daily free app even though I don't really need it.

It is important to point this out. GetJar has some of these 10c apps for Free. Better than 10c. They are a legit/legal service, just incase you are wondering. Just get the GetJar app from the android market. Here is a crossmatch of what they are offering for free.
Paper Camera
Beautiful Widgets (No longer working)
Can Knockdown 2
Farm Frenzy
Baseball Superstars 2011
Undoubtably, for the next 5 days, there will be some offered for 10c, where the app can be had for free.
Luckily, the only app I bought for 10c was Can Knockdown 2. I can deal with wasting 10c.
I would just like to point out one more thing. On the last day, 10th day, of the 10c app deals, they should be releasing GTA III for $4.99. Can't wait!

So, yeah, Max Payne - installed it, seems pretty nice! Hard though, as i am not yet used to touchscreen based playing. But good old Max rox
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.
Simple, yet addictive.

Yeah, I told you I liked it from the very beginning! Forgot it was you, n1.
You can add Broken Sword: Director's Cut to the list, it's a great classic revived, although I liked it better in lower res (had it on iPad), as you can see some pixels on FHD.. but, on the other hand, this adds this retro style to it.

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 know majority here probably wants some 3d and heavy graphics games list, but I simply love simple and addictive games.
