Riptide GP

I just downloaded this game saying in my mind another too good to be true app but still bought it. WOW! I can confidently say graphics were better than my old PSP. It's smooth, Fast and runs like butter on cm7. Its fun and addicting and just wanted to say buy it now!

Already bought it yesterday.

that's good to hear.. i was on the fence with this one.. i guess i'll go ahead and get it then. Thanks!

Yup bought this game its sick the graphics are awsome and the gameplay is very fun!

I got it Sunday as soon as I woke up it was in the Tegra zone and I downloaded i right then. I'm a huge fan of hydro thunder and the xbox port Hurricane s when I saw it was made by the same team I jumped on it. So far it's been tons of fun. But easy is a bit too easy. Playing on hard is a good challenge though.

This game is beast!

Na I don't think that's as good

Riptide is a great game. Definitely brings back fond memories of Hydro Thunder on my Dreamcast....minus the long load times.

This, my friends, is why I bought a Tegra 2 device.
I LOVE Hydro Thunder. My dad and I would hit up a movie theater, buy tickets for a movie that starts in like an hour, and just sink tons of quarters into the machines playing 2 player in those arcades.
They are one of those games where it is easy to pick up but challenging enough to be rough (if you try to unlock all the levels, boats, and skins).
I don't know how involved Riptide GP is but if it is half of what Hydro Thunder is, it would still be a sweet game to have at your disposal.

Just thought this was yet another race game...but you guys have convinced me. Just bought it...DL now.
Ok...gotta say, It's as good as the hype. If you like racing games at all this is a must buy. Game play is spot on and visual effects are incredible.
Thanks for the recommendation...really...

Does anyone know if theres a difference between easy, normal, and hard? Besides the difficulty, do you win or get anything extra when playing on hard?

Riptide GP is 1 of the best Android games out right now. If anyone wants to see how it runs on a tegra 2 phone, here's gameplay video.

I downloaded the demo from the market. Awesome.
I was a little disappointed because while there are "12 Maps" I noticed that the last 6 are just the first 6 in reverse. I guess that works but I'd rather have 12 different maps, AND 12 in reverse (which is what I thought it was).
Overall the game seemed fun. Controls worked well. Kinda weird that your booster only works once vs being able to control it (for turns). Tricks seemed kinda corny too. I'd rather just collect boosters like in Hydro Thunder because it adds to the excitement of having to go out of your way to grab a booster, or trying to find a hidden passage with a coin and booster. Makes the maps worthwhile to explore... although I believe that Riptide will be more linear and not have several paths like its big brothers.
Still a blast to play. The demo was 3 laps of 1 map. I passed up the other riders within seconds. That tells me that Easy probably wouldn't even be fun.
In Hydro Thunder, the difficulty is determined by which boat you choose. That way you always have competition. I dunno. I just love Hydro Thunder. Perhaps someone could steer me wrong on my assumptions (because I haven't played the actual full game). I'd love to be wrong at this. The game itself is beautiful. The water is gorgeous as well as the graphics.
On another note, I also played Vendetta Online today on my G2x. That game was pretty sweet but you can tell it is made for a tablet. Takes a little patience in the tiny menu's but the game itself looks awesome.

The boost doesn't just work once. You need to recharge it by doing tricks. And, you'll definitely need to in the later levels just to keep up.

[GAME] MMO Order & Chaos is OUT!!!

I didn't see this posted yet so I figured I'd start the discussion. Order & Chaos by Gameloft has finally been released to the android market. The best way to sum up this game is that it's a nearly identical clone of World of Warcraft. Now you can bring bring a worthy MMO with you!
The game plays great on my HTC Thunderbolt. Unfortunatley the game has a built in restriction that allows the game to only be played over wifi. There is a unrestrictor app on the IOS version which allows it to be played over 3G. Any ideas on how we can get around this?

Looks great but 7 Bucks to buy. Monthly payment AND a bloody ingame store? Add to that its wifi only and I think I will save my money for a non mobile (and I use that term loosely) mmo

Monthly payments don't appear to begin till Sept and I hear they will be extremely cheap. I imagine less than the game.

WIFI is the thing killing it for me

It's just seems like a completely shameless cash grab. Having a game that incorporate all three points of purchase seems like a bit much.

Welp, if im not enjoying it when sept comes around then i won't pay. Otherwise if it entertains me then i wouldnt mind.

Well damn. I was going to check it out but it wont come up on my Droid x2.

Can't imagine why it wouldn't be set up for a DX2. Tegra 2 is where it's at.

Yeah I know that blows. I'm hoping someone comes up with a hack or app soon so we can play it on 3G. I got a long trip tomorrow and I could totally use this.

Not available for the HTC Sensation!? WTF!? No games for this thing at all!

You can probably edit the build prop to get it.

I just got to a major city in the game and no lag at all. I am so surprised at how well this game runs.

Here is another GL title you may be interested in.

EDIT: NM, looks like that is iOS only atm.

There is that Midgard MMO coming out soon as well. I'm surprised more people aren't interested in this.

I've been playing O&C on my iPad2, for a while. It is a rather good WoW clone. It has its bugs.
I had it running on my Epic4G, but it won't run on my EVO 3D. I hope they update it soon, or someone releases a hack.

Cant believe no support for gtab 10.1... $3 for six months not too bad if its full featured

Hmm what should I pick up next...... I'm still sitting on Eternal Legacy, downloaded it and havent even played it yet. Still finishing Assasins Creed and just started Modern Combat 2

Your link works in Canada too (over wifi). Bought them all at earlier promotions in the uk but 99 cents would beat our promotions. Wish they more games even so I have not played most of the already purchased.

Gameloft is pretty lame tbh.
I have bought my last titles from them forever.
They shamelessly rip off better games that you probably would have more fun playing the original on an emulator.
I was playing Sacred Odyssey thinking it was original... Had never played Zelda:Orcania of Time. Now i am playing it on N64oid and I am like "WTF Gameloft you cheap c%*$".
Sacred Odyssey - 1Gig
Zelda - 25mb
The funny thing is the 25mb game is better than the 1 Gig rip off.

Minecraft's not from gameloft..
Also, link shows me 4.99 USD.. Im in SG.

Promo is not available in my country also, it is still 2.99$.
Anyway some Gameloft games had an issue esp the controls in MC2 and splinter cell conviction..
I really wan't to play that splinter cell, but the i'm always having a hard time using the controls, the sensitivity is too fast when using the right touchpad and there's no option to decrease it..

Not to mention the bug riddled Backstab.
Really have lost faith in this developer.

Actually Gameloft only charges $5 max while Zelda cost me $70 back in the days.
Even at $5 I think the games are worth it

I agree %110 with previous poster. Gameloft's re-makes of some classic titles is pretty shameless. I give them credit for being one the first to bring these genres to android masses.
That said, Xperia play owners should expect to pay a lot less for gameloft titles than some of the better titles in the same genre. I just finished battlefield 2. That games was done really well. The developer had the time to make it right. The controls are so fluid...man is was great. In contrast, play black pegasus 2, and your rubbing the controls constantly. This seems to be there method of there control skeme. Even in splinter cell conviction, as much as I would like to continue trying to play it, I cant stand the controls. EA's games of much higher production quality imho. I have been playing dead space and once again intuative controls.
Graphically the games seem to be somewhat sub-par by comparison to some of the EA releases. I would not have paid for asphalt before nfs but I digress. So 99 cents ain't to shabby. Fair exchage is not a robbery, right.

Getting ALL of these.

Sometimes I'm thinking too not to buy again from this publisher, but still I continue buying their games. Last night I even bought their UNO game thinking that I can play poker, or pusoy, or tong-its on that, haha.. I just played it once gets bored coz I don't understand what am I doing while playing that..
I really hope that they will fix the controls of splinter cell.

Gameloft needs to get on the EA Store... purchase the Xperia PLAY version of Dead Space... play it extensively... then revise EVERY ONE of their shooters until the aiming controls work JUST like that. Unless they issued a new update that made things awesome, I remember Modern Combat 2 having controls that were poor, but doable... then they issued an update that made already sub-par controls into something that was simply IMPOSSIBLE to use.
The version of BIA2 I played was the worst of them all though... for some reason, trying to aim would automatically make me fire, and all kinds of things were just... ugh... Iuno why, but I bought that too... and I guess I'll see soon enough if it's been fixed.
(If nothing else... I get the strangest nerdy pleasure from seeing my list of Xperia PLAY games in the Launcher growing)

Uno

I would happily pay PSP prices for games like Zelda if they were available.
I am not happy paying 9NZD for a game that doesn't function properly and is filled with bugs.
May look nice and all, but with their "style of content" ethos they are pretty much making mass turds of bloatware games that lack two of the major ingredients of making a game enjoyable.
I have a long list of things I could buy for $9NZ, like the Baldur's Gate 1+ 2, a PS2 platinum title, PSP platinum title and Minecraft Pocket.
They can't even take time out of their day to come up some original content so these games ain't even worth 20cents tbh.

Tried to get the games and it would not let me. Error after I entered all my info. I'm in Los Angeles it will work but at 4.99. Wishful thinking damn and I was going to get everything too.

Did you select the R800x from the drop down and scan the QR code? Thats the only way to get that price otherwise you get hit for full price if you try and go through their wapshop.gameloft.com
As for everyone's criticism, I tend to agree in a way. I own a few of their games and yes they do rip off other franchises (ex Star Battalion is a huge ripoff of the story of Star Wars), but the production values in the games are decent. That said they are like just 1 notch below ready. Theres lots of little glitches in Assassins Creed that are a little annoying, and yeah the MC2 controls do suck pretty bad, Apshalt 6 has a few glitches as well. They feel like beta releases, almost ready for prime time but missing the polish and final fixes. This is why I wouldn't pay $5-$7 bucks for these games. But they continuously run sales like almost every week with either buy 1 get 1 free, or 99 cent games, if you're patient you can get any game of theirs you want for a buck. I've spent a total of $2.97 with them and have 3 of their games. While not perfect, at that price they are good enough.

We got 8 more days to keep checking. I keep seeing new 1's every few hours, the 1's that were already 0.10 cents went back up to original price. All I can say is keep checking every few hours and be QUICK!

Simply buy, and then think. At a $ a day for 10 apps, its not something you would regret buying.
And I am esp in love with fruit ninja! I feel so sorry I realized about this only y'day and missed out on the asphalt 6 on day 1.

Anyone else buy every single $0.10 app just because it was on sale?
Some really good ones popped up - I was a little upset about duplicate entries for some days, but I suppose it would be unfair to complain about that with the discount on some of those apps.
I had probably half of them already purchased at full price, which also sucked until I thought about having access to them before the sale hit.
What were your favorites?
Star chart has been my favorite app for a skymap, and I had it on one of my market accounts but it was nice to get it on my primary.
Heavy gunner is a ton of fun hooked up to a tv - I mentioned that one before, and Great little war game really is one.
Shine runner looks like a whole lot of fun - never heard of that one before, but with tv-out I can see that one being a blast.
Paper camera is really cool - probably the most used app I have out of the sale apps. I like the different effects (and even though I complain about doing graphics work) I like making collages of pictures of my lady and I, which she loves. Paper camera opens up some creativity options no other cartoon-type picture app has done as well.
It was good to get sketchbook mobile on my primary account as well, at ten cents didn't mind buying it again.
Asphalt 6 was a let down not being supported on this device - Gameloft has really been aggravating by not making their games compatible with the MT4GS. Some of them are really good, but even with emails to their devs and project managers that are polite and well written, I never get a response or anything. Oh well, suppose i'm just gonna have to write them off at this point - which is a shame.
Beautiful widgets and HD widgets were both good scores in my opinion, i'd never really gotten into widgets before but with running my own ROM now i'm developing an appreciation for people's love of widgets - to me they always seemed like resource hogs and not worth it, but my opinion is changing about this.
SimCity takes me back to my childhood - the very first game I ever modded back on a macintosh in 4th grade - I haven't had the chance to try it yet ( or most of these new ones ) what with my dev attention to other things - but it looks good.
Electronic arts has disappointed me with a lot of their offerings...the games just aren't quite what they should be, but i'm hopeful this one will turn out well.
I know there are some others i'd like to write about, but I really haven't had the chance to play with any of them yet so i'd like to hear what some of you think about the awesome sale Google brought us during the holiday season.
Looking forward to your reviews!

Currently addicted to Sentinel 3 right now. Trying to get past level 200 on endless lol. On feint, some people got to 350ish, it's crazy haha.

I definitely remember getting up there in levels - not sure what my feint score is but you can probably look me up ( same handle as here ).
Quick tip - slow is critical, and sniper towers are a much better investment then the blue electric ones ( forget what they're called )
Also, it's not worth going for distance on the endless modes until you unlock all the weapons and max out your commander.
love that game though - best tower defense on the market in my opinion.
