Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction HD is out for Android.
It needs more than 500MB and runs really good on Desire:

looks hella crazy!! should run fine on my Galaxy S Vibrant....

WHOA, looks amazing! Finally, the first proper big game for Android! Should work fine for my Galaxy S as stated above.

It's been removed from the market already
Anyone know why?
Edit: I'm stupid. Sucks that you can only get it from Gameloft though

Looks awesome. Any more details on this? Developer, etc?
Edit: Nevermind. http://www.gameloft.com/android-games/splinter-cell-conviction/

This is why I must convince my dad to get me a new phone and a bigger sdcard
or a new ipod my 2g sucks curse you apple

While the game runs great the controls need work as it's insanely hard to navigate and shoot.

It's better or worse than the iphone's version.
Unfortunately the Android phone market is flooded with devices with subpar hardware. In fact apart from Galaxy S class phones everything else sucks compared to iphone (as far as GFX HW goes).
So I'm inquiring whether it was built with Galaxy/Nexus S in mind or plain Qualcomm devices. If it looks/runs significantly worse than the iphone version I already have my answer.

^BS its the exact same game. On all platforms, its the exact same game. The gaming controls suck though. Try out DD:FW

Heh, good news I guess...
We sorely need games of the Splinter Cell calliber on the Android Market, it's pretty much the last castle that Apple still holds...
BTW does DD:FW on the Android performs equally well as that of the iPhone?

Is anyone else not a fan of on screen controls? Or is it just me?

Heh I love em! Especially on FPS to be honest.

Running great on my Vibrant. I have wondered why it's taking this long to get decent games on Android. I know the iPhone has had better hardware than android phones, but earlier this year, most android phones had similar cpu/gpu specs. I'm guessing the software/OS in apple mobile products is just THAT much better. I know the Vibrant hardware blows away iPhones, but games/apps seem to run, at best, just as good.
Either way, I'm glad to see games this good start rolling out. The aiming isn't super precise(not horrible though, by any means), but the game overall has been great.

Fantastic !

People gameloft look like they starting to love us android users.

Bro the iphone doesnt have better hardware then android the only thing that better then us is their High Res screen that all...
They dont have better Os, they just have more money then google and promote heavily on their products that all.

So why is it dungeon defenders(and most other games) run smoother with lesser hardware? All decent games starting to roll out are being built for the tegra dual core phones. The iphone didn't need crazy specs to run what android phones are just now getting into. Unless you have another answer besides "money", I'm still convinced it's the os.

I can say it mostly because of Samsung Galaxy phones and Droid's line phone that have Power VR SGX530 & 540 chip that allow us to play this game fluently.
That what the iphone 3g & 3GS had over us up until last year with Original droid 1.
This year with galaxy phones and droid 1,droid 2 and X.
Other android device doesnt have them they have adreno 195 to 205 which is mostly htc devices has a bad graphic chip, doesn't allow the game to play steadly .
This is why Samsung was choice to be manufacture to make Nexus S and not htc.
Specs on Iphone graphic Gpu:
Iphone3g wiki info on specs . Graphics PowerVR MBX Lite 3D GPU
Iphone3gs wiki info on specs. Graphics PowerVR SGX535 GPU
Iphone 4 GPU Apple A4 (PowerVR SGX 535)
If you see a trend here developer like this chip to be on phone to enhance the graphic on the device.

All these games run perfect on my g2 compared to the ioS. My brother has an itouch and has the same games and they look and play better on my phone then his ipod. I haven't compared to an iphone 4 but I have never had a problem gaming on my device.

Android/Windows phone recommendation for gaming

The contract for my HTC Desire is about to run out and I'm looking for a new phone but am really confused about which I should get. I primarily use my phone for gaming and the only thing that annoys me about my current phone is the lack of storage space for apps (even when I'm using Cyanogen).
I really like Android but I'm also quite interested in Windows phones because of the XBL integration. I'm just a bit concerned about the lack of games/apps on Windows phones at the minute. Though I suppose that will improve. When I got my Desire a couple of years ago the Android market was pretty sparse too.
I've been looking at the Galaxy S2 as a couple of people at work have got it but it looks enormous which puts me off. I think I'd quite like something around the same size as my Desire but if the S2 is really that much better for gaming I wouldn't mind going for that anyway. I imagine I'd get used to the size. I've also thought about the LG Optimus phones. Maybe the 2X?
Any thoughts?

Depending on your carrier, I'd suggest going with a Windows Phone 7 model, the Samsung Focus, to be specific. My opinion is WP7 has better games than Android. It may not have as many, but what it has is certainly excellent. But it is still growing too. So the number of games and apps with improve over time. It also has superior apps compared to Android, with the exception being the XDA app. The Android version is superior to the WP7 version. There's a lot to love about WP7. Mainly it has superior integration of social features, messaging and communications. It is by far more convenient than Android and much more reliable. It is smoother, cleaner. faster. It doesn't require as much power to run than Android does for being low-resource hungry.
One superb feature of WP7 hardware is the GSM versions are world phones. If you have a carrier branded WP7 phone sim-unlocked, you can use it on any GSM network, 3G data as well as regular cell service. But there are unlocked versions available at reasonable prices. The Focus is available online for as little as $150 brand new. Best Buy online has them for $250.
But if you don't mind waiting a few weeks, you will be able to choose from the second generation of WP7 phones soon to be released. The Samsung Focus S will be basically the same as an SGS2 but loaded with WP7 and better specs. It's the one I'm eagerly awaiting. It will have the glorious SAMOLED+ tech in a 4.3" size.

If it is primarily gaming then I suggest an iPhone 4s.

Check on each of the OS's app stores for what games they have.
Then just go for the phone which has the most games you want.
Simple.

Factoring in the OP's wish for a smaller screen and i'd agree. The only Android i could suggest with a smallish screen is the Nexus S. These can be had at good prices now.

Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY?

I do like the look of the Xperia Play, actually. But part of me wonders if I'd be shooting myself in the foot getting that instead of one of the more powerful Androids when I'll be tied into a contract for 18-24 months.
I'm not fussed about getting an iPhone. My wife has one and I've got an iPad which I use for playing iOS games.
I do find the Windows phones intriguing but I'm scared about committing to a platform I'm not sure is going to take off properly. Android seems to be on the up and up at the minute and I just can't see Windows phones catching up. But I have to admit, I am tempted...

To be honest, Android has most of the games the iOS has, and some more, but not as much as the iOS. So if you have the iOS, it makes no sense to me for getting android, if you already have a platform with more and the same.
So why not try WP7 then?

If you dont wan't an iPhone. Get an Android phone, check out maybe a SGSII? or Nexus S?

iOS is less stable than Android

Now, the reasons for these app crashes are numerous. Everything from iOS 5 being new to the market, problems with hardware, internet connectivity, language support, or just plain ‘ol poorly coded apps. It can even be argued that because there are so many more iOS devices than Andr– oh, wait. I almost forgot. There isn’t.
Even with this newly released data, I almost still don’t believe it. Android. With all the talks of fragmentation, force closes and incompatible apps, could somehow turn out to be more stable than iOS? Well, slap my momma and call me Sally. Who’d-a-thunkit. Now, I’m sure this will come off as the flames of an Android fanboy but I assure you, I’m not hating. Just found this information interesting and felt like sharing. Did this data surprise any of you?

That's definitely something, considering iPhone has a "strict" marketplace, where only select apps are approved.

This is interesting, I would have expected them to be roughly even with android slightly ahead with the crashes considering all the variables, I am pleased to be wrong. I just hope at least some iusers see this before they go off spouting nonsense as they usually do about how totally stable ios is and how it "Just works"

For the record, that shouldn't be iOS is less stable than Android, it should be iOS Apps are less stable than Android Apps. They're not measuring OS crashes.
I get that the OS affects how and how well apps run. But so do a lot of other factors... e.g. devs fixing bugs in the code, etc.
That said, I also know that for the user, the experience itself matters, not the reason(s) for it.

I remember myself having someone with a ipod touch others with iphone having crashes so much, and running the early version of teamhacksung's ICS on my cappy has had very little crashes.. A lot less then I seen in a week of this ios crap :/
It is funny how hard the owners of ios devices try to say they are better, but you always know that's never going to be true with iOS being more unstable, out of date, and non open source..

How ironic that the apps must be approved by apple first before it goes into the app store.

I had an iPhone 3GS but was never an i-sheep. I'm very happy in the Android camp. Innovation, tweaking and customizing are all good things that we do here.
And to the Dev community for making that happen, big up yuself!

I think it might have something to do with how easy it is to get your code compatible with iOS and the system being able to handle it.. The apps prob crash because the system is crap but I don't really know.. all I know from experience is that iPhones are cheap, boring to use, and ios has a LOT of issues..
Apple just likes to make it as cheap as they can and release it for a high price and people buy it because they hear about this "wonderful apple stuff"

I, too, would expect iOS apps to be far more stable, but it's nice to be wrong about that

very interesting article, never would have though of that, considering how Apple is so arrogant and control freak is about their "quality"

Something tells me its not..... I really can't go by that :/ I think its real, but I don't have a iPhone xD
I have seen myself how unstable it is.. so that is pretty good evidence that this article is right.

I've had both iOS and andriod phones. In my opinion Andriod is far superior then iOS and Im glad there is research done now backing this up. The general public just likes simple and pretty so thats why iOS has a better repution but its just a matter of time as Andriod starts to shine in ICS.

In fairness, it does sound a bit fanboy to me. You can't really measure this in a real-world situation unless every single app crash is reported, and the reasons why it crashed was then analysed.
I root for Android (see what I did there?), but I'd rather something I believed over something I'd like.

I'm not a fanboy or anything iPhones tend to crash a lot when the os doesn't kill off background apps. Apps usually crash at the start up screen so many people won't be able to notice it. I'm currently using an iPhone 3GS since my galaxy s is broken.

Intriguing and believable but I wold also like to see more in depth information about which apps crash and what leads to a crash. Compatibility with a new OS version is part of the equation.
What I take from this is that all code monkeys are human and nothing is perfect. Apple's line about how iOS 'just works,' is where they wants us to believe that they are better than human and are not prone to mistakes.
Believe what you will.

That's why exposure like this is good. Even if the report said ios was even with android in crashes or even if it said it had less app crashes, it helps to educate that ios does have problems just like everything else and that people who purchased ios because it didn't have bugs or problems like android should reconsider their stance. For many people "it just works" is a major selling point for apple, and its wrong.

What exposure?
What I find most surprising is that the tech media has not picked up on this story that was started on Forbes.com. I don't see it mentioned on engadget, macrumors, not even cnet. Yet the verizon galaxy nexus not receiving support has been reported everywhere only to be debunked an hour later.
I'm beginning to really think that the media has a pro-Apple bias.

Perhaps. Thus far it has been easy to dismiss and criticize Android on so many levels. i.e. -It's 'fragmented' and no minimum hardware specs means one sees the 'incompatible with your device' message. It has been easy to publish mal-ware and other junk on the Android market (Bouncer is long overdue).
These and other reasons can lead journalists and others who can only focus on the present to see Android as unorganized.

I remember watching a morning show on either CBS or NBC(I can't quite remember) one morning where they were doing a tech review.
the tech reviewer was talking to the anchor about just coming out(at the time) Galaxy Nexus and the new Android OS, ICS.
10 seconds into the review the anchor cuts the reviewer off, starts talking about his iPhone and the Apple store down the street from the studio, and the conversation became about Apple from then on.
no other mention of Android products after that.
This is how the media is and has been playing it for sometime.
it's been blasted, talked about everywhere in the media, and basically jammed down our throats that the iPhone just works and (basically) nothing else matters.
it's sad and funny at the same time since even without media support Android has gained the bigger market share.

after all those applers bragging with their iphones, im happy to read that ...
iphone this, iphone that... Take that M*t*e*f*c*e*s

Reasons Not to buy an iPhone

So in what ways you think than Android is better than IOS
Heres what i got
iPhones have:
Smaller screens
Slower Data Speeds
Lower Durability
Slower prosseser
Very Boring UI

No download support from Browser
No themes/Launcher (Unless its Jailbroken)
Anything to add here?

UI, and Screens are just your opinions. not really facts; not nececarilly a bad thing. the processor of the 4s isnt slow, but its pointless in the iphone. other than that im with you! i could never use a screen that small lol

I honestly think IOS is better and would get one for the wife if it was on T-Mobile. I can manage with Android since it allows me to do a little more than I would be able to if I had an IOS device. WHat I like about IOS is the apps are of much higher quality.
For someone like my wife the iphone would be better. She complains about the random reboots, apps crashing and some of the other annoyances that come with Android so I know she would love the iphone.

iOS is smoother than Android and handles most things better. Android wasn't meant to have a touch interface since it was first made to compete with Blackberry and other systems that used a trackball/keyboard rather than a touchscreen slate. So as a result, they didn't bother starting from scratch and decided to just implement touchscreen onto their existing revisions... Not saying Android is bad by any means, but there are things that iOS does properly that Android does not. For example, the touch delay that exists in every Android device will most likely never be solved due to the architecture of the OS - to see this delay, go play Fruit Ninja or something and you'll notice that the sword trail is always lagging behind your finger and is never directly under your finger while you're moving.
However, I despise Apple with a passion. Their products are great, but they are also immensely overpriced and restrictive. They market their products in a dishonest way to trick the common consumer into thinking that it's the greatest thing on the planet. However, they do tend to take care of their customers in terms of updates, unlike Android because even the iPhone 3GS got their latest iOS 5 update while we're still waiting for an ICS update.

+1. Example of smoothness - open web browser in both iPhone and a high end android phone like amaze, open a webpage and trying scrolling - you will see iPhone is significantly smoother than amaze. Any improvements in hardware (you can have quad core processor and a 4 gb of ram) won't make up for a not-so-good architecture. OS update is another big issue with all android manufacturers. If I buy a phone on a 2 year contract, I should get updates for 2 years. Apple provides updates for older devices as long as old hardware can handle it and look at the android world - mytouch4g slide is more than capable of running ICS but HTC/TMO won't provide update and indirectly force customers to buy new device with little to no hardware improvement long before their contract is over. Having said that, I still like my amaze for a couple extra features and data service that tmo provides.

Swapping back and forth between OSes.

First of all, I'm a die hard WP7 user through and through. Social interaction, stability, and quick gaming, as well as a good ecosystem of interconnected services are what I'm after in a phone, and so it's the ideal option for me. That said, I try to be as fair as possible in my judgment of other devices. I recently picked up a Nokia N9 and an Xperia play as alternate phones to my Lumia 800 (which has since been upgraded to the Lumia 900) for comparison purposes. The first thing I tested on these two devices, since it's the one thing I miss on WP7, is emulation. Honestly, despite the perfect controls on the xperia, I kept going back to the more "pure" Linux experience of meego for emulation. This was due primarily to the app emumaster which has all your basic emulators cooked into one app with great developer support and outstanding framework. The xperia's controls are awesome, but the low quality of the ps1 emulators I could find left a lot to be desired. The feature that Android really stole the show with, was the market. I left android October of 2010 for the most part aside from picking up random great deals on Craigslist. I most recently tried the Gnex, and it seemed to have a lot of the issues that put me on the prowl in the first place still, so I was not smitten. However, the progression of the app market is phenomenal, a far cry from the doldrum mess that I was forced to search through in my time with android. The new Google Play point is great and feels a lot less like a beta test than it did before. While I'll always prefer WP7's dynamic UI, I much preferred Meego's to android's. There are no "official" widgets yet, but even without, the three home screens have all the info you need and the lock screen is great. It offers a, "sleeping clock" feature where even when the phone is asleep, the clock is still displayed, as well as your notifications. After double tapping on that, you have more specific notifications over a background pic of your choosing, you can swipe on any of these to open the app direct, or just swipe the whole homescreen off which leads to the homescreens, one has all your apps complete with folders. The next, shows all the apps you have currently running. True multi-tasking an astonishing 19 apps and no real hiccups. Amazing. Then, there's your notifications tab, it keeps your notifications as well as a list of your social network mews feed on hand. Everything just feels easy and intuitive. Android, sadly, still felt pretty much the same, I guess if it's not broke, don't fix it, but there's better UI options. Overall, the xperia Play got the least play, not because it's a bad device, but it's just not what I need. The N9 is great, but suffers some of the same issues android does. It is, however, a good meeting point between android and WP7 and was abandoned far too early. Neither pulled me from WP7, but unfortunately, I now try to double-tap my 900 to unlock it.

Not sure what the point of this post is.
E; oh, text wall. It looks like copying it misconstrued my formatting.

That should've stuck with Meego. That would've been a real 4th OS.
Nokia can't shine with Wp7.

The Lumia 900 seems to be doing quite well for itself, replacing the iPhone as ATT's hero device. I can't wait to see what the 610 does in India.

I read somewhere that at&t associates doin a disservice for customers. It seems iPhone is still the hero device, salespeople still pushing the iPhone and not giving the lumia900 a chance.

They sell what they know, unfortunately most att reps know little about phones.

Wow for them just to say that I will say one thing well a couple.
1st smart phone - w as iPhone 3GS 16gb. Loved it..... When I had it.
2 nd smart phone - htc hd7. Was okay not many apps. Hated metro tiles.
3rd smart phone -galaxy s2 i9100- LOVE IT MORE THEN ANYTHING. Awesome phone. Went to go get a iPhone 4s . But I thought and my friend said u have to try andriod. Now he was right not goin to any other Os ever again.
For her to say iPhone as a high end device is funny.
