Best eye candy game? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Just got my S3 yesterday. I am already rocking CleanRom and CleanKernel on my phone and I am wondering what would be great game to showcase the gorgeous hd screen on this phone and all the processing power?
Thanks.

Good question. I too am looking for a game to see if my S3 can handle the awesomeness. Currently, the only game fun enough to play is Jetpack Joyride.. Haha. Good luck. Ill check back to see if anyone else has any other opinions.

I just picked up Gears & Guts today and i have to say, it is pretty damn entertaining. Definitely a fun take on the zombie genre.

How are you playing jetpack joyride? I can't find it anywhere.

I am loving Sega's Virtua Tennis. It looks great and is really fun to play. If anyone has the game or plans on buying it, make sure to go into the settings and change the default controls to arcade. Makes the game much better to play with the on screen buttons and joystick then the swiping and touch controls.

Dead trigger is awesome, played street fighter 4hd, once threw onlive those games are awesome.shadowgun is also ok.

Dead Trigger with the Tegra graphics enabled is pretty hard to beat for visual quality, imho.

I've been meaning to purchase NOVA 3 for the last month but there are bad reviews for it by GSIII users. It always seems like Gameloft games receive quite a few negative ratings for our phones.

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.

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.

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!

++1. I agree
Some people prefer to play a game that takes more skill than spraying with your p90 and building killstreaks, a game where aim is important ... not all games are meant to be realistic. Halo is a much stronger and balanced competitive game than cod will ever be.

Angry Birds Space
Osmos
Words with Friends
World of Goo
Not a big gamer (not now at least, it comes in phases) but osmos and world of goo are highly recommended (i lucked out and got them for the 49 cent promo thing with the Play Store roll-out).. usually just some angry birds to pass time, and WWF for playing with some words with friends...
official Temple Run for Android very recently released! Is awesome but still buggy so 4/5.

[APP REVIEWS] Temple Run

Ok so recently temple run was released on the awesome android play store, but are we still happy or are we bored of it? well im gonna do this app review to show you pros and cons...
PROs
. The Game has stunning Graphics even on a single core 1.0 Ghz device (Nexus s)
. This Sort of game is not the first of it's kind but defiantly the best!
CONs
. The Graphics being 3d give a slight bit of lag on lower end devices but a high end device such as nexus s gives amazing improvment
. Multiplayer version should come where two players are running from the evil temple monkeys
Other than that i Love the game and Rate it a 4.5/5
Simply cause i think they should add more modes
Awesome game.

It did when it was released at least (Gameloft tends to **** up big time in updates) but I've heard nothing but negative things regarding the game.

Really? It bugged the **** out of me to be honest. The touch pad controls were way too jumpy to get a good shot off and I've only been able to play with auto-aim enabled (not why I bought a gaming phone)
Nova 3 also had abysmal touch pad control and required auto-aim IMO whereas Nova 2 got it perfect (as perfect as touch pad will ever be for me, I favor analog style).
Really? It bugged the **** out of me to be honest. The touch pad controls were way too jumpy to get a good shot off and I've only been able to play with auto-aim enabled (not why I bought a gaming phone).
I must add I've never expected XP's touchpads to be a substitute for real joysticks... IMO they work just OK in some games, and very poorly in other games.
I can live with that, but there is other thing that bugs me.. maybe it's for another thread but... I find Max Payne a shockingly disappointing game. I'm just at the beginning but...it's the whole game like this? Move from room to room, shoot some bad guys, advance the story a little bit, move to another room. Gosh this is boring. I will admit this is my first experience ever with the franchise so I did not know what exactly to expect. Bought it basically on hype and because it's made by R*, who made my beloved GTA 3.
Also how long is it? I'm not sure I won't be bored to tears mid-way although with these kinds of games (kinda movie-like experiences) I usually try to persevere and finish them. Sorry for derailing the thread.
Oh its completely about the story, the gameplay doesn't hold up particularly well and the concept of the game has been expanded upon so much over the years that its almost not worth a retread unless you are compelled to for nostalgia's sake. Max Payne 2 is actually a pretty great game even by today's standards but the first game feels very very old.

Ugh... thanks for that. Guess I still got 9mm with better graphics, better controls and online play... so I don't really have to be disappointed.
...at any rate, Gangstar Rio is actually kinda dope! Same for Virtua Tennis. I really want NOVA 3, but I'm debating whether I wanna put up with any more of Gameloft hogging space off our phones as "data".
I bought NOVA without realising it takes up 17mb data. I cant even play these games really now. I think I'm gonna go ahead and root one day

Using ZergRush method, it will either work and root, or won't. In doing so, data, contacts and anything else won't be affected either way.
Root gives you the power to knacker your phone but if you're not an idiot and don't go deleting important system processes, you're safe.
