Games that run good on the Galaxy Tab

Ive had andoid devices for a few years now and ive never paid much attention to games. But now that that i have a giant screen and a fast vr chip...
So far ive tried only Angry Birds, which is just awesome on the tab, and Shortyz Crosswords, which i cannot live without.
What plays well at full resolution?

Have you tried Dungeon Hunter? I'm very interested in seeing how that runs on the tab. Unfortunately I do not have a Galaxy Tab yet so I can't help you pick out more games though

games working on the tab - full screen
1) Air control
2) bebbled
3) Homerun battle
4) angry birds
5) vegas
these are the games i play and working well on full screen

real blackjack
solitaire free pack
backgamon free
buble burst free
those run ok

Nice lists, keep em coming!
On a sadder note, gameloft wont let me by any Dungeon Hunter HD - keeps saying both galaxy s ant tab are unsupported. Which is strange because there's a YouTube promo advertising the nd lineup for the tab...

eh, what? Galaxy S unsupported...? What are they drinking? I mean, eh, I actually *have* that thing running (smoothly) on my Galaxy S and I don't just mean the free version, I bought the full game. Seems kinda weird if they now say SGS is unsupported...?

I have it on my Fascinate and it runs great, I was just wondering how it scaled with the tab... disconcerting to hear something like that to say the least.

Anyone knows how to get Storm8 games working on the Tab?
It messes up something in the login procedure with user/password.
Works in fullscreen:
Frodo 64
Zelda Lite
Air Controli Lite
Mahjong Fullscreen but tiles are in the top of the screen in the menu isntead of centering.
Works but NOT Fullscreen:
Pac man chamionship comes in upper left corner
Pong 2/3 size in center
Robo defense 2/3 in center
Speed forge 3d 2/3 in center
Solitaire 2/3 in center
Minesweeper for Android 2/3 in center
Reversi 2/3 in center

m.kongregate.com has a over 100 fullscreen enabled flash games. I've been on it all day.
Thanh God for fullscreen flash!

InfeCCt ftw... can't beloved I never heard of it before today. Now my favorite puzzler for android.

I've been having lots of fun with 'Star Traders RPG'.

Anyone tried the playstation emulator?
Would love to play Final Fantasy VII again.
Tried it myself yesterday and it doesn't seem to be fullscreen. That's to bad :/

Can anyone comment on how Fruit Ninja performs on the Tab??
Thanks.

[Game] Game Dev Story !!!

Hi,
I just want you to take a look at this game.
In this game you have your own game company. You have to develop games (you say which genre, type and name).
The graphics.... Okay forget the graphics, however, this is a great game!!!
The app costs 2 Yang (or what ever), but in the market is a lite version.
BE WARNED: It's a highly addictive game!!!

I played this game for a solid 8 hours straight one night on my iPhone. Glad to see an Android version now!

Yeah the game is super awesome.

yeah.. gets boring after a week

It's a cool game for a day or too, then gets too repetitive. Still I play it from time to time. If they add more features that would give the game a better replay value.

Highly addictive and unique gameplay I would say but it gets boring after the first cycle.

Pretty much, i but i did play it for a full night after trying the demo.
I never got to make my own console tho could never find an engineer.
The game kinda got really easy after a while

To get a engineer you have to max out one person in all the different jobs, level wise.

This one is really a good game!!
I play this for a week and really love this!!!

The pixel art actually adds to the charm of the game. Gameplay is hardly low quality.

I developed 3 consoles and many games...
now I'm just waiting to get a billionaire

This game is awesome. Love the 8-bit graphics! I've developed 3 consoles now, and i got over 2 billion dollars in the bank.

I was hooked on the demo so bought the full game for my wildfire.
The full app doesnt work properly - I cannot see the top bit of the screen (ie the amount of money I have, yet the demo doesnt have this issue).
Any ideas guys?

Thanks for idea - but without onscreen joypad it covers research points by half, with joypad its slightly better...

Full-version bug reports:
1. Amount deducted for payroll is off by a factor of 10. (The popup says 1100 will be deducted, then only 110 is..) I think it might be off in one or two other places like this, too.
2. Something new I did recently output the term "null" at the beginning of a line of text in the popup. I think it was using the Bug Spray when I didn't have very many bugs, but I don't remember for sure.
'Tis quite a great game, though I do have a question:
When a game goes on the market, and the blue bars show up, what does that area mean? Each bar is a week, I get that, but what is the relative height - sales? Then what's the green box overlayed on it?

Got 2 more:
3) When allocating points to a new game, if the number of "free" points goes above 9, there's an extra 1 prepended to the number (so 10 becomes 110, etc)
4) The cost to move to a new place is another off-by-ten: The popup asked me if I wanted to pay 25,000 to move to a new studio, but I only had 7,000. Taking a guess, I selected yes, and the move only cost me 2,500.

And another: "Congratulations! <Game> has sold 500k units!" when the actual number in the status bar is 5,000k. All the congratulations messages of this type are the actual number divided by 10.

This game ROCKS!!!!! Highly addictive.
Although I lost my autosave after 24 years due to my 4 year old son not knowing what he was doing. :-S
So have started a fresh game. :-D

GTA 3 Controls - Can we get this sorted

Ok, so everyone knows its out.
In car
R is drive
L is break/reverse
Triangle is handbrake
O is get out of the car
Square is center camera
X is ?
On Foot
R is sprint
L is jumo
Triangle is ?
Square is center camera
X is shoot
O is enter car
Touchpads
Swipe left/right on left - change radio stations
Swipe left/right on right - change camera angle
What's to start the taxi/ambulance missions? What is it to do drive by's? how do you aim a gun? etc. etc.
Doybule tap the screen is for closgin the map
Also, we all know that HOLDING the screen looks behind you, but is there a better way for us to do this? Cause
A. It's akward
B. what's the point in having contols built into our phone if we have to touch the screen to get basic controls sorted

Totally agree.
Should be like PS2/PSP.

You can also change weapons with the left touchpad.

Anyone figured out how to shot from inside the car?

I don't mind using the touch screen for certain tasks, but the control layout is awkward (it's never been a good point of Rockstar's, check GTA 2 for PSX and you'll be in for a surprise.

Pressing down on the keypad while in a car will sound the horn. Right touch pad can be used to switch weapons. What does up do?

before the controls get fixed don't u think rockstar need to sort out the terrible framerate on xperia play I'm well disapionted ,its a cracking game spend days and nights playing this in my youth but it seems bit more laggy than the original sort it out rockstar

I think they gonna fix everything when they officialy support Xperia Play, I am sure that it's going to happen becouse the controls are already working for it.
But right now it looks like game wasn't graphicly optimised for it at all, if you look at graphics, the randering is wrong and looks ugly, you can see pixels, there's random lag spikes, no shadows, there are no lights on vehicles, and drew distance is wrong, there's lag from raining, there are very small amout of cars in the streets.
Xperia Play can handle it I am sure, they just need to optimise it first.

So lets get on Rockstars nervs And when they are on it once they just can just give us GTA Chinatown Wars to (lets dream)

How did you fair with the mission with the sniper rifle. It seems that I have had trouble using the analogs. I have to rub the analogs a hundred times to aim at someone, as opposed to press left rotate left.

Ill see if I can assign the buttons for other controls, be patient

what would be good if u cam map the buttons like the same as PS2

There's a one of the last missions in Portland and it's called "Bomb Da Base part I and II" first part is from Salvatore and second from 8-ball.
By the way I was aiming with the sniper rifle using original touch controls because the arrows were too sensitive. I passed the mission without any problems.

I'm not so sure Neo.Emu supports the people that made the game. This game app is made by SNK Playmore.
It's more than a simple port of the original game. Xperia Play Optimized, full Play button control, 16:9 support (it really just stretches the image ), old school display scan lines, anti-aliasing, bluetooth multiplayer, etc.
Support your local skateshop. :good: I bought it because I can download it to both of my Android devices and enjoy multiplayer. Not exactly sure it is worth the $6.99, but it is definitely fun. Will post screenshots later if you guys would like.

Wait, this is Xperia Play Optimized? Ohhh will get, I love Metal Slug.

It is so much better to play full ported games then emulators. They run at full speed and with everything intact (sound, graphics, etc)
Not saying emulation is bad (I play with emus most days) but it's use is for games which can't be played natively, for getting a more original feel to a certain game if its changed for the worst in the porting, or for playing your legally owned game copies.
Emulation is mostly looked upon as illegal. This metal slug 3 is an arcade game, who here has a old neo-geo metal slug machine that can legally make a Rom for use with mame or other? Anyone?
Sorry to moan but hate seeing comments like this all the time. We need to support developers or the gaming business go's bust and new games won't be made.

Perhaps this is a sign of more SNK support to come? If we can get that as our definite online fighter... damn... the one piece of leverage my PSVita holds over Xperia Play is gone :\

Works perfectly for me on R800x
Great on Tablet S as well, multiplayer is very smooth, no lag on either device when playing linked. Only complaint on Tablet S is that , when using a DS3, R3/L3 is jump not X

LAGS like hell on my XP running stock 2.3.3 , even after a fresh boot and running Supercharger Super 512hp and engine flush.
Tips?

The game starts like a thunder, but after a few minutes it becomes unplayable...
THE LAG IS TERRIBLE!!!
We need an update right now to fix it, many of us love this game... And $6.99 was really expensive for a very laggy game!!!
WHY GOD, WHYYY!!! :-(

same with above . . . .become laggy after few minutes play . . .any suggest ??

Awsome its a great game

I can confirm that too. It starts very fast but after five minutes of playing it starts lagging a lot, becomes unplayable

at what point does it start lagging for you guys? Boss battle?
I had problems playing several different games when I was running custom ROMs, since flashing OEM 2.3.4 I haven't had any issues.
the latest app update took away the menu sound effects, booo. everything is still smooth for me however.

We spotted this earlier great game. Have tested and everything works D-pad and Fire as well as all the menus. The onscreen controls also vanish when press a hardware button. Made by the same people who did R-Type port, Metal slug port and they always seam to remember the PLAY

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

Since no one really responded with anything back then, I might as well just come back to tell all of you on the fence of getting this, that this game is very well optimized. Good, responsive hardware controls and full-screen resolution for the XP. Plus the soundtrack is awesome! Here's a gameplay vid:

Mame/Neo/Cps Emulators are great but where is the challange. I like and brought these official ports (metal slug too) for 2 reasons. 1) Bluetooth multiplayer 2) a limit on credits. Where is the challange if you can keep shoving fake credits in, it makes these games too easy because you have no real death. Its like cheating and there is no point in that when you are only cheating yourself out of a good game. With metal slug on Emulator i completed in a hour (fun over). On the official port not even half way in and been playing hours worth. At least with emulators like Snes and PSX you have limits as its built in to the game (Saves states are also bad but still mean you have to get past the place your stuck on dying). I am happy to recommend these ports over the emulated way

Original MVS cartridge are 'free play' at will anyway, but you are right about arcade, nothing can beat the 1coin challenge and bt coop option is the best.
My previous bought of metal slug for android was a disapointment, few option, gallery mode, slowness this one seems better optimized. I think save state is a bless to train yourself in the hardest level without crawling again the whole intro + much more freedom to simply save your progress.
My fingers thank autofire as well. I found vsFighters a bit more difficult compare to the arcade because of the controller, xplay paddle is tiny and snk special moves can be tricky.
