AFLADKFADKL!!!!
Yes. I'm... insanely happy and I don't know why.
I am quite literally a Square Enix Fanboy and I am proud of it.
Long story short, Crystal Defenders is on the market! Just came within an hour ago!

Whoa. 7 bucks. Nice lol. I'll wait to hear a little more about it, looks awesome though

Doesn't mean you should 1 star them.

I don't see this game on the android market

Yes it does. It isn't right for my android device. If they fix it I will adjust rating. Seems perfectly fair to me.

Because they have no way to block it from showing up on the Market to a crippled Tablet running Froyo. 1 star the Android market for not allowing them to block your device completely. 1 star Samsung for probably never giving you Honeycomb which supports the "xlargescreen" in the Manifest.
The Android market is targeted at phones. Not tablets.
You know all that talk about fragmentation? Galaxy Tab (not a real tablet) users and HTC Wildfire (no GPU) users that 1 star apps because of their crippled phones screw with the ratings, thus making the fragmentation idea that developers have keeping them from developing for Android.

Yeah games are also about gameplay too. One-starring something because it doesn't work in the first place is not a proper review.
People affected should not even click on the ratings. They should email straight to the developer for support.

I remember playing this game on my iPod classic a few years back, thanks for the heads up

As a developer (one free game in the market so far) and an avid Android user I must say I'm inclined to side with Ashvsaod. One star is a bit harsh - maybe 2 or 3 tops is more suitable but I understand him nevertheless.
As a developer, if you can't make it work, you should at least point out in the description that it doesn't work with tabs, period. Even more so in a 7 bucks game!
But to be honest I don't think it's that hard to make it work either. My game supports 2.1 and up and it works full screen on the tab (there was basically one programmer working on it for a few months in his spare time - so it ain't the complicated). Even without the xlarge tags you can still query the screen size in the code and make adjustment. I don't think it's justified to blame the platform for their inability to make it work.
But that's besides the point. The main point is that ff a damn expensive app doesn't work on Tabs (which are a rapidly growing chunk of the android sales) it should be mentioned clearly.

Nice to see some bigger developers pushing out games for Android for once and not sticking with the iStuff

The ratings and comments should be used for reviews not bug reports.

I bought it for the sole fact that I can hope to see more, and hopefully original games from them on Android!

Nonsense, handling screen scaling is _trivial_ under android and has been since 1.6. Absolute sizing is just lazy iPhone-like development. Failing to take into account the best practices of the platform if precisely what low-star scores are for.

I suppose this is valid. However, I opt to contact the developer first before lamenting in a Reviews section that not a lot of them may care to review due to emotionally charged ratings anyway.
I've had a ton of success by contacting the devs. They're usually so courteous and modest, as well as thankful that I actually advised them of a bug as opposed to just leaving negative feedback. I've left only a few legit 1 stars before and retracted emotionally charged ratings in lieu of contacting the developer. So far, no one has ever turned me down. And I admit that a couple of bug reports were sent with an admittedly douchy tone as well lol

Huh?
This game seems pretty bad.
Terrible reviews from critics:
http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/crystal-defenders
http://www.metacritic.com/game/wii/crystal-defenders-r1
http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/crystal-defenders
Average review of 60-ish percent.
Square Enix is great, but this game seems awful. And it's over $7.
Am I missing something?

seems the game is quite bad.........

Think it would make more sense to compare it the mobile version of the game on a similar platform. Like the version on iPhone: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/crystal-defenders/id300186798?mt=8
It has 4 stars there as rated by users which I believe is more telling than reviews of the game on a home console. I believe the attitudes of users playing this game on a phone would make more sense than the attitudes of people that are playing a mobile game on a home console.

People expect more of a console game than of a mobile game?
(Those reviews are for 360, PS3 and Wii ports of an iphone game - of course they don't get fantastic scores!)

I played it on the Wii and did not enjoy it much, but yea, I guess it could be good on a mobile platform.

Best graphics on a game?

I just bought my Amaze and I'm looking to find a game with the best graphics to see what this bad boy can do. Any suggestions on games I should buy?

Dead Space is outstanding. The best I've seen.

Any other games?

Dgunners sp, shadowgun, riptide gp, 9mm. Go look at tegra zone for a bigger list.

What OS are you guys talking about? Because I can't find Dead Space game on the Android Market

It's actually an iPhone game. But I think it's supposed to be coming out for Android.

Dead Space looks great (google dead space android for it), Dungeon Defenders, and Shadowgun as well.

Unless Nokia puts out worthy hardware, that exclusivity is going harm the Dead Space developer. Nokia has nothing worth having at this point.

Dead space is very detail game and its on android just google it its not on the market so expect warez sites and modern combat 2 is a good looking game but u can wait to number 3 to come out for Android which I hope is very soon !!!! Um blood and.glory from glu mobile is awesome and very detailed its on the market order of.chaos is another beautiful game from game loft which u.can download from the market and ummmmm samurai 2 : vengence its a tegra game but there's a non tegra modded version on a site just search it up well there u go happy gaming

Is it now? Can I have your source? I've heard (and seen) plenty of talk of it coming to iOS, but never WP7—and certainly not ONLY to WP7. Where's your source? I googled and saw a few articles about it coming to iOS, but not a word about WP7. Did you honestly just make that up? I think you did. Source please.

I've looked and can't find DS for Android for sale anywhere online. One link says it's exclusive to the EA's Flexion store but that store is a no-go. Everywhere else is piracy.

That is your only option to get it sadly

I'm going to buy an Android soon...don't own one yet. And I thought I may find some good recommendations on this thread. So far, no luck. Anyone got more suggestions?

I forgot a comma between wp7 and Nokia. It will only be coming to Nokia wp7 devices, not those by other OEMs.

Alphast 6 on IP4

Shadowgun and dead space

Not exactly. If it isn't available legally, it doesn't exist. That's how I look at it. The devs deserve their reward for their hard labor. I won't be one who insults them and smacks them in the face by using pirated goods. The iOS version is the only one. And I have that one.

Hey Mr. White Knight, how are you today? Thank god we don't have any criminals in our world, hey? Isn't that fantastic! After all, anyone breaking the law simply does not exist!
Is it considered stealing from a developer when the developer didn't release it for your device? I mean, of course it is, but on the other side of things, the community simply did some of the work for them! Or, wait... does that mean the community doesn't exist? Do we even exist?
Mind blown.

I loved this game as a kid, had it on the megadrive, always got stuck on CLLD
I don't see the point of this being expensive though, it's not a long game, graphics although remastered are still blocky (In relation to other mega-drive/pc/amiga games) and they could have included the sequel released for sega cd with it.

Hi. My first post on here, but trust me, i was stalking this site for two years now.
Hello everyone, and lets get it straight. When I've noticed Another World title, i couldn't believe it, but here we are. The game that changed my childhood forever. Now on Android.

Why does this thread exist? It's so annoying when people so need to be praised they start threads about things they had absolutely zero part in making. Especially before said thing is even out! Wow.
Oh, and the other poster was right...you don't even have the name right. At least try and ride on the coattails of others' success correctly. Soooo can't wait for your uber review :silly::silly:bet it will be mega super awesome.
