So I've had my phone for a couple weeks now, I was hearing all this buzz about how awesome Android is now and how far it's come so I just took the plunge. The phone has been fun to use and explore as far as widgets are concerned etc... but if I would ever make this my full time device it would have to do everything that my other phone (iPhone4) does. This brings me to the games... so far on the market all I've seen are pretty shoddy looking atari or nintendo looking games, where are all the graphically intensive and/or beautifully designed games in the market? How do I find games that actually take advantage of the GPU in my phone (Galaxy S)?
Gameloft has bunch of 3D games like Avatar and Assiasin's Creed for Android on their website, I can't post links so just google it or go to Gameloft.com and go to their Android section.
Also, emulators

Why don't you go buy a dumb flip phone and supplement it with a PDA? Oh, maybe because you want one device to do multiple things? Imagine that. With phones like the Epic out, phones are starting to pack some pretty nice GPUs - you shouldn't dismiss gaming just like that.
To the OP: Check out Gameloft's stuff like someone else mentioned, they really are top of the line, but they refused to list their games in the marketplace. SNESoid, NESoid can run SNES/NES games. There's also some decent paid games in the Marketplace, you can usually find a demo or Lite version to try. With more people flocking to Android, more developers will start creating fleshed out games other than Bejweled clones (hopefully).

I wonder why people say garbage like oh get a PSP if you want to play games, Or if you want to use a navigation system get a gps, etc. I for one buy a device so I can do it all with one device. Or else I wouldn't buy it. End of point.
oh if you want a phone buy a land line phone instead it works better??? Logical I think not!

Except Gameloft that begins to bring its Iphone hits to Android, there are few 3D games on our favorite platform.
Few days ago, I played Asphalt 5, that's not a bad game, because Gameloft proposed some free demo versions on its website (not avalaible n the market)
You can also try some good games you can find on the market like Speed forge 3D or Replica Island (not in 3D but a very good game).
At least you can try emulators (gensoid, gameboid...)

Best tool for the job is the simple summary. I for one am glad that the entire market isn't dominated by games.. With all of the porn and sound boards there wouldn't be any actual useful apps left.

Cool video, showed me some games I'd missed.
A question about Gameloft's games; I downloaded Dungeon Hunter, love it!
aTrackDog tells me there's a more up-to-date version than what I have, but I can't access it from the market.
Are their games auto update? Or do I need to do it manually?

You need psx4droid...
And you'll need the bios of the ps and images of the files...
FFVII runs really well (on samsung i9000)
You should try quake3droid if you like FPS games. It's awesome.
I just want to let people know what an awesome app FPse is. If you dont know what it is its a PlayStation 1 emulator. I had tried it out on my previous phone the MyTouch Slide but wasnt very happy with the performance. Using it with my G2x though is like holding a little Playstation in my hand. So far I have beaten Resident Evil Nemesis on it and I'm working on Metal Gear Solid and Road Rash 3D, both of which run beautifully on the G2x. No need for Tegra Zone games on here, I'd rather play full length PS1 games!
Is it comparable to PSXdroid?

i don't know about that last part buddy... i can't WAIT for Galaxy on fire 2 to drop. Played it on my itouch.. sold the itouch.. and i'm missing it bad. very good game with very good graphix. in the meantime the gameloft knock-offs are keeping me fairly entertained. LOL
Where can I get the app and is there **** a bios setup?

Better...just better. Give it a try.
this runs so flawlessly way better than psx4droid
anyone know how to make the l1,r1 and start and select buttons to display in landscape mode?
edit: nevermind I got it
This emulator beats psx4droid hands down.
FPse is much better than psx4droid. The bios os avaliable online just google it. I find emuparadise to be the best rom site around. The only thing with roms on emuparadise is alot of them are .ecm file so u need to unecm them but that software is available on thier site
bios
I need help I couldn't figure out how to use this app I download the Tom's but I can't seem to find the BIOS after extracting can some one give me a link for spyro
It might be better, but for the average user I think the "free" price tag of psxdroid sounds better
The price tag of free Is always good. Its always nice to support our app makers. It keeps them coming back to the android platform.
I tried both and fpse was way more polished. psx4droid only became free when It was pulled from the market.

I paid for psxdroid back when I owned an n1 and only received "updates" that worsened performance each time. Fsck psxdroid, I'm glad the dev got hosed.

The BIOS file is completely separate from ROM files. The same BIOS file is needed for all PS1 ROM files. I'm sure theres a rule against posting links to files like that so just google "scph1001.bin" and you shouldnt have a problem finding it.

i read that some gameloft titles work on the xoom while others dont. anyone know which one works on the transformer? im interested in HAWK and Starfront.
I tried the golf game - no go. Seems to crash trying to play the opening video clip.
I tried The Settlers HD, all I got was a small white screen (like it wasn't scaled up). Although I can hear the music plays just fine in the background.
tried lets golf and it doesnt work on my transformer. Found a posting about xoom and gameloft and it showed what games work, so i tried Spiderman and is working great.

Any gameloft game game that requires u to play online multiplayer wont work because transformer lacks an imei. Thats something the Xoom has that the transformer doesnt. Once someoneakes a framework with am imei it will open up the tramsformer to alot more quality games. A good example would be homerun battle . U cant play it on the transformer due to lack of imei

will do more testing soon
Asphalt 6HD works fine on Transformer 3.1. Bought and downloaded on Gameloft. I had to say I was from India and Other telco provider and it downloaded the APK fine and then an additional 528MB of data.
As for the device, I stated mine was the Acer Iconia A500.
Worth $2.00! Played till 1:30am last night. Too bad Starfront Collision doesn't work on Transformer.
Tried to redownload on Nook Color with CM7, and it says invalid APK..... ;(
I see that gameloft has all their games on sale for 99 cents. I cannot download these games because it grays out the transformer tablet. Is this device not compatible with any of their games?

you are correct. Gameloft sucks.
If you have another android device, buy the game on there then look for a hacked apk. I don't support piracy, which is why I suggest buying it first.
Would one not be able to buy it and download it on one device and then copy the apk to the other device?

Typically no, Gameloft games are protected. I've tried backing up .apks and trying them on various devices and they don't work. It says "not an original .apk" and closes out of the app.
I personally disagree with that mode of thing. If I paid of an App, i should get to play it on any of my devices, understanding the risk of it possibly not preforming correctly.

welcome to the crappy company that is gameloft- the company that makes ace games but makes you pay for them each time you play them eg letsgolf- used to be able to play all the holes having only paid for the game once- now they make you pay to play each hole.
gameloft realised they have some desirable games and have decided to rinse their customers for the privilage of playing them- the main reason why i refuse to give the mofo's any of my hard earned..

Its TF version of Let's Golf different than SGS2? In SGS2 is limited as 1 per energy cell and you can sum 6 energy cells. If you want more, you pay, but energy recovers as 1 cell per hour. Its not great, but its not so bad...
Aside from that I also find bad the offer, since TF can only run 4 games from Gameloft and I don't really know why they don't increase that number since Let's Golf for example can run in many other tablets.

It says compatible, but yeah I don't know if they PLAY controls work. It doesn't make sense to have different versions (only Gameloft does that crap). I had them already anyway, but got Shadowgun.
NFS Hot Pursuit have controls on pad, but not touch stick, only arrows.
About Dead Space - don't know.

Dead Space uses the touchpad only and it works very well actually. If NFS works that means they don't have different versions which is good.

Hi to all,
I recently downloaded a copy of Shadowgun to test before it became available on the Play Store for 49p.
The problem I am having is that the Play Store says I purchased the game and I can't get it to allow me to actually Buy the game (because of the copied version I had).
Please can somebody help me with this issue.

yah i have a verizon play and when i bought nova 2 it doesn't work, i think it needs 2.3.4...jeez! and i can't get a refund for my 50 cent! gah
i didn't have any issue with dead space...
also does anyone know if osmos works with the touch pad?
i bought shadowgun, world of goo, nova 2, and dead space (didn't care for NFS) and i might buy osmos if it works with the play
shadowgun is very impressive though!

I don't think Osmos is Xperia Play optimized.
NOVA 2 is one of those Gameloft titles you have to buy from their WAP Shop to get Xperia Play controls. You're SOL.
The only Gameloft titles you can get from Google Play that support the controls are Modern Combat 3 and I think 9mm. Otherwise you have to go to their WAP Shop.
Osmos doesn't work with plays controls iv got it it's just touch screen greet game though :-D

Try uninstalling if you havent already, then go to your Applications/ manage apps and look for the market (Google Play) under the "All" tab and select clear cache & data, then go back into the market, with no shadowgun installed, and try to buy it again. IT should work then

It seems that the R800x is hosed with certain titles lately unless you have CyanogenMod installed. I had to buy games for my Kindle Fire just in order to use them on my R800x.
