Games to play when stressed/depressed? - General Questions and Answers

I know, it's a weird ask.. But I get both of the mentioned things a lot. And a lot of the time, if I don't play guitar, I play games. I need good game suggestions that are casual but addictive/distracting to get my mind away. Can be either free or paid for.
Thanks in advance!

Besides the usual well-known games (Cut the rope, where is my water, etc)
I would recommend 'Music Hero' if you like the guitar hero concept (quite basic, but it lets you play every song in your playlist)
Not so casual, but if you're looking for fun, very humoristic and addictive game- try 'The bard's tale' - it supposed to work fine with your device (but make sure you have at least 3Gb of free storage, because this game is massive!)

Popcap games are good when you wanna kill the time "softly"
Adventure graphic novel game such as "The Last Express" is quite an experience as well. (Ever heard of games like Myth before!?)
Or you can try racing games like Asphalt :good:

- Antistress Bubble Wrap
- Anti-Stress Exercise
- Anti-Stress Tapper
+ some relaxing music

Yes yes I have! I'm not a fan of tower defence or racing games, though. I like puzzle games, and not-too-intense RPGs like 9th Dawn. I enjoyed Osmos alot, too.

If you are not into hardcore RPG then try Black Gate: Inferno by Glu for your RPG simple hack and slash

Try gba games with emulator.
You can find many games there.
Also 72in1 is a good game that gives you video game experience. Not available in Google play

Let me guess...your phone is not a iPhone 4, right? Mine is...and whenever I feel bored, I simply listen to the witticisms of Siri, the virtual phone assistant. In fact I have even jotted down a few of these Siri-isms here - at blog.teks.co.in.
My advice - get an iPhone, and spend ur me-times with Siri. Certainly works for me! :good:

Osmos HD
A really cool game which has pleasing music and available for both Android and iOS is Osmos. It is kind of a sciency-fiction kind of game where you absorb other objects like cells. Sounds a bit weird but it is a good time-waster. It is about one of the only games I have ever played on my phone. It is paid but I think there is a free version to test out.
Here is a link:

Yes and besides that, as if I'm going to spend money on an iPhone. If I had that money I would so go for a higher end Android. I'm not the typical iPhone hater but I just really can't stand the OS.

Try infectonator if you're into zombie games. Its beautifully crafted with pixel art graphics and with tons of replay value. Its very addicting and for sure you'll be hooked for hours. Dominating the world by infecting and turning them to pixel zombies is the best way to relieve stress... and did i mentioned you get to beat the hell out of Justin Bieber on one of the stages? Try it man!

its right there man, on the market.
it's definitely one of the best xperia play-optimized games and one of the best android games on the market overall.
I love the rpg aspect and the rampant action/platforming....very fun
I have yet to try multiplayer so if you grab it post your username!
I bought it yesterday. I have'nt had chance to play it yet. Looks good though!
I can't find it too on my list.. Found it thru searching.. My niece and nephew will like this for sure..

I think it's one of the most impressive android games ever
This game is addicting! It kinda vaguely reminds me of the original mario bros, or the battle mini game on Super Mario Bros 3 as some might remember it as.
My openfeint name is the same as on here..except with a 2 on the end..
I'm loving it too, just like their guerilla bob before..
I love the ninja kitty and the cyclops ability, I dont like the frog and the monkey..
I just bought it and it looks stunning and is certainly addictive!
Is there a way to stick with a character? i'm finding it quite hard or is it just because i'm new?!
Also, seeing as its cross platform, us Play owners must destroy those pesky iphone owners! I love Angry Mob games
It's sad how my ipod can get the game for 0.99 while I have to pay 2.99 for the android version
Anyway, I could go forever using cyclops alone.. Love the bird too...
But for some reason I hate it when my character turns into the bull.. Even though it's the last character..

It just happens for some reason..Angry Birds is free on Android but .99 on iPhone.
I also suspect that this game would be INSANE hard on touch controls, hence the price reduction?

HD Games!

Can you guys recommend some HD games that run good on the skyrocket??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
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:
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
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.

Shadowgun shows off some good graphics and it's similar to Gears of Wars style.

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!

[IDEA] New best android game?

I decided to give mobile platform a try. I worked before alot with java and it shouldnt be a problem. Im going to make start with games since they are way more fun to code than utility apps. Now the first problem would be the whole idea and concept of the game. I was thinking about some sort of sneaking game where you have to remain silent(not moving too fast), avoid lights and maybe security cameras. This would have traps along the way as well. Developing levels is not easy but this sort of game will just not work on score.
That's my idea. Now...tell me your ideas about a new game concept. The more ideas I get the better it is.
That sounds just like Metal Gear

And since theres no Metal Gear for Android, (besides fpse), I say go for it.
Gameloft has made a career out of offering us games that the original devs for whatever reason don't offer us on Android.
**note: I love Gameloft games, they are at least high quality knock offs of popular games.
something like transformers where player can become robot and car both and fight with other robot (maybe via internet too)

Hello, i have ideas to several games, all of them multiplayer.
Multiplayer via wifi or data connection.
I think they can be very successful, something Android havent seen yet.
But i dont think they can be made with one dev only.
And im not a dev.
That would mean having a server...

What about a tower defense where you actually have the towers already made but must place proper soldiers in them like archers, mages and healers. Why healers? Because you also get shot and die :d

Most addictive android games?

Are there any really addictive games that aren't obvious (aka on the google play top free)
SvZ
Samurai Vs. Zombies defense is the only game I have been addicted to. Other games just don't cut it for me. I want a good platformer. This game I found worth it though because you get to level up and actually have to strategize instead of throw birds at things or guess what people are drawing. How boring!

Have you tried the Counter Strike apk? Pretty good FPS and it's free in the android apps thread.
Speedx is nice but i think Supersonic is better.
Guns'n'Glory is very addictive to me.
I play a game called "Orbital".
Its the most addictive game for me for now
Spirit HD is also great.. try it out!!

The game I play the most is called R-Type its very hard but I love it.

Also wanted to add that Cubixx is the free game this week. I would definitely recommend it; it's a Qix style game in 3D and I really enjoyed my time with it and would recommend it at the ~$3.00 price tag it usually retails for. The 3D becomes a play mechanic as the cube has 6 different sides that can all be cleared. I have a review of it somewhere in the original playstation mobile thread if anyone cares to look for it. My largest complaint was that there was an updated version released on PS3 called Cubixx HD a while back that had a lot of extra modes and I think the replay value would have skyrocketed with them included.
Just wanted to add that a music creation game called Still Life was also released today and if I remember correctly it retails for something like 49 cents and looked pretty neat. Haven't picked it up yet since I'm considering getting back in to Vendetta Online which is something of a full time job.

You cant back up the data from the app PSM or you will get an error message and force close on restore but if you install the PSM app normally and sign in the games will still be installed as they get installed to SD. All PSM game data will be in Android>data>com.psstore folder (or something named Like that).
If wipe these games you can always redownload (even if free promo has stopped) as will save the purchases (even if free) in your downloads tab as they will be added to your PSN account.

Good news, I have been talking to Thomas Hopper, the developer behind this game, Radiant Flux, and other PSM titles. He has two PSM game projects in the works, Super Brain Eater and toEND. Super Brain Eater is an arcade game in the vein of oldschool classics like pac-man. toEND is a retro action platformer. He makes some good games. Here is a gameplay video of Super Brain Eater in a very very basic alpha form, work just began on this project. Give this guy some views, he deserves it.
Good finds! I'm not a big fan of the whole retro-style that T.A.C.S. goes for but it's always good to get a jump on news like this.
