Games that work on my A2 are :
Angry Birds Space
Big Win Baseball
Continuity 2

Let me try them, I have it already installed. Mine is a new phone, 1 week old
if u want to use ur phone the way it came then buy it but if u want to customize for better performence i.e cm7 or cm9 or any kernel tweak then dont buy because most of the customization need bootloader to be unlocked which is not possible till date

GTA3 works flawlessly. Trying out Shadowgun. Will test out some 1080p, i have some anime 1080 mkvs. Will let you know in sometime
Edit: Shadowgun is smooth like butter.
Edit2: 1080p plays like silk . Played it back n forth, from random timings, left n right, it was just fast.
Details of the 1080p video 1920x1080
H.264/AVC
24fps,
Bitrate 5579kbps/151kbps (Video/Audio)
Hope that helped. And yeah, thanks, i could get to know how awesome it plays in my A2

wow.. thts awesome.. and the video bitrate is also high...tht means this phone can handle any video smoothly.. wow.. and its playing games too... thts really awesome... and dude.. by the way.. one more question.. have u rooted ur phone and then have tested all the games or have u purchased all of it.. if rooted then which firmware r u running.. and if purchased then good going.. thnks.. me being a game developer, i recommend paying for the games which u like.. as tht is our bread and butter and incase if u r using patched version then test all but do buy which u really like a lot and play often.. thnks a lot for the help man..
Rooting is easy.. you can find it in the Atrix 2 Android Development section, it only takes about 20-25 minutes.. you have to be on 2.3.6 tho after you have done rooting you can download Blackmart Alpha and there is where you can find almost every app for free including games. Hope that helped a bit, By the way Atrix 2 is a good phone for gaming PowerVR SGX540 plays every game smooth, you can even use "Milestone overclock" which overclocks the phone to 1200mhz or to 1122mhz if you are not stable with the 1200mhz one. It even overclock the GPU to 384mhz.. I have played N.O.V.A 3 it runs flawlessly no lag, even played online, it plays it smooth. I have my Atrix 2 for 2 months already and so far so good, if you're gonna buy an Atrix 2 I recommend you to not buy the AT&T one. Once again, I hope it helped a bit.

thnks buddy..
Just chiming in here as another ATRIX 2 user... I'm rooted, CWM, custom rom, overclocked, ram speed and netspeed tweaks, as well as radio mod running. I have the following games running smoothly:
9mm HD
Air Attack HD
Angry Birds
Baseball Superstars II
Cogs
Contract Killer
Death Rally
Death Worm
FL Commando
Flick Golf
Guerrilla Bob
Inertia HD
Jewels Star
Killer Bean Unleashed
Mini Motor Racing
Muffin Knight
Oscura
Osmosis HD
Pinball Arcade
Raging Thunder
Reckless Getaway
Reckless Racing
Roboto
RS 2012
Shadowgun
Strikefleet
Super K.O. Boxing
Wind-up Knight
Words With Friends
World of Goo
All these games run fluidly and very nice in appearance. I've tried out many of the HD games without issue. So, you should take comfort in the fact that this phone can handle a lot of games. The only thing that's disappointing, that I have found, if that games designed to run on Tegra are NOT compatible with the MB865. But, I believe that there are workarounds for this as well...

I'm not sure about using Chainfire, though I've read here and there about it. Not too familiar with it, so I can't really attest that it will or will not work with our phone. What I have heard though, is changing the way the phone is 'displayed' to Moto servers and so forth. For example: there is a way to "fool" servers and perhaps even Play Store to "read" the phone as a different one: i.e. With Atrix 2 changing it to be "seen" as a SGS2 or other device. I'm not entirely clear on how this is done, but it may be a workaround for the Tegra incompatibility with the ATRIX 2. I'll see if I can scour the forum to find more info on this, as I have seen it discussed here before...

ohkkk .. do share ur research.. hehe..thnks man..
is Monopoly working for anyone? That is the only game which i couldn't download from EA Redemption. It says it needs some 20MB stuff, but then when downloading starts it shows 'downloading 0/0' instead of 'downloading 0/20'.
Anyone got it working fine?
Hello guys i am new to XDA and i have just a question in mind......
Before purchasing my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 i saw some gaming reviews as i am a gamer and games like Dead Trigger [My Fav.] and MC4 did not lag at all but when i finally purchased it Dead Trigger showed noticeable but negligible lag. I did not expect lag from this! Am i the only one? Need help guys
Info:-
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P3100
Rooted
No custom ROM installed!
All dead?
All dead?
The graphic really lagging. So just play with Note
No lag at all with mine.
Even when I was in stock 4.0.3 I used to play MC4 and Deadtrigger just fine. The auto-graphic was set to low, but I manually changed to high and also didn't have any problem with lag.

Our SGT2 7.0's family tab doesn't "lag" unless if I'm changing guns. Its the same with my iPad
(All on High graphics setting). The zombie in the black suit/jacket spits out a ball with blood on the iPad version whereas its only blood on Android.
It was smooth at low graphics!

It was though smooth on low graphics but i want to play with high graphics. Will installing a custom ROM help me?
The lag is negligible but it irritates me
If i had a good pocket i could get a Note for me

Custom Roms do help but have you tried Samsung's 4.1.2 yet? I don't have negligible lags on it but changing guns.
You should have gotten the Nexus 7, its round about the same price but a lot more fragile.
Doesn't have negligible lags even while changing guns unless graphics is on Tegra 3 settings (pity)

If you're willing to avoide your warranty, try this:
CyanogenMOD
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Tilapia_Info
AOKP
http://aokp.co/devices/tilapia
Most reliable custom roms of all
Than install a custom kernel and overclock
Games like asphalt 8, vector, Riptide gp2 are not running smooth
I updated to the latest firmware but still game are getting slow and laggy compared to other phones like galaxy note neo3........
Is this a problem in my phone? Or something else?
I bought the $300 model (2.3 Ghz and 4 gb ram)
No,I am not using any battery saving app. No apps are running in background. Debugging mode is disabled. No space issue.I have 70% of space remaining.I am playing asphalt 8 in single mode.
I think maybe it can be software problem.
