Free or not. Android obviously. What are the best (or your favorite Android Games)?
One of my favourite games is Speedx 3D. If you have red-green-glasses it will be in 3D (but haven't tested yet)
Can knockdown at the minute...great for stress relief.
It really depends on what games you like, or if you play games on your phone at all. For me, having 2 consoles and a powerful gaming pc at home results in me not interested in mobile games at all.
I did own Wordsmith, Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds briefly but uninstalled all of them later.
Reckless racing (top-down 3d racer), angry birds, glow hockey, and hex defense (tower defense) are the only games I've found interesting on android.
Jetcar stunts if the idea of drifting in a jetcar on platforms in the sky sounds fun try the lite or the full at $2.99 also the best games for high end devices is on gameloft in the android section not the android market. But for free angry birds and stupid zombies are the best imo happy gaming

I have some games, just to try out the gaming experience on the tablet. Never been a heavy gamer, but I had played few extensively (Ghost Recon, Need4Speed, Max Payne)...
So, yeah, Max Payne - installed it, seems pretty nice! Hard though, as i am not yet used to touchscreen based playing. But good old Max rox
Yeah, Riptide's fun.
I'm not really shooters' fan, so haven't tried Shadowgun.
In my apps thread I've included games, but let me just copy it there, as there in fact should be a separate games thread
Favourite(?) games:
- Heroes Call THD (Edit 15.07.2012: the developer has responded to my email and was kind enough to offer me gems for free after my loss of data; btw, linking to Facebook account can help you move progress between many devices, this way I got back my progress from the iPad ); Broken Sword: Director's Cut; GTA III; Angry Birds (Space and earlier)
- I'm about to try more than few clicks in some games that seem promising: Siegecraft THD, Grabatron, Six Guns, Wind-up Knight
- some classics: TrialX2 (Winter), Cut the Rope HD, Robo Defense (quite big on this screen, but still cool)
Not really tablet or even infinity specific, but i love Osmos and Gyro.
Simple, yet addictive.

I see that you liked my suggestion of Grabatron lol. That game is pretty fun.
I also updated the OP, it has a list of some games now.

Yeah, I told you I liked it from the very beginning! Forgot it was you, n1.
You can add Broken Sword: Director's Cut to the list, it's a great classic revived, although I liked it better in lower res (had it on iPad), as you can see some pixels on FHD.. but, on the other hand, this adds this retro style to it.
Siegecraft THD

Do many games support keyboard controls? My PC's PSU is awaiting replacement or I'd try some splashtop (or whatever asus calls it) gaming with steam. Touchscreen controls never exactly wowed me, save for casual or top down strategy like tower defense, and accelerometer controls have just never wowed me at all.

I think some do actually. I think GTA III supports keyboards, I also think that CS Portable might work too.
Even though I've got a bunch of other THD/marketplace games, I find myself playing emulators more often than official android developed games!
My favorite is yongzh's N64oid. Runs better than Mupen64 Plus AE in my opinion, and all the games I have tried have been very smooth on the infinity. Super Smash Bros, Star Fox, Animal Crossing, Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask, Kirby, Mario Kart, etc, etc all run near-perfect, emulate at native resolution, and look amazing on the TF700. Add an HD texture pack (ex: 1 2 3) and it the graphic quality will rival or surpass most new android games!

Wow I didn't even know people made full re-texture packs. That's actually quite cool! I'll be putting some of those in N64oid, that was one thing I didn't like about playing emulators, the textures look awful when stretched to 1080p.
I know majority here probably wants some 3d and heavy graphics games list, but I simply love simple and addictive games.
New star on my list: Auralux. Crazy!

Just tried dijipi's pack for OOT and super smash bros HD pack, both working great on N64oid, doesn't seem to slow it down at all!
Here are all available (WIP or Complete) texture packs for N64.
