Posted this into the android apps section but got quickly put to the second page so here it is in the G2 section. There is a Tiny Wings clone available now called Dillo Hills. It has a couple more features than tiny wings, for instance the ability to change your character (default is an armadillo), change the graphics between low, medium and high, and the ability to glide for a short while.
There is a paid and a free version. As far as i can tell the free version just wont let you change characters. Have Fun
Played the free version for like a week now and I loved it. Key word loved. This game is like fruit ninja and those type of games, I can play them for like a week then I just get bored. I like adventure games and games that change and can be beat. Zenonia is probably my favorite phone series. Can't wait for number 3.

Thanks for the heads up! I heard about this game a few weeks ago but it wasn't out yet.
Another thing with this game, its way too hard. When you get to zone 6 it seems you can't go fast enough and your health slowly goes down and the only thing I can do is rush to get through zones so it raises my happiness. I think I may be playing the game wrong, but as hard as I try I can't go faster than the halfway mark on zone 6 and on.

Halo! There needs to be some kind of a Halo game released with the phone. Halo has been such an iconic presence in my generation, that I would say its equivalent to Star Wars of the generation before. I'm surprised that MS isn't bringing it to launch of an important moment of the company.
Equivalent to star wars?!
Haha, get real!
But it would be nice with Halo on wp7 even though Ive never played it.
HALO was my first 3D shooter that was really good, that I played. I actually won it in some competition many years ago. But I never finished it. If I could, lets say, play at home on PC, save game, and then continue on phone -- we know that this is possible -- in HALO, I would buy wp7 device rightaway.
I wouldn't say equivalent to star wars or anywhere close to that. I'd say more like mortal kombat or something or that nature. Halo would be a nice game to add for the fps lovers.
Gears of War > Halo
I think part of Halo's allure is it's story, but honestly I couldn't get past the bad gameplay to find out.
Halo takes mechanics best suited on the PC and puts them into a console, which feels horrible. I prefer the way Gears of War approached the issue, while a mouse & keyboard would probably still feel better, it was at least some thought went into how the controls of the game work on a gamepad.
If you haven't heard already their is some form of Halo game coming out on release day.
No other info as of yet.
But a list of 60+ games to be ready on launch day shows some good dev backbone. Hopefully their is like 600 apps to go with that.

If you're talking about Halo: Waypoint that's not a game, it's some sort of Halo Network program.
A full HALO game with real time XBOX Live multiplay. That would be too much fun!
Reality hits; its not going to happen. Possible but not going to happen.
Plus AT&T users would ruin the fun with their bad network. Imagine all the pauses because of people with slow net speeds.

As long as MS releases some realtime multiplayer games, then I will be happy. MS has stated perhaps by next year (Q1 or Q2).
Did some searching Apple has it now!
NOVA
other multiplayer games
Never really liked touch screen fps games, analogue sticks ain't great for shooters as it is without making them virtual. Think a Halo Wars game would probably suit the format a lot better.
Okay, so I just spent half an hour looking through the Android Market at the top games and apps, and haven't really seen anything that catches my eye!
Now, maybe it's just me, and I'm being a little too fussy, but I really don't seem to be able to find a good, highly addictive long term game.
Current Games - Mark /10:
Doodle Jump - 6

As for interesting apps... I can't find anything :/
Any help and advice would be nice?
Thanks in advance!
I have been searching for that game you are looking for for over a year now and haven''t found anything myself yet.
Gun Bros was fun in the beginning, but Glu Mobile only wants to milk your wallet a bit more (that goes for all of their games, mind you!). All fine with me, but the game strats to drag after a few months of play and becomes tedious. It levels too slowly, or, to put it differently, the weapons are too expensive (and the expensive one do not even live up to expectation). I abandoned it after like three months or so.
I like the ""Choice of ..." series very much -- I'm currently playing Broadsides and Romance. I'm not originally into RPGs, but this is kinda fun. It more or less makes the story more interesting if you have influence on the outcomes, even if it sometimes is clear the difference is minor because the story picks up again the same way it did the last few times. Nice time-waster, though.
Random Mahjong for the sleepless hours (I use it with Screen Filter to dampen the screen brightness a bit, primarily to soothe my eyes since I have it plugged it when I''m in bed anyway).
Flight Control: meh. Fun in the first few levels, but tedious after a while.
Plants vs. Zombies: very funny, like the humor. Have played it on the PC -- great fun -- an enjoy it on the Android platform. Wish I could play it on a bigger screen, though: it wouldn't be the first time I scr**ed up on plant placement.
Virtual City: instant buy. Like it very much, but haven't been playing lately due to real life taking over for a bit. Have the Sandbox Edition installed as well, but haven't played it yet for the same reasons.
Age of Wind: likeable, and fun, but the steering mode annoyed me and I was put to the bottom of the sea very fast. I find the economics unclear and " steep".
Apparatus: reputed to be great fun. Installed, but not played yet.
Dead Space: looked like a winner (oh, the visuals! : D ), but the controls annoyed me supremely. Happily uninstalled.
Guerilla Bob: fun, but not for a the long-term you are apparently looking for. I liked it though, but again, way too short.
Robo Defense: immensely fun, and you can keep experimenting on different lay-outs and tower compositions. Achievements provide that little extra oomph of stimulus to go on and on and on. Had to wrestle myself away from this one for sheer terror of social dysfunction.
Stupid Zombies: fun, and a ''thinker'', but very hard on higher levels, which might be a put-off if you're a casual gamer.
Reckless Getaway: fun, but it turns out I'm a crappy virtual driver (luckily not so in real life -- that doesn't really fit with a motorcycle, now, doesn't it ; )
Cut the Rope: quite possibly a killer game for most of us. Thinking fast is key here, I like it very much. (I have to admit though that my 3.5 year-old son is about as good as I am. But he is astonishingly good for a 3 yo, ROFLOL!)
Great Little War Game: hard one, this one. Liked it, but was not 'steadfast' and sometimes was unclear what consequences movement would have. There is only an inconsequential und relatively uninformative tutorial, so you're left to fend for your own.
Not played (extensively): UNO, Siegecraft, Virtual City Sandbox Edition.
Hope that helps a bit.

I really couldn't have asked for a better answer!
It seems as if you've taken the time and effort to help me out and share your ideas and opinions, so thanks a lot! I shall hit the like button when I'm next at my laptop!
I think I'll give all the games you've mentioned a go, and hopefully this threads still going in a week or so and I can give some feedback on those games!
Thanks again for taking the time and effort to help!

i'm currently addicted to Where's My Water ... it's really fun to play
If your looking for a long term game to play like op on laptop or pc like fifa or warcraft or aion or need for speed there ar none to few...the gameplay on android device is limited by your own taist ,like marty allready told @ some game's controls ar badass.
Deadspace and Nova2 hd ar the taste for eyes but a hate for controls
Eart and Ledgend and Samurai2 and Third blade free ar for rpg less graphical lust for eyes but controls ar way better
Sleepy Jack and Cordy and sonic4 and windup kight and snowpro ar good/oke but also simple gameplay
And for app's depend on what your using your phone for howe old you ar and where you live
I am a plumber/central heating and work on new and renovation buildingsite's so for my work i use extreme alarm clock to set alarm ,tiny flashlight for in the dark and calculator for..and business calander and fm radio
For fun i use plume for twitter ,friendcaster pro for facebook ,skype and chaton to talk and text with home or friends and some dutch app's.
For practical use a have 1tap cleaner ,documents to go ,advanced task killer ,Dr.web(for security) ,igo8 to not get lost here in europe ,my data manager for 3g ,total recall for sgs2 to record my call's ,tunein radio when i am home over wifi ,weather and toggle widget ,weather pro ,shopsavvy as barcode scanner while shopping ,dish pointer for when i am on grand prix sidecarcross camping and having truble with my satelite reciver to watch tv.
Greats mike
I will end this noooow! Cartoon wars! Its suuuuuuuuuper addictive!! . Please try it.

A few I like
Windup knight
World of Goo
Backstab
Nova 2
Dungeon hunter 2
Hero of Sparta
They are all battery killer though (especially the gameloft games), so take that into consideration when you still have half a day to go before recharge.
I'm going to be on a car long ride with my friends next week, and I would really like some game suggestions that our group of 4 can play. Preferably, these games should (listed in order of preference) not require everyone to have a nexus 7, engage everyone equally without losing interest, not get boring after 5 hours of play (wifi and data are not a problem), not require too much movement ( we are in a car), and engage an unlimited number of people.
So far, I've tried out Taboo, truth or dare, and Would You Rather. These are decent games but they have their weaknesses and it never hurts to have more.
Sorry about such weird demands, the Marketplace's social category does not list social games for real life interaction. Though I can blame them.
I had fun with my friends with game Draw race on iPhone. I saw Draw race 2 on playstore, so try check it out.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GluZ28uZHJhd3JhY2UyZ3BsYXkuYW5kcm9pZC5yb3ciXQ..
There are also some board games I thing (Catan, Monopoly etc.)
There's a decent 2 player air hockey game in the free games section of the play store.
Good for 10 minute bursts.
Maybe do a tournament, 1st to 10 points.
I dunno if it's supported on n 7, but monopoly and game of lives were good multi player game that I used to play

I find all the above too difficult whilst driving
Achtung die Kurve, hands down!!
Coming from a Diablo , rouge like history of gaming, I have always been into computer versions of those types of games. Huge worlds to explore, a plethora of items to find, secret dungeons and chests spread out everywhere to reward the player that likes to find everything in a world. Until I played and bought 9th Dawn I didn't think I would ever experience that PC EXPERIENCE OF A HUGE WORLD ROUGE TYPE GAME.
While the grafix are simple sprites the fighting is fun. Three typical characters are there for your picking.The knight that can use a wide variety of swords ,axes,spears. The mage that fires spells like an Angry Bird rubber band style. Believe me the Mage and Archers way of shooting projectiles are a blast. The mage can upgrade his staff skills or magic, or both. Higher end staffs can not be exquiped by pure magic mages. The archer can work on upgrading his bow skills (skills are raised with use, think of Oblivion) so he can use a huge variety of bows. Or he can become a mad dagger wielding fool with shield abilities.
Bottom line, if you are into huge world exploration RPGs and high tech graphixmare not your requirement for good gaming.9th. Dawn is your game
87/100
This game is a lot of fun and it's constantly updated.
The only problem I've had with it is that sometimes their updates break the game, but they usually push fixes with a few hours
Try playing back stab its also really good

I get to play with all kinds of fun devices at my shop activating GS3's HTC Rezound's Moto Razr's Galaxy Nexus and many others to pre-paid services like CricKet and PagePlus and GoSmart every day. So imagine my surprise when my boss GAVE me a brand-new boxed 32gb VZW GNex and said "Do what you need to do, here's the activation details. Keep it. I have 4 more for you to work on when your done."
Now I've been all over the spectrum when it comes to Androids. LG Ally, Motorola Milestone, DroidX, Nexus S 4G, Droid 2, HTC Evo and more recently the Evo Shift just to name a few. But I have NEVER owned so much power in a device, even compared to the other phones I get to play with on a daily basis, than this Galaxy Nexus!
It is running BEAUTIFULLY on Slimbean 4.2.2 for Toro+. I can't get people to stop playing with it especially my girlfriend >_<.
So here's my dilemma. With so much power...what do I do with it? Looking at some of the other devices you can tell that I may have felt quite left out of the circle when it comes to running high-performance gaming and apps without using something like Chainfire3d, and then having to compensate with slow performance and cut down graphics.
My current library of games installed on my device ATM are Dead Space, Beat Hazard Ultra and Peggle. I have a few emulators as well, and with the huge screen and multitouch I don't appear to have much trouble playing whatever I want. Problem is, what else is there that could fancy my interest? I've looked through the Play Store and found some stuff to look into but it seems like I'm really wasting the use of all this high-end tech. Could anyone issue some insight on what I can do to REALLY show off what this phone can do? Like I want to push this thing as far as it can go! I'm a nerd to the max so don't be afraid of offering any other kinds of customizations or tweaks I can play with too. I've got a clean record so far with not breaking anything fancy :highfive:
Mass effect infiltrator, GTA, GTA vice city, real racing are some really good ones

+1 on Vice City

haha havent played a GTA game in so long will most likely have to snag that one.
i like racing games and Real Racing looks pretty nice
Never played a Mass Effect game, even though i have ME2 on my pc just never fired it up after 1.5 months of owning it lol. will look as well
i also checked out Shadowgun and Gun Bros. 2 but didnt really seem too impressed with Gun Bros visuals. Shadowgun is ok. reminds me of Gears of War which i love
other mentions in case anyone is interested:
Modern Combat games - meh i have CoD on my laptop
CoD Black Ops Zombies - ^
Nova series - much more fun than Modern Combat
Galaxy on Fire 2 - GORGEOUS! looks the best over any other phone ive owned and sooooooo fluid and smooth
Trials series - nothing fancy visually but nice mix of entertainment and frustration
Into the Dead - again, simple visually but pretty fun for a good 10 minutes at a time
Offroad Legends - very similar to Trials...BUT WITH TRUCKS!
Iron Man 3 - looks good, but is it any fun? (the game...the movie was meh)
Asphalt series - look really good but cars handle like ass sometimes
Need for Speed series - much more could have been put into them as a phone version. really should have been more direct ports.
thats all ive had to look at since my initial post, but guys keep this going we should be able to find the real gems somewhere!
