2 player games - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

Hi i will have my SGS2 soon and i have brought the mrs a Galaxy ace as its her first smart phone and very cheap indeed.
I was woundering if there any 2 player games that we both can play against eachother from eachothers phones,
I no apples phones have games like this but i really havnt a clue with android as im slightly rusty with it tbh and never really had any freinds with an android device.

I've come across a few and they tend to be turn based games rather than real-time. There's a whole bunch of Scrabble derivatives (Words with friends, wordfeud, wordsmith), a few for chess (chess-presso is the only one I've tried but I know there are others) and one that I particularly like is Pool Break which lets you play pool, snooker, and a couple of other games.
For real-time gaming the only one I know of is Homerun Battle 3D which is quite good fun. I'm sure there are others but that should get you started.

Isn't mini squadron multiplayer? That's a fun little game.

so there is a few then, id concider playing any game against the mrs!

if you like starcraft, try starfront from gameloft, very nice detailed game, and very nice to play against friends (and your mrs if she likes that kind of games.)
Edit: they have multiplayer on most games, so check out their website. I believe they also have some nice racing games etc.

Good x1 games?

ive had the xperia for around 6 months , downloaded lots of software/games etc. but none of them really appealed to me. CoD2 , NFS.. anyone know any good games that are fun to play on the x1 ?
and games that arent too big , i like my x1 to be light and quick
Games on Windows Mobile are a big fail IMO, one thing that kept me entertained for a while tho was that SPB brain evolution... but... this comes second only to SOLITAIRE! lol
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/brainevolution/
Ya. My gf was feeling bored waiting for the bus the other day so I passed her the Need for Speed on my X1, but she was asking whether there were any other no-brainer games (like those in the iPhone). Well, haven't come across any good ones.
Some games that don't require too much brain activity. Maybe 3D Mines does...
Insaniquarium Deluxe 1.0
3D Mines 1.2
Archibald Adventures 1.06
Quartz 2 Deluxe
SPB Quads
Just google them if you want more details. Of course, there are lots of nicer 3D games from e.g. Gameloft, but they take longer to start and it's harder to play them etc.
How about Xtrakt?
If you like point & click adventures, you can try teh scumm vm emu to play games like Diskworld, Monkey Island, Broken Sword.....
vscumm or qemu - ie heroes 2
a really godlike game - but buggy^^ - is Tower Defense =D the one from color stones^^
ive got uno on mine
keeps me busy for hours
Madden 10 plays well on X1
Experiment 13 really is a nice game. Fast and clean 3D graphics and fast response to inputs. This one, along with Xtrakt, have the most "non-phone" feeling of WM games I played.
Sonic unleashed from gameloft... 5/5 stars from me.. feels like yesterday i playd on friend some gadget... but it vas mozre than 8 years ago.. cool game
Zenonia 5/5 stars... mmorpg not bad too
flight comander
Towers Trap is also good one..it's one of my favourite works fine in fullscreen

i hadn't managed it in one piece, played a week and charged always my device
i've got the same problem with a 4.8 valkyrie rom, but i look forward to install the extendir rom of YYYYY (hammamet) that semms very promising

[Q] Worth playing games ?

Hi, could any gaming veteran advice some good positions for playing of various gender? I mean some good 4x strategy like Master of Orion, racing, shooter, survival horror, adventure and at the and some platform.
I am also interested in games like Roguelike RPG (ADOM), Heroes of Might and Magic and any other adjusted from PC to our pocket station .
Thanks

I'm guessing English isn't your first language. The line about "good positions for playing of various gender." Makes absolutely no sense, so it's hard to understand what you are asking. Do you want some good game recommendations?

Yes it is not my first language very good perception, however you guessed very well what I meant (and very good imagination), anyway I've a little complicated the grammar and sorry for that.
Exactly, the question is: what games can you recommend to me. I am interested in all the types.
Thanks a lot once again and forgive me next puzzles if any...

N64oid!! - I know you know what a N64 is And I know you love Super Mario 64
Something newer ?
OK, the games I have installed right now are asphalt 2, cubes free(kinda old school graphics, but lots of fun), gun bros (one of my favorites), heavy gunner, nfs shift, spectral souls (very expensive, but well put together turn based RPG), squible (it was the first game on the market that captured my attention), zenonia 1 and 2 (Zelda style RPG) and also live holdem pro(free live poker game, very addicting)

I think the word you are looking for is "genre", not gender. Genre is a group or category of something, and gender is sex (like male or female).
In any case, Pocket Legends is pretty cool, but the games I limit myself to these days are Angry Birds, Slice It and Wordfeud...all puzzle type games.
-- B
I'm a gamer myself and have literally tried every game available on android. Pocket legends is pretty fun to have for a portable mmorpg. It has some obvious tones similar to world of warcraft. Another fun rpg is crusade of destiny. Its got great graphics and fun gameplay and kept me busy for a couple of weeks. Spectral souls is a well made game for sure but its more one of those strategy rpgs that lacks the ability to fully control the player. It reminds me more of an amped up chess game so it wasn't my taste.
Also if you're running a high end device, which I can assume you are because you're in this forum, I can reccommend any of the gameloft games. They aren't available on the market so you'll need to visit their site. Just google gameloft. They are a little pricey and some of the games can be a little buggy at times but as far as graphis go and playability there is little comparison out there. Games like splinter cell, hawx, modern combat 2, and avatar come in high definition formats and stick pretty close to the full size counterparts.
Other than that you should bury your gaming urges in one of the several well made emulators on the market. A lot of good games from the days past and some fun memories too!
Happy gaming!

Another game I would highly recommend is Project INF. It's a top down multiplayer shooter. Somewhat addictive once you get into it.
I think someone already mentioned it but GunBros is also a good shooter game.
EA also has a bunch of mainstream titles on Android like Sims 3 and FIFA 10.
I hate to support companies that refuse to support Android by refusing to put their apps on the market but Gameloft really has some of the best Android games. I currently have Modern Combat 2 and for an FPS with 3D graphics running on a phone, it's absolutely stellar! It even has multiplayer. Not sure about the price but I think I got it for $3.99 or $4.99. Just Google "gameloft".

Have you even looked into the reason WHY gameloft games are not on the market? It has nothing to do with them not supporting android.
It has to do with the fact that they have different .apk's for different gpus in different phones, the games are optimized for specific gpu's, that's why they look so good. The market doesn't allow multiple apk's or detect phone gpus so they can't put it up there properly.

When you buy a game from them they require your phone model to give you the right one.

One game that I can heartily recommend is Majesty. Plays pretty much like the PC version. I'm in the same boat as you otherwise, just got a g2, only had a g1 beforehand, in which I ran nesoid and gensoid, nes and genesis emulators.
I did run across some apps about emulating Heroes of Might and Magic 2 and the Baulders Gates/Planscape Torment games...but you need the data files from the games, so either have to own em or....
Search Pelya (the maker) for those. I havn't been able to test them out fully yet, looking for my old discs now >.<

Wow i have both of them original versions ,please tell me how they can be launched on the our little machines and if they are not too slow?
By the way i am still looking forward ADOM and Fallout distribution if it is possible.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Yeah I would kill for Fallout, never really got into the BG series. As such I don't own the first one, and after reading more gemRB is only allows bg2 demo, so didn't bother.
Free Heroes 2 on the other hand, works pretty well. Was just playing some Heroes of Might and Magic 2.
Quick run down on what you have to do.
Download Free Heroes 2 on your g2/desire z
Install HoMM2 on your computer, go into the game files, copy the data folder, go into your sd card and put the data folder in "app-data/net.sourceforge.fheroes2"
You will most likely have to make the sourceforge folder.
Now start the game, make sure the "where to download application data" tab is pointed to your sd card, and then go to "downloads" tab, click game data I guess? Then dl midi music and essential map pack, get the additional and mega map pack if you wish, and any of the translations.
Now you should be able to run the game, but will run into the issue i had, crashing after the first turn I imagine
SO, remount your phone to the pc, open up your sourceforge.fheroes2 folder, and look for "fheroes2.cfg"
Open it with notepad, then look for "videomode = 640x480"
Change it to "videomode = 800x480" and save. Now should run with no issues...hopefully. I tested a few turns then attacked a graveyard....suffice to say I died
Took me a little bit of scouring to figure out exactly how to get it to run, and still havn't messed with any of the more indepth tweaks, so if you figure out some that work real well, be sure to pass them along

[Q] So we all love gaming right?

Well atleast I assume we all enjoy some level of gaming. I've been a huge fan of the developers GameLoft . Most of their Android games aren't on the market for some reason but I've purchased and played their games ( NOVA , Assassins Creed, and GT Racing ) and they are amazing. When ever I try to go searching for more quality games like the ones they make all I get tossed at me are things like Angry Birds and Air Traffic Control. They are fun little games and they are fine but I am searching for more higher quality 3D games.
So know of any?
http://gameloft.com = their site, check it out. Wait for a sale to go on before buying. I got all my games for $5 about a month ago.
NOVA : A SWEET 3D FPS. Straight up, it's like Halo on your Droid which is just pretty freaken awesome especially when you factor in that it has Multiplayer Deathmatch levels. If you kill all the background apps and services before playing your experience should be super smooth and fun.
Assassins Creed : An interesting remake of the game from the console versions. The graphics are of course pretty snazzy and the game play it's self is comfortable. Worth checking out if you like more "Adventure-ish" style games.
GT Racing : Oh... My gawd... Hands down my favorite racing game. Not for the phone but outright FAVORITE racing game. Detail is rediculous, graphics are insane, and the number of cars and races are just like ... daaamn... You gotta check it out.
Huh I thought there would be more interest in this area but I suppose I stand alone lol
Well I am not actually much for games. my game is flashing a new rom every once in a while ... well I did get Majesty from appstore for free the other day. I played only the tut and one adventure but it seems like a pretty good game. it is similar to AOE which I grew up playing alllll the time.
Thanks,
SoBBie
I downloaded that too! Pretty fun. Also not a huge mobile gamer but I might check out some of the games in the OP.

[Q] N-Gage Emulator....?

So I found my old N-Gage the other night in a box. A few games and one of them was the awesome game The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey. Game had potential but was dumbed down by the low power hardware of the N-Gage. Does anyone know if there is a emulator for the N-gage on android? Nice thing about the games is that it is easy to copy the game data off it as there is no encryption.... Could be awesome to play this with an emulator that would allow you to speed up the game a bit... thanks in advance.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWZtErLAtA8
Edit: I am going to venture that no emulator exists..... did some searching around and fond nothing but an emulator for PC.... but then again all the links for that PC emulator for N-gage were dead......hmmmm
I have emailed Bethesda thanking them for making these awesome games.... and asked if there were plans to release either a new game for android/IOS and or a remake of Shadowkey with updated graphics and of course Xperia PLAY support. I seriously doubt anything will from this but still, doesnt hurt to ask.. if others are interested in this idea please email Bethesda at the following link:

Dont even think there is one on PC! Shame really! As a Big 40K Fan! Always wanted to check out Warhammer 40,000: Glory in Death. (Ave Imperator)

oh yeah !!!!1
elder scroll i the best game i've ever checked
High_Seize
Pathway_to_Glory
Pathway_to_Glory:_Ikusa_Islands
Best turn-based strategy games, ever. And only for N-Gage. And my n-gage died sometime ago
PtG was like Jagged Alliance in WW2. I played that game through tens of times.
I think there was a n-gage emulator for PC back in the days. Though I am not so sure anymore.

Love Turn based strategy!!!! Never know about Pathway to Glory but need to check it out! Thats what we need more of on Android! Would love to see a mobile based version of X-Com! (Know somebody did a version for WinMob years ago! Hopefully with the new remake inbound!!!!!) or Jagged Alliance! (there was a Nintendo DS version i think!). Julian Gollop needs to bring some of his Ninja Skills to Android! (Got most of his games on my XPlay with emulation!!!)
I bought a Motorola RAZR instead of that phone.... worst mistake ever :'(
Mile High Pinball was one of my favs
Did anyone ever play the ONE ... ?
lol, you read my thoughts. The only elder scrolls games we could run on our phone are shadowkey and arena (daggerfall is still to laggy i fear); of course an android remake/release of whatever game in the series would be amazing. Anyways, even if there was an n-gage emulator, the screen would be pretty much half black :\
i've never played shadowkey, though. How was it compared to the main series? In terms of world size, things to do etc.
Only 2 games Id want on android tbh.
High Seize and Pocket Kingdom. I could SOOOO see Pocket Kingdom with todays Multiplayer ability.
Also I love my Ngage QD. Sad that Ngage arena is no more. Also The Civ 2 port on ngage was spot on.
I do rem winning 2nd place in the high seize ngage arena tournament. Only cause my FINAL game.. I was a different color and I mis looked at my units lol.. But still won some nice swag.
Btw, a remake "might" be in the works? http://insomniacgamers.net/IGForums/index.php?topic=1467.0
Sorry for bumping this but, someday someone should really release this for android.
There have been a lot games I enjoyed on N-gage:
- High mile pinball (Playable also on the newer Nokia phones but plays best on N-gage)
- Splinter Cell (Maybe not impressive now, but back in the day I played this out over and over.)
- The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey
- Xanadu Next (Some may dislike this but I love Xanadu!)
- Catan (Is out for Android I think, but I would prefer playing this version once again.)
- Ashen (Great shooter, never finished it would love to some day.)
- High Seize
- System Rush (Nice wipout clone.)
- The Roots: Gates of Chaos (Great RPG!)
- Worms World Party (Remember winning 1rst price in the tournament on N-gage arena.)
- The Sims Bustin' Out (I think someone will shoot me for listing this, but its a fun advanture and I love it.)
- Rifts: Promise of Power (Great RPG!)
So if anyone can, please DO make an N-gage emulator.
There are loads of great games, and I bet there are more people who would like to play these on the go once again.
Kind regards, Stefan.
What? You didn't mention pocket kingdom? Lol

I loved King of Fighters Extreme and Asphal Urban GT2 from the N-gage

N-Gage emulator for pc
There indeed is an emulator available to run N-Gage applications on a PC platform.
It comes with the Nokia SDK for the S60 platform.
It can be downloaded on Nokia official site.
Other cellphones that run N-Gage applications: N73, N78, N81, N82, N93, N95, N96, and the Nokia XpressMusic 5320.
Does any one have experience making emulators?

Games to play with friends on a long car ride?

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
