Best Game to show off the phone? - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

Normally i use quake3droid at max settings (2048x1024 (i probably got the res wrong) etc) or i use a 3d game such as Guerrilla bob. What do you normally use? What game really shows the power of this phone?

Modern combat is a good one. Lags a bit in the menus but the graphics are absolutely stunning

modern combat or modern combat 2?

modern combat didnt work for me, HD versions anyway

Modern combat 2 I paid for it in the premium game hub...... awesome fps also Nova is another good one

any more? maybe graphics apps?
I presume the true power of the gpu will never be had, as from what I read drivers are poxy and have to use chainfire to sit in the middle to run stuff.
Do you think it will ever run true???

I dunno about using "the power of the phone" but Samurai Vengance II looks nice on the SGS2. Dungeon Defenders would be another good choice if it actually worked.

Samurai II : Vengeance
N.O.V.A. II
Dungeon Hunter 2
Basically any/most Gameloft games look great!

Zorro: Shadow of Vengeance looks good too.

How are you guys buying nova 2? I have tried the market, Chainfire 3d, and the Gameloft site. None show it available for sale. Am I using Chainfire wrong or something? Not really looking to pirate anything.

Riptide.

Online one correct answer here and phunkycow got it:
Riptide GP

As already stated Gameloft make some nice looking games. My personal faves are:
Galaxy on Fire 2 - Tegra 2 version using Chainfire (sad we need to use Chainfire)
Order & Chaos
Dungeon Defenders
A little off topic - It's pretty sad we so much fragmentation in the Android gaming space with developers signing deals with phone makers/chipsets. Thankfully, we have guys like Chainfire but I can see why Apple mobile gaming may be the future.

Gameloft released a version of Nova 2 which doesn't need Chainfire 3D.
Go to the gameloft site from your mobile - it should be there.

It's not showing on my market, is it region specific or something?
Also can I use it on my phone, not sure if I have tegra or not.
Thanks
edit: Well I don't have tegra in my phone, so can't play riptide, this is a joke. As if Android needs any more fragmentation.....

Managed to do some reading and installed chainfire 3d and the nvidia plugin.
Played riptide and samurai 2, while they are both very different graphical styles I'd have to say samurai looks better in my opinion.
Both lovely looking games though.

my small test is the best graphically looking on android: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1164111

Well I'd say either riptide gp or dungeon defenders.
Nova 2 looks great as well.

Dead Space!!! Chainfire3D/Qualcomm plugin look awesome!!!

Are you running the most updated version of Modern Combat 2? I think they might have updated it once or twice to accommodate new firmware on the SGS2 or something.
You can get Modern Combat 2 HD from the Android Market, its one of the few HD titles Gameloft has ported to the Market, and it works with the SGSII (its where I got mine from, only shows in the Market for compatible devices).
mine is v3.3.0

Well right here you can get the full version of NOVA2 HD, Asphalt 6 HD, and Backstab HD for $0.99 each....
.... However it appears that all gameloft games on the market havent been updated with the epic touch so they say they are not compatible.
With that said you can buy them now for $0.99 and download them later when they fix it.
If someone else knows a temp fix to get these games downloaded please let me know. Thank you.
You can buy it and then call them. They will send you a text to download the games. However, most games close whenever I input my name. Thinking it's DRM related and it is stopping me and not my phone ability to run the app.

Curious why install chainfire 3d? Riptide GP worked well without it. To stay OT though, Riptide GP is definitely a game to show off on the Epic 4G Touch... Reckless Racing 2 isn't bad either.

Another TEGRA 3 enhanced game. Where's our love?

So Max Payne is out today and its Tegra 3 enhanced. I had a One X with the Tegra 3 version of Shadow Gun and it had some nice effects over the version I now run on the S3. Is anything going to be developed on Chainfire to allow us to play these advanced versions of these games on our Mali GPU?
My S3 runs ShadowGun, NOVA3, GTA3 and any other advanced game I throw at it no problems (better than my HOX in most cases).
Will there be any Mali enhanced games or do I just have to hope Chainfire pulls a little magic out the bag?
I hope something is cooking for this.

Not for Tegra 3 games at the moment.
I've been playing Max Payne on the S3 and it looks good enough. You can also adjust the screen resolution from inside the game.
Even if the Tegra 3 enhanced version had some better effects I doubt it would make that much difference to the game play. But I do hate it when they give all the good stuff to the Tegra versions.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Nvidia is paying developers to code especially for their Tegra chips. It really has nothing to do with actual power or capability...
I'd like to add that I think 3D games or any hardcore games are terrible on a phone IMHO. Also kills battery life like its no ones business. Give me a big screen and controller any day. Scramble and Words with Friends on the other hand...
Yeah, I get cramps in my hands while playing those games that you need to always keep your thumbs on.. But they are still fun to play around with... It's mostly awesome to just have max payne and gta 3 on my phone

Sorry my bad, Max Payne for android. I'm playing it on 360 as well so mixed it up
GTA III fully-maxed out, and be sure to turn off the Frame Limiter; the game will run at 60 FPS and look sharp! Seriously, it looks beautiful. Also, as mentioned, Shadowgun. And Max Payne, as compared to running on my Galaxy Nexus (which runs it only a little slower than the S3), does what looks like HDR lighting on the S3.
Saw somewhere renaissance blood for tegra 3. Anyone can find it on app store via SIII, i can't even with market unlocker.
Thanks for all the recommendations. What about Driving / Racing?

I've been looking for excuses to pull out my phone and game but everything now and days on the play store is either freemium garbage or casual games that really doesn't let this beast shine.

I purchased the Final Fantasy 4 remake last week right after I picked up the Note 3. I have been playing that almost nonstop. It is a really great port of the original. I also enjoy some space shooting action in Galaxy on Fire 2. Its freemium garbage, but if you don't mind mindless repetitive space battles, there is no need to give them money for credits. I cruise around from solar system to solar system decimating the space pirate population. I really get into it. I also have FPse and use that to emulate a lot of the old PS1 games, not the most graphically impressive, but great fun.
I just started Shadowrun Returns, and i'm not usually a big game player, but i'm loving it so far
Spectral Souls, addictive RPG game and well worth the money. Still haven't beaten it yet.
i love gameloft games, but have not played any yet on the n3
right now i am just playing Clash of Clans, Plants vs Zombies 2, and various emulators
