Guys, can anybody please let us know if there is any kind of lag or stuttering in any of the hd games?
I'm thinking of buying this phone and it would be a deal breaker if it can't handle hd games!

Fruit ninja [Arcade mode] & the Impossible Game
Both of these games are so addicting... I never played fruit ninja until I discovered arcade mode.. the classic mode is pretty boring yet that's what everyone plays when they buy the game.
Which games do you play (Xperia play optimized) when you just want a quick play around and not get into a game like backstab. I'm thinking of sonic to fill the gap but are there any alternatives?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
I usually fire up one of the OrangePixel platform games for a quick fix / Meganoid, Stardash or Jumpy
I never really liked those games tbh. Wasn't too fond of them and don't even like sonic that much really. Sonic 4 just looks good
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
Fifa 12, mostly
I usually do Fifa 12 or asphault 6 for quick play. Just a quick match or single race and done.
With a little more time I am actually enjoying Anomaly Warzone more than I believe I should
PvZ was a great time killer as well.
I don't like fifa that much. Pes seems to have much sharper and better graphics but saying that I haven't played fifa in quite a while
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
I usually just go for a retro game emulated. My particular game of choice is Super Mario Bros. 3
For me its Fifa 12 or emulators.
DeadSpace
Asphalt 6
Modern Combat 3
ShadowGun
Or GigaWing on the Tiger Arcade
For a quick game? I wouldn't get into modern combat probably if I was short on time

Check out Mass Effect: Infiltrator and Dead Space. They're both done by the same studio, who's taken a great approach to touch screen controls. Rather than just trying to fake a dual stick layout, they've really incorporated touch and swipe gestures. And the graphics are great.

Hi people!
The title says almost everything, what games do you play and enjoy in the Galaxy Nexus? Paid and Free, what ones do you save in your mobile to play in the boring times?
For me the ones are:
Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock
Hill Climb Racing
Jetpack Joyride
3D Bowling
Guess That Song
Dead Drigger
Also, I'm looking for a racing game, one like Need For Speed for any console or PC, one that you can costumize your car and race with him, one that has some kind of storyline behind the races, do you know one like that?

What's the answer today? I heard they took Xperia Play controls OUT of Nova 3, is that true?
I'm looking at MC4 and Asphalt 7, I need a third game
ZombieWood is a good option. Others: Wild Blood, The dark knight and the best of all, Modern Combat 4.
Other new great game; but not made by Gameloft, is Bladeslinger.
I'm pleased to report that if asked nicely, Gameloft will provide a direct download of version 1.0.2 of NOVA 3.
I anticipate also getting MC4 for sure.
Got MC4 and Asphalt 7. Got to disable AdrenoBooster for Asphalt, still have some FCs. MC4 works great.

MW - Better graphics, most realistic, licensed cars, great carrer mode. Bad soundtrack
Asphalt 7 - The visual is not so realistic, gameplay like arcade. Great soundtrack. Multiplayer mode
My favorite is MW, but asphalt is an great game too.

I haven't played NFS:MW yet. Asphalt 7 looks bad in screenshots but actually looks and feels really good while playing. I would compare it to NFS:U on the PC, except instead of drifting mode it has a big powerslide feature they call drifting But it's actually really enjoyable. I didn't enjoy the analog control much, but using the gamepad on the Play is great. If I really want to play a simulation, I can play Gran Turismo 2!
I've only played a little MW4 and Nova 3 so far. I think Nova 3 is actually the better of the two games from a technical perspective. It feels much more responsive and the graphics come across better. It's also better from the perspective of playability on small screens. In MW4 you're expected to shoot stuff that's just a couple pixels across. It has autoaim, but it can be pretty hard to even see what you need to shoot on a 4" screen. But this is just a first reaction to the game engine, really, not the game overall.
I havent tried nova 3 yet. But i heard they removed xperia play controls. Is that true?
Sent from my r800x using xda developers app
Nova 3 1.0.2 available from gameloft
I don't even know if it's true, but if you see above in this thread, I emailed them and asked them for version 1.0.2 which I understood to have Xperia Play controls (from another forum thread, if I find it again I will link it) and they sent me a direct download link to the right version. I can confirm that version 1.0.2 works on my Xperia Play with full gamepad support including analog controls.
Im already have nova 3 1.0.2 version, but the touch analog got problem when on vehicles. Really annoying to control it but already finish the game.
