Letsgolf HD 3

I've tried
9mm
Cut The Rope
Both run fine.

Drag race
SNES AD

anyone got modern combat 2 or dungeon hunter 2 to work then?

I've tried Block Breaker 3 which runs a bit choppy but fine. Also tried Captain America but that has resolution problems with icons and texts not aligning properly.

i think is easier to ask and come up with a list of What Games Do Not Work with Galaxy Nexus?, than asking for what games do work, as it will be like 90% of games in the market and off the market
chances are many of the Gameloft 3D games that are Exynos / Hummingbird CPU based will not work on this phone

We generally have to assume Gameloft games WON'T work :-/
Asphalt 6 HD works great though, downloaded from the Market. Didn't work on my DHD...
N.O.V.A. 2 doesn't work.

Working:
Apparatus
Air Attack HD
Fruit Ninja
X construct
Dungeon Defenders Second Wave
Live Holdem Pro
Contract Killer
Sketchbook Mobile Express - (Sketchbook X doesn't register the Pentile screen inputs properly)

Has anybody tried NFS: Hot Persuit?
Personally I can confirm that the newest version of n64oid works perfectly well, I've been playing Star Wars: Racer and it's great

Best games for galaxy s2

Everyone please suggest which are the best games for our galaxy s2. And I also suggest those over clocked to1.5Ghz to comment to let us know whether they can play better performance games than 1.2Ghz users.

Sims Freeplay has amazing graphics and it's free. Also try Modern Combat 3, Sonic 4 episode 1, Anomaly HD, Osmos Hd, Edge Ex, Wind-up Knit is free and an amazing platformer, Blood and Glory. Also you can play if you like with emulators , I have played Diablo 1 for the sake of old times

Landrule ( Risk board game clone ) is rather entertaining.
World of Goo works well.
Still deciding on Zookeeper, the difficulty spike when the bunnies are added is extreme.
RoboDefense kept me busy for ages.
Plants Vs. Zombies is good for quite a while as well.

Really hooket to one game specifically atm
"Wind up Knight" and it's FREE

Whilst I agree it's pretty good - you should try it on an iPhone5. It's even better.
However, I still have made the full-time switch over to a One. What a phone!

Anyone else get a Green Fuzzy screen on "Shadowguneadzone"
otherwise these are all tested to work too Vector, Pool Break Pro, Subway Surf, Epic Citadel, and Dead Trigger..

finally a gaming thread
guys be sure to check the following posts
HTC One Gameplay videos>>
HTC One Gameplay analysis videos>>
regarding RR3 sadly so sadly i still dont have my device, but it appears to be running in 1080p? pretty soon with the invation of s600 1080p phones, devs will realize not run at native 1080p on wasted pixels (even current consoles struggle with that) and instead scale up from 720p like they do on the retina iPads and regain 50% performance
two more things to keep in my mind, there is a promised GPU drivers update on the way which might come along the 4.2.2 should result in better performance as well and finally HTC own CPU governor is a little battery friendly and can drop frames so if you are willing to root at a later point, a lot more speed can be extracted with custom gaming tweaks

I don't know about the "best" game, but Riptide GP2 is fast and pretty.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I have a lot of games. It really just depends on what kind of games you like though, to say what would be best for you.
For racing games, Riptide GP2 is great ($2.99), Beach Buggy Blitz & Shine Runner (same dev as Riptide and free), Real Racing 3, Crazy Taxi, and Reckless Racing are all great games which play and look excellent in the N7 FHD. Hopefully Asphalt 7 and Need for Speed : Most Wanted will both become available on the N7 FHD before too much longer. The device just came out, and it takes the game devs a little while before adding a device to their compatibility list. Neither of those games were showing as compatible with my Asus Infinity for a while, even though the previous versions of both were. The Infinity was added to their compatibility list before too long, and both games are awesome on it!
For FPS/Call of Duty style games, Modern Combat 4 is absolutely incredible, Call of Duty : Black Ops Zombies, ShadowGun, and Dead Trigger are all awesome and a lot of fun!!!
Subway Surfers is also lots of fun! I actually prefer to play Subway Surfers on my N7 FHD instead of my Note 2, Evo LTE, or Asus Infinity! Just seems more fun on the 7" display than on any of other sizes! The N7 is truly an incredible device, and support for it will continue to grow larger over time! I'm looking forward to what the future holds for the N7 FHD!!

I show off Samurai 2, cordy (1 and 2) Rayman, Crazy taxi, Zen Pinball, Or shadow gun. All look stunning.

beach buggy looks great but it lags when the resolution is maxed. Their is also slight stutters in riptide gp2 but rare. Anyone experienced this?

I see stuttering with Beach Buggy Blitz no matter the settings, see it in the original Riptide too. Oddly enough, never noticed it on the original Nexus 7.
It is a little disappointing. Thankfully, I am not a big gamer.

Nothing to be disappointed about. It is a me device and those games are not yet tweaked for it. That is partially why there is a new riptide.
I'm sure most of these games will play well on this device once adapted.

[Q] GPU-heavy Android games to test Adreno 305

Dear fellow S4 Mini guys,
I have bought this wonderful device a week ago, and since then it gave me nothing but usability comfort and modern smartphone awesomeness (I think its part High-end and part Middle-end (namely PPI and GPU are of the middle-end. You are welcome to discuss this though).
Being a mobile gaming junkie, the first I did is fire up a latest PPSSPP and playing some PSP titles, and I am still amazed at how the ARM cores have matured over time, Qualcomm Krait 300 (and 400 that started to appear just right now) and ARM Cortex A15 currently being state-of-the-art.
However, my grudge is against the GPU, which is less important to platform emulation than it is to native Android games. While it is enough for any game I actually play on S4 Mini, it is showing its middle-end teeth on the games like Iron Man or even Vice City. And I started to wonder what this Adreno 305 GPU is actually about. I've been for quite some time apart from recent 3D Android titles, and have seldom spare time for checking anything that is downloadable to figure out for myself.
So I wanted to know what games are the most GPU-intensive and demanding so I could test them and get a grip on the general GPU performance of S4 Mini. Not that it would change anything, but once the curiosity starts to spread... From Youtube videos I know that N.O.V.A. 3 runs quite good.
Thank you in advance, and you are most welcome to discuss the general performance of our device and your notes on performance of specific games.

Thanks, I'll check out some of these games tonight.
However, from my experience with 2011 Xperia Play I can state the following:
Dead Space, Shadowgun, Mass Effect and Need for Speed Most Wanted will run flawlessly on anything even remotely more powerful than Adreno 205, which is considerably behind Adreno 305.
Btw, I forgot to add that Carmageddon, GPU-accelerated mode of FPSE and N64oid run flawlessly as well. But I believe they are not GPU-demanding enough to push the limits of S4 Mini.

Take a look at a game called "The Room". Quite fun as a puzzle game and looks quite nice.
Seem to hit some snags here and there. You determine if it's poor optimisation or if it's just GPU-intensive.
Another game that looks quite good from the screenshots (don't really play fast-paced games on my phone) is a game called Galaxy on Fire 2 HD (it's free).

Galaxy on Fire 2 HD isn't supported on the I9195 though

That is in "your case" through the playstore yes. If you get the APK from other sources, you can install it. Basically most games that say "Not Compatable" are compatable anyways.. it's just the playstore that thinks your device is not supported.
Beware that if you have editted your build.prop and your DPI, playstore can also have compatability issues because its 240dpi for this device.
Also I'm not listing games if they do not work, obviously!
NOVA3 just works fine.
