Hexdefense
Honestly fruit ninja. Sickest game. Just tried it the other day for the first time & I can't stay away from it
Guns n Bros
You guys should check out Cordy - I get a bit of lag at some parts but otherwise runs beautifully on the Captivate. The game itself is very impressive, although there aren't many levels at the moment. Totally free!
Pew pew. And pew pew 2 good stuff.

Spectral Souls - As far as I know the ONLY Strategy JRPG type on the market and IIRC it's a PSP port, but it's very well done and looks and plays amazing.
Game Dev Story - It's very simple but incredibly addicting. I don't know what genre you'd throw this in besides casual, but you take a game company from nothing and turn it to greatness.
Wordsmith - This is my favorite Scrabble clone, I prefer this over Words With Friends and Wordfeud. It just looks better to me and the on the fly score preview is great for those like me who don't care for manual counting.
3 Kingdoms TD - This is an odd game, but amazingly well done and my favorite Tower Defense game at the moment. It gets constantly updated with enough content that you would thing would be charged for, but it's all free (outside the purchase of the game of course). The graphics are great, it has a mildly bizarre storyline and it's very addicting.
Zenonia 2 is a great old school rpg game, Demon Hunter is pretty decent as well.

I concur regarding these two.
Also would have to add:
Radiant HD - Nostalgia at it's finest, harkening back to the days of Space Invaders, with a corny storyline, and relaxing music to go along with it.
Gailardia - Also brings back memories, this time of NES RPG's [namely Dragon Warrior], and has a painful difficulty curve [going from area to area requires several level ups before it's even survivable]. I'd only recommend for the hardcore RPG gamer.
Illusia - Originally an iOS game [had it on my iPod Touch.. don't shoot me for owning one ], and is quite good for a sidescroller RPG. Faintly reminiscent of Maple Story.
Definitely Cordy, Angry Birds, and Words with Friends. I did see that Adult Swim did release Robot Unicorn Attack finally for Android. It is a bit laggy, but still really fun to play.
Mini squadron is alot of fun!
Tap Tap Revenge 4!!
Backbreaker.

Hi Peepz!
im a fan of good games, that can waste some time to play.
i just wonder where those game can download for free
those quality one's
like SpaceWars etc..
thanks! and sorry for this nab post =D
Retro Defense, the only game I will play on the G1. It's a little laggy, in comparison to running it on an overclocked droid, or N1, but I've gotten used to it.
I also use NESoid, GENSoid, and other emulators. Besides that I haven't found any other games worth while.
I really like Cestos.

Not sure if you meant that you didnt find any roms worthwhile. Well the latest 2 games that I am playing and worth checking out, Alien Hominid and Warioware for GAMEBOY ADVANCE.
Happy hunting everyone!

asphalt won't run on my g1, if i install asphalt 5, it install aphalt 3 ... what i've to do?
Respectfully, there are a lot good/great games (counting the emus). Android has a lot of fun stuff (but mainly the great emulators).
These games and apps are worthy on my G1 and its app small memory. There are about ten other worthy games, but I am out of space
Thunder 2
Jewellust
3 Point Shootout
Air Attack
Basket Ball
Bit Blocks
Armored Strike
Friction Mobile
Jewels
Papijump
Shoot U!
Sky Force
Solitaire
Salvo
Gensoid
Nesoid
Snesoid
Gboids
Android Arcade
PCE16
UAE4Droid
Segoid
GBCoid
Frodo 64
Jarcade
LightRacer3D!!!
Hope I don't repeat any of the great games already mentioned, here's a couple more:
Droid Mini Golf (Best mini golf game available. Swipe with your finger on screen to shoot ball. Direction and swiping speed determin ball direction and speed. There's even global tournaments where you have to play a certain course on a certain day for world rankings)
Build-a-Lot (I'm surprised at how much I like this sim game)
AirHockey (by jjcgames)
Pobs (I know this game from PC as "Hexagon", it's awesome)
Maejong (better than other free Mahjongg solitaire games, worth the $.99)
Towers (xi-art, beautiful Towers solitaire game)
WordUp! (word seeker)
Mancala (I had never heard of this board game, but it's easy to learn and fun to play)
What the Doodle!? (online pictionary, like iSketch, and with much less cheating than in Sketch Online also for Android)
Backgammon Lite (beautiful)
Toss It (throw crumpled paper balls into a basket with a fan blowing at varying speeds)
AndroMaze (for the programmers among us. "Program" the little android to reach the end of the maze in as little moves as possible)
Android Games That Deserve More Credit
Cubes Free
QR: http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?...edium%3DPage%26utm_campaign%3DAndrolib%20Page
Cubes Free is a great game that uses the accelerometer. You play as a little android running through a field of cubes. You tilt the screen left and right to dodge cubes in your way, if you don’t, you explode and die. The game has tons of levels, its not ad heavy at all which is always nice in a free app. The dev also offers a paid app, ad free of course, with the ability to make custom levels. The free version offers a ton of different levels and difficulties.
Ninjump
QR:http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?...edium%3DPage%26utm_campaign%3DAndrolib%20Page
Ninjump has gotten a good amount of hype in the iphone world, but I never hear much about it in the android community. You tap the screen to make a little ninja leap left or right, (depending on which wall he is on) as he quickly moves higher up the wall. You dodge rooftops sticking our from the side, ninja stars, flying bluebirds, running foxes, and stick of dynamite. When you tap the screen to jump you also attack. If you attack 3 of the same enemies in a row, you get a bonus jump. Each bonus jump varies depending on the trio of enemies you attack. The game has a leader-board too which always makes things more interesting
Simonclone

How can anyone resist classic Simon?
Shoot U (lite)
QR:http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?...edium%3DPage%26utm_campaign%3DAndrolib%20Page
A great sandbox physics game. You shoot spiderman, zombies and pandas out of a cannon through various obstacles to make them hit the red star. The game has cool graphics that look like crayon drawing on parchment paper. Another great game to join the ranks of Crayon Physics
Snake
QR: http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?...edium%3DPage%26utm_campaign%3DAndrolib%20Page
The best clone of the classic game of snake that I've come across...and its free like everything else!
Emulator ROMs

An amazing one stop app for all things emulator. It resembles the android market- in a very organized fashion it lets you download a plethora of great ROMs, and offers direct downloads to wonderful FREE emulators that work great. The onscreen virtual keypad is amazing. You can't beat playing Super Mario on your Android.
Thanks for the info!! I love ninjump! And I never heard of Emulator Rom's in the market so I am downloading it now! I have been wanting to play some old PSX games!
saweeet!
booooooooooooooooo.....
Thanks, I've been looking for some new stuff.

I know it's a pretty broad topic but I wanted to see what are some of the communities favorite games.. I never use to play games on my phone until recently and I must say, some can be kind of addicting lol.. I am by no means a "gamer" so that's why I thought it would be nice to get a conversation started regarding people's favorite games
Free or paid, it doesn't matter. If possible, post a Market link to the game your referencing and maybe a little description on why you like it
So, some of my favorite games thus far are pretty general
Battle Bears: Zombies
-I loved this game on my iPod.. The android version is pretty good.. Who doesn't love popping heads off pink bears?
Ninjump
-Simple and addicting. Love the simple UI
Angry Birds
-I don't really know why, but this has to be one of the most addicting games I have ever played..
Well so far those are the only games I've really played.. Your turn!
Asphalt 6, NFS:HP, Riptide GP, GT:Racing, Fingerboard, TrialX2, Spiderman, Minecraft.

Robo Defense has been even more addictive than Angry Birds for me. Awesome game!
I love field runner and death worm

very little.
I was making some wallpapers from some pics that caught my eye and a lot of them happened to be from classic video games: Mario, Zelda, etc. I just got to thinking that while a lot of today's games are widely-played, they just don't have that lasting value that the games of the past had, the games that appealed to everyone.
I know there are a few like Little Big Planet and what-not that still do something for everyone, but it's titles like Dead Space and Mass Effect are what move units now. In the "What are you playing thread" Skyrim and BF3 are tops. Halo inspired some cool things like Red vs Blue, but are any of us going to look back a in years to come and really feel like any of today's games are anything more than hours of well-designed time killing? Even one of my favorites in Ninja Gaiden Sigma makes me wonder if I'll see it as great down the road. I don't think Ocarina of Time will ever be a let down, or Mario Kart, or the old Metroid games.
I know this is a little disjointed but I just wanted to get it out. What do you guys think?
I see a field of fps & mmorpg. Not any that draw you into them. None like the classics. You're right.
Casual gamers are into graphics, real gamers play Gran turismo 1 into the night

Bugaboo the flea really did it for me too. I lost many nights' sleep over that game.
Also, pretty much anything by Ultimate - Jet Pac, Trans Am, Cookie etc.. They were all classics.
Most games today get played till completed then put back in the box until they're sold a year later. I do revisit portal and the most recent Assassin's Creed that I have at the time. Some modern games still have plenty of staying power, but I don't know if they'll be remembered in 30 years.
Yeah...definitely true OP. It seems as technology gets better, we only get better with eye candy (with some exceptions of course) But now a days kids think a game is good because it looks good.
I mean, i get it. I get caught in the whole graphics as well, but the content needs to be there also.
That or maybe i'm just getting older and thinking back on simpler times just seems like it's more fun.

Precisely, I don't like playing online with a bunch of people, just give me a good game I play at my leisure and have fun.
Excitebike, R.C. Pro Am, Maniac Mansion. So simple yet they felt worth the time.
Contra III, Golden Eye, the good old days.
The best games are always going to be the ones you played when you were around 10.
Twenty years from now there will be a holographic thread about how awesome Cut the Rope was, and BF25 is nothing in comparison.
It's not age, it's content. Maybe the whole thing with the games that feel that way is that they "take you somewhere else." It's fun to play BF3, but when you play Mario 64, or the Final Fantasy series they are their own experiences. Maybe it's just that I feel like I get enough death and mayhem on the news and I feel better when playing games that are just games, nothing too heavy.

Dude, I remember some of the old 007 fps games and they had killing, but they were great because of the stories or multiplayer action, in your home.

I do have to say I think I will always remember the Metal Gear Solid series favorably.
missing the "epicness" in today`s games. baldur´s gate 1 & 2 for example was sooo awesome. with more than 120hrs of epic rpg experience (if u fance the genre of course), proper characters and brilliant dialogue wrapped in beautiful visual art. imho there are but a few games on the market nowadays to rival games from the 90´s, such as bg1&2, where more quality games have been produced.
just my 2 cents

Hey guys,
Comment the best video game you have ever played!
It can be from any platform :
PS4 / PS4 / XBOX / PC
and also mention the reason why others should also try it.
Here is mine -
Witcher 3
It's GOTY 2015, massive open world, great storyline, awesome graphics.
Dota 2, played over a thousand hours of it.
Can't tell, I played many games that are great. It's impossible to choose only one.
I like the look of the Witcher 3 but never played it. I love Left for Dead. Awesome game if you like zombie apocalypse stuff and shooters. It's fast paced and IMHO it has great team building exercises. LOL
All time favorite is and will be Fallout. Playing Fallout 4 atm - i love it!
My favorite game is Final Fantasy VII. The music and story in that game is amazing.
Goldeneye for the Wii. Nostalgia and very simple online multiplayer.
Fallout 4 should be the best game in my opinion with the most attractive plots and visual effect.
Half-Life series.
Mafia on Pc , the best
Need For Speed Underground 2
Borderlands 2 or Gears of War 2 lol
Grim Fandango - adventure the best in the world!
Bloodrayne. I never got to play anything but the first one, but it was hella fun. Got to use weapons and be a dhampire.
Civilization series on PC. But I haven't played it for a while...
fallout out 4 and global offensive
Ratchet & Clank for PS2 ?
