just thought i'd share this, it's basically words with friends but strictly for android
its really nice when it works, but the servers have been messing up recently
http://mobiputing.com/2010/08/wordfeud-free-scrabble-or-words-with-friends-clone-for-android/
Seconded, I picked this up a few days ago. Although the servers are a bit troublesome right now, when they get that all sorted out the app itself is very well done, the UI seems quite polished. My only complaint is the ads after each turn can be somewhat intrusive, but otherwise I definitely recommend this to scrabble fans.
first froyo, now this... i officially love my android so much more
this will help me kill plenty of time at work. thanks!
wordwise is another scrabble like game for the android
I have been using word wise (WW) for a while since it has been the only option. A recent update really polished up the UI. I downloaded this and will try it out, I'm hoping it is at least AS good as WW because I don't really like how many permissions WW has access to.
only annoying thing so far are the ads holy crap.
I have been using word wise as well but haven't stopped playing word feud since i got it

Nice using them both now and just suggested my recent iphone to droid friend to do the same.

those ads are AWFUL
Seeing that you can skip them after one second of viewing... I'm okay with that.

Our beloved Viewsonic Gtab will be the best Android platform for this game by far, anyone else excited?
Did I mention this will have an online multiplayer mode, also the first game for Android to use the Unreal Engine.

I've been waiting for this release, looks like it is going to be awesome. And like you said, they say tegra 2 is the best platform.
but will it work for our tablet? i know a lot of games have not been working for the tab but is it because we are using tegra2 or because developers just don't recognize our tablet?
hey anyone waiting for the game to be release, Trendy Entertainment tweeted that it will be release Friday afternoon.

New tweet from Trendy says the Android release has been pushed to this evening.
Looks like they are still testing it. Hope it posts soon and that I can see it on the Market
The game is released...downloading it right now!
I think I was the first user to dl and first online game setup on android woot (game was up EARLY in am)! Got some goodies for it too, in addition to what was left under the tree! Diels_Alder is my gamespy name, lets get more peeps to jam out this game... 4 online just isn't enough lol
This game runs aweful on epic and evo when compared to gtab! Now we just need games like unreal torny, alien breed, and other unreal engine games

This game looks and runs great
The graphics and smooth gameplay are incredible and immersive.
This is a good example of what will come in the future.
This is what I was hoping for when I first purchased the Z pad.
Online RPG gaming while on the throne "ow crap my legs went to sleep
pun intended
Wow. I can see now that Tegra2 is going to take over in 2011!
Sent from my GTablet-TnT-Lite using Tapatalk
I hope this Game is worth it.
With the markets new refund policy.. it'll be past my 15 minute return time before i get it all downloaded and tested.
Has anyone tried downloading this and running it on their Gtabs? just checked today and they had a new update that allows for tegra 2 support. I've had my eye on this game for quite some time but was reluctant due to the lack of tegra 2 support and the small disclaimer/known issue in the description that said "could not work & crash on 'uncertified' Google Android devices like Archos Tablet, Nook, etc".
So before i go psycho on my wallet and spend +/- 15 usd on this thing, I need someone who owns a Gtab, and was brave enough to buy this game, to confirm compatibility and if so, list down known issues based on experience. Thanks again xda peeps!

i must be getting rusty w/ my searching skills but so far the only threads i've seen about the game are for non tegra 2 devices (NC, Dell Streak, phones, etc) so really somewhat of an "apples and oranges" type of comparison. anyway just checking if anyone who owns the Gtab specifically have tried this game out lately... but no rush (considering that the update was just rolled out less than 24 hrs ago). eagerly awaiting for some first-hand insights!
Just noticed it this morning too. Good chance that I will try it this evening. I honestly don't see why it would crash on the nook though. If all else fails, I still have my Captivate to play it on. It did look nice on the g-tab when I watched it on youtube. I can say this, if your a fan of classic rpgs the sound track alone will blow you away, at least all of what I heard.
I took the $15.00 plunge this morning. The game has a 1 GB download for game data, so you're going to go well beyond the 15 minute refund limit. On the other hand, you gotta love any program that simulates Pong while the download is being counted down.
Once the download is complete, I'll let you know. Looks like it's gonna' take a couple of hours as I'm running this off a EVO hotspot.

looking forward to your impressions of the game -especially those very noticeable pros and cons! i've been a long standing fan of classic JSRPG's ever since i first played final fantasy tactics a long while back and have been left hooked ever since (even enjoyed 2D JSRPG's with mediocre-to-crappy graphics)

The download continues...and Pong is suddenly less fun to watch than it was in my youth. About 1/3 of the way home....
Winner!
Download is done....and Pong now totally sucks. Anyway, bottom line is.....it works. While I haven't had a chance to go too far into the the game, I can tell you that the soundtrack and graphics are both top notch! Is it worth $15.00? Yes.....yes it is if you're into this kind of game.
If you were waiting to buy this but were worried about it running on the GTab, I say go for it. Mind you, I'm on Vegan 5.1.1 so I can't talk about any other ROM.

Thanks for taking the plunge. I had been reading the market reviews to see if a gtablet owner was satisfied. Its way easier to toss 15 bones into the aether knowing your getting something from it.
Graphics glitch on the Xoom making it unplayable. Game appears to only play in portrait mode.
Let's keep this going to remind those of us who forget to check...thanks!
Good app and free is in my budget..

Probably just keep this going and update the original post so the board doesn't get full with crap. Only problem is the apps get released at 2:00am my time. I probably won't have the thread updated till about 6:00am CST.

Always good to have as a reminder, and maybe reviews. I downloaded it on my N1 today, haven't had time to try on my Xoom. But free is good, so the worst that can happen is I don't like it and have to blow it away. My only complaint, after rooting tonight and having to reinstall the Amazon apps is that it only lets you download and install one at a time, quite the PITA since I had over a weeks worth of stuff to catch up on. 12 downloads, one at a time.
Today's app is Fruit Ninja but it does not appear to be the version designed for Tegra processors.

Really wish it was the THD version. But free is free.
Weatherbug Elite today. Grab it for your phone and get the free tablet version from the market.
I wanted to try this app!
Thanks!
Flight control today. Tablet ready.
Thanks.... got flight control
Get it while you can. Ad free and looks fantastic on the tablet.
This version of Backbreaker Football will not play on the Xoom. However, there is a THD version out there if you really want to play the game.
sorry I missed flight control; I bet it looks great on the Xoom..
I have a hd backbreaker file. It seems like this forum doesn't accept .apk postings of actual files... if anybody wants me to upload it to rapidshare or something just let me know
I hear alot about this game/thing... Whats the point of it? It looks like something that you building insanely pixelated. aated cities, lands etc... Just dont get it. There has to be more. What am I missing? I read there were like 200 million copies sold. And few million on phones

Just try to play and you'll understand...
It's super addictive.
It's just basically making stuff and downloading other peoples levels they made that you have to do and like the other answer you got it is rather addictive!
Well, you're also missing stuff like crafting and survival. Depends on what difficulty you choose. Try for yourself.
I was wondering the same thing, because a bunch of guys I know love it. I tried it myself and I was bored within about 10 minutes. It's either you build something which isn't very impressive, or you sacrifice endless hours to make something awesome. But at the end of the day you don't really get anything for doing it... So I see no point either

Survival? How do you related survive and make objects?

Fighting with mobs, crafting armors and weapons, surviving night and spending day to gather resources. That's what it looks like when you play on hardcore difficulty.

My one friend modded his server and made everything look and act like star craft bw.
Pretty sweet achievement.. still has insane bugs..
If you're a call of duty type, then this game ain't for you.
Minecraft is more or less a creativity tool. If you aren't creative, then it's not for you.

Right now it's the pseudo equivalent of creative mode only. In creative mode, there are no monsters, infinite resources, and your character can't die.
Survival mode is really what brings out the flavor in minecraft, if for no better reason than you have to "earn" what you build by harvesting everything and *not* dying.
Initially the dev team (Mojang) wanted the pocket edition to be like creative mode only. Now apparantly they're giving it some survival mode teeth, as that's what the community has been clamoring for.
Here's to hoping there wont be too many corners cut. If so, I may have to hunker down and actually buy this one.
There is a free demo version for anyone who's curious. The demo version doesn't let you save your worlds, so whatever you build is gone when you close thr game.

i simply find it grotesque, i can't fathom the ugliness of such game
it's like worse than going back to the computers from the 70s, just with color instead of monochrome
i still remember Atari games that looked exactly just like that
