Ran across this last night perusing the Market with 'AppBrain' - a market overlay app which suggests favourties.
It's a God game, fantasy setting. There are a series of scenarios and the premise is that each time you must build up a little town, hiring Rangers, Warriors, Wizards and Paladins to stave off a variety of monsters and achieve an objective.
This is a professional quality game and looks excellent. The U.I. is easy to pick up, gameplay (at least as far as I've got) is balanced and fun and it's pretty addictive.
If you like this sort of game or even if you are just curious, go download it now before they bump the price up - introductory price was just $1 last night! Go get it before it inevitably becomes HOT!!!
**Edit: Correction it was UK 99pence so about $1.60 or so. Still an absolute steal, this game is a real gem. I got through another couple of levels today and it still doesn't disappoint. Not sure how many levels there are but I will definitely go back and re-play several after I get through them. It does add challenge and strategy in appropriate amounts: I failed one particularly fiendish level two or three times before figuring out a strategy that works and I'm still learning as I play. There's also online play apparently - presumably head-to-head, I haven't tried it yet. Fun, fun, fun!
Oh and I have no affiliation with the game whatsoever - never even heard of the development company before - I'm just a long time (semi-lapsed) gamer finding a good fix and wanting to share.
This stupid thing has me gaming again as well for the first time in ages, hooked on dungeon defenders. I'll give this one a try when I get home tonight, thanks for the tip!
Just bought it, unfortunatly the price is already up to 3 something USD.
Edit: Pretty fun, I didn't pick it up too fast, but its well made, and looks like it should be fun so I'll keep it. Thanks for pointing this out.
Good game. I'm enjoying the heck out of it. Thanks for the recommend.
Just installed it, paid $3+ (charges in euro by the way) graphics looks good... will spend a day or two till I decide if it's worth it or not.
But for those who want to get a pretty exciting game, try dungeon defenders. installed it and so far that game is so great! nice well done graphics! got in on sale for 99cents..dont know how much will it cost now, but trust me, it's worth it!
Finally finished Majesty last night, eight scenarios in all though the map where you select scenarios looks like more were intended. Perhaps content that was unfinished at release, perhaps a paid expansion. I will be re-playing all of them with the knowledge I have gained and I am sure they will be rather easier the second time through.
Each scenario is different and each has an amusing little story to set it up. As you progress you get access to Elf and Dwarf allies, though not both at the same time of course. In some scenarios you do not have access to one or more of your troop types.
I would have liked a few (2-4) more scenarios but even at $3-ish I would still consider it a good purchase. The two enhancements I would really like to see are adjustable difficulty levels and a free play mode using a random map selection and perhaps allowing the enemies to re-build their generators (buildings) after you have destroyed them.
Still a fun little game with great production value! I would happily pay a couple more bucks for an expansion.
Dungeon Defenders is up to $4.99 now I'm afraid, wish I could have found that when it was 99 cents. Maybe if they have another sale... I wish Marketplace would let me set up a watch list for software I am interested in but not wanting to buy right now.
Happy gaming!
I don't know for sure but I think this is based on the old PC game majesty. It certainly reminds me of it.
There was a sequel to that, so maybe we'll get more.

What was your strategy to the last stage Dragon Hazard that can only be unlocked when beating all the other stages with GOLD status?
Actually, I only unlocked the Dragon level very recently.
I have not been able to beat it yet - haven't upgraded my g tab install of Majesty in a while so I'm still playing without the difficulty levels. (By choice)
The best approach I have found so far is strategically placed Dwarven towers - North, South, East and West - supplemented with Necros and Warriors, but I've only been able to get through the first couple of waves of Dragons. They just keep on coming and if you don't kill them quickly, they accumulate and take out your defenses. The waves of Undead and the Harpies just add to your woes.
- Necros are invaluable for the 'Wither' spell and their lifetaps
- Dwarven towers are necessary to hold the Dragons away from your other buildings: a Dwarven tower is about on par with one Dragon and is superior to a Wither'd Dragon; two Dragons however will make mincemeat of a tower pretty quickly
- The other trick seems to be getting your warriors leveled and upgraded to the point where they can actually take and dish some damage to augment the towers. Aggressive expansion early on helps.. I think getting more money to hero's early on (by setting easy cash objectives) might help also.
The problem is that once your initial crop of heroes starts getting killed or one of your towers gets taken out, you are pretty much screwed.
If you figure out more, please let me know.
good game 10 char
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)

Also am interested on this. I really want to purchase, but I want to know that it will work on the GTab (Vegan B5.1.1).

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.
Hey Xoomers, Bang Bang racing is now in the Tegra zone market....enjoy!!! They originally told me it'll be out next week, better now than later!!
UPDATE: The developer has listened to our comments an will add new control options in a future update to the game, resembling the controls like Reckless Racing! The current controls are not bad once you get used to them...love the graphics though
Its in Tegra Appstore now but no link in market. Hopefully its up soon.

I informed the developer of the issue already, let's give it a few minutes and try again
The developer confirmed that it'll be ready to download shortly
They specifically said it will be released at 1pm EDT.

Yeah they were as surprised as I was that it was out already...Tegra Zone released it early....I'm playing it now.
Doesn't have any multiplayer option. For 7.99 it should have multiplayer
Is it good?
This will probably be my first purchase from Market. Yesterday Google finally enabled paid apps for 99 more countries, including the country where I live.
I bought the game about an hour ago. I am not a fan of the control system. I was hoping it would grow on me but after an hour it still isn't great. I hope they incorporate something better in an update.

What are the controls like? Tilt/Sensor or touchscreen?
[edit] decided to give it a go, dissapointing for £4.90, refunded it The control system is odd, dragging my finger in front of the car to dictate where it should go, at the same time obscuring my own view, isn't fun :/

They should of made it like reckless racing which has many different methods of control.

Agreed, I bought Reckless Racing on my Desire, didn't run too well until I traded it in for the Incredible S, yet to try it on my Xoom. Perhaps I should just stick with that
That's really disappointing I was really looking forward to this game. Is there anyway to use a controller wii or zmote?
Senta from my Xoom using XDA App

Cool, I'll wait till then
Got this... doesn't really disappoint. The control scheme as-is (luckily there's a more traditional one coming) isn't half bad, but takes a lot to get used to.
There's no practice mode though. I ended up using Time Trial as my practice. Not a bad start.
I bought it, played for 5 minutes and gave up in disgust at the controls. But, I figured that I'd let them keep the eight bucks rather than take the refund since I want to support people that make games for the Xoom.
Played it again later for about 20 minutes and started to get the hang of the controls. At this point I was having fun even though the controls were still frustrating, so I decided to run down to Best Buy and spend $20 on a stylus. The controls are WAY better with the stylus keeping my big hands out of the way and preventing my hands from getting sweaty so that they stick to the screen.
Love the game now. As an added benefit, the stylus is pretty cool in its own right and now I'm awesome at Fruit Ninja, too.

Agreed, need to support the people who develop software for Honeycomb. Bought it - played it - like it
Another game to show off to iPad lovers!!
It's a silver one carried by Best Buy under the Rocketfish name.
today's free app on the amazon appstore, reg. 2.99
http://www.amazon.com/Indie-Pub-Kon...1?ie=UTF8&s=mobile-apps&qid=1308836700&sr=1-1
One of the professors at my college (RIT) made it, I've been beta testing it for a few months back when it was called blocks, and it's a really well made game. Get it today while it's free! Or wait, support a developer working on a professor's salary
Nice, I'm an RIT alum!
I have a bunch of games on my Tbolt even though I'm not much of a game player. You know, the ones you "have" to have like Angry Birds (why are those birds so angry anyway?).
So I took a flier on Kona's Crate today, seeing as how the price is right. And you know, it's pretty fun! The graphics are great and it's kind of addictive. I was playing on my lunch hour and before I knew it, time was up. Keeping that thing stable and upright while navigating the obstacles is kind of maddening. You keep saying, "Ok, one more time. Ok, one more time."
Thanks, I was thinking about downloading it. I will give it a shot now.
Good thing you posted this because when I saw it I initially dismissed it as it seemed "meh" from the icon on Amazon. I'm def. gonna download it now as after looking at the screenshots it seems fun!
It is fun but once you touch a wall and the crate it off center its a major pain, and like major said "just one more time"
In a bit of a quandry as the Kinect's are on sale at Best Buy for $99 and I feel like Im burning a hole in my pocket. Anyone use this frequently? Worth it? I have my daughter every other weekend and she uses the Wii like crazy but I'm wondering about the adult applicability factor.
Played it a few times at a friends house and I like the bowling on it way better than the Wii. In my opinion it is worth it so long as you are getting a compatible game with it or you already have a game that works with it
For kids - probably great.. for adults? Depends on what kind of games you're into. If you're into the dance dance etc. games... probably awesome. If you're into FPS' and the like, probably a dud..
My kids like it but I have yet to play it. My wife did right after we got it and it damn near gave her a heart attack. When I helped them set it up it seemed like it was having difficulty tracking them. We got a new tv and I need to move the sensor up, hopefully that will help. Also, when our dogs happen to walk in front of them it screws up the tracking as well.
I've heard reports of people having to move the TV in their room because there wasn't enough space in front of the camera for it to work properly, and I've also heard that you need a tidy room as too much clutter can confuse it.
Video games are meant to played in a sitting position with a bag of Doritos (other ****ty tortilla based snacks are available) on your lap....
Shame on you people with your desire to move and stuff.......
There seem to be more promising games coming. The favorite at our house with Kinect is the Dance Central games. Rise of Nightmares looks pretty cool, and I never buy games like that.
I love it and i am 24
Just make sure you get kinect sport,kinect sports season 2 and fruit ninja
Those are the best games for it
I also like being able to talk to my xbox and browse hulu plus and netflix via voice and hand gestures and telling my xbox to shut down.
I think its worth it and is great to play with your friends.
keep checking sites like AMAZON....price drops all the time....
Anyone knows pc games that support kinect device by factory? I have read something about drivers that allow kinect to use it as input device or mouse for paint and general pointing actions but i don't know it about gaming use for example C.O.D. III
NickFee
I own one and... that's great! Btw more and more cool games are out
For me just singleplayer gamer is kinect useless but playing with friends is totaly best
