Curious to know what games work well and which ones are worth getting for this Gtab to take advantage of the Tegra Processor. Anybody got a list they would recommend? Also if it matters on which ROM. I'm using CM7.
You can use the TegraZone app to find Tegra optimized games. Riptide GP and Bang Bang Racing THD both work well for me; however, I uninstalled Bang Bang Racing because it wasn't the greatest game (Raging Thunder 2 is a better car racing game even though it's not Tegra optimized). Also, here's a similar thread with other people's suggestions and experiences: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034168.
try looking on Tegrazone...games made specifically for our boards
All games from Tegrazone work on the G Tab as far as I can tell. I have Samurai Vengeance II and Riptide... both work flawlessly.
Samurai II works great, and Dungeon Defenders is awesome if you have a TON of time to invest in it. It takes a solid half hour or more to beat a level, and as far as I can tell, you can't save mid-level, so make sure you don't have anything else going on.

I was thinking about getting the Streak from Staples but mainly just for gaming, would all of you recommend it for gaming only?
I would love to get a Asus TF but for 1/2 the price and i only want to game with it, the streak seems perfect.
What do you think?
If you're never to far from a power plug, it's really no different than any other portable gaming console but with more features.
Do most market games run pretty decent on the streak, i was wondering also?

Every one I've played runs fantastically; especially the Tegra Zone games, of course (not because they run any better, but because they're ususally a higher quality in terms of graphics and frame rate).
Basically, you can expect the S7 to run everything from the Market as well as any of the top dogs out there because they all run the Tegra 2 processor (XOOM, ASUS Transformer, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Atrix, G2X, etc.).

Thanks for the info, you pretty much made up my mind to get one now.
Also anybody recommend any particular custom ROMS for just gaming by chance as well?
use strekdroid 1.3 for gaming you can overclock it. Just know that gameloft doesnt support the dell streak 7 sucks but you can get most of there games to work just use tegra based games i have 21 gameloft games on my streak all work perfect also if you root it you can use chainfire to get more games to work that dont support tegra chip set like Madden

I second StreakDroid 1.3, but be advised it doesn't support bluetooth, so no Wiimote+classic if you're using emulators. Honestly, though, you ought to be fine on stock. Just replace the homescreen.

i guess you can say i steal them but i have bought over 20 games from gameloft for my other phones so if they dont support it what am i to do.chainfire 3d emulates other chipsets so you can play games made for powervr and anderno on your tegra device
Don't get me wrong I think Android is great but I think it lacks a lot compared to the games for Iphone.
Why havn't the Devs come along and built the same type of QUALITY games for android that they have done for Iphone?
I have just sat for about an hour and hunted in the Android market for games similar to games ive just searched for on the itunes store, and all I can really find is cheap nasty replicas with bad graphics,shocking reviews and even scamming copies of certain games Zombies WAW is one thats on the market now.
Does anyone think/know if the gaming quality will be ever be as good as the Iphone, becasue I hate Iphones and it would kill me to get one to just play decent games.
Hmm, doubt it.

Why searching the same games? If I want to play iphone like games no doubt the best choice is....iPhone.
Android is the first operating system on phones in the world, and if you want good games you can have plenty... Android is not ios so don't think you'll find the same apps.

+1 for that. Android has many great games. for examples, games made by gameloft have nice graphics. Or from Pocket Legends. Cut the Rope (similar to iOS) also nice, angry birds, etc. Or my other favorite puzzle/mystery games such as mystery of the crystal portal, paranormal agency, etc. Many great games. Maybe it's because there are many more free games in android, many developers just upload crappy games. But if u want to search games that may (or may not) resemble iphone, u'll be pleasantly surprised at the results. Some android phones have better hardware than iphone. So, I guess there'll be many games that u'll love as long as u can find them.
The iphone is the most popular phone in the world.
Game companies want to make the most money possible.
They choose Apple over Android.
...
mega profit?
That is the only reason. That, and the fact that they only have to make one version of said game that will work on pretty much ALL apple devices, whereas, a decent looking Android game wont work on phones without GPU's, which is probably around 40-odd% of all Android phones on the Market.
Eventually, android will catch up with games and apps, and the gap is getting smaller and smaller all the time. It wont take long.

I purchased the backbreaker THD made specially for Tegra 2. Freezes before game play begins.
Anyone have luck with Backbreaker or any games made specially for Tegra ?
I am running Calkulin+Clemsyn 1.5ghz Froyo Combo. Have not had any other apps not work. Love it.
never had any issues with Backbreaker on any of the HC roms or Vegan 5.1.1 for that matter.

Hey guys!
I recently installed Galaxy on Fire 2 and Destroy Gunners SP(dunno if that's the right game, similar to Armored Core) and they rock on the O2X. Do you guys have any suggestions for similar games? No Gameloft games, got frustrated on NOVA2 because controls are really messed up, for 3 days I tried it on my cousin's phone and I can't get used to it hahaha Space sims or mecha games are welcome!
something like mechwarrior would be perfect
Minecraft Pocket Edition & Dungeon Defenders run great on the O2X. DD has better graphics, but both are 3d and run well.
They're a bit different to the ones you mentioned but they're good examples for graphics intensity
I have read in your gaming thread that many games are not compatible with galaxy note.As i am a gaming freak.itz the main reason i want to buy galaxy note.I want to know in future will this game compatibility issue will be taken care of?or will games be released compatible with the high resolution of note...plz help me...thanx in advance
Tintin from Gameloft
So far, a few games are not quite compatible with the Note, in the sense of looking too "soft" as they were not designed for the larger screen. The most notable fail for me is Adventures of Tintin in HD, which I was excited about seeing on a larger screen, as I purchased it when I owned the Galaxy S2. But the game is a different 2D version (horrible, ultra-pixelated 1980s game kind of look) on the Note. Subsequently, Gameloft prevented Note users from downloading the game but there's no refund. What a bummer, and certainly not an extremely pleasant experience dealing with the customer service, who sounded too matter of fact about it.
I suggest that you list the games that are critical to you, and some of us can help to check.
Help me with gta 3..nfs hot pursuit..9mm..i have read the whole gaming thread..for some people the games run for some they doesnt..vry confusing..

for me, gta3 ran when i downloaded over wifi, but not when i downloaded over 3g (probably due to crappy 3g in australia leading to corrupted files).
there are many different gta 3 versions on the market, there should be one for your area.
as for gameloft games, most dont really work too well. gameloft arent too great with their device support yet, but theyre not as bad as ea games.
Hey I also game a lot and I just got my galaxy note.
From the gameloft games, I am able to run (well):
- backstab
- asphalt 6
- brothers in arms 2 (there is a free version on the market)
- modern combat 3 (now available on the market)
What I am trying to run but can't:
- tintin (2d version...no way to get the normal one, I also copied the data over but nothing)
- 9mm - doesn't download the data: incompatible device
- shadow guardian : tried the galaxy tab version...data downloaded, gameloft logo than back to main screen
- rainbow six shadow guardian: the desire hd version i bought some time ago doesn't run. I am trying a samsung version now...downloading the data still don't know whether it will work
- let's golf 3: nothing...incompatible device. copying the data over doesn't help.
Other games:
- dead space: not on the market but you can find it and runs flawless
- shadowgun: no problems. available on the market
- shine runner : on the market
- riptide gp: same
- GTA 3 should run without problems...i still have to buy it, i have to finish some games before playing gta.
- sprinkle : flawless (no black bars on the sides)
- reckless racing
And of course some other minor games from the market...of course angry birds, cut the rope, apparatus and some others....but i am more interested in 'gameloft' games and unfortunately no game (apart from modern combat 3) is officially working. To get some to work you have to manually do everything...and not always work. That's why i am trying all the games (which I had bought and never played...what luck now they don't work on the new phone -_-) too see how many i can get to run.
Anyway in January gameloft should update most of the games and get them to run on the device. I am sure they are working on it.
So far every game I have has played perfectly on the note So no problems for me. But then again I don't play any of those games that you play. I'm a casual gamer (puzzles, word games, etc). I highly recommend the Note.
If any games don't run NOW, they probably will because all developers have to do is tweak their configurations.
good news for the original poster
