Updated 9/30/2011 - Added games, added screen captures and reorganized the list - While many of Android's best games are only compatible with Tegra 2, we Bionic users are off to a great start.

TL;DR - Help me make a list of graphically intense games which natively support Droid Bionic. Please provide a link if possible, especially if the game is only available outside of Android Market.
Please check your Gameloft hate at the door. Yes, I despise their policy of side stepping the Android Market so they can disallow transfer of purchased games when you upgrade your phone, but that's not what this thread is about.
I'm looking for graphically intense games for Droid Bionic and am extremely disappointed with my findings. It appears that the game selection is very limited due to Droid Bionic's lack of Tegra 2. I'd like your help making a list of compatible, beautiful games.
I hear that I can download a hack (Chainfire 3D) to install third party graphics drivers, adding compatibility for some games. I have little interest in this unreliable workaround.
[Asphalt 5 removed: incompatible]
[Assassin's Creed removed: incompatible]
[Neocore (benchmark) removed: not a game]
Just going to have to wait for the devs to convert for the bionics gpu then..
Chain fire just installs the tegra driver. You install apps via tegra game zone. I hardly call that a cracked APKs. Guess your just have to wait it out.
Chainfire does not crack apks, and you still pay for them in the market just as you would any other app. You certainly have every right to refuse to use chainfire, but don't spread misinformation or imply that it supports stealing games.

Post updated. How do you purchase apps that haven't whitelisted your specific device? Sorry for the assumption, but everywhere I read about that driver hack, people were asking for cracked APKs to run the games. I also read many reports of the hack having no effect on Gameloft games incompatibility.

These 4 3d games are working on my handset as well as quite a few if yours
Wow! That is a lot of games! I like this thread but I am going to have to take some time to look at all these and see what they are. I am hesitant about buying a game after some of the duds I bought on my OG Droid.

So does anyone know why we cant play stuff like NOVA2 HD or 9MM HD? comes up saying incompatible with the device...
N.O.V.A. 2 should be compatible. Make sure you aren't selecting the 3D version if the games. You may only select the HD non-3D games. Just use the link I provided above.

I just bought "Flick Golf!" on Android Market. The game runs silky smooth on Bionic, looks pretty good, and costs only a buck. However, it's not quite full screen for us. 4/5 stars until it's full screen.

Tryed to get N.O.V.A.2 HD and it's not compatible with my device. What am i missing no go on the games. That sucks! Do I need to have chainfire 3d to get right with the GAMING GODS!!!!!
asphalt 6 hd works fine on bionic. select targa from gameloft website pay and download works like a charm for me
Got it browser was in desktop mode. Go figure!!
I just bought, downloaded, installed, downloaded (round 2), and finally played N.O.V.A. 2. It's like Halo for your phone. Seriously, it's on par with most PSP shooters. $5 was an entirely fair price IMO.
The next game I'll get is probably Asphalt 6, but the fact I just ordered Forza 4 is making me doubt the need for it. I wish Gameloft had real sales for Android games. Their Twitter looks like they only have iOS sales and deals for single models of Android phones.
Update: Just grabbed Asphalt 6 and it looks even better. Still deciding if the controls are decent, good or great.

Bionic owners,
You can get Asphalt 6 and UNO HD for $.99/ea: http://t.co/JsuJRapa
The list in the original post has been updated with new games, screen captures have been added and re-sized. I hope you enjoy the games as much as I have. I'm going to try Rocket Bunnies, Breitling Reno Air Races, and Random Factor Mahjong next.
Thank you for your contributions, everyone! (XDA / Android Central / Droid Forums)
The Atrix version of order and chaos works, other atrix games may work too but idk.

I have all four emulators and they all play different games worth having. That being said, by their nature, the GBA games are less detailed than their SNES counterparts. Look at the Street Fighter, Mario games, Ghouls and Ghosts, and the Kirby games as a few examples. They look better on the SNES emu than the GBA- due to the platform the games were designed for (more resolution).
Plus there are hundreds of games that are not on the GBA. A few great examples: Mario Allstars, Space megaforce, Sidepocket, Tetris Gaiden, Smash TV, NBA Jam, etc.
If you are a gamer, you want to keep the best of both systems
SNES also seems to play smoother than GBA emu- especially fighting games.
Yea, i am going to keep some SNES game.
GBA really suprized me, mainly because i have never play any gba b4.
and to tell you the truth their game are really great for Cellphone.
just tried SFapl2 GBA on g1 it looks just as good as this screenie
G1 Keyboard FTW
How are the controls? I have found that the controls on some emulators are very frustrating.
Also, this may be a noob question, but where can you get the games for the emulators?

I don't agree with more detailed games on Snes.
AFter playing GBA game on g1 for liek 4 hours ( 100+ roms).
I got to say the overall experience is much better than SNES game on g1.
you know the G1 screen really make GBA games looks nice, if we compare the screen of g1 to GBA sp screen. yOu will found out that the GBA sp 's screen look kinda dumb.
but most important thing about the GBA games is that they even have games that were made in 2007, 2008.
those newer game are really what make it better to be honest.
OF course if you can plug GBA games on a 20 inch tv, then Snes will look better. Because the resolution on gba game are so low
but on g1 3.8 inch screen, gba games really have better texture , details, colors, and lighting.
to be honest GBA games are perfect for g1

Really? You don't have $4
The emulator runs waaay too slow to be worth the $4. I have played the entire GBA Need For Speed series on my Dell Axim X30 OC'd to 520Mhz with just fine fps, but with this emulator on the [email protected] it;s more like a comics, than a game with fps.
SLOW???
Slow? Come again? I played several games, like Mortal Combat deadly alliance for example, and it was freakin fast - at least 20-25 fps and no noticable frameskip. The sound is very smooth and It's hands down the best emulator for GBA I've used on a mobile device .
Obviously it depends on the game. Need For Speed: Carbon is unplayable. 3-4fps, at best. Metal Slug 2, on the other side is smooth.
When scaled to full screen it is even more slow.

is it because of Hero rom??
I have JF 1.51 adp for reference, clock to 528mhz and use Task Manger to kill idle and background apps.
Almost all GBA games I tried (about 80) play smooth with sound. The games that do not appear to play as smooth as the SNES app are some of the fighting games- but they are still more than playable. Ironic point here: Android Arcade actually plays some of the REAL arcade games smoother than Gamoid or Snesoid... wild.
I have a Dell Axim too (battery hog, but great for quick Excel file review) and that device can not touch the emulators that are on the G1 already.
In fact, even the great Smartgear on WM is not as good as the current emulators on Android. Need GBA and Turbografx now (Smartgear does those well).
I own 120 GBA games and appreciate Gameoid. More than worth $4.

Nervermind I got it, I just don't know where to put the bios file.
Golden Sun: The Lost Age seems to really lag on this emulator. And it restarts as soon as the game begins (after the intro). Waiting for one to come out using the Android NDK.

Anywhere on the SD card should suffice. Just remember where you put it.

I didn't think the nook color would play higher end games, but so far I'm really impressed. I have the following running quite well so far:
Raging Thunder 2
Asphalt 5
N.O.V.A.
Dungeon Hunter
Dungeon Defenders
Krazy Kart Racing
Pool Break Pro
Oh, and the graphically intense Angry Birds and Angry Birds seasons...
It also runs the Snesoid/Gensoid/Nesoid emulators perfectly. I wasn't expecting that just looking at the clockspeed (800mhz)
I'm not surprised because I know that the NC contains the same PowerVR GPU that the Mid-Range Droid X / Droid 2 devices do. I've run "Dungeon Defenders" (first game powered by Unreal Engine and more graphically intense than Angry Birds) and it runs fairly smooth. The high end devices like those of the Galaxy S family have even more powerful PowerVR GPU and run it better of course. The PowerVR GPU model in Apple's products is between the NC and the SGS family if anyone is interested.

The latest generation of Apple products actually use virtually the same processor as the Hummingbird found in the Samsung products. They use the same PowerVR SGX540 GPU.
But Apple seems to set mystery clocks on their A4 chips that appear to vary depending on the device. So the iPad's CPU/GPU appear to be clocked higher than the iPhone's. The iPhone may or may not dynamically clock up though based on what I've read.
An iPad should have identical performance to a Galaxy Tab though as far as raw hardware power goes. Any differences are likely purely in software.

Not quite true, the A4 iOS line is still using a SGX535 (same as the 3GS). Capable GPU, bit better than the 530 on the Nook Color (and Moto Droid line) but not up to par with the 540 on the Galaxy Hummingbird in terms of specs (it's about half as fast as the 540).
But, unlike the 540, the 535 is actually being used for UI acceleration on the iOS devices, giving them that trademark smoothness in everyday use, making iOS devices feel much faster than Android.

From what I could find it's only slightly better than the 530 and merely amounts to a slight clock freq increase... the 540 was PowerVR's big perf change.
Anyways, I'm not surprised that these games run OK given that this is likely the level of hw that they were targeted at. Next year might bring some problems as more games will be targeted at Tegra 2.
game performance of NC is great, but I hate the poor video playback capabilities, I admire Samsung galaxy can play 720p mkv files without any problem because most of my movies are 720p mkv files.

I broke down and picked one up yesterday, but it's going back since I'm finding it way too hard to insert the mini-USB and couldn't manage it at all this morning. Anyways, NC is nowhere near as fast as Tegra 2. It's not bad, definitely better than ARM11, but still... not even close to Tegra 2...
...going to give B&N one more shot at not trying to sell sh!t quality for $250...

(Got a replacement NC. Idiot guy in the store was trying to tell no, thats as far as it goes, it's OK... so I asked got power? Yep. Plug it in. See no nice shiny LED lighting up on the cable... tries their store charger same deal as my cable, tries the demo unit and in it goes...
I tried the new one's cable BEFORE I left the store this time, but when I got home and started it charging I find that I have one with the SUPER sensitive touch screen...)
I haven't been too happy with gaming performance on this. Mostly because many of my games look like this...

They don't play full screen and look bad. That screenshot was from Raging Thunder 2 Lite.
Wonder if the Spare Parts trick we used for the Galaxy Tab will work on the NC.
I'm not rooted* and don't plan to be or I'd test it.
But basically, you install Spare Parts from the Market, fire it up, check Compatibility mode if it is unchecked, or uncheck it if it checked, reboot the device, then un-check or check Compatibility mode one more time, reboot again, and it will start stretching apps to full screen.
*Not rooting because I already have the far more capable, faster, lighter/smaller Galaxy Tab for full-on tablet duties. The dirt cheap Nook Color is probably going to be my dedicated bathroom device (replacing my Kindle WiFi) for throne and tub reading. I won't miss the eInk at all indoors, so the Kindle will now be just for camping trips thanks to its incredible battery life and outdoor-friendly display.

only reason im suprised it runs the "oid" emulators so well is because they run pitifully slow on my android phone running at 600mhz. naturally i concluded that the app required alot of juice to run properly. maybe its a software problem on my phone

Yeah, spare parts & the compatibility setting gets you full screen, or at least in everything that I've tried on various devices so far, and no incompatibilities yet either.

Yeah, you need to do the Spare Parts fix (that's what I did). All of the games I listed play fullscreen (Raging Thunder 2 included) and are the HD versions. They actually look and play great.

LOL! That's probably because it's a Micro-USB rather than Mini-USB. They're similar connectors but are certainly different enough that you won't succeed in inserting one into the other. I certainly wouldn't fault B&N or the NC for that.

It was never advertised as such or intended to be. It's common knowledge (especially here) that the NC only sports a PowerVR 530 (unlike the 535 in the iPad). The Tegra 2 is even faster than the 540. Of course the NC wouldn't be anywhere near as fast. LOL! Perhaps, you should return just return the NC and purchase an actual tablet like the ViewSonic G-Tablet with it's awful screen for much more $$$ instead of an E-Reader if you have such high expectations.

God, I couldn't believe how bad the G-Tablet screen was. Bought one from Office Depot when visiting my family for Christmas, because my Dad fell in love with my Galaxy Tab, and I thought it would make a nice gift for him. The display unit was locked down to the kiosk tight, so I was always looking at it from above in landscape mode.
Lucky for me, I decided to play with it and get it set up for him before wrapping it. Made me sick how bad it was off-angle, not to mention the blizzard of force closes on the very first boot up. Took it back and got him an Acer 10" netbook instead, which he does love.
I'm positive B&N is losing money on the NC, based on what they had to have spent on the display alone. Somebody there bought a clue or two when they opted for high-end parts and farmed out the industrial design to a real design firm. I imagine they've sold thousands upon thousands of these things just on the look and feel, functionality be damned. I know that's why I impulse bought one even though I already own and love a Galaxy Tab.
What is the fix? I am wanting to get magic gem to play full screen. I downloaded spare parts from the market but didn't see any option that would help.

So I am going to make an EPIC thread.
Please post what games you play if on JB or other, also if game lags etc!!
(Only just got my 4X so am just testing games atm, will update OP in a short while )
All games tested by me are using v20a JB Stock, Rooted and removed bloatware, closed running apps before test.

Sent from my LG-P880 using xda premium
Before I factory reseted my phone I installed Real Racing 3, just for fun. No lag at all. But I don't know if maximum quality was set.
Horn is an epic RPG for an epic thread
GTA: Vice City ofc a must-have
and for the toilett i use pinball wizard^^
shadowgun thd, mass effect infiltrator, soulcraft THD, simpsons tapped out, plague inc, NFS mw. all except nfs mw have zero lag, most wanted has some lag when approaching road blocks, and that's about it.
Keep the responses coming, OP to be sorted tomorrow.
Found a little lag in asphalt 7 but RR3 has been great so far.
Will need to retest Asphalt 7 now I have removed all the bloat!!
A few tips....
Root and install root uninstaller, get rid of all LG crap you dont use.
I also removed alot of google stuff I dont use like talk and google+ and turn google now off
Phone seems alot more responsive already.

4x hd games
i find both real racing 3 and ravensword 2 to be great time wasters!
real racing 3 runs great for me (even using the graphics settings app, on highest setting).
ravensword 2 runs great 99% of the time, but i get a small lag when there are plenty of enemies on screen at once (if anyone has this game, try repeatedly pressing jump while walking forward, into sloped sections of boundary walls; mainly outside. i have had fun getting to places i should not by doing this, a bit like climbing super steep mountains on oblivion or skyrim).
hope people comment on some more decent looking 3d paid games. then i'll know if they work well enough on my phone to warrant buying.
cheers!
(my phone; 4x hd; JB, rooted and unlocked bootloader)
Asphalt 7 smooth with no lag
Real Racing 3 smooth on low quality settings with no lag
NFSMW laggy but playable
Real Boxing smooth with no lag
Virtua Tennis smooth with no lag
Those are the heavy games I play.

How did you get RR3 to run great on highest settings? Is it really smooth?
Shadowlands Laggy for me, i really cant enjoy my Tegra
Sent from my LG-P880 using Tapatalk 2
Using v10a original firmware I can play most games without lag, ever since LG have increased thermal protection with each release, ruining gaming experience. Using this with gamebooster 2 on hard gaming, I have played most games above and more without lag, only ones that do are as follows:
Amazing spiderman: Generally low framerate
Need for speed most wanted: not great framerate either but more than playable
Block story: lags more as the game goes on
Dead trigger: Minor hiccups that disappear once a level has loaded properly
Real racing 3: Again playable, if use graphics app on medium is really smooth
And thats it! Everything else runs great:

i didnt want to look like an idiot, so as i have not played RR3 since recent update, i have just had a go on a busy track to make sure its still running good. it is. i dont notice any lagging (in any camera mode or with the rear view/side mirrors)
after updating to JB my phone was just generally slow as hell (the flicking powersaver on and off technique worked, but had to keep doing it every so often), so i though what the heck, and did a factory reset (as many people had suggested in the 4x JB thread). after the reset i just went about scrapping all the bloatware and anything else i dont use; google+, etc... before doing a fresh install my apps/games. and the phone on the whole is generally very fast and smooth (apart from if i enable the screen flip function on JB for the home screen itself = slight lag. but who needs the home screen flipping to landscape anyway).
i use the 'RR3 graphics' app and put it on extra high, and also use the 'CPU master - free' when gaming to keep the CPU from dropping from maximum (although i'm not 100% sure it makes much difference when not using). and the game doesn't seem to have any bouts of unresponsiveness/lag + as far as im concerned runs smooth.
i just tested and got an 'antutu benchmark' score of; 13114 (which places it just above a nexus7 and below a nexus10), this is quite low, compared to a htc oneX or galaxy S3 (both over 15000), but shows that the phone is more than capable for games like RR3.
if your having trouble with lag on your 4X, although i have not felt the need to mess with anything myself, this thread look promising for improving gaming performance; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217990 (all due thanks to the threads creator, and i hope linking like this in within forum rules).
i hear that NFSMW is a good test of a phones gaming ability, maybe ill get it soon and see how it runs for me.
good luck and sorry if i was not much help.

How the hell did you manage to install all these games on internal SD?
Can we swap internal and external cards?
dark meadow
i forgot to mention dark meadow.
i think this game looks lovely and runs great for me (although its 'on rails'; id liken to 'horn', movement system i think slows the games pace a little).
i know this game does not officially 'work' on our phone, but using the app 'device spoofer' form the store you can download properly without any problems (well worth a quid for an app that will let you try out free and paid games that we normally cannot get from the store due to developers choosing not to support our device, but work fine with the phones specs.).
N.O.V.A. 3 -- laggy
Renaissance Blood THD -- laggy
Puddle THD -- little laggy but playable
Tested on V20a

Kind of. This app spoofs a folder on the external sd as a folder in the internal sd, so you can create a folder on external sd, transfer files and make the phone think the files are still in the original folder.

With this and a 32gb sdcard anything is possible

sorry i should have said. i got the crash after the splash screen issue when i initially installed (after unreal logo, etc..). but searched the forum to find the work around.
what worked for me was by installing properly from the store (using 'device spoofer'), then uninstall the app. the uninstall left the sd files still on my device (Internal storage\Android\obb\com.phosphorgames.DarkMeadow....). and then installing the app again using the 'modded for any devices' apk (can find a download using google).
hope this helps.

sorry for any confusion. i should have been more specific. to be honest the main appeal of the game is the way it looks and atmospheric story telling. the gameplay itself gets a bit tedious, especially if you like action or open world.

I will be actively adding more games as I test them. I will update this post accordingly.
All games listed were tested on my rooted Galaxy Gear using null_ 12.
Games installed via the Play Store were done using the Chrome web browser on a home computer, not through the Play Store app on the device.
Not all games work as advertised. Glitches can, and likely will, occur.
Assistance may be requested and offered in this thread. Please be respectful, patient, and understanding. Also, please use and spell out full words as this is a world-wide forum and not everyone speaks english as a first language. Avoid slang. (i.e. Texting-style altered/shortened words like 'u' and 'teh').
Please feel free to provide a list of games that you have installed or played.

i guess gear will be compatibile with a lot of games, thing is, we don't need a list of every working game here. we should post games that are only really playable on small screen! here is my contribution. you play in a small helicopter and all you have to do is touch screen to go higher. simple and addictive!

Added - However, as it states very clearly: This list is for testing and educational purposes. A complete list can not hurt anything. Maybe knowing what games work and which are the most popular will motivate a future game developer. We'll never know if we do not try, right?
Hill climb by fingersoft works

Thank you. Added.
I should state that it is helpful, once again, to follow the format I posted above so it makes it easier to find the games you guys post. You can also post more than one.
Fruit Ninja works too, and actually quite well. Temple Run was hard to hit the jumps and turns btw.
Not on hacked Rom now, but I use Wondershare and download to phone then export, then import to watch. Works well, and since you can have both hooked up at the same time, it is very fast to do.

Good call. Totally forgot to add Fruit Ninja. Thanks! I found Temple Run easier when it wasn't on my wrist. i know that's contrary to how it should be, but ... yeah, there it is.
** added more. Snes9x EX+ was especially fun to test. Works with bluetooth controllers, too.
Added Riptide - Cleaned up list
Mods/Admins: Is it possible this is worthy of a sticky?
Surprising how many games actually work on this super smartwatch. I find the best ones are the ones that use less on screen controls (or simple on screen). Accelerometer games are good.
Angry birds DOES work - but only the older versions (Seasons before 1.42 as an example). The Space and Star Wars series is too late and does not work - they must have changed the game engine by this time presumably to work with the physics.
My installs:
3D Bowling
Angry Birds Original
Angry Birds Seasons
Archery 2
Candy Crush
Chess Genius
Cut the Rope
D Gunners SP
Diversion
Doodle Jump
Dragon Fly
Dumb Ways to Die
Final Fantasy 3 (*Cough*)
Flick Soccer
Flight Control
Fruit Ninja Puss in Boots
Jetpack Joyride
Labyrinth
Mupen 64
Pudding Monsters
Riptide GP / Riptide GP2 (yes, it works.. AWESOME)
Road Trip 2
Rock Runners
Ski Safari
Sniper Shooter (fantastic)
Striker Soccer 2012
Temple Run 2
Tetris (earlier versions)
Uno

I'm 100% certain no game in the Play Store has been made specifically for the Gear. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
Can I ask again that you PLEASE Use this format when posting a game.
Format: NAME OF GAME (PRICE): LINK TO GAME - INSTALL TYPE: MANUAL/STORE
It takes a great deal of time to go through a list. Let's help each other, here.
Thanks
Just to show that the older Angry Birds DOES work if you can still find the APK's for the older versions..

Thanks. Wish I could add them, but I am pretty sure sharing those APKs would be against the site's ToS - Still, nice to know and I may try it. Can you at least share the version numbers?
