Are you joking? Only about half of them were "3D". Most of them were even decent. Sure they aren't Modern Warfare 2 or whatever is popular these days, but IT'S ON A CELL PHONE.
Nice vid, gave me some more games to buy.

I wish Android would crank out some awesome RPG/2d platform games and make retro gaming huge again.
I emailed Hexage and they said they're looking into making a new game like that BUT NO OFFICIAL WORD YET
so Don't go off sayin' and spreadin'

RPG for Android
Baldur's Gate or any BioWare Infinity Engine games would be awesome. Or a remake of Fallout 1 or 2. Both projects have a open source following, aka Pocket Fallout and GemRB but none have pushed anything into the Android market.

great list, might just want to downgrade from my 10mb ram hack to play some of these 3d games =)

thanks you! i didnt know half of these games existed.

where I can find these games for free?
I get the need for speed and put this on app ...but I can run it

Great video!

like those are the best games..

RPG vs Runner games
Since most of users of this forums are development related people, and are at least a bit nerdy, no wonder that they would like some more RPG games, but real money are made not on guys like me and you but on housewifes, which want easy games with cute graphics like.

The (PC) games we play...

Any avid PC gamers here?
I'm going through MoH single player because every other player is sleeping/working... sigh...

I used to be pc gamer but due to my marriage 2 years and the responsibility that came with it I suffer from a constant lack of funds. Therefore I downgraded to a nintendo wii What I miss most on consoles are tactic shooters like Ghost Recon. They simply do not exist on consoles. Yeah there are Ghost Recon games on consoles but the gameplay is completely different.

I was for a while... i got really into rts' more specifically the total war series. Rome total war is still my favourite game of all time.

Hmm.. my history of gaming goes something like this:
Pong -> Atari 2600 -> Intellivision -> (Quarter Arcade Games) -> Sega Genesis -> Nintendo -> Super Nintendo -> Dreamcast -> N64 -> then off to PC Games
Quake -> Quake II - Unreal Tournament -> Half Life -> Counter Strike -> Team Fortress -> UT 2002/03/04 -> Battlefield 1942 -> DC Mod -> Battlefield 2 -> Ultima Online -> Wow
Used to LAN and was able to get all sorts of free gear etc.
Nowdays.. playing on the PS3 casually - just started playing Black Ops - and oooooo boy do I suck at it Dunno wth happened went from MW2 to BO and its like I might as well be playing with Oven Mitts

Yea, a big time gamer from WAAAy back (I even have 5 classic full size arcade games incuding a Ms. Pac and a Star Wars cockpit).
Got em' all PC, PS3, 360, Wii, DS, PSP, and a bunch of other older and cool systems.
I prefer my games on a PC when I can, Just went through Black Ops about 2 weeks ago. Got a Kinect for Xmas, so have been screwing around with that, but, before that, was playing Super Mario Galxay 2, Epic Mickey, Read Dead and a few others.
I'm in the middle of about 4-5 games right now (not finished yet). My wife does not care for gaming and sometimes gives me a hard time but, she understands it. My 2 year old is just too little to grab a controler but, I figure by 3 and 1/2 I'll have someone to play with besides on-line.
Any shooter GTA, COD, or any game of the type, I will only play on the PC, I even waited the 7 months for GTA 4 just to get the PC version.
I have a Core2Quad @ 3ghz(Q9650), 4gb, GTX460 1gb card running Win7...runs almost everything at max that I dump at it.

i forgot to metion Deus Ex and Deus Ex invisible war, anybody played this series? its an unforgetable game, i feel like playing it sometimes these days

WoW and Sims lol

Games Compared To Iphone Games

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 really do hope they catch up, this is my list of PAID apps which are great but i'm a little disapointed at the THD games there are so few to choose from, I thought that the Nvidia Tegra Zone would be packed with great games, and at the moment there are only appox 15 games avaliable and it's been out quite a while now.
Sentinel 3: Homeworld
Samurai II: Vengeance THD
Airport Mania 2: Wild Trips

I think I'll look back on today's video games and feel...

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

Best Video Game Ever

​
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 ?

Golden Sun the lost age
Game Boy Advanced
I'm probably incredibly biased but the game is incredible
