FYI: Here is an email I sent to gameloft and the reply. Hope this helps some people, sure made me happy!
Hello Aaron,
Games will be available for your Evo shortly through and Gameloft.com, the Sprint Zone icon that appears on the home screen of your device.
We hope to have them live in the next two weeks.
Thank you for your continued support

Hello,
I recently bought a Sprint HTC Evo and I want to buy some gameloft games for it because I LOVE gameloft games I have a bunch on my Palm Pre. Anyways, when I go to the website the only option is for Verizon droid, Do I just select that even though Im on Sprint? If not how do I buy and download some gameloft games?
Sounds pretty good

just a random q... How good is the gpu on the evo? Will we just get the standard gameloft ports or actual games made specifically for it like the iphone?

the iPhone is a different beast...limited hardware specs to design for allows games to be designed for just it. Android is such a diverse market, I would doubt games would be designed "just for the evo". The Evo's market share isn't THAT big.
However, a number of newer android devices *are* getting good graphics chips in them (including the evo) and there are already games out there that have stated they will not work well on older hardware (Pre-N1 basically).
Thanks for the info...;
Just wondering since I had not heard to much discussion about it.. Personally I think those gameloft games are usually junk.. lets see though

Some of them are really good, Westside (It's like Grand Theft Auto) And Hero of Sparta are pretty awesome, Gameloft actually has some of the best games out there for phones. I just don't understand why they wont put them on the marketplace instead of only selling them through thier website they would sell tons more if more people knew about them and they could easily get them from the marketplace.
I've been playing dungeon hunter all day... Works great.

I don't know why they don't use the market either, or have demos.

gameloft games r not gonna b as good as the iphone's gameloft games for the evo.iphone has its own seperate GPU for 3d games thats y gameloft games on iphone r pretty heavy IPA files from 50mb to 200 mega bytes and very quality 3d graphics, i just WISH that HTC one day puts its own GPU as well, for the heavy 3d games.
hey i just hit gameloft.com from my evo and there are a bunch of games now available for purchase, 5 bucks each. it's not all of the android games though, missing dungeon hunter for example. but looks like u can get nova and gangstar
Whats the point of this super powerfull GPU when there are absolutely noooooooo games or applications that take advantage of it. NO GAMES for android what so ever!!!!!
Im honestly starting to think android is snot! Anyone else thinking about making a change to Windows Phone 7???
I'll think about WP7 when there are actual devices coming to Verizon, but I have seen no indication that they are going to be any better off on games. Just because they tout XBox Live being built in does not mean they have anything down the road.
Well iD software just hired a android programmer.

OP, I figure that once you learn how to type, spell, & understand good forum etiquette; you'll actually get a clue that Android is too "geeky" for you. There are plenty of games & many more to come as the platform & hardware mature but you're stuck with making a troll thread that serves no one here.
I think your thinking is backwards. Its this kinda leap in gpu that finally encourages devs to make more graphically heavy games. Why would they design something for a phone that cant run it well.
With all these new smartphones pushing out amazing cpu and gpu's im sure that we will see some major game companies step up to the bat and start designing for android .. just like they did with iphone once it could support it.
Also remember for many people android is the new baby, just became popular a couple years ago. And look at what has been done. I have owned many windows smartphones that have hads YEARS more time to dev and ive seen way less come out of them.
So yeah, go ahead and switch but i bet in 6-8 months you will be regretting it!
First off...Android phones Ive had.....Moto Droid, Htc Eris, Nexus One, Htc Incredible, Droid X...and now Fascinate.....So please dont tell me what Android is.
And Angry Birds is the simplest game in the world. Yes its fun to pass time....but any Android Phone can run it!!!! ANY!
Im not *****ing and moaning.... well maybe I am just a bit. But come on guys read the post....I said the GPU is overrated because there is nothing that takes advantage of it.....and the wait for OS Updates is ridiculous ....You all know this to be true!!!
Fragmentation is a *****!!
There will be no games or apps built specific for android that will not be built for Iphone....there all ports!!!!!! So please explain the point of the of a stonger GPU than Iphone? Hardware acceleration aside......Opera Browser might be the exception!!
Well a good gpu isn't just for games. It makes for a better browsing experience, better framerates with live wallpapers.
Also I'd like to add that if you bought an Android phone with the slightest amount of research involved you would have known that it isn't a great gaming platform. If games were any priority, you wouldn't have bought an android phone.
Troll harder next time.

I linked you to games.
Quite whining about fragmentation. That's just a buzz word people like to use instead of the real reason for not creating a product.
So what if there are no games built specifically for Android? Your point would be what? The fact remains that there are games for Android even if your not happy with them.
You could always move to the iPhone. Maybe that would make you feel better.
No games take advantage of the GPU.
Thats funny.
I've been checking out the psx emulator lately. It runs extremely smooth on this phone. And there are like 700 games to download for free in the rom buddy app. I'm pretty sure that takes advantage of the bad ass gpu. There are also emulators for several other classic game systems. I grew up playing that stuff, so it's pretty fun to go back to.
And sure we're waiting for froyo, but I don't mind the wait. Fragmentation is only a ***** to those too whiny and impatient to wait for a minimal upgrade. If you're not happy with thee phone now, froyo probably isn't going to be the miracle to change your mind.
Just suck it up and go buy your iPhone... Like all the other dumb girls that roam Jobs' pastures.

Could you please not post here anymore? I have yet to see you type anything on the forums that isn't *****y, whiny, or full of mistaken entitlement. What have you contributed to the community that you deserve anything?
If you want games, froyo or OS updates, wait patiently or go do it yourself. Or better yet, buy a WP7 or iphone and get out of here.
I have multiple games that take advantage of the gpu

To say there is no games is ignorant.
Is there as many games as iphone?
No. but to say there is none is wrong.
A simple google search for 3d android games will prove you wrong also

Win7 Phone will not make much of a splash. It's simply not that impressive. Usually, software companies are not pre-emptive in their design. This is the first round of devices with this level of capability, the apps will follow.

Hello fellow Blackstone users/fans,
I don't know how many people here play Crysis 2, but as you can tell from the topic apparently our phones were so popular that even Crytek has not forgotten how awesome it was.
Okay, I'm not going to say they endorse HTC or anything, but while playing through the game I looked at the scenery (which I never do) and noticed a cell phone. I thought to myself why it looked familiar till I got a phone call and then realized the resemblance.
I was playing the game on my ps3, so if the phone somehow looks like a different one on the PC with Very High Graphics... I'm sorry.
Sorry if this seems like a troll topic...
I was just too happy and wanted to share my excitement about my discovery.
Thank you,
lilhugo

There was a version out for the LG Nitro, but I dont think sideloading that worked well on the S II. There might be a new version out for it now though
ya played it graphics are worst when compared to the iphone version..........
im a big fan of street fighter iv.. and after playing the android and iphone version, i laughed hard because the Nintendo 3DS version is a lot better than this poor effort, even if the 3DS version has static backgrounds, at least it's stereoscopic.. and the 3DS version is the SUPER version by the way.. so more characters with 2 ultra combos each and bonus stages..
how many years has it been since this was released on the iphone? capcom didn't took the time to polish the game further or make it even at par with the 3DS version since capcom already developed a mobile version of the MT framework engine..

Why would they -
1) The 3DS version will sell way more than Android at a much higher price.
2) why spend time and money developing something you know won't play that well on most devices due to touchscreen controls?

Well, this is awkward ... cracked before released ? lol
It's available for the LG Nitro, which was then modified to work on other resolutions
Which ver to get? Wvga or hvga?
If you want to use it on an S2 (which I assume since you are posting here) you should get the WVGA version. HVGA is for Half VGA, 320x480px screen.
lol i wonder how many screens will crack because of this game... Street Fighters and King of Fighters series owe me few keyboards and joysticks already
if its released officially then how many chances that our mali gpu can supports full of quality graphics as in iphone version.....?????
It took too long for them to release for Android, they should have release Tekken vs Street Fighter or Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom instead.
When is the official release date.
My thoughts are it will come some games are are already ported. Reason for porting? Since pspvita came psp games were being sold less now how r they going to pick up slack for psp games easy amdroid!
psvita*. excellent theory good sir
thank you
we are update now

Psp games are getting cheaper cause the PSVita (and games are being launched)
So the low prices will be sold on the android market as well, therefore sony still makes some good money from android users on older PSP games.
jeah but it is also good for us. we have full price psp games with high qualety grafics and gameplay. I never had a psp so the games are like brand new for me.
