hi guys,
honestly speaking..the games preloaded on xperia make me feel like i am in year 2002 when O2 Xda was around.
in todays world when PC has high def games.. mobile phones like N95 or N82 having 3D games..why cant Xperia have some decent games which can cater to Gaming enthusiasts.
Solitaire, bubble breaker, bejeweled also..these games are very lame for a Gamer like me..even during year 1998 i used to avoid them and play Dave or Wolf 3D..what i like are 3D car racing games or 2D games which are like RPG.
Some type of games i would love to play on Xperia:
Racing games, Sports (Tennis), shooter..or any other BUT the default games.
the optical joystick has a huge huge potential as an input interface for such games.
but are there any games on Xperia?
Buh, don't bother searching for games for at least another six months. None of the cool apps (Genesis/SNES/GBA Emulators, Open Source Games, DosBox, ScummVM) support WQVGA and WVGA resolutions, which is pretty frustrating since my older phones did support most of them but lacked the inputs and processing power of the Xperia.
I hope some developers see the light and will support widescreen resolutions in the near future.
Oh, and you could try WVGA-Fix, it wil blank 1/3 of the X1's screen, giving you a VGA resolution which is better supported. But IMO that is not the 'right' solution.
So far, I found only the two preinstalled Astraware Games (strange, they don't seem to offer them on their site for other WVGA devices like the Touch HD), Quartz2, and Spore Elements to really support the WVGA resolution.
Most other games only use the VGA part, leaving a part of the screen either black or with the previous contents. Only a few games don't run at all or not usable, like most of pdaMill's games (they're currently looking for a solution to that...).

I'd noticed that too
I just found this list of wvga games
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462217
BTW is there a way to get out of a game if it is not in full screen and I get stuck? Other than reset by taking off the cover? My fingernails are all gone now from resets and so I'm hoping there is an easier way since the hardware buttons don't have their normal functions while in a game. THANKS!
I'm running a list of games that i have installed and running on my Xperia without problems. There are around 12 Java games that support WVGA and a few native WM games as well... along with those that run in VGA but in full-screen (with part of hte screen black).
To check out the list: http://xperiancer.blogspot.com/2008/12/gaming-on-xperia-part-1.html
I'll be posting part 2 tonight with more games that i found to work on Xperia... only those in WVGA.
also... you guys might wanna try out ScummVM. Not in full WVGA (i.e. runs in VGA) but awesome games compatibility!
tomb raider
actually tomb raider works very well on the x1, ok its not wvga, but its still quite good, and its free...give it a roll...

Tried it already... it does work great, but didn't it show the previous window outside its resolution? (i.e. instead of showing a black screen in the remaining area, it shows the previous screen like file explorer or today screen there)
Tomb Raider worked brilliant on the Wizard so it hardly shows off the X1.
Sadly the "power" of the X1 is not exactly showing itself off when it comes to games. All the emulators suck IMO due to a lack of adequate (or possibly enabled at all?) graphics acceleration.
I mean come on, you should be able to at LEAST emulate a Game Gear at full speed/framerate with full sound. A 486 DX2/66 could do that for crying out loud. If the X1 was THAT slow it wouldn't be able to support video like it does, even if that support still sucks too.
I love my X1, but when it comes to games/emulators or video playback it downright sucks. People claiming it "plays fine" because they get 14fps are insane, fine is full framerate, pathetic is anything lower.
^ Welcome to HTC's latest releases. Though tbh the problem lies with Qualcomm if you've followed the whole saga from the Kaiser's time. There are efforts to develop drivers in this Blackstone thread as the chipsets on HTC Diamond/Raphael/Blackstone/Kovsky are all very similar. Please, please contribute here if you are a developer or have any background in such things:

Though i have been unable to get any Sega or Nintendo emulator to work god... but ScummVM games are working without any glitch (but then my iPhone played those great too)... and then there are other games too that are great at playback and quality.
Tomb Raider probably doesn't speak well for the device, but if you try other games such as Syberia - they work simply awsome! No lag during videos in the game and slowdowns, etc.
I do however agree that the true potential of gaming on Xperia is yet to be discovered.
Yeah I had suspected that was the case when GLBenchmark refuses to run any 3D benchmarks for me, plus the poor results from the people who did get it to work.
Its one of those unfortunate things I only found out about AFTER I bought my X1 and was left wondering if it was true or not, because nobody seems to mention it in the X1 forum.
However, I bought my X1 as a phone, calendar/alarm and web browser when out and about. To be fair, it does all those things pretty well and even plays music at very good quality so I no longer have to take my MP3 player around with me. I was also pleased at the camera quality considering it had already been said its below-par for a Sony Ericcson phone. It works better in low light than my Canon S3 IS so long as I can keep it steady long enough for the slow software to do its stuff.
Keeping on subject though, why do they keep insisting on putting crap digital pads on phones/PDAs? I would be more inclined to play games on it if it had a DS style D-Pad or something. These weird shaped ones just don't work especially as there are never buttons in a good enough place either. I couldn't be bothered playing Tomb Raider on my Wizard because the buttons were too uncomfortable/unreliable to avoid dying.
The irony is Nokia got it right, they were just a little too early and a little too clunky to gain the popularity they needed. But the X1 like many others totally could have delivered, but then of course Sony don't want to be competing with the PSP so limiting the controls and 3D support could very well be deliberate.
ScummVM should be brilliant if supporting the resolution. I have tried it on various portables and never found it worked very well, not always because of slowdown but because there was never enough pixels on the screen to fit everything you need. In general ScummVM games do not push the graphics hard so the X1 should indeed be fine. Its just annoying that I, like many others, read that the X1 had 3D acceleration so were excited at this prospect. Only to be disappointed to find its locked down.
Ah well, Android and Linux in general should change everything, eventually. It puts the power back in the end-users hands where it belongs so that if they fail to deliver drivers some clever open-source hackers will figure it out. Its just a bit pathetic that ATI/AMD are so pro open-source on PC but we get locked out on mobiles presumably because Qualcomm are greedy SOBs.

Hmmm... Xperia has a good 3d chip + hardware acceleration, but alas! few games realize the potential yet. Hopefully we'll see more soon.
But is anyone even using the modified 3D accelerated driver on their X1? Is it stable if they are?
I would expect to find it mentioned in the performance thread if it was working.
Really pathetic...
my W800i had tennis, 3D racing, and black hawk down like games and all freely available.
but for Xperia..none of those kinda games
Where can I find Tomb raider?
Is there a nice Columns clone that works with the X1s resolution?

Ummm... well don't know about Tennis, but you have GT Racing for Xperia and Snow Rally City Stage 1.1.
Will post info on more games on my blog later tonight.
Hi,
Good racing game???
I think majority would say "Raging Thunder 2"
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/com.polarbit.rthunder2/
But, does it worth the price tag?
I meant, recently I bought some good quality Android games like:
- Jewellust
- Radiant
They are nice and good, well made ... but TOO SHORT.
Jewellust contains only 25 levels and my wife finished it in just couple of hours.
Radiant (the casual mode) is also too short, I finished in couple of hours.
And game like Jewellust does not offer much of "replay value".
For Radiant, I can replay and try using different weapon for example.
So, if you bought RT2, what do you think?
Thanks.
Tried it yesterday, not bad, it even has working multiplayer
Can't tell you to buy it or not, since I really rarely play games on my Desire
Bought it a few days back, and it's worth every penny if you like racing games. Really enjoying playing it. Works better than Asphalt5 for me (smoother, better sensor control).
Bought yesterday ... and it is well worth it.
Graphics is stunning, no lag, super fast and fluids.
Replay value is great.
But a bit difficult to me. I think I need some practice or I am just plain sucks at this kind of control
It takes a bit of getting used to. Best to practise on the Instance Race option and then start the Career Mode. The controls are pretty good; dont forget, the 'free' cars are not spec'd up that well compared to the ones you 'pay' for- these handle and perform far better.
Remember most of these games cost only a few dollars. If you are looking for engaging, great graphics, high amount of gameplay hours, I would suggest XBOX 360, PS3, PSP, NINTENDO DS.
It killed my battery playing it and I found that the only times I would be able to play it properly is when I am at home, where my Xbox360 is lol.. On the train its kind of difficult and I couldn't afford to loose battery for it. Personally, Totemo, Flight Frenzy and Fishin' 2 Go are the best games I have experienced playing. Radiant is good fun as well but my time is really spent on those 3, the occasional game on Scrabble/Buka too. Totemo is my favourite though Graphics on Flight Frenzy are just mind blowing, I am praying more games like that come out. Its perfect for our phone
How do you get the Scrabble game?
I can't find it in the market...

Its not on the marketplace which confused the hell out of me after seeing it in the 100 android video. So I googled it and just installed it outside the marketplace.. Didn't see any alternative =/ Its incredibly simple though
Homerun is a good one too.. beautiful 3d graphics, good gameplay, really longlife game but just think its a bit hard..
RT2 is worth it, gets a lot harder towards the end, customizing cards for different performance types is great and there's lot of shortcuts in levels.
Ashphalt 5 is a piece of **** that gets 10 frames a second.

Just started playing it the other day. Got to admit, its tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, god its good fun.. Only online though, offline is a bit pointless until your good. Must admit, some people are pretty awesome at it, which annoying at first lol. Deffo work a look though!
To be honest, one of the major reasons I will be buying a tablet is for the games. For me it goes reading, games and movies... and not necessarily in that order. However, I have cruised the forums a bit and not found a truly definitive answer.
To put it frankly, I'm a RPG buff. From the SNES to the PS1, I love the genre. However, I am leery of the very high resolution of the N10 versus the look of the older games (SNES for example). I remember seeing a spreadsheet somewhere, where it listed Chrono Trigger as only appearing at 1/4th the size of the screen and crashing. This saddened me, and can potentially be a deal breaker in regards to me finalizing in buying this tablet.
Is there a way around what could be horrible looking old school games on such a high res display? And is there a way to get Chrono Trigger to work (its one of my favorites :< ).
Thank you for the help.
If a game only appears on 1/4 of the screen then that is the emulators fault, as is any crashing. Whatever emulator it was is most likely not designed to be run on a wide range of devices and resolutions and just needs to be updated for the Nexus 10's hardware.
I have been using MyBoy lately and while I havent tested explicitly tested Chrono Trigger, all games that normally work in the emulator work just the same on my phone, 7" tablet, or Nexus 10. The only difference is screen size.
I used to use anima online SNES. I am currently trying snes9xex. I set it to full screen instead of 16:9. Honestly doesn't look that bad. Here is secret of manager.
I will add I've beaten super metroid using the HDMI out of the tablet to my tc the entire play though. Also I beat super Mario RPG on the tablet strictly.
The games look great, full screen is a little stretched but its really not that bad. I personally was in the same situation as you when I wanted to buy it for those exact purposes. Once six axis updated to support android 4.2 I was loving every minute of it.

That's the Chrono Trigger port for Android that has problems on a lot of tablets. I played Chrono Trigger on a real emulator on the N10 and it worked just fine. Nearly done with the game and it looks absolutely great.

How to fix Chrono Trigger on the Nexus 10:
Turn on game. Press home button. On home screen rotate 180 degrees to the other landscape side.
Then turn off auto-rotate. Force close the game through the task manager and turn the game on again.
Thanks guys . You helped me solidify my choice in purchasing this tablet, along with all the video reviews and posts I've watched on here. Hopefully you'll see me on it soon!
Hello there before my XZ I had a xperia play but because of its outdated hardware(still a great phone though) I needed a upgrade but gaming is a big factor on my phone and I couldn't find a gaming Thread for the xperia z and since android has so many awesome games and the z is capable of handling these very well I thought to make a dedicated gaming Thread!
If your like me and have a moga pocket/pro I will also mark compatible moga games also, and if you request I will upload my GKP files for gamekeyboard for touch only games that I have set up with my moga pro!
I would include games with ps3 controller support too but I don't have a ps3 (Xbox FTW) so if people are kind enough to inform me I will add this too =)
And please also tell me what games your playing and I will try and and include them aswell!
I'll start the list with my games!
Aftermath XHD (MOGA)
Fun little zombie shooter game with great gameplay
Asphalt 7 (Moga)
Runs great everyone knows this game
Looking forward to asphalt 8
Alien vs Predator (MOGA)
The classic films made into a android game and really well too can play this for hours and nice graphics too
Bounty hunter: Black dawn
Funky fun FPS nice graphics and fun gameplay and I love the music not played it that much yet but hoping for MOGA support soon! BUT trying to set up a gkp
The Bards Tale (MOGA)
Has me in stitches laughing a fun RPG with good gameplay and a beautiful game aswell (I downloaded the 3.5GB Hd version though)
Bladeslinger
Beautiful graphics but I find combat quite repetitive and slow looks good with some cool looking bosses items are a bit overpriced though
I do like the swipe to slice with your sword though!
Bounty Arms (HID?)
Absolutely beautiful graphics but that's about it really gameplay is abit meh, supposed to be HID support it wouldn't recognise my moga in HID mode though but others have reported it does work
Brootherhood of violence (MOGA)
Nice graphics not had much time to play it though!
Carmageddon
Retro graphics (to me anyway) Fun, violent and destructive! Will set up gkp asap
Call of duty: Black ops zombies
Some graphical glitches in menus on my XZ but in game runs fine screaming for controller support though! I have set up a gkp but it's not perfect will upload if requested
Conduit HDMOGA)
Appears as incompatible with the z but does work flawlessly download apk (it's free) then purchase full game through app (£3.21)
One of my favourite games atm nice graphics and gameplay and I like the storyline aswell
Crazy taxi (MOGA)
Great game from a great console and ported to android it a great fashion smooth as butter looks beautiful and is still as fun/crazy as I remember!
Dead trigger (MOGA)
If you don't have this game go get it now it's free! Nice graphics (on max) good gameplay (can get repetitive though) but loads of guns to get/upgrade and with some crazy guns aswell!
Drift mania 2 (MOGA)
If you don't have a MOGA controller I would skip this one, but there is a light version to try!
Ok graphics but what's more fun than drifting? - actually a lot
Dungeon hunter 4 (MOGA)
Another fremium gameloft game with nice graphics, a ok story line and hours of hacking and slashing. Does get better the better armour/weapons you have.
Epoch
Nice graphics unique(ish) gameplay and pretty nice graphics can get abit repetitive sometimes though.
Expandable rearmed (MOGA)
Never played it on the dreamcast and I don't know why! One of my (many) favourite games atm and playing with the MOGA makes it so much better!
Final Fantasy 3
The DS port not played it much (my girlfriend does though) and she loves it, very cute graphics
Gangster Vegas (4)
Good graphics, massive map, gameplay not too bad (but I'm waiting on controller support) some bugs as all new gameloft games but pretty solid game overall
Gangster Rio (3) (MOGA)
It's ok, graphics are ok, gameplay is pretty poor though I wouldn't recommend as there are better style games now
GTA 3 (MOGA)
^^ Nuff said. But plays great and still as good as it was back in the day
GTA Vice city (MOGA)
^^ again Nuff said, completed on my xperia play and again (on max graphics) on my xperia z
If you don't have this games you must get it!!
House of the dead overkill: Lost Reels
I love this game, my favourite touch screen game so far, tried to map with gamekeyboard to no avail, but still it's got nice graphics, good gameplay and I can play for hours and is very repayable. I highly recommend
Max Payne (MOGA)
Never played it on any other platforms so can't compare it to them but still love this game with my moga, a deep story line and can be very chilling at time (walking across blood level) Another highly recommended game
Modern combat 4 (MOGA)
Most people have heard or seen this but it's the best COD like game we have until MC5 (maybe not best FPS) campaign is quite short but it's all about online! (to me anyways)
NOVA 3 (MOGA)
Halo clone really and pretty good game made better by MOGA controller campaign is quite long but online isn't as good as MC4
Need for speed: Most wanted
Screaming out for controller support (it is xplay optimised) but ok racing game non the less, could have made it a lot better though (free roam) Nice graphics and sound
Order and chaos online
Again screaming for controller support, but great game I enjoy playing it (can be addictive) even if they do want you to but in game currency can be achieved without
Ravensword:shadowlands (MOGA)
Loove this game it's not a perfect RPG and is quite short and the storyline is abit meh, but you will still enjoy travelling the world and exploring the beautiful scenery and upgrading your character, it's the android skyrim until they (crescent moon games) release a sequel
Rayman Jungle run
Rayman! It's looks great on our 1080p display and is a great time killer
Real boxing (MOGA)
Beautiful graphics, pretty good gameplay, I like the career mode which is quite long 60ish fights. Multiplayer would be nice though--might just be me but I find it harder to dodge with the moga.
Real racing 3
Pretty boring (to me anyways) at first and without spending real money, but once you unlock the supercars becomes a lot more fun. Still a good racing simulator with nice graphics
-I have gkp for this aswell if you want it just ask=)
Resident evil 4
Got a English version of game from Internet, pretty good love the resident evil series so nice to play on my phone
Real football 13 (MOGA)
Nice graphics, gameplay pretty terrible though and no moga analogue support fifa 12 is better
Ricky charmichael's motocross
Love this game purely for the Multiplayer, really fun and competitive, good graphics
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes I know I overuse brackets (haha)
Sorry if I go on about the MOGA a lot too but I do love it...
Would like to hear others opinions about games listed too!
!!!! More games incoming!!!
Please suggest things to make it better improve the list and also tell me what games your playing!!!
Only a small amount of my games, I will constantly update list with new games and update reviews the more I play them.

When I saw that you came from the xperia Play,I had to contribute to this thread...I still love the phone and think its the most underrated device ever,especially now that nvidia came out with project shield which is the stupidest thing ever but thats off topic...
Anyways some of my current games:
Mini Motor Racing Xperia
-Great gameplay,easy but thats what I want from a mobile game.
Kingdom Rush
-Fun tower defense game,looks great in full hd and is just the right amount of challenging
Jetpack Joyride
-It was great on the xperia play,but still awesome on a 5'' screen
Slingshot Racing
-Its cool and all,but gets boring pretty quickly,I mostly play it with friends now
Shadowguneadzone
-Great competitive fps,I discovered that I have a talent for this game...play me some time
Super Stickman Golf 2
-Amazing Game,so addictive,and looks simple but great.
Spirit
-Looks trippy and can get you playing for hours
Voxel Rush
-Pretty simple,looks cool and you can always compete with your friends since is easy to pick up
Ready Steady Bang
-Dead Simple,download it and play it with a friend.
Crazy Taxi
-Playing this all the time,it feels nostalgic and I cant get tired of it after playing on countless systems all these years.
GelaTennis
-Kinda weird at the beginning,but once you get the hang of it,it can be a blast.
I got lots more,but these are my top several at the moment. It's 4 am,but if this takes of ill put play store links and all that pazzaz
I Refuse to play games that do not save your progress amongst devices. Its by far and away my biggest bugbear with android.
thus i'm stuck playing games like candy crush and temple run 2.
As soon as developers get off their fat lazy asses and start allowing cloud saves, then i will start parting with my hard earned cash and playing more involved and better games.
But until then, they can go do one. I ain't wasting my time and money on a game, only to have to start all over again on a different device.
if anyone knows if there is a a definitive list of android games that allows you to cloud save, please provide a link. thanks.

Doom 3 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein played with an Ipega or PS3 pad (depending on whether I'm at work or at home), plus just about every emulator going. Like you guys I upgraded from a PLAY but still use that a lot too.
Waiting for the next update for Project S.T.A.L.K.E.R; one of my favourite games on the PC being ported to Android.
Anyone figured out how to map hard keys to NFS Most Wanted? Still use my PLAY for this game as the touchscreen controls don't cut it for me.
Despicable me, Airport scanner, men in black 3, subway surfers are some really nice games

Anyone figured out how to map hard keys to NFS Most Wanted? Still use my PLAY for this game as the touchscreen controls don't cut it for me.

I can't even play the game on my device, how did you manage to make it work?

I'm pretty sure I downloaded it through Sony Select when the EA Games 90 Days for Free offer was on, though I can't see it listed now. The Google Play version is still incompatible with the Z, as you probably know.
The 90 days offer must have expired as I just paid another £5 to continue playing it on my Z...and still without joypad support (I must be mad).
You could try the method in this link, though I can't vouch for whether it works or not:

There is a version of NFS MW with Joypad support (HID) out there
But the bad news is that it's from the Samsung app store and so will need to find someone with a Samsung device and transfer it manually.
I managed to get a copy from my other half's galaxy s4 and works fine on my Z (I own the Google Play version but as not compatible and does not have pad support what's the point of using that one).
More info if want yourself - The version is v1.5.01 but was offered as a free exclusive offer on the Samsung app store (not sure if same version still on the market but you may be able to find elsewhere).
I belive this version was used also for Samsung to demo there new external controller but it works perfectly with any HID controller (Need to change to the controller option in the settings to activate it)
EDIT - Here's the version demoed at a show (Video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZyUOgT8RAM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Just wish E.A would make controller support a mandatory option in all there games as seams them and Square Enix are the last big company developers to see that people want to play with other options then just touchscreen.
Hope by this helps

Yeah the build prop edit doesn't work anymore. You can download it and all, but it will crash:s
Reaper is the game that's been taking up my time! Amazing little RPG and it looks great! You guys should definitely play it when you get a chance if you haven't already!
How are you guys doing?
I have been looking for watches lately, and I decided I want to get one but not sure where to start since there are a billion watches out there.
My price range is approx 100-170 dollars.
I figured i'd ask you guys which watches would be best.
The main reason why I am wanting a watch is because they banned watches from my work, and I am addicted to a game called "brave frontier" so it would be awesome to play that game on it.
I need the watch to:
Work with sim card
Play brave frontier
Best battery life
Please post up which watch you think I should get and WHY.
And, my favor, can someone please take a picture of what the game "brave frontier" looks like on one of these watches? I want to know if its playable or not being that the screen is tiny.

Huh? Never heard of a company banning playing games while "WORKING". Just ludicrous...?...lol
Now to answer your question...I have tested every name brand SW and quite a few Chinese "no names". Games are near impossible to play on this screen size. And due to the lack of a quality GPU, many games won't even boot or run.
Example: I tried an early APK of the original angry birds on the Omate TS Xtreme and was not impressed at all.
I took a look at Brave Frontier... Looks like a game that not only is going to need high-end specs, but also a decent screen size. In the developer's FAQ'S, this game was designed for the newer, modern devices with a minimum of 1GB of RAM and noted that even the LG G2 has issues with smooth game play and excessive heat.
I was going to mention the Neptune Pine as a possibility with its 2.5" screen, but they have yet to confirm a 1GB RAM model. However, your budget is not going to get one of these on your wrist. The good news, for you, is the Pine has now been delayed to an October release... Maybe you can put away a few more Benji's by then.
Other than that, spec wise, the AI Watch has hardware that rivels most decent phones, but sports only a 240x240, 1.5" display. In addition, I would imagine that you would have to do a Xposed mod on the game to work within those dpi limitations...if you got it to run, that is.
Sorry I can't give you better news... But it won't be long before something will pop up. Keep your eye on the Pine. Good luck.

Uhhh.... you pretty much answered all my questions literally perfectly....
Thank you for everything I appreciate it all.
you are saying that these watches can't really play anything that complex, but on the zgpax hes playing emulators and what not.

And there are other youtube vids of people playing pretty 3d games. I wonder if it would work on that watch...
I am still curious if someone on here could just try the game out to see what it was like.... just for fun y'know? (ASWELL, in the game, you can turn down the quality and all the graphics to just have a bare bones game)
Being able to play games (Dreamcast running on mine) and being able to play them well are two different things. If the game uses device buttons, gameplay will be near impossible. If the game uses onscreen controls, gameplay suffers significantly. Angry birds, which has pretty much minimal onscreen controls, is still pretty much useless on the tiny smartwatch screen. Any game with more than one or two buttons ends up having the screen covered with your fingers. Even Angry Birds you spend most of the time with the screen covered by your fingers.
You want an easy example of how the gameplay will be for any game. Find a screenshot of the game and print it out the size of the watch's screen and put your fingers on the onscreen buttons.

makes sense, the game in question (brave frontier) does not have any buttons, but an auto play button which i would be using. which is why i am curious how it runs and looks.
