here where to get them
http://www.gameloft.co.uk/download-games/android/most-recent/
£5 though, what a rip!
to be fair there arent many games on android to match gameloft standard. having said that i just installed real football and the passing and shooting is hit n miss....pardon the pun. anyone else had a try??
I saw NFS Shift popping in at google i/o, maybe that's what was planned?
Tried to look for it but couldn't find anything... they were demonstrating apps2sd on Froyo and showed a sd transfer for NFS shift, 50Mo worth of racing heaven...
Yer nf shift is due in June, making a big deal about it i think, will be good though

It's because the Desire doesn't really have multi touch, just pinch to zoom. Maybe Froyo can relieve this, but apparently it's a limitation of the screen.

thought as much. cause shoot/pass work better when you let go of control pad. cheers
i think your referring to the Gameloft games, but they were released on May 10th
Cool, i was expecting more tbh, well cheaper at least.
As far as the multitouch somewhere, with the new 2.2 update i think
i read somewere saying the new keyboard has mutli touch support??
So maybe it is a software issue.
I tried most of these games out and they are very choppy on the Desire. They are not optimized well for the Snapdragon processor. They work well on the Droid though, since the games were ported from the iPhone and both the iPhone and Droid/Milestone share the same Cortex A8 CPU.
I think the new games coming out are actually meant to be used on Android that has the JIT compiler. Would be nice to see some higher end games on Android.

there actually really cheap, i visited their US site, it said $6.99 but when it finally came to buying the game, it went down to $3.00, this applied to all games.
can anyone still download those games for the Desire from the gameloft website? apparently they changed that... or is it just me?
most of the games are only available for the Nexus One, and some only for the Droid/Milestone...

The Desire does have "real multi touch", the screen can register more than 1 touch at the same time.
The problem you're talking about is a hardware problem (Froyo won't fix it), which occurs when moving in oppsite directions simultaniously on the screen. Which is hardly used in games I've seen so far.
It is a problem in games which use two "virtual joysticks" in the bottom left and bottom right corner of the screen... like ToonWarzs for example. In that game, moving and aiming at the same time is quite painful on the Desire.
But I think its not a big deal. Few games actually need two directional pads.
And even if they do, the pads could simply be placed in the bottom left and top right corners, instead of both being on the bottom of the screen.
This would avoid the multi touch problem, since it only occurs when your fingers cross each others horizontal or vertical axis.
But Im not sure if developers will get that...
Hey guys, where can I get some nice games for the new toy? On Android Market there aint' that much, and on the Samsung Store the only one available is Asphalt 5.
Where do you people go to look for games? I've seen a lot of videos with people testing N.o.v.a. on the Galaxy S but where did they get it?
http://www.gameloft.com, I downloaded the motorola Droid versions since there are no Galaxy versions. Workin just fine. Downloaded NOVA and Modern Combat: Sandstorm there.

Thanks! I'll check it oout right away.
if you have other suggestions, please share them!
How do u find gaming in GalaxyS? Is the sensor accurate?
I'm concerned since I really like playing in the Iphone and I hope its as much fun
You can always use an emulator like gameboid and others to emulate everything from nes to gba games, I find that a gba game offers a lot more depth than the average ios/android game, also brings back the feeling from the old days .
The gaming experience is really smooth on the Samsung. This is where the superamoled really is good. I think there are som vids on youtube where a galaxy runs nova and modern combat. Might want to check those out

can you please confirm if gameboid works and the SNES emulator? i heard it doesnt pick up the roms properly.......
ZUMA would look nice on this phone
GameBoid not working for me, at leat it didn't the one time it installed before I had to factory reset the phone again (stupid download unsuccessful error - can't install apps!).

It appears it doesnt work properly, atleast gameboid doesnt, hangs after I select the rom (it shows the image where I last saved and hangs there with distorted sounds, however the application still works, I can still press menu and go to settings etc). It did work fine on my htc desire before, so I'm gonna try some things to make it work.
The snes emulator works great, played mario kart the other day.
the gba one doesn't however
Anyone else find asphalt 5 doesnt have a particularly good fps? raging thunder 2 and all the other games seem to be 60fps. Looking forward to games to start using ogl 2.0
Asphalt 5 is not really optimized, it performs horribly on pretty much every device out there.
The motorola droid runs is pretty well, but ONLY the droid.
As for the rest of the games- Everything that works on the droid/milestone will work on the Galaxy S
All current mobile processors are based on Cortex A8 with ARMv7 instruction sets, and both devices contain SGX series 5 graphics. The difference between 530 and 540 doesn't really matter, pretty much the same driver.
My guess is that after 1 or two firmware updates for the device things will be running a hell of a lot smoother.
Give it some time, the nexus and droid also had some childhood sickness untill stuff started running perfectly.
asphalt runs sweet as a nut on my galaxy s. so does raging thunder
Toonwarz looks like its running pretty well...
i like bridge, solitair and quake, also search for chromatatron.. laser puzzle logic games i like a lot.
Did someone have the chance to check out H.A.W.X?
And generally, the galaxy S should be pretty much a gaming beast, with the large 4" screen which is probably the best in the market right now, and SGX540, which is the strongest GPU around, untill the snapdragon 8672 sees light (and might still be the strongest even after that)
Tested and verified games and fullscreen..
Asphalt 5
Tower Bloxx
Tangram Pro (love this game..)
Flight Frenzy
The Game of Life
Surviving High School
New York Nights 2 (nice but not full screen though.. for 3.5 - 3.7 screen)
Bonsai Blast
Katamari Mobile (love this game..)
Mechanics Touch
Sally's Spa
The Gube - 3D Rubik's Cube
..still testing others.. it is very tiring to install and uninstall the games even when using ASTRO. hehehe
I have a ton of games installed on my Galaxy S.

Hawx working, however not reacting to accelerometer. Possible to play with onscreen joystick.
I now realize that the only thing my Captivate was better at was gaming. And not because of the screen. There's so many glitches in most/all of the high end games, making them unplayable. And its not just the multitouch bug - I dont hold my fingers down for that long. In modern combat every 5 seconds my guy turns around 180°. And in Dungeon Defenders my screen will bug out a just go crazy when I die. Which happens a lot because my guy moves like he teleports 5 steps in front of him instead of walking.
I though this Tegra chip was supposed to help? Especially because the dungeon defenders game IS a tegra game.
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
Can't play good games that I paid for.
Your phone is probably defective. I recommend returning it.
I really can't do that... this is my fourth one. 1st, gps wouldn't work, second a 1x4 area on top of screen wouldn't click, third froze up like my Captivate. This one has been perfect, until I started to get my old games that I had on the Captivate running, and found this out.
I'd rather not return it, and probably get a worse one.
Well tell me about it I went through 6 Atrix in 30 days lol but I am happy with this one now.
These games are being updated as we go along and they just don't support Tegra2 processors yet but it will be fine in another 30-60days or so.

Tennis no offense but these games are phone specific in many ways and you know this so complain tot he manufacturer for results not us.
Oh, so you're saying it's kinda like the AT&T thing? They advertise as 4G, but they're still working on it?
That would kinda of make sense I guess... so in future updates the Tegra chip will become utilized?
I have not had any of the issues you are talking about. Dungeon Defenders HD/Delux runs flawless on my Atrix. Do you have the most up to date version? And did you get the app legally or bootleg version?
Bought it through the market. Its the tegra version too.

I can't comment on Dungeon Defenders, but anyone able to play Monster Madness? That game lags like no other when I'm playing it. Biggest waste of money...
Maybe the overclocking will fix it, but still, you shouldn't have to OC.
EDIT: This is specific, but anyone able to get FPSe working (specifically FF7)? It runs great except for screen transitions/entering battle; it will slow down tremendously during these scenes. It's funny though, because my frames per second remains at around 60 even when the screen and sound are slowing down.

I play dungeon defenders, and it runs silky smooth on my phone. never had a bug. actually playing it right now. The only time I have issues is when the server messes up (not my problem................ or is it, AT&T/MOTOROLA, hmm?)
try installing the big file for Dungeon defenders manually from their website to make sure you have the right file
Hi all, i got hold of splintercell conviction hd , sandstorm hd and modern combat 2 today but ive had problems with all 3 of them i was just wondering if anyone has them working on there xperia play?
it probably was the sources i got them from as ive heard there are different versions of the games about but i dont want to go and buy them if there gonna be no better from gameloft. so im just checking before i fork out.
anyone else had similar experience?
black screen on splintercell
grey and black graphics on sandstorm and fails to download modern combat 2?
i dont think its my hardware as most games are fine.
gimme your thoughts
my problem is slightly different. I bought sandstorm, nova, asphalt, sparta for my htc evo 4g. Trying to get other games it says gameloft cant support my phone. Which makes me wonder if some kind of divorce took place after I bought my games, and if I am in somekind of limbo right now
mikzfan
I bought a few games when I had the HTC desire hd and just installed those on the play and encountered similar problems. Wrote gameloft and got my paid games upgraded and they work like a charm. Dpads and touchpads incorporated in the games ;-)
Regards Dousan...
e: when upgrading games to the play I had to download some extra stuff to make it work. (Had already copied my backup from HTC dhd to my play).
ah right yep the games must be coded slightly differently for the play cos of the pad... ive got another version of conviction here now which is working but not with the pad grrrr ... im gonna have to spend some dosh and buy the right version
ALSO anyone know if the play is multitouch cos it doesnt feel like it. i know its gotta pad so it doesnt really matter but on sandstorm using the screen i had to stop moving to aim?

ONe thing i do know about, lol, the play has multi touch screen AND touch pad, if u try the touch pad test software u can use 2 fingers on the pad AND 2 on the screen at the same time
Just a quick update... i bought splintercell and modern combat 2 and both work great using the pad controls,... I found out i had to buy the games to get the right version for the xperia play just a tip for other noob freebie hunters
Only problem I've had with some games is them not showing up in the Xperia Play games section after download.

Hi There Ive had the same problem with modern combat 2 dont know about the other 2 it force closes when i select it from the app menu, but I have got a way to get it working. This is on xperia play, for the downloading try restarting your phone turning the wifi off and back on and stay next to your wireless so you know youll have a good connection.
You try to load it from the app menu first and it will force close then hold the recent apps button and select the game from there and it will load it does still sometimes randomly force close though.
Hope this helps
If all else fails contact gameloft they take a few weeks for fixes like these but they will offer you a free game or something for the inconvenience.
That is good of them, I bought a game off PSN for PSP which wouldn't work & when I contacted them they told me it was my fault because I have a Jap PSP and they wouldn't re fund or supply a replacement.
i had the same problem with games not showing up... have you shut down and restarted your phone since u got them... mine show up. i think after a restart of the phone, not sure give it a try but mine are on the xp slide out list

Maybe consoles are a bit different but they should have allowed you access to a copy that did work for you if you paid for it. Or maybe that was just Sony as they get a cut out of every psn sale.
Yeah your right that is normally their attitude i was actually surprised when they did it and they done it twice for me bought nova 2 didnt work so they gave me assasins creed and spiderman free, then i got impatient for an fps so i tried modern combat 2 and didnt work either they gave me brother in arms free for this one. To sum that up i got 3 free games for 2 faulty games I bought and nova 2 works now since their update still waiting for a fix for modern combat 2 though.
the nexus one has this infamous multitouch bug/problem bcoz of its dualtouch screen and im wondering if it already has been fixed with custom roms orso?
No and never will.
how does this affect gaming? like age of zombie or modern combat 2 black pegasus?
I dont play games on my phone but allmost anything that requires require mulitouch will be ****. I assume that these games would of course. Where as something like angry birds works perfect.
In air hockey games multitouch makes impossible to play, but in games that there is a joystick and a button it works pretty good.
how about 2 joysticks like in age of zombies and black pegasus?
If the analogue sticks are in opposite diagonals it does work.
Sill a pain tho :\
Most games alllow you to rearrange the sticks.
As long as they allow using trackball for one of them - you're ok.
As long as they put the joysticks in opposite screen corners (like Gun Bros, for example) - you're mostly ok (after the phone heats when you play for a while, the screen might do its "magic" once or twice, but it can be lived with).
right now i have the motorola milestone and im wondering if i shud replace it with the nexus one
motorola milestone doesnt has this problem but the nexus one is more powerfull and has more ram and so
what do u guys think i should do?
very bad
Stop asking the same question with different wording. You can't fix the multitouch with any software update, get a new phone if you intend to play games.

Anyone with a Nexus One,can check for any multi-touch issues themselves by downloading “Multitouch Visible Test” from the Android Market and giving it a shot.
