Nova Kicks Ass

Well including three demo of Nova in 3.70 sucked me in. I paid the $5 because this game is really cool!

I agree. I was pleasantly surprised by both the performance of the game, and the fact that although it may be called "bloatware", in reality it adds minimal to internal storage (most of the data is stored on SD which I don't mind).

I picked it up a few months ago, its pretty bomb. Modern Combat: Sandstorm is absolutely AWESOME too.

Ok so Adam did you install 3.70? Are you rooted? If so did you get your old official copy of NOVA working? Mine won't it just glitches and hangs?
Any answers would be awesome as I can't play NOVA anymore without REBUYING it BOOOO
Thanks,
Adan

Nova 2 looks even better, dont know if its coming to android. Also don't know if our evos can handle it.

Yeah gamelofts process of selling is horrible. They need to join the android market. Especially with all the talk on the blogs about them ripping people off. I have been using a titanium restore so I've been ok playing NOVA. I think they right now only offer 90 days that you can redownload aka update. Which is retarded. The games are great but gameloft needs to rethink their android business model quick

Well CRAP
Doh well that answers the question Adam,
You don't have to worry about what Sprint did to our EVOs when it comes to NOVA as you arent using even a loose version of the RUU... ahhh well...
As for rethinking their business model I hear you, it's way to hard to get support or help with these issues from them. Not to mention even finding the games is so backwards its almost in opposite land...

Yeah. I wanna say android central (maybe phandroid....cant remember) ran an article today on them charging people numerous times, etc. If they wanna be a serious player why arent they on the market? As easy as it should be, gameloft comes off as shady. And yeah, their stuff is a pain to buy, download, and install. You would think they would wanna cure that issue. Joining the market would do that and alleviate everyones fears of being scammed.

no prob..
well i had the full version of nova before the update, im all stock. and after the update I still have the full version, no changes.

you can actually get modern combat sandstorm for free at getjar.com! it is a fun game and was made free there because of what adam said.
getjar.com/mobile/48512/modern-combat-sandstorm/

I like just wish they would get over themselves and put the games on the market

oh darn it, sorry for getting your hopes up. the article was misleading and so was the description. my bad

I don't think they charge you if you activate the demo copy after having already bought it. I got NOVA back in late july, and just activated the demo. It said purchase, but didn't go through the normal process, so I don't think I paid for it. I'll try to post back here in a month when I get my next bill to confirm, but I'm pretty sure that if its the device that you already activated on, it should be free to activate it. It definitely plays better now that its integrated.
I love all the Gameloft games except for Asphalt 5. Its not a really good racing game. Its ok, but not well optimized for Android. I just got Need for Speed Shift when it came out on the Market on the 16th. So far, its awesome! Really snappy great graphics, and really good racing experience.

Can you use wiimote with these games?
On cm 6 of course. I know it doesn't work on sense.

Probably not since you probably has to be coded in the game.

nova just hangs on my device. it tries to load then kicks me out to home screen. anyone else have this problem?

Amazon free app of the day.

Not specifically xperia related, but I thought the community here might be interested.
Amazon's free app of the day (9/29/2011) is Symphony of Eternity. It's an RPG in the style of 16 bit greats like Final Fantasy VI. I played a few minutes of it, and it seemed pretty cool.
Get the app store from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011

Where's the link?

It is kinda Xperia related too, since you can use the Xperia PLAY controls for some of it's maneuvering.

You have to get it through the amazon app store, which you can get from Amazon.com.

I bought it. It's the finest RPG you're going to find in the Xperia Play, which is not saying much.

That's far, far from the truth IMO. Eternity isn't even the finest released by kemco since Eve of the Genesis was released. Then there's eternal legacy which has been extremely ambitious and rewarding, then an absolute deluge of quality action rpgs from gamevil. Gailardia brings some classic dragon quest style gaming in the mix, and there's likely even more I could grab from my list when I'm on the full version of this site.
Point is, Xperia PLAY has quite a nice arrangement of RPGs for being as new as it is.

Amazon App Store free app of the day is great.
I've got so many useful apps, paid games and Xplay optimised games for free from it.

Amazon aotd needs a separate voting system to oust the sh*tty apps speedily.

I wish they didn't limit the offer to only US. Anyone knows how to use it from Europe please?

Thanks, I wonder if I need to create a new account. I have Uk, Canadian and US addresses already linked to mine but don't have an usa credit card and thought that's why they wouldn't let me have app of the day. Will try again. Thanks

I bought it today and I think it sucks. I just cant leave swype. Its too good.
But I did buy Minecraft. If you have friends that will link up with you (works with iphone) over wifi then its an insanely fun game. Even alone its a good time waster and just a fun way to be creative. Glad that I waited to buy it though because the regular price is 7$. Deal win.
Edit: I can only pray for titanium backup to show on this list

I like swype also, but I like how swift key predicts words. There are a few things I need to get used to with it, but overall I think I go faster on it. Also I hate how swype picks up incorrect spellings and continues to throw those out as what you wanted to say.

There was a market update pushed to my. 2.2 phone that replaced. Android market with this Google play. App

Thanks for the heads up. Great selection. I have been waiting on Need for Speed Hot Pursuit to go on sale, but I never expected to see it for that price. Deadspace and Shadowgun are no brainers as well.

I picked up Dead Space and Hot Pursuit as well. I wasn't willing to spend $7 a piece on them, but I couldn't click "Buy" fast enough at $.49. Shadowgun belongs in the same category.
I'd also highly recommend Osmos HD if you didn't get in on the humble bundle. The graphics are gorgeous and the soundtrack is awesome. It makes for a fine relaxation game.

Completely agree with all of ya yes NFS and everything I couldn't push buy fast enough 49 cents is a steal I knew using android as a portable gaming/schooling device was a good idea

hahaha just bought it, it is a very cool game! usually i don't buy games, because i think it is a waste of money, but nfs is different it has very good graphics and is very entertaining. and with this price, there is no reason to wait. it is great.
Besides there is an app in the appstore called appsales, which informs you about recent pricedrops of apps. so you can get apps really cheap.

Thanks for the info. I'm getting the game.

thanks :good:

Thanks, and it's not only in Uk, but in other market too. Here, in France, it's 0.90 €
I played the demo included in my note, it's a fun and good looking game.

Its the game I use to show off what gaming is really like on the Note2!!! Awesome graphics and addictive gameplay - nothing ever comes close!!! I paid full price and I still thought it was so bloody cheap for what its really worth! I wish i could buy it again

Thanks for this! My friend had been showing off the game and making me jealous. Finally i can enjoy it as a good price!

Fantastic game and well worth the sale price of INR 54 (99 Cent). Downloading the game data now which is approx 604mb. Enjoy this cool game friends.

Hmmm.... I've bought it a week ago for full price..... It's worth every penny!!!! Awesome game, one of the best I've ever played on the phone!!!! No lag, smooth as hell and very sensitive and precise controls. Love it!!
Anyone want to challenge me????
