Watch out for game loft rip-offs - Xperia Play General

I tried to buy a couple of games from game loft on their buy one get one free deal. I clicked and it didn't look like it downloaded. So I clicked again. Guess what? I bought it twice. Also I selected s free game and guess what? I was charged. So my sd card died. I got a new one and re-downloaded the one game and somehow I clicked and didn't think it worked so I clicked again.
And the second game was gone! So I called game loft to find out I was charged for all these games and the one didn't work on the play so they removed it. So they wouldn't remove the charges and made me choose different games. I will never buy another game loft game. Also if you want to download your games you have to go to a specific section of their site to re-download your games. So for the $5 game I'm being charged $25.
That said, I love the Spiderman game. Just make sure you download only once and get the Spiderman game. It is worth the price and works perfectly on the Play.

Same here!

I had a problem with them re-issuing download instructions after I had to wipe my device, but they finally came back to me (2 wks) and gave me a free game to apologise for the delay.
In the meantime I had figured out that my Dolphin browser cache had the inital download file, so i was able to kick it off again to get it installed. I now have these files saved elsewhere for when a custom rom gets cooked

Been meaning to ask about this.
I bought 4 Gameloft games on Sunday for £1 each.
I have backed up the .apk files that downloaded.
Am I set if I ever need to reinstall?

You can redownload your games it is just not obvious on how to do this and you could accidentally pay over and over. I don't know how much £1 is but I paid $5 Canadian for mine.

Gameloft giving away Free EVO Games

http://www.gameloft.com/android/htc-evo-games/#
Gameloft is avertising "HD" Gaming for the EVO, with an offer to get 'Let's Golf HD' for free. I have been trying for days and have yet to see the page do anything other than look pretty.
Any one have any luck actually getting anything ?

That's weird that you didn't get anything. It sent me the text to download within 2 minutes, and now I'm downloading the game itself.
Just tried. I was able to get the free game.

this has been going on for weeks, i hope the change the free game to N.O.V.A
This is awesome, I did not know they were giving away free games. I just wish it didn't take so long to download data once you start the game. It's been downloading for like 10 minutes :/
got mine with in 340 sec of entering my number
got my copy.
also bought asphalt after "testing it" for a while.
does anyone know if we get free upgrades/updates??
if so, how? or do their apps auto update themselves?
Ugh why can't they make it a cool game.. golf is boring in real life and video games.
I browsed to that site on my phone last week, downloaded and installed the bookmark app, then downloaded and installed Lets Golf! right after. Then uninstalled the bookmark app .
I just got the text to get my free copy, but I get this message when I open the link:
"Sorry, but there are no games available for your mobile. If you are using a web browser, please try to connect with your WAP browser."
Can someone just upload the .apk since it is free?

It said that for me at first, but that was because I was using dolphin browser hd and my user agent was on Iphone. Make sure your user agent in settings is Android.
Ah, changing my user agent fixed the problem. This is such a massive rip-off of Hot Shots Golf, by the way.
157 MB is a lot.. crazy stuff.. but i got my SMS instantly
Never got an sms. Ive done it 3 times

Huh...I got my about a week ago from another post here. I just went to the page with my phone and downloaded some installer...then the golf game. Deleted the installer right after.
The game isn't all that bad...it's not great, but I have never attempted to play a game on phone before.
The graphics are mostly ok, the fly overs are actually pretty good. The issue is when you notice the trees with blue outlines. I mean SERIOUSLY!! Who let that person have a graphics job. They just used same trees over and when background is a mountain or other trees...then they all have blue edge where they artist just selected the tree and cut it. BLECH.
The controls are a bit touchy...well way too touchy actually. When you attempt to change the target where the ball will land...the grid shifts around all crazy. Very hard just to shave a dozen feet off the distance but still be aimed at the hole.
The hit controls are weird. The easy version seems to slide up and down at random speeds...the advanced version...well I have yet to figure it out...what is a shank and what is a good hit? No idea.
Anyway...overall it has wasted a good few hours total...but super glad I didn't pay for it.
When will Dungeon Hunter be free!!!!!
Sms?.....just install the bookmark app then it instantly let me do the game app. No waiting for a sms....after starting the game 1st time had to do the 157mb file which took about 45 seconds over my WiFi connection and played the game....super easy(not the game)...now I just gotta wait for group or root it so I can save to SD card.......
I actually bought it some time ago, but the one on the website said "HD" in big letters, so I was wondering if there was a difference, like higher resolutions. I emailed them and they said no, it's same bloody game. So the marketing dept. is lying as per usual.
DOes anyone have any idea how to play via WIFI? I have tried everything and nothing works.
Can anyone confirm lets golf is working for 1v1 via WIFI?

Gameloft Games £1!

Just to let everyone know all Gameloft Games for the Xperia Play are £1 for 24 hours!!!! Get em while their cheap.
Could i buy them now and wait until i get my xperia play and then put them on it?
Cheers mate, thanks for the heads up :-D

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the links to download the games?
My handset isn't loading the 'nopuk.netsizeonline.com' site which enables you to download the relevant files.

Busy changing their credit card details
For the past few hours the site hasn't worked. I managed to start to download the APK for a game before I was having problems, however it failed.
I can now access the site again, but all games are showing as £3. What's going on? I assume the offer has finished, but I wasn't able to take advantage of it because the website wasn't working... :-(
Also worked fine for me, have an account, so just a simple login and one click buy :-D Got three games...
Regards Dousan...
I got me a fivers worth, thanks for the heads up.
anyone else bought assassins creed and thought £1 was way to much to pay!
ive had more entertaining farts.
Thanks for the heads up, got another couple
Their Support is disgraceful, I have been emailing them daily for the past 2 weeks with zero replies.
I had bought 3 games before I flashed my phone, then lost them & have been emailing support for fresh download links but they are ignoring me. For anyone else with same problem, I figured out a workaround - the initial small file that you download got saved to my SD card under the download folder of my Dolphin browser. I just installed from there & it let me download the 200Mb portion & all is working again.
I bough 9 Games while there £1 haha, i cant get modern combat 2 to work though, it launches the first time to download the data but then force closes, i mite try deleting it and installing again
Lol, I bought splinter cell yesterday.... wondered why it was only £1

Reinstall gameloft games previously purchased. Edit: Solved

My microsd card became corrupt today, and I had to format it. When I go to a previously bought game (Let's Golf 2) from the Xperia Play games launcher, it says I have to purchase it again, and asks for a payment method. This is also the case for Rainbow Six. Any ideas how I can get these to download again?
Edit: My bad, it's on the My Account page of their mobile interface.
You buy mobile games?
None of my games show up on my account page on their website.
I purchased nearly all of them then reformated my phone and lost them all. Only Asphalt 6 shows up.
I emailed their customer support who got back to me and said if they dont show up, re-email them and they will fix it.
I didnt bother though. Once you complete most games you kind of get bored with them anyway.
But yea, for most people you can re-download stuff via your account page.

Never email them. They take about two weeks to reply, directly call them and issue solved in 20kinutws.

Sweet! Any 1 Gameloft game for free :D

As some of you know Asphalt 6 hasn't been working recently as it comes up with a message saying "Video can't play". I reported this problem to Gameloft and received an email back with a new link to Asphalt 6. I tried that and still had the same outcome so I responded back suggesting that it might be because of the new Asphalt update.
Today they responded back and they said that they have notified the developers of the game. As compensation for having this problem they have said to me that they will give me any 1 Gameloft game for free.
So now I'm looking forward to playing BackStab HD

congratulation
Cool, where did you complain? I may do the same thing even though I bought the game on my touchpad, would have been good to play it on the phone too...
Pls help to post the new link of workable "Asphalt 6" and thanks!!

Just fill out this form http://www.gameloft.com/index.php?platform=gameloft&section=home
Enter a real email and phone number as they will contact you back. If they can't do anything to solve your problems they might send you a free game. They sent a link to the game in the email and also messaged me a link to the game which was easy to install.

This thread smells of too much effort. Gameloft games cost less than lunch, for £3 i'd rather just pay, and spend the time playing the game rather than filling in forms on the gameloft site tying to con a game out of them

Haha I know right! Heck even a McDonalds meal costs like £4.50 now.

Why is my RAZR M incompatible with games all of a sudden?

I rooted my phone all was well. I had to do a recovery after installing chain3d which bricked it, it seems after that recovery a bunch of games are incompatible for me in the appstore - games I've paid for!
Sonic 2, the other new sonic up and down jumper - both show incompatible for my device now. As does Dead Trigger and the new Shadowgun multiplayer game, the cod zombie game I paid for, muse that I paid for....wtf is going on?
Can anyone help?

Is this for the Play Store only that you're having this issue or with other App stores as well like Amazon? Temporary fix would be to just side load any of those apps if you've backed them up unless you mean they actually fail to install.

They install and run, but they wont install from google play. Games I've paid for I have to torrent and install in order to get them running. It's just annoying. Like for instance the new citadel epic demo, my device says it's incompatible ....so I have to find it somewhere and install it away from google play.
Just wish I knew what was up. Would like to fix this.

Go into settings and clear out all the data from your Google play store app and reboot your phone. Otherwise if that dont work a factory data reset will clear it up.
