http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Software_Games
i know all about the Wiki...
the question was WHERE CAN I GET THEM FROM IS THERE AN ONLINE STORE?
that has all these bits rather than running around the web like a numpty looking for dead end links?
Don't be lazy, just google for the name of the game and I'm sure you'll find plenty of sites. It only takes seconds..

Unfortunately there isn't one site which has all games available and you'll need to check the wiki to ensure all games are compatible full screen or not. As metioned previously, you'll just have to search for the title of game and go from there.
Would start with Pocketgear.com
thanks for the tips guys:
Hi, thanks for checking this thread.
I was wondering if anyone knows if the Gameloft games that I have bought for my Iconia a500 will work after updating my tab with Dexters PRIMEE port?
I hear it is a pretty solid rom and I hate to not do it. But I don't want to lose my games.
I've already lost them once when I returned the first Iconia to BestBuy. I had to go through Gamelofts Customer Service to get the games back. Fortunately they were awesome to deal with.
I don't know how the games are authenticated. It's just that I am not certain whether my tablet will still pass if make changes like that to it.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Well, you could use titanium backup to, erm, backup your games + data, then make a nandroid backup using CWM, install Primee, then restore your games using titanium again.
Thanks for that. If I decide to go with PRIMEE I'll definitely go that route.
Appeciate the help.
No problem. If you have the time, give Prime a go. 3.1 feels faster and works great.
even with my phone i rarely use nandroid i just make frequent baclups in titianium. once in a while it loses my homerun 3d battle

First, thanks for everything Dexter, I appreciate you taking the time to help out here. Don't know how you possibly do it all.
The Gameloft store is where I bought my games as well.
Question.
Did you buy Asphalt6 before you made and installed that way cool rom of yours on your tablet? If so did you re-install it from the apk, or did you just go back to the Gameloft store on your device?
The reason that I ask is that when I returned my tablet I couldn't get to those games online to put them back on the new tablet. I actually had to go through customer service at Gameloft.
Why?
It seems that when I bought my games using the a500 at the Gameloft store, They didn't give me, the owner, an account for the games. They assigned an account to the tablet. Perhaps I should have bought the games through their webpage on a pc. I may have been better off...
Anyway, I am pretty sure that's why I had trouble and also why I am concerned. If my tablet doesn't identify as the tablet that the games are associated with, I don't think that they will re-install.
So I suppose that the real question is this. Will the Rom change whatever the identifier is that the apps look for? I figure that it is the serial number and possibly the model number too. So everything will be most likely be fine. But after what it took to get them back I'd like to be certain.
Thanks in advance for taking time for this. And thank you for sharing your Rom with us. Great job.

probably why asphalt works fine..
i copied it before i formatted it, and then installed again. but here, its the same tablet..
Right on, thanks for confirming that.
I think this game is by far the best FPS for the xperia plays gamepad. I hated the controls in this game at first but grew to love it.
I set the contols to: move, Shoot, aim and use the directional pad to move and gentle taps of the rights stick to aim and it works flawlessly and very accurate.

I'm gonna go ahead and dissagre with you. I can't play that for **** whit its controls haha I think BF 2 is far more better Better controls, better graphics and so on But that's just what i think. And Rainbow six has a killer multiplayer
I dont know i think batttlefield controls are hard because you have to sort of flick or else you'll overshoot every time whereas modern combat 2 you tap on the right pad to aim. Soo much nicer to play with and alot more accurate. What setup do you use in battlefield and i'll give it a shot

when buying from gameloft, are the installers individually signed to your device, email, phone number, or whatever to prevent piracy? you see, i lost my installer for Modern Combat 2 Black Pegasus, accidentally deleted it when cleaning my SD card so I'm asking gameloft to give me another copy and I've been asking them for ages and still no freakin solution. they just replied once asking for my details and the receipt and that was 3 weeks ago!!!
so if it's not signed and all copies are the same (among the same phone models), maybe you can share to me your APKs for the Xperia Play via PM.. I swear I bought the game! Gameloft just has a crappy customer support. :[
Gameloft games are tied to your account. You just go to the site on your phone and enter your email and phone #. It gives you a section called My Downloads.
Asking for paid games is against the rules here. Even in PM's
Well i didn't know it was to tied to the account... and the My Downloads page thing using their website isn't working (saying I haven't downloaded any when in fact I have downloaded loads of games from them) that's why I posted in their crappy forum in the first place. I'm not dumb to not know that. In fact, everything in their website that is tied to an account doesn't work.
And I'm well informed of that no-warez rule here that's why I was asking FIRST in my previous post if it is tied to the account because if it's not there's no license thing to it. Since you said it is tied to accounts, then now I know.
I called thier 1-800#(or whatever) and they sent me texts with a direct link. They will answer the phone.
Try that.

each device has a unique ID, and so does each gameloft .apk, at first run, each .apk is paired with the unique id of the device running it, after that, the game will only work on the device it was first run on

If I may ask a followup to this, do you know if say a while from now the Xplay 2 comes out and we want to upgrade, will Gameloft allow you to re-download an app you paid for to a new device? Or once its bought and paired you're done. I realize the physical file is paired, but I wonder if it broadcasts this data back to their server as well.

Yeah thats what it does, thats why you need an internet connection the first time you run a game, the game check the apk's id against the paired ones in the database, and if it comes back as already paired, the game quits or gives you the piracy warning
If I was to say get a new phone I would call and have them issue the games again.
But I believe it is tied to your account. I have flashed my phone and when I went back I had to enter my phone number and email address to download them again.
Hell the controls on the updated version (1.0.0) sucks ****..
controls on v1.0.0 for Xperia Play is so ****ed up, any solution?
I dont want it,hard to target,iprefer rainbow six
This game was out of my phone for months now, until yesterday I saw the game's changed icon on the Get Games app so I decided to try the game again hoping the controls were better. And hell yes, they're a lot better. The game is playable now, except from one bug I noticed that kept me from advancing through the very first mission.
Everytime the cinematic shows up where a burning barrel flies toward the player in slow-mo, the action button appears but doesn't seem to be functional. When I touch it, it disappears and my player just stands there and lets the flying barrel blast him into space dust.
Anyone care to try and report back if they experience the same? This is still a good FPS imo especially now that MC3's aim controls are kinda screwed up too with the new update.
If you're on v3.3.9 or earlier, I can agree that MC2 controls are okay.
If you're on any version newer than that (when they reset the version count to 1.0.0) then you're crazy

Its been a while but IIRC one of the game pads buttons functions for the action button, it may have been X or Square or the right trigger, I forget. I remember having a problem with that part when i first played the game.
Hey bros I have a problem, I played mc2 via online and I am level 72 user but when I finish some game ir says that I am 58 level, and when I start a game it says I am 63 level, can somebody tell me what is wrong with my game.

Gameloft is whats wrong with it. Their server that tracks your games doesn't realize 3/4 of the "badges" i earn, and screws that stuff up too.
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.

the link works fine for me... but shouldn't this thread be in the themes and apps forum?
i couldn't figure out how to play using the sixaxis app but what controllers are compatible?
the link is working, but I can't download because it is saying that none of my devices are compatible with the game. The A500 is in the list of compatibles devices.
Does anybody known how to resolve this?
I was using the Thor rom and couldn't get the game because it kept saying my device was incompatible. I switched over to the Honeylicious rom, the game downloaded fine and it runs without a problem.

I'm on stock 3.2 unrooted. Any ideas?
Not sure why you wouldnt be able to get it on stock 3.2... Im on a rooted 3.2 and it dled without any issue...
I'm still running stock 3.2 and it downloaded with no problems for me.
me too, market says my acer iconia is incompatible when I checked just now. I remember that it was still compatible a couple of days ago when it was released. I should have downloaded it then.
Any reason for rockstar to remove a500 in the compatible list?
It happenned to me also. I was on Lightspeed 1.7 , I switched to Honeylicious and same problem.
It works very well on the Acer tab a500. Don't know why it's not available on the Market.
Hopefully, the apk is available elsewhere...
works well with my iconia (lightspeed 1.0.7) and xbox 360 controller

Where did you get it from?
Is it available for you in the market or did you get it from other sources?
I'd hate to go to the tpb when i'm willing to pay.

Same here, no GTA III : 10th AE for me. A501 from frys.com. 3.0.1 on board. It shows in Tegra Zone, but after redirecting to Market it says it cannot be found or sth like that.
Brutalpanda,
As everybody knows, they're other places than the Android Market to get apps for android devices on internet...
This was a very poor decision by RS Games. I bought the game on December 15 much like many other people on here probably did. I still have the game installed and everything runs well, but I would now be forced to backup the apk in order to make sure I can reinstall it later if I were to switch roms or whatever. Hopefully they bring support back soon, would be nice being able to download future updates.
I a company makes it harder (and really in this case impossible) for me to purchase something from, how could I feel guilty for obtaining it surreptitiously?
p.s. pirate bay is wholly unnecessary

I believe I went with the third link, but first looks the same
Ok enough with the BS.
I got it, it runs fine on my Iconia.
I don't know what incompatibilty there is, but I've been trying for three days to get it from the android market. three days!
I flashed several different roms on my device including asus and motorola based ones! I even unsuccessfully tried to change my build.prop.
Nobody can say I didn't try.
I got it from a famous link site, I should have started there, i would have played the game the whole week-end instead of flashing roms.
Nicely done Rockstar.

Which is exactly why I changed my rating from a five to a two.
"I currently have the game installed in my Acer Iconia Tab A500 and everything works perfectly. It seems that Rockstar Games has decided to remove support for my device at least for the interim and I don't really appreciate that. It works very well for my particular device and Rockstar Games is now shooting itself in the foot since some people with unofficially supported yet capable devices will be unable to obtain the game legitimately which means their only option will be piracy."
