App market!!

So my son plays games on my phone..he is 6 and purchased Frogger Pro. It was only $1.99 but is there a way that I am missing for the phone to have to ask for my password before a purchase after a certain time etc? Or should I just get a app lock program for it?

There is a 24 hour refund period for all app purchases if that helps.

Put a lock on your phone and smack him for using it, then get him a Hero or something.

Awwwwh Man! lol, nah its all good, Ill put a app lock on it

Let him play Frogger sheesh... it's only 1.99 or buy him an XBOX or something so he doesn't have to use your phone to play games. I think i'd be pretty happy if my 6 year old was responsible enough to only download 1 game for a measly 1.99 most kids nowadays would go crazy and rack up hundreds of dollars in no time. I know my nephew did it to his father LOL

If I remember correctly, over on HoFo someone posted a story about a kid who bought a $999 app from the iPhone app store

He has a wii, I got an xbox360, and ps2, and he has an ipod 3rd gen touch. Lol. And all his disney games on the computer lol. Im using app lock tho, works good but seems laggy.

Call of Duty [Clans] [General] [PS3 or 360] [MW2 and Black Ops]

Flame me for making this thread if you feel the need to.
Myself and a few others have started an Android enthusiasts clan for the sole purpose of "dominating other men" on MW2 for 360 both XBOX 360 and PS3. As of now its just myself and 8 others but it'd be pretty sick if we could get this shiitake mushroom poppin' with a plethora of clan members coming from a variety of different Android handsets. Now, we don't have a clan tag just yet, procrastinators, I know, so we'll have to decide on that as well.
Apparently there's already a CyanogenMod Clan over at Steam, so it looks like any Cyanogenmod-like gamertags would kinda', I dunno, make things even more so redundant.
The clan #list on twitter.
VOTE FOR WHAT CLAN TAG YOU LIKE BEST OR SUGGEST ONE AND I'LL UPDATE THE POLL.
Gamertags of the members of the XBOX 360 clan so far are as follows:
Jiqqaman
PsiQo1
xXVital EagleXx
nuzzle79
Double 0 Dub
PsYcHoTiCtAc
miles95
unstpblefilipino
topshelfsnippa
dec3ptioncs
Xiophyte
BigPoppaPhat
david279
gkxc
idiedlastyear
Gamertags of the members of the PS3 clan so far are as follows:
mrbkkt1
Franteeko
ctoueg
If you wanna join, wanna suggest a clan tag, wanna flame me, whatever, feel free to add us up, shoot us a message, or post in this thread. Don't forget to download Jiqqaman's Call of Duty: Black Ops app available on the market free.

wrong thrad. should be in the android development one like the rest of these.
i'd join your gang but i'm on my 2nd strike, don't have a 360 or MW2. indeed i am a modern day kanye in many respects.

There's something very disturbing about that .gif. It's a new, strange feeling that I'm gonna have to live with now.

I'd be up for a bit of geek domination. I'm a casual player but I'm on mw2 or battlefield bc2 most nights for an hour or two, so it depends how serious ur gonna take it.

Dude, finally, someone who plays BC2 besides Jiqqaman. We should get a clan for that going as well. And I don't expect anyone to take this too seriously at all, as some of us *cough me cough* aren't all that great when it comes to MW2. BC2 on the other hand, is a different story. I'll have everyone add you sometime today. You've been added to the list in the OP.

Anyone know what the average price for 3d games are?
Thinking of turning a fps game, a tank game, into an android app. Or maybe even bring farmville to it.
I know it's not cheap, but wondering if anyone knew what the price range would be.

That's relative. Depends of a few factors, like the type of game, the level, features etc. Few of them runs for like $4.99, so goes for $9.99. Just search the market for keyword "3d" or "3d game" and see if I can get a pattern or something to work with.

lol I meant like developing the game itself. hiring a team of coders to make the app.

Lmao, my bad def.ly will be high. Thought u were saying u can or you are going to do it yourself and would like to know how much to sell it for.

For a **** game you are probably looking at a minimum of $3,000 US. For a quality job, at least $10,000.

I was thinking around there as well. Right now I'm thinking about taking all the zynga fb apps, and converting them for android. Most of the zynga apps are 2d, and not that extensive. I think i could get each one done for 3-5k. What you think?
@jahnile - I want to get it done, like get it coded by someone else.

they can cost a lot more. I was thinking of getting an fps based tank game done. I found it online on some website, and it had chat, you could buy upgrades and stuff. Was based in flash. Got a quote on getting it recoded for a fb app, and they wanted like 45k for it.

Now that's bread,so it all depends on how much u willing to spent.

That would be heavy gunner, already been done. Id like to see a fps online multiplayer game. Like doom or halo, something like that with stats, exp points, live chat and objectives I think that would be a huge hit. I know theres toon wars but something more realistic.

ANY FPS game in 3d is going to be an absolute minimum of 10k... you are looking at something more like 100k if you want to do what I think you do.

nah, the tank game I found was a lot different. It would have 50-60 different tanks with upgrades, missles, etc.. And you could move in any direction, and aim and fire. There would be about 5-10 people playing per map. The front end was made in flash while the backend was java (i think. from my analysis of the http packets, it looked to be java running).
I'll see if i can find a link. My friend told me about it first, and in order to check it out I had to make an account. After few minutes of "testing" it out, it got addicting. Was sitting their playing it for an hour or so.

be warned, VERY addictive. Although if i were to make that into an android app, I would make some changes to it like speed and controls.

What's wrong with me playing Rockman on my nesoid? It's not like I can go out and buy an NES to play it with.
I am of the opinion that if nintendo put out high quality, official emulators, and charged like 10$ for them, I would buy them.
I don't like pirating games, I like playing classics.

Yea lol they freak out when you don't pay to play a game that hasn't been on sale for 20 years but are to lazy to make anything so you can play it legally and they can make almost pure profit because they don't need to put any money into game design.

The point is that it is pirated. I can promise you, if some one contacted nintendo, asked permission to dev out emulators and digital.games, they would syrike a deal with them.whether or not you agree with, its still pirating games, we all do it to a point im sure, but rom gripper was a whole other realm.

[Q] Where to find decent games for the play.

I've had a look in market and the xperia play launcher, the games there are pretty basic and I don't like them that much, they cost too much. i was just wondering if their is a site out there that will allow me to download the best xperia play games for free.

I'm sure there is, but asking about warez here is only going to get you banned and have you ever though that the games might be basic because of people like you? what developer would want to make a game, if people are just going to steal it.

There are no decent games and even if there were good ones the controls will suck balls, the touch pads are a joke and who in their right mind would pay 1-10 bucks for a game that can be beat in an hour? I would just stick with fpse

Mass piracy has not stopped successful games from selling in any platform. The truth is that games are basic because we're not paying premium prices. A price range from 0 to 5 euro a pop won't buy you inventive stories, memorable voice acting and intricate, long gameplay. It will buy you Cut the Rope, Battle Bears or Eternal Legacy.

Too expensive? These games are about £3 at most, with a lot coming under that. The games are good, but the uptake of the play has been a bit slow so devs wont bother optimizing for it! Its down to Sony to get them to port their games across.
IMO the best games you can get are the ones that are pre installed on the play and Dungeon Defenders, other than that FPSE and the ~oid range are your best bets

I agree. The majority of people who pirate would likely not buy the movies/games/software anyway. I'm sure some would but most wouldn't. And the games’ being basic is because the devs are developing for the lowest common denominator which is the crapy touch screens. If we do get good Play Only games they will likely come from anyone with a steak in the Xperia Play.

QFT.
The touchpad/analog controls in some of the games are implimented in different ways. Some are true analog, and others are swipe. Some people like it one way, others like it another. I honestly wish they would allow an option to switch. However, there are plenty of decent games available for this phone, that although they may cost about US$5, that isn't terribly much. A coffee, or a game. even if the game is short, you would probably reach the same amount of enjoyment time from it.
If all else fails, there are some decent to good emulators out there and you can play all the old games you have from back in the day. NES, SNES, Genesis, Master System, NeoGeo, PSX/PS1, N64, etc. I think there is even some MAME goodness floating around for arcade carts/ROMs.
If you can't find a good game that works decently with the controller in that whole huge mess, then I suggest that maybe your criteria is set too high, and you would have problems finding suitable items on any platform at that high of quality requirement at that low of a price.

I'm sorry if I "attaked you" in any way. But you're very negative 90% of the time. And I'm not the only one who thinks that. You don't have to say that the phone is crap, useless, the controls sucks and so on, because they don't. It's enough to say "I don't like it, it doesn't fits my needs". Just saying.

"You don't have to say that the phone is crap, useless, the controls sucks and so on, because they don't. "
Show me where I ever said that? Quit making **** up. I love the phone. The controls are great if the game is developed properly for them. I have stated many times that the battle bears game has them done right. I have said Gameloft games need better controls. Since I have 6 of them I have a right to state my opinion on them. Most of my posts are questions or helping others.
BTW "You're just a cranky little kid who can't figure out how to play with your controls" Is an attack.

They aren't free but they are cheaper direct from gameloft than through the V-Cast store. Just pick your game, pick R800x and scan the barcode
