Your favourite hidden Gems - Xperia Play General

Hi everyone,
I'd like a thread dedicated to the hidden gems for Xperia Play. There has been many topics related to the best optimized games for the xperia play, but we all know them by now. I'm talking about EA, Rockstar, Gameloft or Madfinger games (Asphalt, NFS, Modern Combat, GTA, NOVA, Dead trigger...). Don't get me wrong, some of them are great, but they are blockbusters that everyone knows.
It could be nice to have a listing of people's favourite hidden gems, games that are not famous but worth playing anyway (optimized or not).
Here are some of my favourite ones:
- Pocket Monster: a nice little plateformer game. Very simple, but well optimized and worth a try.
- Obscura: another optimized plateformer game, but really artistic, with really beautiful graphics. A bit short though...
- Rayman Jungle Run: ok, it's neither optimized nor "hidden", but it's a really nice game you can play anywhere anytime. Try it!
Broken Sword Director's Cut: I admit I have not played the android version. I completed the Nintendo DS version. But it's supposed to be the same. And it's a really really good game. A must play (not optimized, but no need to be).
- Critical Strike: The android's version of counter strike. If you like multiplayer FPS, the game is for you. Optimized for our phone, and free, what could you possibly ask more?
That's all for now. What are yours?

Aeon Avenger: A RPG game by Kemco
Dead On Arrival: A shooting game like SAS: Zombie Assault 3 if you have ever played it.
Thats all I know so far

No man, please, only post app's you have tested
And no links to warez or other websites like them!!
(I don't think this is a legal website?!)
OpenTTD works like a charm on 1.2
I will test it on 1.3 too when I have time to upgrade. But I see no reason why it would not work.

I'm Sorry, i didn't realize that the site was illegal , i saw the link in the Toshiba Forum and at first it looked okay. I already unistalled all the apps i have downloaded.
I was wondering how people are able to download payed apps from within 1.3 foliomod. Do you know any legal site to do that?
Regards and again please excuse me for my mistake.

It's just the link that is bad for everyone, because that way mod's can understand it as 'spreading and promoting illegal software'
You are right
I just updated dungeon defenders and i must say its much faster and stable now! This game is awesome, a must buy in my opinion! Great graphics, amazing gameplay, and for 2.99 is a bargain. Better than many expensive console games.

Could you make a review? Because I don't understand the game and the goals :s
The game objective is to defend the cristals from the evil creatures that were accidentally released from inside one of this crystals were the anciens had locked them a long time ago. You have to place defenses and traps in stratagic points to keep the cristal safe. You will need mana to cast this defenses, and you get it by resisting through this waves of creatures. You also can improve or upgrade this defenses. When you are ready you touch the cristal and the enemy starts the attack. If the crystal is destroyed you lose. You get weapons and armour by defeating this bad guys and by openning treasure chests... there are lot of variations and options you can try. When your hero defeat a series of waves we eventually goes to another room. By the way you can see the number and type of this creatures by stepping near the doors.

i wanna add a little tip to this great review, you can swap your hero in the build phase so you can diff types of deffence like those spike things with some kind of gun or trap behind it from one of the other hero's, also if when you swap heros you can drop the mana they have before you swap so the one you swap to can pick it up
as for apps i have found to work well
My Movies - movie database program
Pulse - rss newsreader
Tv Show Favs - to keep track of what tv show episode i have watched.
Tweetdeck - twitter app
Winamp - music player, though have not tested wifi sync being a linux user.

Lol you guys. I just installed snesoid and psx4droid earlier today so I could go back and play ChronoTrigger and Final Fantasy Tactics again. I have both systems and games in a box, but now I can play on my phone! Once I get through those, I'll have to review my n64 games and see what I need to play through again. I wonder how hard it is to play goldeneye on a phone.
whoever tries it out please let us know how the games perform (star fox, Zelda, etc).
^if no one does this by the time I get back home ill post it.
I just played OoT. A little choppy during cutscenes and high action times. Fun though. Running stock 2.1

Starfox runs well once in a level, but menus suck, and there isn't audio.
Super Smash Brothers has graphical errors on the character faces, but otherwise runs fine.
LoZ: Majora's Mask, closes a lot, and lots of regions are black.
Kirby Crystal Shards can't ge past the tutorial.
Mario Kart 64 runs beautifuly!
That's all I've tested so far. It has a lot of potential, I would recommend purchasing it.
I bought it and it's worth it. Mario 64 is 100% playable with sound, same with Diddy Kong Racing. Mario Kart seems to be working well. I tried it on the SyndicateROM which runs at 1.2ghz

Damn I would jump on this right away & play OoT if it weren't for Beyond Good & Evil being re-released in HD on Xbox Live yesterday. Thanks for the heads up OP!

Mario 64 and Mario Kart both work like a charm. Even Turok 2 is playable. The issue with the emu as of now seems more to be with stability than performance, as I get tons of FCs in most other games I try to run. The potential here is great though, and the fact that the dev published an update so soon after releasing the app pretty much speaks for itself. Money well spent

tbh if it's your first time, its worth it to play it on a pc emulator so you can really soak it all in. I recommend project 64, and even then the controls were kinda hard to use perfectly.

Certain games for LG P500?

Hi,
I just flashed a custom rom on my LG p500 and its running interactive 480/748 right now. In terms of games, I've got a few good ones already, but I'm looking for some suggestions. I'm looking mostly for games that either have some kind of survival mode (action or shooter where you have to survive as long as possible) or some more fun high shore games. So far I have: doodle jump, robot unicorn attack, cut the rope and fruit ninja. And all the games should run completly smoothly on the LG p500. So, any suggestions? (I'd especially like survival shooters or action games, but none of the ones I found so far are compatible with P500)
Thanks in advance
Try Defender very addictive game

How about Dead Space? Although some people might not like the screen and the touch issues still playable though, sometimes though there are minor irks like the background changes from black --> bright white. Still a remarkable experience considering it's canon.

[ Discussion]-The one game you always go back to.

This isn't a ratings topic or a top whatever topic...This is a topic of what game you just can't get enough of. Don't get me wrong there's a lot of great games out there. I'm curious of the diversity of the crowd/ XP community.
For me...its Minecraft. I started playing it on android & after uninstalling to check out other games, I always bring it back. I like how smooth it runs. Its the one game that I have truly never had a problem with...but enough about my choice.
R800x-unlocked/ Aokp-m6/ 4.0.4
Im with you, always have installed minectaft, for me the best sandbox game.

And Asphalt 7, but since i do development of roms, i mainly change roms so i dont stick with much gamez.
Being a classic gamer, I bought my xperia play mainly for emulators. The first console game I ever owned was Sonic 1 for the master system. Even these can always pick that up and not get bored
I found that the xperia play is great with NES and GBA emulators, maybe I'll try to get a SNES one soon as well.

My Boy! is my favourite. The UI is tidy and easy to follow. It has the ability to disable linear filtering. Cheat support was included with the latest update. I get full speed in all the games I play without needing to use frameskip.
VGBA has good compatibility but the UI sucks and is battery heavy. Also the developer is employing dirty tricks like preventing people with LP installed from using the app.
GBA.emu you would expect to be good but performs very poorly on the Xperia PLAY and other single core devices. You get lag every 10-15s with frameskip on, and is slow as hell/unplayable with frameskip off.
Gameboid used to be my favourite until My Boy! replaced it. Both Gameboid and My Boy! are similar in the UI and performance. My Boy! is slightly better in both those areas, and seeing as Gameboid is no longer being developed, it made sense to buy My Boy!.
Sonic episodes 1 & 2
I allways go back to them!!
Draw Something... Yea yea yea, make fun of me, I keep uninstalling it because nobody plays it. I always go back to installing it after a few weeks without it because I feel like playing with someone. Nobody plays it anymore, so I uninstall it. Repeat process.
