Nook hd plus 32gb a gaming tablet?

I like nook hd + specs and i can get a 32gb for around 180 dollars i heard nook now has google play store if so, has anyone tried games like gta 3 vice city nova 3 real racing 3 etc high end games dead trigger on nook hd+ can this tablet be a gaming one?

Real Racing 3 is running better than on my iPad2

If you update with CM 10.1 and the new gpu drivers Verygreen posted, bigger YES. Especially if you like emulators. For the price, nothing touches it.
Games play fine and emulators like MAME play faster than on a Tegra 3 tablet (I have two to compare with).
This has become my main Android tablet over the Excite 7.7 and TF300.

Did nova 3 have the particle/ debris effects falling from sky? and did real racing 3 have sun shining on car?

no there are no particles on the Nova 3 game. I don't have real racing 3 on the tablet now but I will this afternoon sometime so I'll check.

where?. I have the Nabi 2 and the HD plus side by side. I see the debris on the Nabi 2 but I don't see the debris, on the HD Plus.

My guess is the HD will play games better than the HD+ since less than half the pixels to push. I have two Tegra 3 tablets (both 720P) to compare with and testing the TF700 that is 1080p.
NOVA, MC3 and 4 all appear to play similar on all tablets, but when things get real busy, the lower res tablets are smoother. Asphalt 7 is a good example of a game that chokes with the HD+ and the TF700. It is obvious both tablets are struggling with the 1080p. The game is not smooth on either the HD+ or TF700, but smooth as butter on the Excite 7.7 and TF300. The iPad 4 is even higher res than the HD+ and TF700, but plays A7 smooth as butter (it should, with the big accelerated GPU in it and A6X cpu cores). Not fair though, since Gameloft creates on iOS and ports to Android.
Game emulators though are a different story, since all play as good or better on the HD+ compared to the Tegra 3 720p tablets. Makes sense since the emulators are scaling to fill the screen and not really pushing 1080p via the GPU. Case in point, MAMEreloaded is actually smoother on the HD+ than my Tegra tablets.
One thing to keep in mind is that the HD+ appears to not like having less than 1 to 2GB of free storage and appears to get more laggy. I noticed this on stock 2.1 as well and with two different HD+ tablets.
All things considered with CM 10.1 and easy modding, the HD+ is a great tablet for the money- even if a few games play slower. The positives IMO far outweigh the few negatives- even as a gaming tablet.
Added: BTW, all gamepads I have tested work fine via bluetooth and response time is fine, even with arcade games in MAMEreloaded and NES.

I play mine craft at highest settings with no slow downs.

Gameloft on Nook hd/+

Anyone tried Gamelofts big games ex nova 3 mc4 amazing spider man and games like real racing 3 nfs most wanted gta 3 vice city, do these games have smooth with the full graphics like on ios devices, since it does have powervr sgx 544? Would it be wise to buy this tablet solely for gaming? I know there is N7 but i heard/seen lots of gamelofts top games perform poorly on it due to optimization.

Most Gameloft games I have (have a number of them and I haven't tried installing them all, so going with 'most') give me the 'Device not compatible' error - both stock and cm. Also, Gameloft really pisses me off because they remove back-catalog games to force you to purchase the newer versions (like Asphalt 5, original Modern Combat & Dungeon Hunter, etc in case you have those).
GTA games run great. Haven't ever tried IOS, but they run full quality and 60fps smooth w/ the nook. Same w/ EA games, all work fine.

I have tried Nova 3, MW3, both GTAs, NFSMW and NBA 2013 and all play fairly smooth.
Asphalt 7 though plays, but not smooth. Seems a lazy port since NFSMW and the other "busy" games play smooth.

All I notice is the game is not smooth like my other device or the iPad 4. All graphics seem in tact, but uninstalled. If it was missing stuff, it would have been even less smooth with it.

Just so you know I tried order and chaos hoping it would look great, bit they have gimped the effects and draw distance and it looks rubbish...

Used to do this on my old Allwinner A10 tablet, and it worked for some games, but its been awhile.

Most of these can be considered as heavy games and have good graphics.
Most of the big heavy games out there run but have very bad graphics.. so maybe it's time to start oc'ing the cpu and gpu for gamers .
Also most games have very bad stock graphics so games like nova, asphalt, nfs mw, modern combat, gangstar vegas, dead trigger can be modded to have better graphics with no lag. Just search for them on google.
Example :
gangstar vegas graphics patch ( works perfectly for tab 2 on medium)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342054
Real racing 3 can be patched via rr3 gfx app on play store
