With the controller? Not sure, but yes you can run them on the tablet no problem.

I would recommend anyone Wayward souls if you like games with a classic 16bit feel in the vein of Dark Souls. Touch controls work really well too.
I don't know if old but Mika Mobile FINALLY released Battleheart Legacy on Android

5 bucks, if Battleheart is anything the asking price is more than worth it. Battleheart had insane replay value for me, and I think this will be the same.
Between this and Terra Battle, well shit, mobile gaming is taking over my console gaming time surprisingly enough

until bloodborne and persona 5
So I guess he's gotten over fragmentation since the same thing kind of happened with iOS? Also, I'm assuming the android developer tools have improved?

Any good ergonomic accessories for tablet gaming? Hours of Monster Strike is taking it's toll on my body. My wrists and neck muscles ache.

Been playing this constantly since it came out, and am loving it. I think it's pushed Pixel Dungeon out of the #1 slot, which is incredible.
Possibly my favorite Match 3 game since the original Puzzle Quest. Kudos!

I've also been playing this pretty solidly since day 1. Great stuff!
The sound on my Galaxy Note 3 is choppy as Hell, though, so I had to switch it off. Also it is annoying how the start-up overrides my podcasts, so I need to start it up (it invariably crashes out when not in use) the game, switch out to my podcast player to set it to play again, and then switch back into the game.
I know it's silly but it's the little technical niggles like these that have stopped me purchasing in-game currency for realmoney so far, even though I've been tempted. I hope they get fixed.
So I got FF4: The After Years, it's pretty nice. But who in their right mind decided to cap the framerate in battles with the speed setting? It's literally increasing the framerate as you select higher battle speed options, so highest speed setting = smoot battles. Normal and below results in jerky looking animations.

$15... ouch.
Civ Rev 2 plays nice. Its the best 4x on android anyway. There is a bug with the google login, it flashes between a loading screen and a google auth page. If you can tap OK on the google auth page when it comes up you are in. Not a deal breaker but bad user experience for a full priced game.
Played an easy game on my Nexus 7. It really makes the Nexus heat up and a couple hours of play pretty much drained the battery. I wish there was a low graphics setting, or battery save mode that would drop some animation.
Is it worth $15? Maybe, if you enjoy Civ in short bursts, or can deal with the heat / battery drain. I bought it as much to support the traditional non-ftp model, and because I really enjoy 4x games. Civ Rev on iOS was really well supported, getting updates with new content a couple years after the initial release, I'm expecting the same here.
I would have taken an android version of the iOS Starbase Orion over this but sadly that isn't an option.

Looks like they removed XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Glad I held off and waited for Enemy Within.

Not in the US? It's showing Hidden Objects Lost Worlds for me.
This was the free app the day before. I'm from germany, so maybe it wasn't available yet in the US at the time of my post.

As mentioned above, Monument Valley is now the FAOTD on the US Amazon Appstore.

OK here's sort of an odd request....are there any Android games that allows players to share replay or "movie" files so we can watch them offline? Kinda like what Call of Duty Black Ops II Theater Mode does, I suppose. Anything like that? I'd love to be able to watch Android games offline via a replay file of some sort.
The sonic all stars racing transforms game let you share your gameplay I think. Not sure if it's offline.
Thanks. I wonder if any of the FPS or Fighting games allow this?
Spelltower is kind of fun.
I love Spelltower. I'm not even sure how it ended up on my phone, but every time I play it I lose an hour of my life.

Not particularly game-related, but there are a few GotG fans here. Anyways, they've been giving away the Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix Vol 1 album for free on the Play Store:

https://play.google.com/store/music...axy_Awesome_Mi?id=Btmdbtfzel2mdiai5ewdjd5nqui
Shows up as 99c for me. Might grab it anyway, thanks!
£5.49 for me!
Yeah I picked it up and listened on the way to work. Such a hard wait for the movie physical release , but that's enough off topic.
Grab this if you have any interest in SRPGs. It's fantastic and likely to be a top contender for my mobile GoTY.

Love the game but it eats battery life like candy. My HTC One gets significantly hot and will go through a full charge in an hour while playing it. Even after 15 minutes, my phone is uncomfortable warn to put back into my pocket.
Lately I've been playing a lot of Pocket Road Trip
From Roofdog. Its the follow up to Extreme Road Trip and Extreme Bike Trip. The mechanics have been super simplified and they've added the "feed the thing other things" function to upgrade your cars.

This is an awesome bundle. Exiles is going to be like a Mass Effect style RPG. And The Deer God is also highly anticipated. They're alphas, but will upgrade to the full version when released.
I'm psyched!
