8.9 Games List - Galaxy Tab 8.9 Themes and Apps

Guys,
As there a quite a few with the 8.9 I'd be grateful if you could list from your experiences the best games to have on the tab.
Thanks

Modern Combat 3 appears in the market, but files downloading fail (device not compatible)

Modern Combat 3 works perfecly

Modern Combat 3 and Asphalt 6 both say this device is not compatible, may be my ROM though.
Nova 2, Dead Space, and Shadowgun all work incredible

FIfa 12, Fieldrunners, Monopoly by EA, Train Crisis.

World of ggoo is pissing me off. I'm on the level in the world where you have to float a pentagon across a spiked gap with three ballons then float it in the center of the gap and lower them down. Wtf lol

I would love it if someone could make the PSP Version of Gunpey.
Loved that game and it would be great for a tablet!

It would be nice if you clarify which ROM you are using to make sure that we can enjoy same with you

Sorry, I asked this guy about the ROM.

1. Death Rally (global launch in March, now in Canada and Finland)
2. World of Goo
3. Where's my water?

Modern Combat 3 from the market didn't work for me, I contacted the people from Gameloft and they replied the following (Still not working for me, but maybe does it for you guys):
To have the game work properly, please follow these steps:
- Uninstall the game
- Delete the SD data saved on the card (the folders below)
o Example (For Hawx): SDCard\gameloft\games\Hawx
- Clear the cookies on your Android device.
1. Start up the Android web browser.
2. Push the “Menu” on the phone to bring up the options for the web browser.
3. Select the “More” options in the lower right hand corner.
4. The “More” option has a lot of features. The one you want is the “Settings” function. Select that option.
5. In the next screen you will see all of the settings for the browser. Scroll down until you find the one that says “Clear all cookie data”. Select that option.
6. You phone will now ask if you really want to clear all of the cookie data. Just select “OK” and all of the Internet cookies will be deleted.
And finally, Install the game.
If it works for you, let me know please..........

Still not working for me...

Samurai 2 is really fun.

Modern combat 3
MC3 still doesn't work on my tab. Version 1.1.1 installs, runs and downloads ~800MB additional files but it loops and restarts repeatedly at Gameloft intro.
Fortunately other good 3D games are working e.g. Nova 2 or Shadowgun ...

Same for me...

Thanks in advance.

Ultimate Galaxy S2 HD Game Compatibility Guide

Welcome to the Ultimate Galaxy S2 HD Game Compatibility Guide!!
I felt that many game comparability lists online are either out of date or providing not enough information, so I decided to compile my own list for everyone to enjoy. I am going to include HD games and other popular titles.
So here is my dedicated (and will be continuously updated ) full game compatibility list (WITH VERSIONS)
This list requires Chainfire 3D (Pro highly reccomended) to run some of the games. Plugins will be listed with each entry. Chainfire 3D can be found HERE :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087427
Enjoy!
NO CHAINFIRE REQUIRED :
This list is kind of a no-brainer but I thought I would include it just to be nice.

NVIDIA PLUGIN :
BackBreaker HD - Game runs fine but has a texture problem with the players. Chainfire has included a shader that removes the error messages.
Galaxy on Fire 2 (1.02) - works great, no texture problems like some have reported with other versions
Pinball HD - Works beautifully
T-Racer HD (1.1.0) - Seems to have some texture problems on menu but game itself is very playable
ShadowGun - Runs great *NEW*
Sprinkle
Monster Madness - Doesn't Work
History Great Battles Medieval - Doesn't load past menus
POWERVR PLUGIN :
Gangstar: West Coast Hustle (Galaxy S version) - Runs great but has funny fall-down glitch during cutscenes
Need for Speed : Hot pursuit - Works fine
Shadow Guardian HD (Galaxy S version) - version 1.0.2 works
The Settlers HD - Works Great
Sacred Odyssey - Doesn't Work : Loads the main menu but crashes upon starting a new game
QUALCOMM PLUGIN :
Dead Space
Need for Speed shift
If you have anything to add that I have not included, just let me know, I will test it and include it on the list.
I do not condone piracy and will not provide links to APKs of specific versions. Thank you.
Thanks to Chainfire for making an amazing App. All of these games were tested on Touch X Power+ ROM 1.0 with Siyah's Kernel 2.0.
I install Blackstab version for S1 and it works fine on S2 with PVR plugín.
You don't need the Tegra 2 plugin for the Samauri game. There's a version on the Market that runs flawless on GSII
Dungeon Defenders First Wave works for me without any need for Chainfire 3D.
Any news about this?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Anyone else have a problem with pinball hd for tegra?
I bought it through the market and it worked great. since the last update though the menu text has vanished. see attachment
If a new version has compatibility issues, I would recommend finding an older version around the net. You already paid for it, so it isn't piracy.
Cool topic, I reserve this post and will update it as I will buy most games and test them.
What I can say so far is that every game I've tested using emulators (PSX, GBA, SNES) has worked flawlessly.
good point, thanks
Do anyone tested riptide gp 1.1? It loads for me but exit to OS when starting a race.
some of the games show messed up graphics with all whites any idea?
Can anyone confirm shadow guardian? been itching to play it
Ive got Dead Space working using Qualcomm plugin,
Need For Speed Shift also works using Qualcomm
I installed Gangstar: Miami Vindication on my SGS2 running android 2.3.3. and all 3d objects like houses, people, cars, almost everything were grayscale/ white. Houses were white boxes... Where is the problem? I have seen this for few more games. one I remember was splinter cell which was working but all was white with shadows.
Any news about Gameloft games such as Shadow Guardian,Backstab releasing for the SII?I dont want to root my device for them.waiting for their proper version for the SII
This game "Gangstar: Miami Vindication" is lagging when I use my S2 device.
People/Driving Movement is stopped intermittently.
Anyone experienced the same issue?

2/multi-player offline games?

Hi, does anyone know of fun offline 2-player or multiplayer games? I'm thinking stuff like monopoly (which seems to be kindle fire exclusive on Android) or various iPad sheep games. Maybe even quizzes. I only know of 2-player reactor, any other suggestions?
You could try Fruit ninja THD, Guerilla BOB THD, and Lets Golf 3.
Fruit Ninja THD allows multiplayer? It didn't allow it on my phone, didn't try the tablet one yet though (had problems when I installed once, then I went with Fruit Slice).
I have two multiplayer games on my tab:
Glow Hockey 2 (allows 2 players to play against eachother)
Gravity Guy (up to 4 players)
"2 player reactor" is not bad for a quick game with someone. There is also a 4 player version if you're feeling extra social
https://market.android.com/details?id=coolcherrytrees.games.reactor
TicTacToe, chess, checkers, connect4 ??

Thanks, though these aren't exactly very social games except for connect4. Chess/checkers just take pretty long (gonna install them anyway).
So far what I've collected are:-
2 player whack a mole
Blokish (4 player only)
Glow Hockey 2 (this seems to lag)
Paper War for 2 players
PhoneFraze (not VERY fun... probably need to buy some of the expansions)
Will be checking out connect 4 and related. Have I pretty much exhausted the options yet? =)
How about billiards? Pool is a fun single device 2 player game.
Glow hockey 2 and reactor is the only i got
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda premium
Darn, Jenga was available yesterday but it doesn't run on the Tab! That would have been cool....
There's tons of billiards/pool games, any recommendations?

the Widgets list is good BUT we already have a dedicated Gamer's thread that's already in the proper section. plus has actual links to the marketplace for the games listed. it's already extensive and has people that confirm the list of what's working or not. not just listing games period cuz its in the marketplace. If you want to see it just click on the link in my sign.
I think the Widgets list/thread would be a great idea since there is not one yet.
edit: just checked your list out again..lmfao You have alot up there that's not compatible with Prime. they won't even show up in marketplace for Prime. you list alot of cracked apps or ones that had to have build.prop edited to get to work on Prime..lol.

most of the time ones not listed in marketplace have to be hacked or whatever to get to work. Or if you somehow get a hold of an apk from an Acer500 or Xoom tablet of that game. Since those devices run the same resolution. Plus there is no way for you to link to getting the game because since its for another device, it'll be considered Wares. And its against forum rules to post links to apk that are paid apps for free. that would be what alot of those Gameloft and other games you listed would be.
@Blackinjun I need link to Madden12 to update like the rest in my OG post.
to the op, I seriously think we need a widget one though. to show ones that work and those optimized for tablets. maybe even a brief description of them. Out of the box. Prime definitely lacks a good amount of choice for Widgets. I'd be interested in that kind of thread as there are people who love Widgets and the functionality they bring without having to open up an app.

Games with Native Gamepad Support

Just recently purchased a PS3 controller after sir_earl was able to emulate native gamepad support in his Sixaxis app. After using it very successfully with my Prime, I find that I am pretty much only playing games with gamepad support. Currently I rotate back and forth between GTA III, Shadowgun THD, Riptide GP, and Cordy. How about anyone else? Please list any and all games with native gamepad support. Also, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, if a game has Xperia Play support then it will also respond as if it has the same aforementioned gamepad support. And if a mod deems it worthy enough I could see this being pinned at the top. I promise to have it nicely formatted.
I would like to keep this list to only games people have actually tested in person. Thanks.
Complete Compatibility
Grand Theft Auto III (Rockstar Games)
Shadowgun THD (MADFINGER Games)
Riptide GP (Vector Unit)
Shine Runner (Vector Unit)
Cordy (Silver Tree Mediahttps://market.android.com/developer?pub=SilverTree+Mediahttps://market.android.com/developer?pub=SilverTree+Media
Sleepy Jack (Silver Tree Mediahttps://market.android.com/developer?pub=SilverTree+Mediahttps://market.android.com/developer?pub=SilverTree+Media)
Reckless Racing HD (polarbit)
Reckless Racing 2 (polarbit)
Sonic CD (SEGA of America)
Sonic 4: Episode 1 (SEGA of America)
Jett Tailfin Racers THD (NVIDIA Tegra Partners)
Canabalt HD (Kittehface Software)
Gunman Clive (Bertil Hörberghttps://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Bertil+Hörberg)
Another World (DotEmu)
Somewhat Compatible
Muffin Knight (Angry Mob Games)
You can add Sleepy Jack and Shine Runner to that list. I've also been looking around for games that have native gamepad support. Some work, but not very well.
Sonic CD works great with gamepad.
Both are working with Gamepad
Reckless Racing HD (polarbit)
Reckless Racing 2 (polarbit)
Basically any good emulator will have gamepad support. I still use the oid series but finding them troublesome on 4.0. Fpse is an obvious choice for a sixaxis controller as well.
If you can map your gamepad buttons to android keyboard input there's a lot of games you're able to control. For example many work with the xperia play layout. e.g. Sonic 4 Episode 1. Also the non tegra version of Samurai II works this way.
Then for other games like Zenonia series, there is a specific layout, that can be found in the web.
I was really hoping gameloft would jump on this sooner or later. Their games suffer the most from touch only controls imho. They screem for gamepad support^^
Somewhat a pity that you cannot use Gamepads on the Riptide GP Demo. As in "test if your controller is compatible before purchasing".
Along with this can we also get a list of emulators?

I was really hoping gameloft would jump on this sooner or later. Their games suffer the most from touch only controls imho. They screem for gamepad support^^

If you're willing to do a short write up that is easy and clear to understand, I would love to host/format it and add it to the list under an appropriate header.

Along with this can we also get a list of emulators?

Sure thing. The only emulator I've used so far is N64oid, which requires a touch profile in Sixaxis and therefore doesn't meet the standards this list requires. Remember though, I only want to add games/emulators that have actually been tested and verified to work natively, no workarounds.

Somewhat a pity that you cannot use Gamepads on the Riptide GP Demo. As in "test if your controller is compatible before purchasing".

It really is a well done game. I was hesitant at first because racing games in general have never been my thing, but then I saw it was done by the same people who made Hydro Thunder, and I used to play the hell out of that game in the arcades growing up.
What controller are you trying to use with it?

The emulator scene on the Android Market seems to be fairly fluid. Sometimes a bunch of them get taken down, and other replace them. Just search in the market and go for the highest ranked one for the emulator du jour.

Sonic CD works great with gamepad.

Hey, I must've glossed over this the first time around. Looking at its reviews on the Market, it seems like people have been having compatibility and controller issues with ICS?

Sonic episode one works. The d pad and the r3 to jump.

R3? As in clicking in the right analog stick? That's upsetting. It would obviously be way better if it were one of the four main buttons. Oh well. I know Muffin Knight has sort of worked for me, and similar to Sonic's R3 it uses the "Up" button to jump instead of a face button. I ended up making a touch profile because it just works better.
I'll add it to the list though. I guess that means Sonic 4 works as well?
Jett Tailfin Racers THD came out today. I've had my eye on this one in the Tegra Market since January as it promised Mario Kart-style play with native controller support. Haven't heard any opinions on it yet though.
this thread is now linked in my sticky thread. The Official Tegra3/Prime Gamer's Thread. help the op build up this list if games you come across meet guidelines in his op. this lists, especially mines, aren't easy to put together. I only use the prime tablet itself for my list. very long sessions of copy n paste..lol. my dock will be here soon though.
Personal testing has shown me that both recently released Canabalt HD and Gunman Clive have full native gamepad support.
However, the two games are listed as only having specifically Xperia Play Optimization/Support (though Gunman Clive says it has support for other input methods, but doesn't list them). Gunman Clive, in particular, has an options screen similar to Shadowgun THD where you edit the controls by clicking on whichever gamepad button you prefer to use. Very nice.
What I would like to take away from this is that Xperia Play Optimization means native gamepad support exists to some extent. It may not be full support, however, so I would categorize it along with Muffin Knight if the implementation is not ideal. Please test any Xperia Play Optimized games you might already have with your controller and let me know the results. Thanks.
Alright folks, I spent my afternoon installing and testing games. All tested using a ps3 controller (and yes, I have an app purchasing problem. As far as vices go, it could be worse). If I get time over the weekend, I'll try some more games.
Full Support
Eve of Genesis HD: Yes, Square works as the confirm button, L1 pulls up the menu. Works well.
Edge: Yes!
Edge Extended: Yes!
Overkill: Yes, you might have to disable the back key in the options, though. Otherwise firing would make the game exit for me. Otherwise, worked great.
Pac-Man Championship Edition: Yes!
Radiant HD: Everything works, even switching weapons.
Samuraii Vengence II: It technically works, but the button mapping on the ps3 is terrible. You have to use select and start to attack, with clicking the right stick to roll.
Symphony of Eternity: Yes, Square works as the confirm button, L1 pulls up the menu. Works well.
Zen Pinball: Yes, you can control the flippers. Haven't figured out how to launch the ball, but being able to use the flippers is good enough, IMO.
Zenonia 3: Yes. I would assume 4 as well, but haven't verified yet.
Partial
Final Space: Can control the ship, but no button will fire
Doodle Jump: Menus work, but the game is obviously built for tilt control
Impossible: Jump works, but no way to set progress flag.
R-Type: You can control the ship with d-pad or left analog, but no button fires. Playable if you set the option to auto fire.
Reckless Getaway: Almost perfect. Car controls great, but no way to use special pickups other than tapping on the screen.

how you get gta3 to work properly with controller. my controller can move the character around but the buttons don't do anything. plus I didn't where to map actual hardware controller buttons in gt3 settings.
with gunman Clive, my controller works but the button for jump is merged with shoot. so i can shoot by pressing a button and if I press the button for jump, it jumps and shoots at the same time..lol

Awesome post man, thanks. I'll get to editing the list later tonight. (Made your text small so the quote wasn't so huge.)
