I knew I forgot to mention one.

They briefly had O&C as a facebook game, but refused to fix all the bugs, and because they were getting so many complaints about them, instead of fixing the bugs, they shut the facebook game down.

Cheers will give some of these a try :)

Im looking for a decent 2D/3D Shooter like R-Type/1942 and such

Ive heard of a live wallpaper thats similar but alas cant find it.

Not exactly a side scroller, but a similar 3D idea, great game too

You might try installing NVs TegraZone app, that gives you a heads up on games that actually use the graphics capabilities.

Speaking of TegraZone, Dark Meadow: The Pact is Tegra 3 exclusive and looks pretty mean, it tells me it is compatible with my TF101 (Tegra 2) but it won't load after install

Download Free

The only thing I will say about NOVA 3 is that it runs a bit like arse on Tegra platforms, and I have no idea why. Apparently the game runs fine on an SGS3, which while it has a different processor, the horsepower is comparable. A bit of a shame, as it looks like a good game, but I find the choppiness of the game an annoyance.

Ran like sh** on my TF101 when it was running ICS, but since installing JellyBean it runs great, nice and smooth and the compass look setting is pretty fun, bit difficult to control but feels like VR

Gameloft's Block Breaker 3 game isn't too bad if you can overlook the fact that it's freemium (You can play for free but you have to buy more balls), Can Knockdown 2 is also pretty good, as is Paper Toss

not trying to hijack a thread, but there are some really good suggestions on here! Glad this thread was created! Cheers, OP! (Y)

There's also my game ;) https://play.google....=com.tangledapp

Good job, man! I'm going to have to try this out, eventually! (Y)

Awesome peeps. Some great suggestions in this thread.

Will be downloading this lot tonight and trying them out. Loving checking this thread every few days and getting more games to sift thru.

Its all very well chancing your luck on the app store (tho folk seem to give everything 4-5 stars), but very handy when you have actual recommendations to go on.

Keep em coming folks :)

Don't know if you are willing to pay for any games, as most you can find for free, but I'll stick my nose in and suggest Assassin's Creed. It's really not too bad on a mobile. I know I sure do love it! Global Outbreak is pretty fun too, as well as Subway Surfer, Angry Gran Run, or Streaker! (Streaker is hilarious, IMO). Another one of my fav's is NBA Jam...BOOM SHAKKALAKKA! Most awesome basketball game I've ever played, and quite funny too. The announcer is awesome, just like back in the SNES days.

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers by Karthik Mudaliar SpaceX reportedly wants to sell mobile phone plans directly to consumers in the United States as part of a wider expansion of Starlink. According to a report from the Financial Times, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell discussed the plan with investors during the company’s recent IPO roadshow. The company is also said to be considering building a terrestrial mobile network to complement Starlink’s satellite coverage. The plan is quite different from how Starlink currently operates in the U.S. mobile market. SpaceX already provides satellite connectivity for T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service, but T-Mobile remains responsible for the subscription, billing, and customer support. A Starlink-branded mobile service would give SpaceX control of the customer relationship instead. It could also turn the company from a partner of traditional mobile operators into a direct competitor. T-Mobile also began testing its Starlink-powered satellite service in early 2025. The beta was initially limited to text messaging and was also available to some AT&T and Verizon customers. The service has since expanded to support limited data access through selected apps, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, AccuWeather, and AllTrails. It is designed to provide a connection in areas where normal cell towers are unavailable, rather than replace a conventional mobile network. However, if SpaceX actually has a plan to serve nationwide, it needs to do more than just satellite networks and actually support on-ground operations. It can also partner up with existing carriers and become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). With that said, SpaceX has already spent heavily to support its mobile ambitions. Just last year, the company agreed to acquire wireless spectrum licences from EchoStar in deals worth a combined $19.6 billion. EchoStar's spectrum includes AWS-4, H-Block, and AWS-3 frequencies that could be used for both satellite and terrestrial communications. According to a SpaceX securities filing, the Federal Communications Commission approved the transaction in May 2026, although it is not expected to close until late 2027. There's no official statement by SpaceX for now. Pricing, availability, and other details remain unknown. Source: Financial Times
