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

Air Attack HD Lite (free)

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.

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
