What would you guys say are the best games available for the Nook?
I too am looking for a consolidated list of the best games.
Specifically, let's try and make this thread a list of the games that are stable on the NC, and also the specific versions of said games.
Let's post the method to legally acquire these games and what is needed to get the best version running on the NC, and/or the tricks necessary to have the best experience.
Of course Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons.
Also emulators + games (Snes,Genesis,etc)
All work great no tweaking..
Pocket Legends owns me right now
They say its WoW in your pocket, works great on NC
You can download for free on the pocketlegends.com android forum
sent from my NookColor
I've been playing Mini Squadrons and Grave Defense.
Bowquest
Doodle Jump
Gun Bros Beta
Hungry Shark
Meteor Blitz
Reckless Racing
Squibble
Zenonia
Zombie Defense
...all working great for me.
One thing to note: I have squareparts added.
My list(I only add games that work great):
4 Player reactor
Angry Birds
Astro
Basketball Shot
Bonsai Blast
Bow Man
Buka HD
Can Knockdown
Crazy God
Crush the Castle
Dungeon Hunter
eagle Nest
Fast and Furious: Adrenalin 3D
FireFox
GuitarHero 5
Gun Bros
Heavy Gunner
Homerun Battle 3D
Krazy Kart Racing
MiniGore (THE FUNEST GAME OF ALLL TIME)
NinJump
My Paper Plane
Penguin Golf
PSX4Droid
Rope Cut
Speed Forge 3D
Tank Hero
Totem HD
Transformers G1
PLants VS Zombies
These all look great. It seems like games that need to be rendered in real time(aka 3D games) will perform the best. The second will be games that use vectors, such as angry birds.

Pocket legends
angry birds season
zeonia
crazy snowboarder
For the Gameloft games, which method are people using to download?
On their website, you have to select a phone model and then enter a phone number.
Is there a best device model to choose? I was thinking of selecting the Galaxy Tab, and then sending the download link to my Droid. Then I was thinking, would it be better to select the Droid itself?
I was thinking it would be best to select a device that has the same or similar resolution as the NC, but... the Galaxy Tab has a better GPU, a PowerVR SGX540, compared to the NC's GPU (same as the Moto Droid and other TI OMAP devices: PowerVR SGX530)... so, not really sure. Trial and error usually doesn't lead to too many problems, but I've never bought any Gameloft games, no idea how it works in terms of getting different app versions, specifically for activiation or anything (if there is any activation).
edit:
And for games that don't show up in the market, what's a good legal method of getting these games? Just download on another Android device and load that apk onto the NC?
On my NC, I have the latest Market version found in another thread, but there are still a ton of apps that are not showing up when I perform a search. It's not an issue of only paid apps not showing up, even Firefox is absent on my NC's market.
Same as other people, but poolbreak pro is also good.
Robo Defense works, but requires Square Parts.
Disco, where'd you find Plants vs Zombies?

Ok, yea I'm using that. I thought it was something else because another person said about square parts earlier.
I haven't played Pocket Legends yet but I plan on changing that in the next few minutes!
All of the rest have worked fine for me. I spend most of my time playing with Nesdroid, Dungeon Hunter, and Angry Birds.
Also, Game Dev Story works great.

Would also love to know the answer to this question. I have both hero of sparta and dungeon hunter for my og droid but when i try and load them it says something to the effect of incompatible device.
If u could get spiderman total mayhem fro gameloft to DL the extra data I would say that is hands down the best playing/looking mobile game ever. I love it on my droid

So I just checked out Pocket Legends while I was on my lunch break. Thankfully I pretty much get to make my own schedule because my usual one hour break turned into about a two and half hour one. Thank you, thank you, thank you bigted41 for the suggestion!
Also, if you're in the market for a good, old school 8-bit RPG - Gurk runs pretty well.
Words with friends doesn't seem to support the resolution properly, you can't pull the rightmost tile so you have to trick it to get that tile
Ya it sucks H.A.W.X doesnt display properly and its my favorite game.

Dungeon Defenders is a great game on the phone.
Captivate 2.2.1 OCed
Atrix Root
Nexus 1 2.3.3
Jet car stunts
reckless racing
don't work
Thankfully, SpeedX does work, the only game I actually play. Mini squadron isn't bad either.
I got this game from the market called Samurai II: Vengeance. I believe it's the only game on market right now that only supports the tegra 2 chip other than dungeon defenders if i am not mistaken. it runs so smooth and graphics are just stunning. it's a must have on our phones!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.madfingergames.SamuraiII&feature=search_result
I tried a few of the "top" games and found that "Unblock Me" doesn't work well (resolution issues) but is playable. I also cannot get the "Live" Poker or Blackjack to function (force closes while trying to join a game--software issues?).
Angry Birds, Slice It, Alchemy, and X Construction all seemed to work properly though.
Jet car stunts works just fine for me.
Air Traffic Lite doesn't work right now. I emailed them about it.

That's an EA game right?
I think that EA has to just set a variable in their server to allow the Atrix to download all their games. I have heard the same about Need for Speed Shift. It would seem that it will just be a quick fix on their end.
If you have another phone could you use titanium backup to transfer the files and data over? Or just manually copy them from the SD of another phone?
When mine comes I am going to try to find a way to copy all of my gameloft games over with titanium backup. Their policy says "one phone one game", mine says "I already paid once, don't push your luck".

Havent been able to load X-Plane

I'm addicted to home run battle 3d HD. It looks awesome on this phone. Just make sure you get the paid HD version and not the standard free one.

Samurai II: Vengeance is Awesome Paid App
Just downloaded Monster Madness works great haven't had to muck playing time to say whether it was worth the ten dollars. But both games look awesome.

Weird, the lite version worked for me.
Samurai II and Dungeon Defenders are the two must gets. Just tried Dungeon Hunter (Diablo like game from gameloft) and it works fine but graphics don't compare those games. Modern Warfare sandstorm works but has some graphical issues which don't affect gameplay.
Sims 3 & Worms
I previously purchased "Sims 3" & "Worms" for my Captivate. Both games installed on my Atrix but when I go to download the data they need it gives me an unsupported device error.. Anyone else getting this error? I am on WiFi..

JET CAR STUNTS WORKS. Freakin awesome on the Atrix..paid version 1.05 supports NVIDIA chipsets.
mega jump doesn't work.
Doodle jump does work.
Today I've seen screenshots of Infinity Blade for iOS and I couldn't say anything except "WOW", is there anything comparable for Android OS and for NC in particular?
The best graphics I've seen so far was in Gameloft's Asphalt 5, but I can't say I was really impressed, so I looking for something better.
Check out dungeon defender, it uses the unreal engine pretty well, not to mention I like the gameplay
I am very happy with the graphics and smoothness of Nova from gameloft. But i am a fps kinda person.

I am using the dual boot version of HC v4. Overclocked to 1.1ghz. I can get it working on stock 1.1 also, but the screen is cut off on the sides of the screen.

I've tried Dungeon Defenders, it's pretty nice looking, but the framerate is bad with any quality settings,
I wonder whether if this is because of some compatibility issue, or just because NC's video chip is more than 5 years old?
Just curious but the Samurai 2 game looks amazing, i would like to try it but on hc it force closes and in froyo it loads but says the device is in compatable, anyone have any insight into this?
Needs a Tegra device, same problem with monster madness
Samurai 2 looks amazing indeed, but it requires nVidia Tegra 2 device to run, so NC doesn't satisfy the minimal system requirements.
On one hand it's good, that android got a hardware platform with good graphics capabilities, that tends to become a standard, but on the other it's unfortunate, that NC and most of other devices are based on older platforms and will not be compatible with upcoming software.
3D games: Nova, Spiderman, HAWX, Modern Combat, Dungeon Defenders, Pocket Legends, Dungeon Hunter, Hero of Sparta, NFS:Shift, Asphalt, Raging Thunder2, Crazy Snowboard, Battle Bears, Heavy Gunner, Deadly Chambers, Skies of Glory, Back Breaker, gunbros, meteor blitz, minigore, tiki golf, bioball...

Has anyone actually tried it, Dungeon Defenders runs (pretty well on mine though others have had lag) and it uses the same Unreal3 engine.

You can't try it on the Nook Color because it pops up an error if you run it on any device that doesn't have Tegra 2.
The Galaxy Tab is fully capable of running the game, but they won't let you because they're shills for Nvidia.
I like Quake and Quake II.......Also I think Mario 64 looks awesome...
Please name some top android games, i prefer RPG games. Thanks.
ZENONIA 4 is fantastic.

Try
Crusade Of Destiny
Soul Saver 2 - Korean RPG with Zenonia-like graphics
SoulCraft THD
You can play PS1 RPGs using FPSE
Zenonia is wicked but Robotek is my main battery eater now
The World of Magic - good MMORPG
Irunner is an excellent game.
Temple Run is better
All those games are good but they take up too much battery. Any small games?
small games...
Burn the rope(+)
laufen laufen bär (run run bear)
Wind up knight
Spirit HD
PewPew2
Galcon
GalaxIR
Quell
Quell:Reflect
and that new game called Photon
all area really awsome..
else, rpg? GURK and GURK2!!! =D they shouldn't eat much battery and are extremely addictive xD!
I've been playing Defender and Defender 2. Pretty addictive. There must be lot's of games I haven't tried and I'd love it. too bad my HTC Desire screen won't make me enjoy it 100%. For example, I'd love to try SimCity style, Airport City where it's a progressive game but the screen size makes things kind of unconfortable.
Anyway, Defender and Defender II, Air Control, Airport Director (love it!).
Zenonia,Crusade of Destiny
play age of empires
Any game from Hexage is awesome especially Robotek, love that game
But if you like Zenonia 4 that much you should try Destinia, awesome graphics and imo better than zenonia if the storyline was longer.

As soon as the bug causing it to crash is fixed, XCOM will be the best game on this tablet IMO.

I just downloaded that and it's crashing also, almost 4 gigs it better be good. Did you try to delete the folder in the root of SD card? I did but still crashes. I'm gonna try to delete then open again, maybe it's like when gta San Andreas came out and you have to delete then re add the folder. When I get home I'll try and see if that worked and report back if it does.

I second that.
Impossible and infinite flight (both with full resolution) works more than great.
NFS Most Wanted works great but not the best on racing games.
Minecraft pocket edition, fancy & smooth. (Playing at full resolution!)
And other games works more than well in this tablet. (I played almost every game I had at 60 fps).

ravensword shadowlands seemed pretty good but i never got around to really playing it as i didnt care for the controls without a controller.
asphalt 8 runs really well for a racing game, but i liked ridge racer slipstream, even through the framerate was horrible.
hill climb racing is always fun and flappy bird is easier on the big screen.
punch hero was one of my favorites on my epic and it runs great.
segas sonic ports run really well but you need a controller. sonic just doesnt lend itself to touchscreens
i really want to try playing square enixs games, like the final fantasy ports and chaos rings, but i dont feel like paying $15 for a game i might play a few times
BADLANDS is amazing and very addictive. its like flappy bird, but mixed with limbo. its a great game that i highly recommend https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frogmind.badland
A good side scrolling runner game that doesnt seem to get any notice is Polara. I got it as the FAOTD, but i really liked it.
