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

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

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.

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.

http://www.gameloft.com/android-games/top/ GameLoft is a significant developer for iDevice's games. They started porting some of them over but not offered on the Android market. Offered on their own "market."
Also you should either alphabetically list them or somewhere in the thread mention that: the listings of these games does not stand for ANY ranking of any sort. Otherwise some people might mistake that the #1 suggested game is on the very top.
alchemy is a pretty cool game
but.... HANDS DOWN--- Kwaak 3 Arena is the best thing to show off our phones.. Map props to Andershizzle for his hard work on this... its in the development section...

I like Crystallight Defense. It's a tower defense game. I think it looks a lot better than Robo Defense and I'm surprised it's not on the top free list.
I also want to submit a preemptive nomination for Angry Birds. I can't wait for that to be released.

Crystallight Defense is a hybrid has a "trial" and paid version so its not 100.00% "free" game. Looks good though, will definitely give this a try.

Were you able to get Need for speed full game, I do think it is really good, but want the full game, and when i try to get the full version it tells me i must be on the Verizon network to get it, well it being a vibrant im on tmobile, so does anyone have a fix for this? or a link to a fix?
How did you get Gangstar working?
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

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".

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..

You're thinking of "Samurai II: Vengeance THD". A lot of companies are now adding "THD" to the end of their game names. That's the "TegraHD" symbol and it basically just shows the games that are listed in the TegraZone.
I'd say the big ones are Dungeon Defenders (you already have it), Fruit Ninja THD (you have the normal version I think, but same thing), and Galaxy on Fire 2 THD (when it comes out this month). Samurai is a fun game, but not long-term. I had it for iPhone (same game) and it's good, just not great. There's some Zombie game (check out TegraZone) but don't know how good it is.
I can't wait for Galaxy on Fire 2. On iOS it's a *phenomenal* game. Add in Vendetta Online (in April I think) and you have 2 incredible games coming out for Tegra devices.

It's too bad the real good games like Reckless Racing don't work on the Atrix.
grave defense and gun bros
Samurai II looks amazing!
If you haven't downloaded the TegraZone app from Nvidia, you should - they're going to collect all the best on Tegra games in there.
Know any game like this?
Good graphics and good game generally ?
You should download the Tegra Zone from the market. It will tell you all the games optimized for our Tegra 2 device.
Yes i already got it .. nothing there.
Only the Fruit Ninja THD
It is Reckless Racing but unable to get it runs on Atrix.
There are a few tegra 2 racing games coming for the Atrix 4G. Though I can recommend a few:
- Reckless Racing: best graphics
- Raging Thunder 2: best fun and good graphics
- Jet Car Stunts: good graphics and good fun, but much more a platform game than a racing game (if you like stunts)
I have all 3 running perfectly on my Atrix.
Asphalt 6 HD is the best but I dont see it on the market anymore. I have it and it runs great on the atrix. Makes all the other games look like crap.
I thought I saw Asphalt 6 on Applanet, but I could be wrong. I have Asphalt 5 HD and its fantastic.
Need For Speed: Shift
sadly that is still the best racing game for android
Bang Bang Racing(like Reckless Racing but better) is coming April tegra zone says there just 1 1/2 more days of april so it should be released pretty soon as well as T-Racer HD and Galaxy on Fire also Tegra games set to be released in April. Hope they deliver
Asphalt 6 HD
The tegra zone games look cool, but the dates seem iffy. I don't think that the games will be out by the end of today, so lets see what tegra zone does.

facetubespam, you have installed NFS Shift, how did you get it going? I have a G2/DZ, it works perfectly, but on my Atrix it gives me hard time getting the required updates once the game is installed without any trouble, giving me error message saying game support not available in my country, go to ea website for more information/support.

Greets all. Not a big gamer on my cell, but was watching a release video for the Galaxy S II and thought GT Racing looked like fun. But when I surfed their from my Atrix, it said my phone wasn't supported.
Going to gameloft from my PC, it asked for my carrier and AT&T isn't listed. Are the two at odds or something? Would love to try this out and see how it plays on the Atrix... but I guess there is no option?
You should check out Riptide. I have only played the demo but I will admit it was quite pleasing graphically wise.
Ditto on Asphalt 6 HD.
Asphalt 6 doesnt work for me(lg o2x game), where can i find it to atrix?
Was on engadget today and saw that rockstar is going to release GTA 3 for the following devices.
Apple iOS Devices: iPad 1 & 2, iPhone 4 & 4S, iPod touch 4th Generation
Android Phones: HTC Rezound, LG Optimus 2x, Motorola Atrix 4G, Motorola Droid X2, Motorola Photon 4G, Samsung Galaxy R, T-Mobile G2x
Android Tablets: Acer Iconia, Asus Eee Pad Transformer, Dell Streak 7, LG Optimus Pad, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1, Sony Tablet S, Toshiba Thrive
Think we have a shot or not enough power?
We definitely don't have enough power because we can barely run any of the higher end games (shadowgun) I'm sure that well be able to get it running, but probably terribly. Also this game doesn't even have that great of graphics... just bad optimization

GT racing, Asphalt 6, Modern Combat 2, Sacred Odyssey all run great for me. That being said with Gameloft already having Gangstar (which runs great BTW) there isn't much need for an actual GTA. GTA3 might be worth it if there was a way to put the Real GTA mod on it.
fine, fine maybe shadowgun was a bad example but what about 9mm, riptide, fast five, dungeon defenders, etc. those don't even force you to have a dual core device... remember we're pushing 1024x600(thats 614,400) pixels of 3D on old hardware... also I'm not so sure about the definition of "it runs fine" these days. Some people seem to convince themselves that things run great when they're not (myself included)

How did you get the crosshair in the middle, the damage indication, and the dragable looking area to fill the whole screen??? I've tried tons of different versions to no avail I've even looked at your thread and used the version listed to no avail. thanks in advance
yea gangstar makes gta3 look kind of dated.
I did notice a bunch of slowdowns trying high quality games on my Nook however a second later I noticed I was running on the conservative governor and facepalmed myself.
Switched to performance governor and everything was a breeze...
One way or another, we won't know until it's released, right?
I wouldn't be surprised if it runs. The NC is a little gem. That said, how is it going to playable on a touchscreen? And... an honest question... is GTA III really that fun? I just picked it up in a steam pack and it didn't take too long for me to move onto Vice City (and then stop playing that a little while later). It'll probably be more impressive to run on a phone/tablet but it felt like an early tech demo compared to a lot of "modern" games.

The entire screen is bound to controls, take a look at the picture of it on engadget... its a little overwhelming
Touchscreen controls urgh...
I still pair a PS3 Controller via Bluetooth every time I play PS1 / N64 games on my Nook... I really hope they add Bluetooth Controller support to the game.
Yeah, having real controller support would be nice. I did see the screenshots, and it's just really hard to play games with a virtual d-pad and even just *two* buttons (to me), let alone 6 or 8, especially when it includes what are supposed to be shoulder buttons.
On a side note, I mucked around a little with the onlive app, and that suffers from the same thing (the virtual controls). That said, OnLive does have newer, more compelling games, although it requires a constant, good data connection.
Nook Color seems to me to be able to push Dreamcast level graphics at 1024x600. Most games with that level of graphics seem to run at around 20-30fps at best.
The main reason GTA3 is so much more demanding than seems reasonable is that it's a sandbox game with a large, open world. It's not all that much different than say Elder Scrolls.
Game is out now and market says it should work on the NC. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rockstar.gta3 Anyone got it to work?
It hangs Nook dead rght after intro movies. CM 7.1.0 Stable.
With chainfire nvidia plugin,screen stays black upon launching the app
soooo I take it as a no go. Darn. Well it works on my electrify but as stated earlier the controls take up way to much room. I'll try a wiimote I guess.
Anyone have any luck getting this to run? Would think it would be possible to and to control it with a PS3 controller connected via bluetooth.
Got it to work! Download GTA 3 version 1.1, use chainfire 3D and set default plugin to POWERVR, awful cellphone video below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKN9QRGq09E
EDIT: Will test more in the morning, jump to 1:00 to see 30 seconds of "gameplay" before I flip the car
why do we have to use the powervr plugin? nook color actually has a powervr gpu
I didnt need any plug in. I installed CM7 last night and gta was in "my apps" and it runs better than on my shift. Lol
