Recommended casual games (arcade style, word, puzzle, board) for NC? - Nook Color Themes and Apps

I have Angry Birds (original, seasons, rio), Solitaire multi pack, Frozen Bubble, and Stupid Zombies. Had Doodle Jump but had issues with the tilt functionality (was causing problems with my touchscreen after playing i.e. nothing was working).
Are there any other "casual" games like these that you'd recommend? I am also interested in SNES-like 2-d scrolling adventure/rpgs (have tried Zenonia 2) like Super Mario --- not interested in emulator/ROMS.
I am also looking for a good crossword puzzle app like the B&N one (or any other word-based games). I tried Bonsai Blast and it looked fun but never went fullscreen for me.

Sorry, double post. Hit by accident when I came back to the pc.

3d magic words has been the best word game i've played so far.
I'd like to know of more good ones because my significant other likes them too, and we play them together.
Word Drop (dropwords?) was another decent one.
Both available in the google market.
I'd love to see a list of Nook compatible word/board games floating around here.

Air Control sand Pool Break are two of my faves. Quick and easy to pick up. Typical games last 15 minutes or less (my definition of a "casual game"). Warning: Air Control is deceptively addictive.

Shortyz is a great crossword game. My girlfriend loves it.

I hope these can be defined as casual games, and have them on my NC:
Angry Birds/Angry Birds Seasons/Angry Birds Rio
Doodle Fit--nice puzzle, similar to tangrams in idea (disable twitch so your eyes won't twitch along)
Grow--from a tadpole within a jar to larger environments. Payable game
Meganoid--probably Super Mario like
Paper Toss--toss paper balls into waste basket, with fan blowing

Hi.
I like 250+ solitaire alot. It has a very good version of Freecell.
Freecell is fun because if you are good you can win 2/3 of the time.
By contrast Spider solitaire has a win rate of 1 or 2%.
By the way, what are some recommended poker or backgammon
programs?
I have yet to see any 7 card stud or Omaha poker games in the market,
for example.
Thx, Dave

radiant hd (cool space invaders clone)
evac hd (cool pacman type game)
totemo hd (like bubble pop)
aces bubblepopper
also i cant get enough of the game Deathworm.

Overkill, Dead Runner, and Homerun Battle runs fine on my Nook. Im using 1.1.0
PewPew (The malware free original), The Last Defender HD, Cordy, 3D Bio Ball HD
I still can't get Stupid Zombies to show up in the Market and every .apk I have downloaded has not worked. How are you getting it to run on your Nook? Can you PM me the .apk?
Are all these games in the market place??
Here's what I've been playing.
Meteor Blitz: 3d Top-down shooter; left-thumbmoves, right-thumb shoots. At the moment my fav game to play.
PewPew: 2d Another top-down shooter. Remind me of geometry wars for the 360.
Crystal Defence: 2d A final fantasy theamed tower defence game. Very fun, very hard.
Demon Hunter: 2d Side Scrolling action RPG. Kind of messy controls, but fun.
Dungen Hunter: 3d action dungeon grinder. Really fun, but the load times are hell.
Zeonia 2: 2d Top-down action rpg. great rpg, I'm currently 8+ hours into it.
Tower Raider: 3d tower defence. good game, but gameplay is VERY slow and I can see it being frustrating for some.
Good luck, And remember: Buy your games.
Word Feud is great, but sometimes it takes forever for the other player to play their turn. I think Droidwords allows you to play against a computer though.
You all should try "Cordy". It's a beautiful jump'n run game with great graphics
AirAttack HD Lite is also very nice to look at and fun to play
Hi, I'm new here, signed up yesterday. I just got a Nook Colour and Modded it.
I have some .apk files, a video player and some games.
I'm just not exactly sure where the files should go exactly...
Angry Birds, super dynamite fishing, live holdem, live blackjack, words with friends, word feud. But, finding that I'd rather read lately...
@Kinetic: The easiest thing that I've found to do is load the apks on your SD card and download a file manager (I like Linda, you can find it in the market) and then open the apks with that.
been playing mario 64 on n64oid on my nookie froyo 1ghz and it runs perfectly!!
Been playing pocket legends on both my Evo when out and about and on my NC when I'm at home.
Decent mmo game with cross platform to apple. Account info is on your login so going from one device to another is fine.

The apk files are installable from within a file manager from the market like Astro or ES file manager. If you download applications from the market they should install automatically for you.
Read the faqs for more details. Remember search is your friend!
Both Castelvanias work well on n64oid.

Agreed, good game.
I've had good luck with Touchdown to give better Exchange Syncing (tasks, etc), however I had to actually download the app from their website.
Also am a fan of the Kindle App (for books already purchased), Tecarta Bible, Olive Tree (Beta works best), Nuance's T9 Keyboard, and Plants vs Zombies.

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

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.

Strategy / RTS games recommendations?

Well. i have tried several games already but most games went uninstalled at instant.
Here's what i want/expect:
A strategy / RTS like game - placed in "modern" War, Medieval or Fantasy does not matter.
Landscape games only (it's stupid to hold your tabled sideways to play a game, my opinion.)
Free placeable houses/buildings (any games with pre-built bases or restrictions (Like Empire War Z or Forge of Empires) are not wanted.
Nice 3D graphics (the prettier, the better - so no Clash of Clans "Comic" or 2D-Style graphics)
non-lootable resources when offline/afk. - So when i check in the game only once a day i should still be able to do something. (Dawn of Iron had good graphics, but due to this absence attacks it was impossible to move on)
not extremely pay-to-win.
Well as most games nowadays with RTS (real time strategy), i'm of course referring to the Clash of Clans-Like "build your base" and "drop your units" style
