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
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.
Now in the Android Market, seems to be the first HD gameloft game (besides Asphalt HD). I seriously hope more to come in the next few days, but it all depends on how long gameloft wants to take! Available for $6.99 US

Hello everyone. My nephew has a new Tab 10.1 and it is stock on the latest update (Android version is 3.2). Anyway, he tells me that all the games are incompatible. When he goes to the Tegra Zone even it says that the game is incompatible. He tried sideloading them, but they either force close or say they are incompatible.
I have an Epic 4G Touch and a Tab 7" but never had a similar problem. So, is this a well known issue on the 10.1 or not? Is there a workaround or a solution somewhere (Without root is preferable)? He doesn't live in USA, is that the problem? He's really concerned and his brother runs all the games on his Acer Iconia A500.
What should I tell him?
Thanks in advance...
a suggestion or two
hi,
I have owned 4 different android devices over the years and am currently using a galaxy tab 10.1 running android 3.2 as well, now ive never had a game or app, including tegra, tegra 2 not run...but here would be my suggestions:
Idea #1
since its not just the tegra zone not working, and he tried sideloading then its something with the firmware most likely...I would suggest backing up any important data and performing a factory reset, under settings.
Idea #2
Sign into the device with another google account then he is using, make a new one if possible, this may sound random, but I have experienced many many problems with downloading apps that related back to the android market and more specifically the google account.
here are some games iv'e got, cause u wanted to know
Shine Runner (TEGRA 2)
World Of Goo
Words With Friends
Lets Golf 3 HD (TEGRA 2, I think)
Sprinkle (TEGRA 2)
Topple Tower
Big Top THD (TEGRA 2)
Cordy
Angry Birds RIO
Air Attack HD
Muffin Knight
Asphalt 6 HD
Guerrilla Bob THD (TEGRA 2)
ShadowGun (TEGRA 2)
Fruit Ninja THD (TEGRA 2)
Riptide GP (TEGRA 2, TEGRA 3)
Big Bang Racing (TEGRA 2)
Angry Birds Seasons
...the list goes on

Changing the build.prop on my HP Touchpad to:
ro.product.model=GT-i9100
ro.product.brand=samsung
Allowed it to see all gameloft games in the market place and download the data. I tried this on my Prime but it doesnt seem to work...
Anyone know of a method?
I did the same thing when the apps went on sale. The crappy thing is I bought most of their games on my phone thinking I would be able to just get them in the market when I get my prime but no.
I read somewhere that you could email them and they would give you the apk's for the games you bought if you let them know your email address and your phone number. I emailed them and I'm waiting on their reply. Granted I didn't tell them its for my prime so I'll see what they say.

be careful when editing build prop. there's a guy now who his prime is in some sort of boot loop from doing the same and hasn't been able to fix it yet.
Order and Chaos wont work, the latest update broke it when i was running it on the TF101.
Previously we had to run the Xoom version of the game to get it working, but whatever they did in the update broke it
Its seriously ****e for gameloft not to support the TF. When i did some digging about on their forums, it seemed to be due to a licence problem, IE someone wanted to charge them too much to support the TF/ TFP officially.
Stupid really as im sure TF and the TFP will have a massive share in the tablet market now.

the problem is even with the APK the game does a check when it loads to see if it's compatible, i've gotten MC3 to work but other games will just tell you they aren't compatible when you load them.
it's ****ing lame of them, and i won't support them until they change their policy. ALL tegra2 compat games will work with the prime technically.
Most companies will write games to work with OpenGL ES which means they work automatically for pretty much every phone that has the hardware to support them.
Unfortunately Gameloft had it in their heads for a while that it is a good idea to write directly for each individual phone's processor instead of just creating one copy for OpenGL and being done with it. Thus massive fragmentation ensued.
Things are a little better now, they are releasing newer games directly to the market and those are generally compatible with all devices. When I got my VZW Galaxy Nexus I was very surprised to see that all my Gameloft Games installed right away without issue. (The one exception was Modern Combat 3 which was updated a week later).
I am pretty sure that the only thing keeping these games off the transformer prime is an arbitrary compatibility check. If they work on the old transformer directly from the market they should work on the prime.
Hopefully they give me the apk's, and hope they get updated to work on the prime. Seeing as this a very popular device, hopefully it won't take long. Its the only reason I bought them

maybe we should do the same like people did with Asus and bootloader. start writing them and complaining to them. that by not making their games compatible for TF/TFP devices they are missing out on a huge market share. our devices are more than capable of running their games. I have all the great gameloft games on my Ipad like Modern Combat3, Nova2, Splinter Cell conviction, and lots more. I really wish I could get them for my Prime. I think if enough TF/TFP owners complained to them then we might see the results we want pretty quickly.
Uno HD showed up on my Prime
MW3 and Asphalt 6 HD do NOT show up. which is sad. those are my fav.

Please sign the petition I started.
It's time for Gameloft to get flooded with emails and I decided on starting a petition so it's really easy for everyone to show support. Please pass this along to every forum, twitter and facebook friend you have.

I have Dungeon Hunter 2 working on my Prime, will upload pics ASAP.
And post a tut if enough people want to know how.
i wish people that had some gameloft games working would at least explain how... telling us that you have such and such game working doesnt help anyone.
please let us know if you have gameloft games working, and if so explain how.

Not with that attitude. You're acting as if people HAVE to tell you how to do something. Not gonna butter it up bud, that's a really whiny attitude.
I have successfully gotten Dungeon Hunter 2 working, but it crashes more than it should be and I'm trying a few things.
me soo sorry, just thought it would help more if those that have gameloft games working could explain how too others.
I use this build.prop mod by crossix on my acer a100 so the market thinks I have an a500. Can someone take a look at the lines if it looks like it will work on the Prime?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20200566&postcount=32
With this mod I'm able to see, mc3, Asphalt 6, Nova 2, backstab, Order and Chaos with my acer a100.
I purchased most of the Gameloft games during their sale (Knowing that they don't support the prime).
So far I have working :
Modern Combat 3
Spiderman HD
Hero of Spart HD
N.O.V.A 2 HD.
Not working :
Order & chaos (Downloaded data but won't update to latest version)
Asphalt 6 (Errors out whilst downloading data)
Backstab HD (Semi works - Initial download ok, game runs flawlessly though without sound (music plays, but no sound effects). After exiting and re-running the game, you have to download 2-300mb.
Dungeon Hunter - Downloaded data and installed, FC's after intro movie.
For the working games, I simply used APK's which I believe were modified for the original Transformer (Don't think I can post links, google is your friend however)
APK's will not work, unlike dead space which I can just email my samsung epic apk to the prime, install, and download sd files to play. When the gamelot apks are sent they will install and open then check the device with the gameloft servers. They then show incompatible. You can actually see the splash screen for the game in the background but gameloft is not allowing the game to go further
anyone successfully edit build.prop yet so these games will work?

Actually there's a simple work around for getting gameloft games working on Prime without editing build.prop or adding anything. As I have the new Modern Combat3 on it and it plays very well. can even play online against others. This game looks sick on Prime display.
The work around is you have to find the matching game apk. for Acer500 or Xoom device. As those have the same screen resolution. Once you get a hold of those, install, then download extra data from online. then you good to go. that simple and plays fine. Google can be your best friend
There isn't a version of Gameloft game "Starfront: Collision HD" for the GT-P7510, but there are versions for other tablets such as GT-P1000 (which I think is also called Galaxy Tab).
Why doesn't the game work on my device? I tried the GT-P1000 version and it crashed.
What the hell? I paid $500 and got the best android tablet available and it doesn't run this game. Is there some kind of compatibility trick I can do to get the app to run?
This isn't the first game that wasn't available for my particular tablet, but which was available for other tablets (NFS: something). Why do some games not work? This is ridiculous.
