Ever wanted to see how a game would play on your nook color? Did't want to risk the 15 min refund?
Here are some awesome games running on my NC filmed for your delectation!!

Couldn't get the embed to work for sum reason...
Thanks for taking the time to make that vid, it was pretty enjoyable to watch. I got jet star stunts, but guerilla bob seems to force close on cm7. It's good of you to show the world that the Nook is actually pretty damn capable for gaming .

never had a single problem with Guerilla Bob on Cm7
Thanks for taking the time to do the initial review for these games, a quick question regarding some of the games, how do you save your points within the games? Since the NookColor only has one key? Do some of the games have a menu button embedded in the game? Thanks for the help in advance!
Very cool video. I've watched it a couple of times already. Bought Armageddon based on it. It would be useful if you could note what OS you are runing and your clock speed.
Oh wow, thank you so much for taking the time to do this. it's awesome.
I use buttonsavior lets u pop up menu back home and search buttons

This is awesome! I had only ever heard of like half of these games! Thanks!
I did some videos of some of my favorite games. The gameloft games can be tricky to get to work however.

I grabbed that Dungeon Defenders ( 1st game ) after watching this video, but I can't seem to get it to play without stuttering alot at the beginning stuff. Is this just the way it is or do I need to do something else to it? I think the game will play ok, not sure yet. It seems just like the cutscene video stuff like How To Play and stuff doesn't work.
Anyone running this and having it work right? Any suggestions?

OnLive's gaming app was released today for Android... you can find it on the market at
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.onlive.client
I don't have my NC with me, but I tried it out on my phone. It works at least! I didn't really get to play much but hey, it's there
FYI, there is a special controller that is coming later this month too (tomorrow?), although it's supposed to be $50. Hopefully it at least comes with a free game.
PS. if you sign into onlive through the app, you can get Lego Batman for free.
Anyone have the .apk file so we can try it out? It doesn't show up in the market for my T-mobile Samsung galaxy s 2
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
People in the article on engadget mentioned it was posted at http://onlivefans.com. I didn't find it just by looking quickly, but maybe try a search
I got it, ill post it soon. It's running laggy on my NC but I bet its my crappy 3mb internet connection, since i keep getting a message that my connection dropped lower than the minimum
Here is the apk hope it works
Ok, cool. I'm interested in the new controller they have coming out. I did not find much information on if you could use other controllers, but it sounded like "no" for Android: http://onlivefans.com/showthread.php?14160-The-Controller-FAQ
I haven't been able to try it on my NC yet, but on my phone the graphics were fairly blurry but it was mostly pretty responsive (just navigating the UI and playing the first couple seconds of Lego Batman). I was on 3G because Verizon's having another 4G outage apparently, so I'll have to see how it goes on my home wifi or 4g when it comes back.
Anyone having issues with not finding in Market or the apk not side loading likely can go to onlive.com/hardware_mobile and click the Market link that shows there. Had to change my dpi to 160 to install but worked great after that. I had to go this route on my 2 bionics and the NC.
It runs great on CM 7.1.0.1 (Stable)
I tried playing games on my Nook Color like N.O.V.A. 2 HD and after getting my @$$ handed to me in the game because the NC wasn't fast enough to respond to my controls I tried the OnLive game service and I have to say it's pretty sweet.
I didn't notice any lag whatsoever when I played a few minutes of LEGO: Batman and I was using the on-screen touch controls the whole time since I don't have their universal game controller.
I'm not a serious gamer but my 5 year old is really getting into it. He already is monopolizing time on my other android devices playing games. Since LEGO: Batman is his favorite at the moment I've been forced to drag out the old Playstation 2 console out of the closet. Now that I've got this to work on my NC I can get rid of the PS2 finally and contain all of his gaming on the NC.
I am receiving my prime tomorrow, and was just curious what people have found they use their prime for. I have had a couple tablets in the past, but nothing like the prime - especially considering the dock. I was hoping it would be a laptop replacement in some situations (between classes and traveling for work) as well as a fun gaming device. So I'm curious, have you found that you use it as a laptop replacement or mainly as a toy? Anything else?
I also planned with all the hype surrounding the prime it would receive some good development efforts. I can't resist a shiny, rootable toy.

So far many have found it to be an excellent paper weight. Good luck on yours might want to rub a 4 leaf clover before you open it.
i use mine to show off
I use mine for this stuff at the moment:
Work Email via touchdown
Taking notes via evernote
Browsing the web via stock browser (prefer opera but there is no flash in opera on out tablet)
Gaming via shadowgun
Reading news via engadget and news360
Remote controlling my work laptop via Asus slashtop app that came with the prime
So far I have used it for:
-Browsing the interweb
-Facebook
-Evernote
-Netflix
-Youtube
-Email (personal & work)

A paperweight? How can you say something like that! It's best use is a doorstop

Seriously though, thanks for the posts. My class on Tuesday doesn't allow laptops, so I'm looking forward to having the prime (without the dock of course).
I am a student so main use is to take notes and read (I use ebook textbooks and pdf lecture notes mostly)
Otherwise I use for web browsing, music, movies (hdmi out to tv when at home), casual reading (big grisham fan), hulu, games, skype.
Sent from my Galaxy S2
I use mine 99.999% at work so
Movies 50%
Tv Shows 45%
Games 4% (N64 Roms look so sexy on it)
Internet 1%
I use mine to browse the web in bed a lot. It works really nice because the screen can get really dim, which helps put me to sleep at night. It's also nice being able to wake up and have a web browser at your side without having to get up or anything.
I plan on using it for watching movies/tv while in my bed as well. It isn't as fun to watch them on my desktop since my monitor is usually hard to see from my bed.
Of course I use it to game in between my classes and whatnot.
I also plan on using it to take notes in class, but I haven't yet since mine has the rebooting issue, I don't want it to crash on me in class and have me lose all of my stuff and then not be able to take notes while it turns back on.

Can I get a job where you work?..
I pretty much use mine as a replacement for my laptop. I have a desktop that I rarely use and previously brought home my MacBook Pro from work every night to surf the web from my couch. Now I don't have to lug the laptop back and forth anymore. This was only part of the reason I got it though, the other being that it was a bad ass gadget and I just wanted it. I'm really looking forward to traveling with it next week as well, the size and light weight will be great. The gaming has been a great plus too.

Hate to go off-topic, but ever look at a Livescribe Echo Smartpen. I'm a Project Manager, and it's prob one of the best investments I made recently. I always miss stuff being said while taking down notes, with the pen recording as I write, brilliant. I can go back and review meetings.
livescribe.com - give it a look. There's also software to convert your writing into document text.

Are you using CourseSmart? I bludgeoned my way through last semester using their terrible v1.0 app that was never updated for tablets. They've since released a mobile web app that I assume is their solution for Android.
Still doesn't make me super jealous of their iPad app though..

I've actually been a bit surprised to find that half or so of my MBA classes prefer to not have laptops out. This is only the second class that appears to actually be enforcing that preference, however. This particular class is in marketing.

I'm semi familiar with the technology, but the last time I briefly looked into it the technology wasn't at the point where it was practical (or cost effective). The product you referenced looks very interesting, however. I am a product manager in a tech company so I could see how that would be useful. I'll probably look into it more. Thanks.

I can't imagine taking a full class worth of notes on a soft keyboard...
So, I bit the bullet and bought a Prime, I had talked myself out of it about 9 million times, was going to buy a used one from chin-a-ling (sorry mate) but my fiancee pushed me, and pushed me and I finally bought one... I am in love.
But the title says it all, I am wondering what the future is going to be. My hope is to end up being able to play Portal on this thing one day. With the fact that Bethesda has mentioned possible tablet ports of older titles, Valve has always been one to examine all unique possibilities. It would be incredible to be Chell running through the hall way, aiming and then tapping where I want the portal
Anyways, what does everyone else think? Looking forward to seeing what the major companies might do? Games you hope to see ported or even developed as a standalone counterpart from your favorite series?

I think tablet gaming especially on iOS has a bright future. Some of iOS's best exclusives have trickled their way to Android. But there is still a lot to be desired on the Android platform as far as games go. Currently EPIC is making fantastic games for iOS through ChAIR Entertainment. Hopefully they will one day embrace Android.
Well ios has infinity blade and usually gets games a bit earlier. That's about it IMHO.
Android has amazing emulators and most importantly full gamepad support.
There are also some really nice looking tegra3 exclusives coming. Definately infinity blade lvl of graphics.
I'd say the future is bright. Me personally I'm hoping for point and click adventures getting big on tablets. They perfect for touch control.
Gaming on tablets and Prime will be SICK! Just watch. Already amazed at the types of games I'm playing already. And I don't play b.s. ones like angry birds or whatever. Lol hardcore gamer here.
I used to be a hardcore gamer before I joined the Navy but after I got out I haven't had time with school, but I am a huge Portal/Half Life Fan, as well as a few of the other artsy FPS games e.g. Mirrors Edge. I KNOW the Tegra 3 can handle it, it is a matter of whether or not the big guys will believe in the future of tablet/mobile gaming. It is a growing segment of serious gamers, and I think that tablet ownership would increase as games become more innovative/complex.

And it works like a charm. It never ceases to amaze me that the first time I played day of the tentacle I had to clear my 40MB(!) hdd before I could install it, was supplied om an enormous amount of floppy disks, took ages to install and now I can play it on a apparatus small enough to fit in my pocket (in case of my galaxy nexus)...
They need to bring the Broken sword series to Android. I have both games on Ipad n loved them. Like a touch point n click. Graphics n storyline is very good.
I installed onlive and am playing all sorts of pc games.
It works great with the Xbox 360 controller.
Onlive? Huh, I'll check it out! Thanks for the idea!

There's an app or method to get apps not available in your area or whatever. I forgot what it was. I would think as long as you have a decent to fast internet connection, Onlive should work fine for you. Plus its a free app so technically someone could upload the free apk for you to use. Worth a shot.

that wouldn't even matter. he just make a free account then sign in. there's nothing in the app that's esteeming location, I don't think. I would think as long as he make an account, which is just providing email address and making a user name, he would be good. worth a try. nothing to lose.
WOW
Really is all I can say if it only had surround sound then I would give it a 10 out of 10 but I will have to give it a 9.8. I used Pavtube Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate to convert the Dark night and boy for 720p video its killer to be able to stream from my phone this quality. WOW But i used the One X profile and it out put 1280x720 i am sure i could get full hd later on but for a simple convert it it kills all other programs for the Evo Lte.
I really think its a great tool that if you used it the right way you could do about any thing. Yes its a little laggy but not by much when playing video it really does not see any of the lag at all. I really can not say more then WOW.

I might take you up on that, Depending on what HTC support says.
so far I love it also!
I'd love to be able to do other tasks (send sms, look up reviews on the imdb app and so forth) while watching the movie on TV. just like that demo I saw on YT of the One X over the MediaLikn HD
for a quick minute one time I was able to do this. stranegly enough I cannot not duplicate it...
anyhow, I did play a movie oncoded to 720p, 1500kbs, mp4 and it played nicely.
I'll try a better quality encode next time.
but, yh, love this thing! can't beat the no cables covenience

Most tasks, if you want them to stay on the tv, you have to three finger swipe up when on that screen, like the music app.

The only bug is that to get 3g and media link to work you have to edit ur build.prop to enable tether

I just picked mine up today. It's okay...but I think I'm going to return it. $90 is a bit steep price wise and it lags a little too much for me. Plus Netflix plays on both the phone and the TV through this not just the TV so you have to leave your phone's screen on, which I dislike.
