So I hadn't seen it here specifically, so I thought I would mention em. Kairosoft is a company that makes simulation games.
But the problem is.... Their games are terribly addicting.
The first one to hit the android market is called Game Dev Story, and it's a game that puts you right dab in the center of a game company. You have to run it, build games, win awards and even build consoles.
The second one to hit the market was Hot Springs Story, and this time you play as a manager of a Japanese Hot Spring/Hotel and it's a lot like the tycoon games where you have to build buildings and rooms, etc... This one is far more challenging but very fun.
And finally Grand Prix Story which came out just a few days ago; has you creating a Racing Team to compete in races and GPs. Possibly even more addicting than Game Dev Story.
ive heard nothing but good things about game dev, ill play it as soon as i finish the 15 games currently on my nook.

So, I just counted the number of games on my nook. I have 64 games on it!!!
That's not including emulators and most of the casual games (I mostly have them for my phone). I think I need counseling .
... and yeah, Game Dev Story is awesome! I'll have to give the others a shot.
Anyone have any info on how to unlock the surcharger or more cars with grand prix? I'm lost lol
So far, I've found most cars are earned through the Advertisers, Races, or upgrading another Car (I think I unlocked a car by doing this)... The chargers I unlocked on my first play through and didn't think much of it since I was past Y14. But I think it was through fully upgrading the Gears lineup, not sure though...
Kind of don't like Grand Prix Story after going through it 3 times... Keeping only one item that you most likely won't even be able to install right away is stupid, there's no way in knowing if the staff are going to be better or worse, you just either replace them and hope, or stick with the crapshoot mechanics or driver you have.
And finally, ending on Year 14... Why? Why not atleast year 20?
After going through it three times, my initial first play through where I knew nothing... Is my highest score, imagine that...
I think the supercharger comes from one of the advertiser (one with chimpanzee)
New car design comes from winning race and satisfied advertiser .
fastest way to grow it seems. a) after winning first round and getting 'buggy design" stick with that car. speed, acceleration, specially getting V8 engine asap.
The buggy car should win the first grand prix. after short use of proto car, just enough to win germany, where you get super car. So far this is my best, easiest car.

Guys you have to check out this walkthrough/faq! Spoilers are inevitable though >.>
has anyone found a proper walk through for this game?
Ok so some of you may know about the humble indie bundle, well now we have one that adds support for android!
for those of you who dont know the humble bundle is this cool collection of indie games that are offered at a DRASTICLY reduced price. this bundle contains:
Anomaly: Warzone Earth
Osmos
EDGE
as an added bonus pay more than the average and get World of Goo!
i paid $4.61 for all these games, on mac/windows/linux/android i also got keys for steam to redeem them there . some of teh money goes to the devs, some goes to the guys managing the bundle, and some goes to charity - childs play is a charity about getting sick kids in hospitals video game systems to play and help ease/pass time (imagine the hardship of being a young kid with cancer... sitting in a boring hospital all day long) or the EFF who fights to help stop stuff like SOPA.
the downside to the android versions is taht they give you the apk so no updates for ya. and i know you can just pirate them, but cmon its for charity and you forever own the games on pc
http://www.humblebundle.com/
P.S. you should watch the installing games to your android device video.. thats a very cool nexus s
Just bought it. It's a pretty awesome bundle.
Title says it all. I don't want to train or have to do stupid stuff. I just want to pitch and hit and have decent gameplay.
Thanks
I've played Homerun Battle 3D on both the Galaxy S2 and my Prime. What I like most about this game is being able to battle others from around the world online and acquiring better gear as you get better.
Was playing the free version for awhile, but bought it when it was on sale:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.com2us.HB3DLITE&feature=search_result
EDIT: Oh btw, it's only batting so no pitching.

I've been wanting to get into this ever since I bought it during the sale too but never have. Does it cram opportunities to buy stuff down my throat? I loathe freemium games.

And, OP, I've heard of a really popular one. Its called real life(jk). But, afaik, there aren't any good ones.

If you don't mind a baseball game that looks a little cartoony, Baseball Superstars 2011 (Paid version) is your best bet (I would say 2012, but the "freemium" nature is a bit annoying, though I would say I played an entire season and didn't need to buy anything).
The game is surprisingly deep (lots of options and strategy), and really fun to play. You can play the quick games if you want to avoid training, etc
I'm going to add my opinion on this. For a true, manager, pitching/batting team experience, baseball superstars 2011 or 2012. For an arcade, with buying uniforms, DeMarini (Vexxum, CF4/CF5, M2M, Vendetta), Voodoo etc. go for Homerun Battle 3D .... you can play users all over the world. I've played that for the last 1.5 years, recently i moved to Homerun Battle 2, which adds more batting options, characters (you can be a woman), stadiums to play at (outer space, hell, island) and different levels of attaining gold balls (you can play Duel, Survival where your health drops down and you pick which type of ball to throw to your opponent and try to get your health to the top, and Mission mode where you can play 4 other players at the same time and you have to win a certain "mission", say, hit 6 homeruns without a strike). You can also play single player in HB2 and there is a new option as well called "Burning" which will give your thumb pads a workout after playing 5 minutes (mine went numb).
Homerun Battle 3d was my favorite for years now. Both HB3D and HB2 have trial modes so you can play them before you buy
The best one is the one missing the Yankees.

Baseball Superstars 2012, it's not a sim experience, but it's fun to play and has enough depth to keep you interested
oh yes, i forgot:
9 innings: pro baseball 2011 by com2us
pitching, batting, infielding. search for com2us
Thanks all I check out Baseball Superstars 2011. Didn't like BS2012.

Do you prefer a simulation type game or one that is more simplified into a scenario type game? We are close to launching a multi-level scenario game. If you want to keep posted on release date you can follow @kidkgame on twitter

I've played this game for months now and haven't bought a single thing, although you do have the opportunity to buy some unique outfits. Unlike some other games you're not required to buy anything to progress in the game...

So I kinda have always noticed this since I switched from the Iphone to an android but I really noticed today that alot of big game companys like Taito,Capcom, Square Enix, etc. have been looming around on the Apple App Store for years now and yet they havent really made the leap over to the Android platform, it kinda pisses me off cause games I love like MegaMan X and Bust-A-Move (Im sure alot of you cant relate with those in particular but you get the point) and their company's have made good mobile versions for the App Store, and yet after years of them being on there they never seem to get ported to android. What really blows my mind about all of this is that these said companies actually sell SOME of their games on Google Play. Like i dont get that at all, for example Megaman 2 was released by Capcom on the Apple App Store 5 YEARS AGO and still hasn't shown up on android. Like why sell only a few of your good mobile games to Android users and give the Apple users the whole lot?? I get it that Apple came first as the world's first very popular smartphone and they had the first successful mobile application market, but its been 5 years, android is just as popular as Apple and their store deserves these classics. I say its time to expand your games to other platform users. Besides, dont you want more money???

Yeah, it's true that a lot of games are missing in the Play Store, but there is nothing you can do about it...
The best solution for you could be more waiting (yeah, it sucks!) or just playing an alternative!
For Megaman I think that you could play a GameBoy game of it (there are a lot!). Just download an emulator in the Play Store and get the ROM!
For the other games, there aren't a lot possibilities... You could maybe look if there is a PC-Version available!
Have a nice day

I mean I have improvised, for example, there's no bust a move for Google play, but I got a ps1 emulator and got roms of my favs bust a move 2,3, and 4 and I can play all those and they run very well. So yea it does suck, but since GP isn't locked down, I can use that to improvise. So yea, it is stupid to keep good games exclusive to the App Store when these company's can get more money and stop pointlessly alienating other mobile demographics, but yea I know there is always a silver lining.

I'm pretty sure its something to do with devs of the games not wanting to make apps for android because of piracy

A couple years back, I LOVED gaming. I can't remember a day where I didn't love to game. Anymore though, most of my gaming consists of Magic cards and Chess.
So, let me know what you guys are playing, and more importantly, why. I haven't gotten around to playing these, buy a few years back these were the games I loved:
* The entire KOTOR series. Best RPG, amazing story that branches off from the main Star Wars story really well, and you get to be a freaking Jedi. For 3/4 year old me (gosh) it was a pretty great series. Admittedly, I didn't play KOTOR 2 until Thanksgiving of 2014. I played through them both during my break, and had logged over 100 hours over it... So KOTOR consumed my break that year. It's that good. The best part? KOTOR 2 runs on Linux. I don't know why no one has made the original available on Linux but Wine is always an option. KOTOR 3 is pretty much a bigger meme than Half Life 3 at this point...
* Left 4 Dead 2. When I was a kid, my mother and I used to play it. You get to slaughter zombies. Pissed that zombies keep beating you? Well guess what? You can be a freaking zombie. Enough said. Runs on Linux too. Certainly a title very close to me. More so than Half Life ever was (yes, I said that)
* ALL OF THE FALLOUT AND ELDER SCROLLS GAMES. EVER. I started with these games at a very young age... About six. I played Oblivion religiously. Over several years one of my characters had over 2k hours of gameplay alone. It's a bit different now. When I was a kid I used to fantasize that something so surreal could one day be real. I guess that imagination is part of the reason I love technology so much... Because it's a real solution to the unimaginable. I played Skyrim, loved Fallout NV, am still trying to get through Morrowind, and blew my way through Fallout 3. I love these games. I wish I had Fallout 4, but hey, there's so many of them that you can't have them all. I haven't played TES Online either.
* Trine 2. Love the mechanics, love the stupid story, love the Linux support, and I love the graphics (even if I am blind lol). 10/10, would play again.
* Stardew Valley. I've never played it, but I've seen gameplay and it reminds me of Animal Crossing. Animal Crossing holds a special place in my heart because it was the only game my family could really play without fighting lol (sad truth). I love the mechanics and from what I've seen of it, it looks brilliant. Linux support is there too. Check it out. It's sort of like Harvest Moon but better (farming simulator).
Those are a few of my favorite picks at least. I used to game but now I really don't except for over breaks like Christmas break and the summer. School is pretty dear to my heart.
So let me know what you guys are playing. If you want to add me on steam, my username is: eyecantcu
Whoops... Sorry everyone. I'm not sure this complies with forum rules. It isn't directly related to hardware
Just to get the ball rolling on this thread:
I've always played and am still playing competitive, multiplayer games. I used to play COD a lot on the PS3 (I know, basic), and did the same once I got my Xbox One. Then eventually rocket league came to the Xbox, so I started playing that a lot, and when Overwatch was released I picked that up as well.
Now I've recently switched to PC, and on it I still play Overwatch and Rocket League a lot.
Rocket League: Love the nearly infinitely high skill-ceiling. Every time I feel like I've perfected a mechanic, I find something else to work on. Really satisfactory.
Overwatch: I just love the mix of teamwork and individual skill. You don't only have to improve your aim and positioning, but learning how to work with your team has great effect on the game as well.
Besides that, having the competitive system to show me how well I'm playing really motivates me and makes it worth playing the game.
Duke Nukem: I cut my "gaming" teeth playing Duke Nukem against coworkers on a bastardized network at my office during off hours.
Command & Conquer: We then started playing Command & Conquer in a bracket type best out of three competition. The entire C & C franchise were great real time strategy games.
Warcraft: I got my daughters addicted to these games and as a family we would play against each other. What actually happened was my daughters and my wife would gang up against me and try to completely destroy me. Most of the time they did but every once and a while I would win.
Diablo: The entire series. Every game, every expansion to date. I've always loved the game and still continue to play to the date.
Fallout: Again the entire series. I also still play one of these games several time a week. I'm way behind but just recently got Fallout 4 and the scenery in the game of gorgeous, you know for a post apocalyptic world and all.
Terraria: This sandbox type game is great for when you just want some mindless exploration in a vast and varying universe.
* PUBG. Yes, it's a little cliche at this point, but a buddy and I thought it looked fun, and now I am on my uni's E-Sports team for it.
* Factorio. Lots of thinking involved, and I love thinking and optimizing things.
* Fallout/Elder Scrolls/Witcher. For when I need to get my open-world RPG itch scratched. Have dumped thousands of hours into these series.
* Minceraft. For when I am playing with a few friends that run huge servers (I do command block stuff for them).
* Borderlands. Mindless shooting. 'nuff said.
* Final Fantasy/Legend of Dragoon. The JRPG itch never goes away. A whole world awaits each time.
I have a 2TB drive dedicated to keeping all of my games downloaded, and it's nearly full. I have lots of games that I play, but those have been the main ones the last few months.

This is general... just like any other one chatting it up about anything will be allowed so long as it doesn't descend into madness.
That said I'm still largely playing Destiny 2. I have PUBG but suck horribly and have yet to finish the new Wolfenstein.
Slowly going to catch up on the backlog until FFXV and Ace Combat 7 both hit next year. Those are my must-haves for 2018.
