Splinter Cell and Dodonpachi simply aren't in the marketplace anymore. There are third party apps in similar situations but you would think at least the XBL titles would work. Pretty sure we're missing one of the NFS games too.

Probably because they're not yet compatible with WP8, like the Skype app.

Hey guys, is there a way to make Gameloft games, like NOVA 2 and Asphalt 6 work on GS2? I'm just first turned on my new phone, entered the market thinking that I would play high end games I couldn't in my Xperia x10, and I discover that Gameloft games aren't there
You can try using Stock Build.prop to maximise market content.. If there's still stuff missing Market Enabler (free in app store) will let you change country/carrier. If it's Tegra2 games you're after Chainfire3d can duplicate that.

But will this allow me to get games? Does it bypass the market restriction? I ask this because I'm not in favor of pirating games...
Can you teach me how to do those things?
Download Chainfire3d from the market, the search for Nvidia drivers for Chainfire on google, copy them to your phone. install, select the Tegra driver (easy enough to find instructions on Google), then search nova 2 on marketplace, if it allows you to buy and install then you're all good.
Asphalt 6 and nova2 work without the need for chainfire.. you just need to dl them from gamelofts own store.. just google gameloft and you should find them.

Use samsung games hub or gamesloft websight as said above.
Can't it be the market version? You know, I love the easy updates, etc...
I got nova 2 hd from the market, no problems. I am in the uk though, so you may have to use market enabler if it's not showing up.

don't worry about the updates. all gameloft hd games have builtin in-app update functions and regularly check for newer versions.
Issues I have with Gameloft games is.
this is the biggest, load times especially if you pause them and go to homescreen to check a text message or something, then immediately hold down the middle button to return to the game, they take forever to start up again, upto a minute, why on earth is this, on my old Iphone they would resume instantly. This phone is miles better spec inst it?
Also hardly any of them use the gyroscope and when they do its just not smooth enough compared yet again to a year old clunky fruity machine
just don't understand why
Yes, with the demo version I got, NOVA 2 takes a very long time to load...
Trying to set up the Chainfire3d thing to download the games through the market. I preffer it that way... having all apps on one place feels better.

Even after I put the market to the UK Version, installed Chainfire 3D and enabled nVidia Plugin I can't find the app on my phone and neither am I allowed to buy it from the desktops's browser ¬¬
But isn't it just a demo?

Asphalt 6 is free via the "Samsung Apps" on your phone. I had tried versions via the market and they stuttered. The one via the Samsung Apps is not only free (always liked that price) but more importantly runs sweetly.

Can´t see any games for SGS2 on S-Apps, maybe there is a country lock?

There is no where on it that says it is a demo.
To be honest, I am not very good at this type of game and got it for my son to play with. I downloaded it to compare it to the market version.
Anyone else getting large numbers of apps (esp games) not showing as compatible in market?
e.g. ADW EX, Cut the Rope.
At first I thought it was just me, but I had a chat with another XDA member, who sent me a screenshot of the android market saying his tablet S was compatible with ADW. On mine, its clearly greyed out. So I'm thinking there's something wrong with my tablet or google account?
Any hints appreciated
Hello,
Just because you mentioned about cut the rope game, i installed it and it plays OK (sony s 16gb).
Chris
sh-t that confirms it. Theres something wrong with my market account.
I've written to several app devs and they all say their app is marked compatible.
The two 'test' cases I'm using is cut the rope and ADW EX. Both are greyed out in web market, and just do not appear in tablet market.
I've tried clearing the cache and force stopping, no dice.
Anybody seen this before?
I just looked at market to see if I could find "cut the rope" and it shows up, and is compatible with my sony tablet s. It shows on my tablet market as well.
ADW EX also shows up here. no problems with them what so ever. I got the sgpt111us/s model.
There are a lot of Gameloft games that you have to sideload. And Gameloft does not bother to answer their support emails.
I had to side load the tivo application from my rooted OG to my tablet, but it works fine. Someday I will buy a premier so i can actually use it though!
Hello
I have this problem too.
I asked Sony support (Russia) about this problem.
They said that I could:
1. Clear market cache. It doesn't work.
2. Clear data. It doesn't work.
3. Delete update for market. It doesn't work.
4. update information about tablet from web android market. Here I have question :how could I do this?
I suspect its something to do with regions and region locking for certain apps, tablets and user accounts.
e.g. I am accessing market from Hong Kong location, but I'm normally based in Australia, and my google account/credit card etc. is all Aussie. I'll wait to see what happens when I get back to australia.
If there are region restrictions based on app, user account etc. IT SHOULD BE MADE CLEAR. google support fail (again....) its enough to make you consider a fricking fruit machine some times

it's good information to know and very helpful, albeit discouraging
I have been trying to get tintin to work on my View for the past week (which is not available for this device through the market) without any luck. I went to gameloft through the "100% HD Games" APP that comes with new HTC View 4G and saw TinTin HD available for this tablet. I bought it for $4.99 hoping it would finally work.
After paying with PayPal it took me to a page with the Download Link. I clicked on the link and got "Page Not Found". i think i have wasted my $4.99 and cant even figure out a way to download the +1 App for free (Promo going on NOW on Gameloft Games 1-22-11). Contacted GameLoft will update on what they say.
Just wanted to warn everyone so that no one else makes this mistake.
I never trust crapware like that! I use Go Launcher EX, which per my personal request, is now compatible with Tablets. Just go into the app drawer, press menu, hide app, then click the apps you don't want to see, such as stupid crapware!

Well gameloft isn't really crapware. Bloatware possibly but def not crapware. They put out very quality stuff. I'm sure it wasn't a scam or anything like that. Im sure it was a glitch in the system and gameloft will quickly resolve it. Gameloft has very good customer service.
Well here's something bizarre.
On my Wildfire, and on Google Play it says that Flipboard isn't compatable with the device, yet when I logged onto the Amazon App Store (which as far as I know, only shows apps compatable with the device) it had Flipboard listed!
Obviously downloaded it, and it works perfectly fine on my Wildfire, which makes me wonder why it's supposedly not compatable when it in facts runs fine.
I've tried Instagram before, and I could see why that didn't work, therefore not compatable, but Flipboard works fine. So if you can go on the Amazon App store + get the APK, then do it, it's a pretty good app
Has anyone else found apps for the Wildfire that the Play Store says is not compatable with the device, but does in fact work/run fine?

there could be several reasons for the incompability message showing up: it could be region related, if you have a branded phone or a simlock it could be carrier related and last but not least Amazon doesn't have anything to do with Google. So if Google sets different standards for compability (i.e. resolution, performance etc.) Amazon might differ.
I've also tried Instagram - one of the very few popular services that exclude so called legacy devices almost completely
However free/ad supported apps could be tried out if working or not - so I sometimes hate it to be ruled out by Google (or the dev). Paid apps of course shouldn't let you try out because you could sue the dev for selling stuff that won't work on your device.
And yes I know at least one app which works fine on my Willy although the play store says "incompatible": https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flightradar24free
But: it only works if you drop realtime movement of the planes (and for good performance you should make the visible region not too big, satellite view works but with maps is smoother of course...) - so I'd guess if the dev would make this compatible for GPU-less devices he would earn thousands of complaints that the app doesn't work at all
And no, I won't post any links how to get the apk (forbidden by forum rules anyway, giyf in case)
I think the market is somewhat bugged a little too, week before last i couldn't download a few apps which i have previously used on my s2. I hadn't changed any dpi settings or anything like that so i just put it down to the fact i'm running miui. Updated my miui Rom on the Friday with no wipes and all of a sudden my apps work again.

Just wondering if theres a way to play online games offline like clash of clans etc.???
Those games are server side, they are constantly updating the game with every change you do, like moving or gathering gold for example. so I think is not possible.
