Hey guys,
I bought my little sister this tablet for Christmas and want to find some games for her.
Any suggestions for games I should download or but for her? I want to set her up with a good amount of fun games and apps but don't really know any thing that kids would like.
Any parents here who can give me some suggestions? She's eight and pretty smart. Likes all the normal games. I also would like to find a video app for kid shows, Disney shows especially.
Thanks any help,
Alex

get the amazon appstore
it has 1 pay app for free everyday
usually it's a kids game
Hey, for the games, I would recommend Angry Birds, Bag Piggies, Cut the Rope, Temple Run, Agent Dash, Where's My Water?, World of Goo, Fruit Ninja, etc.
For kids shows, get netflix, its only $7 a month, it has a kids only section so she can watch cartoons and kids shows, and you can also use it yourself to watch Tv Series and Movies.
Hope I helped, if you have anymore questions feel free to ask.
ReduxTV has a Disney Channel, free in the play store. Game wise, check out kid mode. It has some flash games for kids to play and books. My 4 year old uses it, so I'm sure his setup would be different than hers. Also Where's My Perry.
My daughter is 9, and I bought her a Nexus 7, so pretty much the same thing?
I preloaded it with the following:
Art:
Zebra Paint, Doodle Joy, Paint Easy, My Paints
Games: Angry Gran Run, Angry Gran 2, Beach Buggy Blast, Cut The Rope, Extreme Skater, Flip Riders, Fruit Ninja THD, Granny Smith, iStunt2, Jelly Defense, Jet Set Radio, Jetpack Joyride, Kinectimals, Land-a Panda, Let's Golf 3, Littlest Pet Shop, Magic Piano, MX Moto, PMonsters, Puffle Launch, Rayman Jungle, Replica Island, Riptide GP, Rocka Bowling, Skater Boy, Sleepwalker's Journey, Slice It, Sprinkle, SummitX, Teeter, Temple Run, Trial X, Where's my Water, World of Goo, and Zen Pinball THD.

Great thanks a lot for the suggestions. I think I will loud up the most popular stuff for her, and then just get her a gift card so she can buy anything she finds interesting.
Thanks everyone!

+1 on the free app of the day on Amazon.
You get lucky every now and then. I've got quite a few good apps over the past year and a half. :good:
ThumbKeyboard was one of my scores. Don't use it on the tab but love it on the phone.
-1 on the Amazon app store.
Correct me if I'm wrong (haven't used it in over a year) but the free apps will only work as long as you have the Amazon app store installed (and tracking your usage). Removing the app store kills the apps.
Is that still the case?

Certain apps do not need the Amazon app to be running. Thumb Keyboard is one of those apps thankfully. Once it is installed and activated, it works perfectly when Amazon is "FROZEN" with Titanium.
For the ones that do need Amazon running in the background, I've got a work around. I've got the paid version of Titanium Backup. It has a "FREEZE" option that lets you do just that to an app. When I need to use the Amazon app or one of the apps I've gotten from the site, I just got into Titanium and "DEFROST" the Amazon app. When I'm done shopping or playing one of the games, I just freeze the app again. Really simple.
Data gathering is one of those things that is really hard to get around these days. Google and Facebook are the worst IMO.
Android Tuner has freeze/defrost options as well. (used to be System Tuner) Must have app for all Android devices. That and ROM Toolbox Pro. In my opinion anyways.

There may be others. (Sing out in the comments if you spot any.) Can't tell if this is a glitch (which seems a tad unlikely), or some sort of coordinated effort. Regardless, might as well take advantage.

Heres their official Announcement --->https://market.android.com/details?id=apps_timed_promotion&feature=banner
Apparently this will happen for ten days. Everyday there will be ten top premium apps for ten cents until the ten days are up. Say that ten times fast lol!
Amazon app store is doing a sale too. Here is the link for the OP so people can check it every day from any internet browser:
https://market.android.com/details?...WRfbXVsdGlfX18xX3Byb21vXzEzMjMxODcwNjMwNzMiXQ..
And the Amazon link:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.ht...d_t=101&pf_rd_p=1337667882&pf_rd_i=2350149011
market.android.com is finally showing the deal. Google is calling it "10 Days of Offers, Top Premium Apps 10 cents per app"
The screenshot has Tetris, Fruit Ninja, NFS: Shift, and some air tracking app. Cool!
It's XMAS time. Whoo-hoo.
Now to only stay on a ROM for more than a week....
sweet!!
thanks for the heads up
Just came here to post and saw this thread was up. According to what GameLoft posted on Facebook:
"The Android Market 10 Billion App downloads celebration has started! Get Asphalt 6 at 10¢ for the next 24 hours!"
That only explains Asphalt, but maybe the influx of $0.10 apps has something to do with that.
Edit: akiradavis mentioned that right above me.....didn't catch that.
Does asphalt 6 work on EVO 3d. I never saw it in the market before. Thanks if anyone knows. I hate to throw a dime away

They make a 3D version for our phone. I'm not sure if that one is $0.10, though.
Are they going to change the 10 or just use the same 10 for 10 days?

All the games I've found myself playing have been along the lines of GTA3, Shadowgun, and Sentinel 3: Homeworld--none of which lend themselves very well to a quick, casual game.
Some good ones for me are:
Wreckless racing
Wreckless geaway
Stickman golf
Frontline commando
Overkill
Touch racing

I've been enjoying Osmos, as a relaxing and quick immersion/diversion.
Zen pinball is good for a quickie
I usually play any of the Angry Birds games if I have a few minutes to kill.
If I find I have longer then its Words with Friends.
Depends on what interests me at the time. Past games include muffin knight, angry birds, and fruit ninja.

My fav is Shoot the Apple. There's hundreds of levels and each one usually takes only 30 seconds or so.
I prefer Stupid Zombies..
Has to be Jelly Defense! I got it back when it was a 10 cent app for my Nook Color, plays sooo much better on the Prime.

i've been having tons of fun with CSPortable its still in development but still fun to kill time with xD
of course you need internet with it to be able to play online
ArkaBall or Switch (or my own Memory Owl HD - but I'm bored to death by it because I have to test it a lot).
Recently purchased the new humble bundle for android. Containes EDGE, Osmose HD, World of Goo and Anomaly Warzone Earth. You choose how much you want to pay for all 4 games. EDGE and Osmose are great games to play for 10 mins at a time.
I find Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots awesome in short bursts in "Bandito" mode. It was created exactly for short 10 minute bursts and the voice overs are hilarious. Looks and runs great on the Prime too.
Plants vs Zombies is great also. You can do a level in about 10 minutes and it keeps you active the entire time. If you can't finish the level for some reason, it autosaves and picks up right where you left off when you come back.
Minisquadron, not only fun but beautiful colors to show off the screen.
Super Bit Dash all the way! It is suuuch a fun game.

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:

EDIT: Oh btw, it's only batting so no pitching.

And, OP, I've heard of a really popular one. Its called real life(jk). But, afaik, there aren't any good ones.
Sent from my tf9001 with XDA XD.
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.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201
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.

grab the humble bundle 3 at the average price. world of goo comes with the basic price of pay anything over a dollar and get it and 3 other games but if you pay the average it gives you a bunch more like bit trip runner and field runners.
If I wanted to relax before going to sleep with a game it would definitely be Osmos! I even use it for that purpose myself. But be sure to use headset for the best experience and effect!
Even better: Quell Reflect . Awesome game with a beautiful soundtrack.

Pool Master Pro, a relatively realistic Billard/Pool game. Some balls randomly rolling arround can be relaxing, too...
i am a fan of Osmos HD...very solid game and a super relaxing sound track
also Auralux is good...but honestly i havent heard the soundtrack to it so i dont know if it is any good....but its a pretty slow paced game that is nice to look at.
Mine is clash of clans....works great on high resolution
Csr racing too
Ive played modern combat with no hiccups and i really enjoy the rayman jungle and fiesta run games. Also downloaded sonic racing transformed, seems to be a solid mario kart like racer.

I just downloaded that and it's crashing also, almost 4 gigs it better be good. Did you try to delete the folder in the root of SD card? I did but still crashes. I'm gonna try to delete then open again, maybe it's like when gta San Andreas came out and you have to delete then re add the folder. When I get home I'll try and see if that worked and report back if it does.

I second that.
Impossible and infinite flight (both with full resolution) works more than great.
NFS Most Wanted works great but not the best on racing games.
Minecraft pocket edition, fancy & smooth. (Playing at full resolution!)
And other games works more than well in this tablet. (I played almost every game I had at 60 fps).

ravensword shadowlands seemed pretty good but i never got around to really playing it as i didnt care for the controls without a controller.
asphalt 8 runs really well for a racing game, but i liked ridge racer slipstream, even through the framerate was horrible.
hill climb racing is always fun and flappy bird is easier on the big screen.
punch hero was one of my favorites on my epic and it runs great.
segas sonic ports run really well but you need a controller. sonic just doesnt lend itself to touchscreens
i really want to try playing square enixs games, like the final fantasy ports and chaos rings, but i dont feel like paying $15 for a game i might play a few times
BADLANDS is amazing and very addictive. its like flappy bird, but mixed with limbo. its a great game that i highly recommend https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frogmind.badland
