Dead Runner is a old palm/webos game that came to android a few years ago. It plays pretty well on the omate. The screen is rotated (camera up) but the tilt control works well. I mean I can not spend all my time just hacking away right?

Zenonia 4 is out with much improved graphics from 1-3

game isnt the cause for the reboot, its thanks to the .14 firmware
idunno, gameplay is kind of annoying for me, ranged attacks mean you have to be lined up with the mob your attacking... items that fall on the ground dissapear too soon IMO, overall i dont think im going to be putting a lot of time into this game.
I played the 2nd one way back when I had a crappy phone with a small screen and I wished I had a better device. I was looking forward to playing this new one on the Prime, so I checked it out. First time I died I saw the screen where you can either lose gold, xp, equipment durability to revive or pay for some cash item...
NOPE.
uninstalled.
Great graphics and the gameplay speed is awesome, but the battle controls are annoying. I keep accidentally hitting the home icon trying to run downwards.

That happens to me on almost any game with fixed controls

I've been playing it on my DX for convenience. The death system is the same as in Zenonia 3, and it isn't a huge problem, although it's a bit annoying. You can get by without paying anything for the game, but I ended up putting a bit down to make my bags bigger. Worthwhile in my mind for a well made game I"ll probably replay at some point.
So I loaded some of my favorite games and find out the accelerometer is oriented sideways. So for racing games, I have to hold it flat and tilt the top down for left, or bottom down for right. I read that this is because game developers aren't expecting tablets to be oriented landscape primarily like ours are.
I have several games that I NEED tilt control for to win (ie heavy gunner) and games that would be fun to play (racing ones especially).
Now the million dollar question, is there a fix for this?
I noticed this with Asphalt 6, thought it was game related but maybe it's device related...
I think it is game related. Reason I say this is several people have Dead Space working in landscape but the market version doesn't.
Hi folks,
I have been playing a fair bit of Temple run recently on my Desire HD but unfortunately earlier today while walking my dog we were attacked by a stray mutt and my wrist got bitten pretty badly it did some pretty nasty damage.
I am laying here getting bags of IV antibiotics and the doc's have told me, my left hand is going to be bandaged up for a while. It got me to wondering is there a way / app that I can use to simulate Swipes and Taps with a Wii Controller?
The Wiimote Controller app will substitute for all buttons, keys and phone actions but sadly not touch inputs. The Wii remote seems like a pretty cool way to play some temple run with one hand.
Is simulated taps and swipes something thats available or possible?
Cheers
I just bought my 80 G9. Before I start rooting and romming and warranty voiding I thought I should ask in case these are defects:
In landscape mode, is it normal for the viewing angle to be better if the tablet pointed down instead of up? In other words, if I have the screen down on a table and I'm looking at roughly a 45 degree angle 18" away, it's not good. Yet if I prop it up almost vertical in the same place, 18" away, below my line of site, it looks amazing. Head-on it looks kind of ok, but videos and dark images get washed out. (And using it in portrait is odd too - the screen looks good if I tilt it to the left. Otherwise, the screen looks different to each eye).
The second thing I experienced is, there seems to be a touch dead zone in the top middle of the screen, right where the X's are in Chrome for a second or third tab (it takes about 5 taps to finally get one to land on the X). I haven't found any other dead areas.
If both of these are common issues I can live with them.

Do you have a 80G9? Its viewing angles seem to suck
The 2nd issue I have as well, it appeared more in ics so I'm hoping its a software issue and will be fixed soon

Yes, 80 G9.
I'm quickly getting used to the angle.
As for the touch, I ran a drawing program and sure enough there's an 8th inch margin around the whole screen where touching is difficult.
Hi,
i've got the same thing on my 80G9.
After a screen calibration and after the last update, the touchscreen is ok.
The viewing angle is very bad on this tablet in landscape. Try to do a 180° rotation. I only find this solution to watch correctly
Its designed to be optimally viewed using the stand so that's probably why the viewing angle sucks flat and Straight.
I think the dead area is not a dead area its just chrome takes a while to respond due to its huge memory requirements with tabs.
As for voiding the warranty : If you use custom roms from here (XDA) and NOT Official then your device won't be watermarked and won't void the warranty. Just remember to total factory reset/wipe and remove SDE Menu system before you ship it back if it needs a repair.
Psi.

I installed multitouch visual test from the market, and there was a definite dead zone. The taps would be extremely accurate up until you reached 1/8-1/4 from the edge, and suddenly nine out of ten taps would land on the very edge. Tapping on chrome tab buttons was merely a symptom.
So I returned the G9 and exchanged it (I had drove 2 hours to a store to buy it in the first place, and luckily found an excuse to go back within the 14 day return period). I exchanged it, and tested it on the spot. The accuracy of the edges was much better. I'd say nine out of ten taps near the edges were within 5 pixels (whereas in the center they were dead on). Not quite a scientific test, but definitely noticeably better. And tapping on things near the edge like chrome tabs worked 9/10 times.
That was yesterday. I got home, started playing with it, turned the tablet to rotate it, and no rotate. I know rotation worked earlier in the day while I was testing it - it had rotated while in my lap at an almost flat angle. Still I double checked the rotation settings, did a factory reset, upgraded to stock 4.0.6. It's still stuck in landscape mode.
So I'm out. I'll find another excuse to drive 2 hours each way back to the store sometime in the next 2 weeks, and probably exchange it for something else (with any luck the nexus will be out).
It's too bad too. I really liked it. The price was phenominal, the hardware design straightforward, the os non-bloated, etc. From what I read there aren't a lot of problems with the hardware. I just have dumb luck I guess.

I got two A80S tablets and no problems with touchscreen here.
Just to inform you about some features of ICS:
Have a look in the settings...
- Developer options
- User Interface
- Show touches
After activating this option a light spot is shown after touching the screen.
No need for an external tool to check the accuracy of your touchscreen .

Thanks! This certainly won't be my last ICS device, so that's good to know!
Real Racing is on play Store at 80% of discount. Has anyone bought it? does it work fine?
I downloaded it. It occasionally crashes. Pretty good game aside from that.

Argh, I was going to buy it right now and the offer has ended
I haven't played it on the tf300 yet but I'm rinsing the balls out of it on the One X. It's quite simply the finest racing game I've played on any portable platform. It looks amazing, handles beautifully, great choice of cars and the tracks are good fun. My only criticism, other than the waiting for a download the past 4 months while EA get a server that works, is that the races are way too easy. There really isn't much of a challenge from the AI and whilst a 1:49 lap time puts you 16th on the grid in qualifying, it's still enough to see you win the 3 lap race with a 30 or 40 second lead. But who cares, it's feckin epic!! Haven't had this much fun with cars since Gran Turismo
