From what google showed off at the I/O it would easily handle these games

Dead trigger looks fantastic on it!

Games look awesome on this & have yet to have any issues.
I'm currently playing FF3 & ME:I. I had to use a TiBU of ME:I to install though. Sadly, if you're a gamer, be smart & spend that extra $50 for the 16GB model. You won't regret it at all.
You have to be space conscious with a 8GB especially when you have to factor in your nandroids.

Thanks for this. I plan to play games quite a bit on this. I have tiBU's of mc3, max Payne, and I can backup my ME but will backups from my EVO 4g LTE work well on jelly bean on 7" screen?

I have yet to bring over my Android folder which holds all the files to my games since it would eat up all my free space. But, I will transfer it over once I get my 16GB.

If you have fast Internet connection, try OnLive.

Onlive works really nicely on my Transformer Prime, so no reason it should be any different for the Nexus
I assume using the Onlive bluetooth controller will be fine?

although there are very few that have the nexus 7 right now, I'm wondering if those who have any kind of tablet have ever tried restoring a titanium backup of a game from their phone to a tablet. Is the apk vastly different due to screen size, or does it "adjust" itself for running on a tablet? It's not a deal breaker for me cuz I'm probably going to play tegra 3 games on the n7 but it would be nice to restore my mc3 or my mass effect which I currently have backed up on my EVO 4g LTE.

I have the Universal Controller and it works on my (now sold) Galaxy Table with Android 3.0 (HoneyComb). It also works on my friend's Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0 (ICS), so theoretically it should work with 4.1 (Jelly Bean).

I've already bought Dead Trigger and have a list of Indie games to buy from the Play Store with my $25 credit as soon as my N7 arrives. I can't see how this tablet will be anything less than stellar running top games.

I love how the alternative to get a website to work on your new 800$ device you have to use a OLD format... Lol.

Modern Combat 3 $.49

MC3 is .49 cents today on play store.
So what do I do when I run out of space from all these Gameloft games?
you use gl2sd
it will move the big part of data to your sd card.
Onscreen controls in fps games? You really got to be pro to enjoy playing such game on mobile.
I tried but failed.
Its like playing football(soccer) without shoes. but hey nicee price and graphic
Single player is nice but don't touch online unless you have a hardware controller.

Perhaps you did (although that wasn't specified), but many others will find the information useful. You don't have to include them in updates to the first post, but everyone should feel free to contribute any working game.

There's really no reason why those shouldn't be able to work with the TF300, so that list is probably a good place to start.
thanks for the list

I downloaded galaxy on fire 2 THD and its definately not in HD, the graphics look absolutely gash. Is this just me being an idiot and downloading the wrong version or it not native 1280*800 resolution?
Also where did you get battlefield 2 from? Cant find it on play store.

Well, the term "hard core" can go a lot of different ways. If by hard core you mean THD games or basically games that show off your tab's graphical prowess... you've got most of the top ones already. There are some nice older titles like Roboto HD that look great as well but aren't graphically as strong as games like Shadowgun or 9mm.
If you want games that look good and actually work like they're supposed to the ones I added are nice options; It really just depends on the type of games your looking for. I generally blow through 40-60 games a week and can put any others I find in the thread bsweetness suggested, thanks for that btw there were some there I haven't tried yet.
I picked up my tab 2 days after it dropped on-line, and my biggest gripe so far besides color depth has been lack of compatible games. There are a lot out there, but I was surprised at how many don't play nice with ICS or with tablets in general.
They like to tout the "power of gaming" with quad-core devices, but they don't talk about the lack of quality or compatible games do they...

Il add them to the list later on today...also hopefully when ics hits most of the phones they will update games to work with ICS and tegra 3
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
That's true. The One X and One S seem to be selling well, so one can only assume that better Tegra 3 support is coming. However, aside from the One phones, how many phones are being released with a Tegra 3 SoC? Well, at least those are selling well.

it is not native resolution, you do get the screen resize option in the tray. My graphics are fine while in the ship flying. Not true HD, but certainly not gash.

Will n10 lag like TF700

Well first of all you all might be knowing that TF700 lags(Read in tf700 forum)
Now, i'm thinking of getting this from USA(I'M from India).
So my main concern?
Will the apps be blurry-pixelated?
Why I ask? Cause i read it is pixelated/blurry in tf700+All apps in android store are for 720p and this is 2x than 720p.
So does google promise "qulaity" apps?
Well the Nexus 7 does not lag so there is no reason to think the nexus 10 will!
who knows and it just announce
nobody has a hand on yet
and confirmed won't lag
powerful dual core
No way. The two a15s are very powerful. Best chip on the market

The TF700 lags because of poor I/O performance
Nexus 10 is made by Samsung not Asus - it shouldn't lag. And it's Nexus - even made by Asus Nexus 7 doesn't lag.
According to engadget and other review sites, it is the "smoothest and lag free" tablet yet. With two a15s under the hood, google would have to make the worst os in the world for it to lag
The N10 is going to fly faster than a monkey with Tabasco on it's rectum. (((FAST)))
There might even be a chance gameloft crap might actually be playable. But I'm sure gameloft will screw it up somehow.

Is SPB Shell 3D as cool as it looks in certain images like yours? Does it ever lag? Do you ever get tired of it? Is it worth the $15 compared to all the cool stuff you can do with free launchers & apps, ex: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyPWxhFQG-k ?

Half-Life 2! Portal!

Just released to the Tegra Zone! When can we see this on the MOJO? Thoughts?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nvidia.valvesoftware.portal

Wait...Were they just released, or am I just noticing them because they were updated today?

They were announced at the end of last week. In the announcements it was stated as released for the Shield only for both. I'm sure at some point it will be available on other Tegra 4 devices.
Dang. That's what I get for not hitting my usual news sites in a month. Thanks for the heads up, though.

They were just release afaik. Someone needs to rip the APK and try it on the Mojo. Or, we need a way to spoof the Play Store into thinking the Mojo is a Shield. I'd buy it just to try I love Portal. I am sure it would work fine on the Mojo.

I can confirm, HL2 is working on the TegraNote 7 with a MOGA Pro controller attached via Blutooth
Not working on Nexus 7 (2013) and Galaxy S5 (native and with GLTools).
has anyone tried it on a Tegra 3 Device? Ouya anyone?
Just ordered a Shield anyway but it won't arrive in the next 2-3 weeks. (Shipping from Hong Kong) ...
They ie.portal/half life 2 for tegra 4 are a waste of time for now on the mad catz m.o.j.o,they are not telling anyone next to the game icon on the list that they are only useable with android 4.4 kitkat,therefore i bet loads of these upcoming and current games are,also the shadowgun deadzone game i tried and says only for tegra 3 devices,it's a right @rse to list games but not tell you what they do/do not work on,bounty arms isn't working with the m.o.j.o controller either,so it does beg a big question that is why are mad catz selling the C.T.R.L as an android phone controller as a seperate item if the compatability is all but none existant in the current games,they really need to get to it and release 4.4 kitkat for the mad catz m.o.j.o and a controller compatability update to flash with software via the usb port under the batteres.
A friend of mine is supplying me with Portal from his Shied to test on the Mojo tonight. I will let you guys know if it works...I am very curious.
any chance for this to run on a non tegra device?
like the last hack made by chaineFIre wich was awesome and enabled me to run dead trigger at its full on my aging mali 400 :<
I really need to upgrade to a snaodragon 805,810 or an Nvidia K1:crying:
I really cant decide weather to get an Nvidia device or not since im in love with the galaxy note series but sadly they never come with tegra cpu's
maybe I should just get a vita and keep my n7100 for a long while since im in dire need for a gaming handheld
I wish somewhere in an alternate univers we get to see a note 4 with a k1 processor:cyclops:
but that will never happen lol
No, won't run on my snapdragon nexus 7.
From what if heard elsewhere you can't even install it unless you have KitKat.

running kitkat and no luck on mali 400 gpu
so surprisingly borderlands 2 gets ported to the vita but we cant run HL2 on a snapdragon 801 ?????
hmmm seems like a driver hack should do the trick
The problem is that Nvidia worked on it and optimized it for Tegra 4.
I'm not sure whether it performs just an GPU ID check or it actually does require Tegra 4-only features/extensions.
I don't think we can get it to work on other devices without a wrapper.
I tried Half Life 2 on my Tegra Note 7, but my game crashes when i try to load the first level.
The main menu works fine.
I am using an EVGA Tegra Note 7, Android 4.4.2 and a Xbox360 Controller.
Any tips?

Can anyone confirm if the crash is due to lack of RAM? Remember our Tegra Note 7s only come with 1 GB of RAM while the SHIELD and M.O.J.O come with 2 GB. It could be crashing because it couldn't load the entire level into memory.

Well half life 2 doesnt load maps like that. Its loads it section by sections so i seriously doubt they changed it for android to load the entire level that would require regretting alot of the engine. Online multiplayer games it will load the whole map but for the single player it did not thats why you got that loading bit while running or driving around.
