  As always, I sincerely recommend the GameKlip. I'm not affiliated to the product but I recommend it a lot because it's changed mobile gaming for me. First person shooters and games like GTA and Vice City are so much nicer with controllers and GameKlip puts everything together in a nice package. No root required for controllers to work. All you need is a phone/tablet that's got USB OTG support (or if you have Nexus 4 which doesn't have USB OTG, you need root) and it's running 2.3+.

    I still don't get how people can play FPS with a controller. Guess I'm too used to keyboard/mouse.

    All I can play with a controller are racing and RPG games.

    (although I will admit I have only tried FPS on a console once and it was a very long time ago)

      I don't understand how people take gaming so seriously on a mobile device lol

        Mobile gaming is getting there. GTA, Vice City, Max Payne are all awesome games when they were released to PC and consoles and now they're playable on iOS and Android. They're nowhere near to real consoles and PCs but they're a real contender as a handheld platform I think. I've read that the Vita and the latest iPad have similar hardware so it's possible that Vita quality games come to mobiles phones soon.

      It's a little better than touchscreen FPS I guess haha. Also, I apologise if its coming off like a sale pitch. In the last 2 posts I submitted, it does seem like I'm pushing for GameKlip. It's just a recommendation for something I enjoy so please feel free to neg the post if it seems that way.

  Is it Google Play can do special price on a specific time now? Or they are only not allow to set it to free.

    Unless it's changed recently, once an app is free it is not allowed to be a paid app again.

      OK that's why Android have a lot less free apps like IOS.

      I reckon they should change this to match with IOS.

        BURGHHHHH!!! Wrong. ~66% of Android apps are free vs. ~30% of iOS apps.

        But a lot of them are only trial version from the full version. Instead of like IOS they actually made the full version free for a limited time.

        OK, then assuming 50% (arbitrary number) of those free apps are in fact trial versions, then Android is on par with iOS in terms of a percentage of total apps being free ie both are at 30% free apps.

        But Android has more apps than iOS, so 30% is actually a higher number of apps. My stats might be incorrect, but I think your statement "Android have a lot less free apps like iOS" is incorrect

        That being said, I think both app stores seriously need to consider culling their apps. Quality over quantity.

        Yeah, android has plenty of free apps, but (and as much as I love my android and despise apple) there are just so many useless, borderline spam apps on the market, it really depreciates the value of the whole market in general.

        I'm all for allowing all developers to make and publish apps, but at least make it worth using and get rid of the legitimately useless/broken/poor quality ones.

        How many apps do you really need?

  Too many 99cents games and too little time to play. Bought GTA III and Max Payne from your previous post but the performance is a bit mediocre on my otherwise perfectly fine Galaxy Nexus. Maybe I need a new phone too…

    Funny you should say that because I was just testing this the other day. I still have my Galaxy Nexus but I got a Note II to replace it with. On CM10, Galaxy Nexus stuttered while playing GTA III and it lagged each time I got an email or a message in WhatsApp, Google Talk or otherwise. On Note II, I wouldn't even know that anything else was going on if not for notification sounds.

    But interestingly enough, after getting Note II, I flashed Galaxy Nexus fully to stock with a factory image and tried GTA again just for the hell of it. It installed faster and ran smoother. But that's probably because I had a lot of apps and background processes with CM10 (as my regular day to day phone) but after I reset to factory settings, all I did was login to Google account. So the phone can handle it but maybe not with other processes running as well I guess.
