In the spirit of http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/393901-Best-Android-Games-for-2011 I decided to make a 2012 thread and thought I'll kick off with 2 cool games out now.

Free play with pay in for extra coins: https://market.android.com/details?id=im.maya.legendaryheroes

Its an Action RTS almost like DOTA mixed with some Warcraft 3

Check out the YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/LegendaryHeroesGame for more video's and info.

Multiplayer coming soon
 
love the dota type games, might have to look-into getting a gamepad working once we have ICS...
 
Take a look at bloons TD 4. Loads of fun little game. Used to jam it all the time on my laptop.
 
King of Fighters

I dont know if this is supported on your device of choice yet but on Xperia Play I must admit this is bring back memories of old.

At least another way of getting it without trying to get the mame version to work.
 
Dungeon Hunter 3

Better late than never the 3rd game in the Dungeon hunter series just been released. If you can not wait for Torchlight 2 or Diablo 3 to fill that Top-down RPG hole you may want to give this one a try. Better still, its Free to play.

There is various items that you can buy in game for real money but there is no need if you don't want to. Game can be finished without the need to buy extra loot. Also note its not a story mode game as in the previous versions, more of an arena battle with a number of waves coming at you per arena.

SAWS : The Puridium War

Another Freemium games that might be worth a look if you into Space instead of RPG as mentioned above is SAWS, Think part tower defense, part third-person shooter, and part space adventure and you'll have an idea of how it all works.

You can see a quick review over at Android Central
 
Cytus: Guitar hero, but better

Free game that is worth a look, but if you where a guitar hero fan be warned: This game can cause you to buy more songs.

PS dont let the Promo Video scare you. I can say its easy to start but a bitch to master. You simply watch the line as it goes up and down and press in the relevant circles as they cross, this all happens to the beat of the music.

Works like a dream on tablets as well, in fact if you loved fruit Ninja on your tablet this is defiantly a must.
 
How's battery life with those games? :whistle: :D

Well looking at last nights 4 hour session of Dungeon Hunter 3 before I went to sleep, not to bad.

Oh for people that dont like freemium games...I found a secret weapon called Game gaurdian.

Edit: I must admit when playing games on mobile devices, it does help when you use devices that normally sport 6 days of battery life.

Xperia Play... its made for games ;)

I have nooooo bloody clue why they did not sell like hotcake here in SA.... Bought mine for R2000 and its still rocking all the games, in fact most games come out for the device 1st.
 
Finally this classic game made it to Android and best is, its free so grab a copy of this great time killer.

Temple Run https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imangi.templerun (Free)

No in games ads and you don't have to buy coins if you don't want to. The in app purchase is just for extra coins that you can use to buy "cheats" so to speak.

I have noticed that for some weird reason, there is a delay in the droid version of this game vs the ios version. On my iphone he is already jumping as I slide my finger up, whereas the he only reacts after I have done the action on my Note :(.

Kinda ruins the game for me on the note.
