How do you mean not compatible? The service is connected to your Google+ account so it has nothing to do with your device.

I cant seem to install it from the play store? I assumed it was glitchy as it seemed weird that it wouldnt support it, and it doesnt show up if I search within the play store app

maybe im going about it wrong, but I assumed you just had to install it as any other app

What's the best Android gamepad in the market now? I'm looking for something durable, but portable, something that I won't mind carrying around all the time. That keychain/gamepad hybrid, where can I get that? My main concern with getting a gamepad is the fact that I have to lug it around everywhere, but if a gamepad manages to circumvent this 'burden' I could use it.

I love my Note 2. It plays PSP, NDS, PS1, SNES almost flawlessly. I go from playing some Brave Fencer Musashi, to Patapon 2, then mix it up with a little Okamiden. I rarely even play actual Android games today :)

got Google Play Games working

now I wish it wasnt tied to Google+ tbh

it'd be cool to have a GAF circle for leaderboards and stuff once it gets more supported tho

Super Stickyman Golf 2 has implemented Cloud Game Saving. They need to get this shit into Kingdom Rush and make sure they have it for Frontiers when it gets to Android. They already of Achievements in there.

Also, this is terrible and bad timing since I have a CPA exam to study for, but I've been addicted as shit to the game Castle Clash. I understand that this a clone of Clash of Clans from iOS, but from what I understand there are some things that are better and somethings that are worse.

It's pretty addicting and good timewaster and you don't need to spend any money (although at higher levels, I think it probably takes days to get stuff), but the only problem I have with these games is the ability it's for hackers to easily get unlimited resources and just raid bases, ruining the game for those who are playing legitimately. I wish that these developers could figure out a way to easily detect whether a hack has been activated for an account and instantly ban them from there servers. In this game, each Android device has a unique ID, which is stored on there servers.

It's a country thing. It's compatible, but your country just isn't officially supported.

What's the thing to join on G+ to be able to compare/compete with GAF? Play Games is what Android has needed for a long time, really wish more games had support.

So I started playing RAW: 2084 it has been so much fun. The game has great potential.
The only problem I'm starting to notice (after 4 days) is that this game is pay to win. You have to build a 6 man squad. configure armor and weapons for them, and they are split up in 3 classes, Bronze, Silver and Gold (for gold you have to pay) then you do battle against random teams in a "control this area" style. eventually I ws only facing gold teams, and lost every battle. Maybe I did something wrong. But like I said, it has some potential.

As I promised here's my diy controller holder for my phone.
All you need is three large Boston clip, 1 small one, a laundry hanger, and some rubber bands.
Incredible. I'm doing that when I get home.

Whats the name of this and where can I buy it?

While the Impulse Controller looks sexy I can't seem to find one with an analogue controller on their page.
Has this concept been canned?

Apparently Transport Tycoon is coming to Android and iOS later this year. Should be interesting.

"We haven't redrawn the graphics or anything like that, but we've adapted it to touchscreen," Smith said. "It's all very much how people remember it. We didn't want to update it just for the sake of updating it.

"As soon as we announced it, there was a mix of 'You better not change anything' and 'we hope you do something different with it,'" he added. "So there aren't any big headlining new features, just a buttload of tweaks."

And Contra: Evolution has recently (as in today) been released:

Play Store Link ($ 0.99) with IAPs

Man, Contra looks nice and it's cheap, but I hate "optional" IAPs and Contra is hard already with actual controls :p

New for me: oculus rift edging towards android

Quote from the Eurogamer interview:
"Android's not necessarily the next platform, it's just one we've been working on for a while," Oculus' founder Palmer Luckey told Eurogamer at GDC Europe. "The reason we chose Android is because, well, what are the other options? There's iOS where you can't plug anything into their systems, and Windows Phone where there's not much out there. We'd love to support it, but there's not much to look into - we know it could work, but the business side isn't there."

Admitted - Not that enthusiastic in their Android support :p
 
What's the best city simulation game?
- Must not have microtransaction bs
- Must not be like Zynga Facebook games (invite friends for energy, etc)

Someone else bug the FTL developers to port it to Android, I'm tired of doing so.

Until it's done, I have no interest in Android gaming :( I just want that so bad.
 
I need a new charger. I bought Asphalt 8. My n4 plays it just fine, but the battery still ends up lowering even after playing with it plugged in.
