Wow, thanks :)

I've downloaded asphalt5 (spanish version), it's running smoothly in x10 mini pro but sometime the screen a little bit jittering/drawing (I don't know what the right word to describe)..

maybe asphalt5 doesn't have double buffering, because I can see directly GPU drawing into the screen. (or maybe I must to upgrade to Android 2.1/2.2, coz Android 1.6 only support OpenGL ES 1.1)

I really can't comment as I've never tested any of these games with 1.6 or an x10, but I would guess there could be some issues. if they are intended for 2.1+.

.

I only know 2 high quality 3D games using OpenGL ES I found on the market :

- Hockey Nations Shoutout
- Deadly Chambers



Anybody here have any suggestion / addition to that list ?? would like to install any awesome 3D games lol

Deadly Chambers is not what I'd call a high quality 3D game. I would just put it in the 3D category but thats about it xD.

I read Tank Wars 3D has semi good ratings on the market, seems a bit pricey though.

Other than the gameloft games, there are not many high quality 3D games on android.... yet. But you'll see more coming now that we have some crazy hardware.

ID Software is hiring android developers. Most are guessing that they are going to port Rage to Android (already being made for iOS). It looks CRAZY.

The Unreal Engine is also rumored to be coming to android. It's the same engine used to create the Epic Citadel tech demo on iOS. I had a change to play around with that and was blooooooooooown away.

Hang in there. The games are coming :)

Gameloft's download policy kind of sucks, you're only allowed to have the game on the same device with the same phone number, so if you swap out phones you'll have to rebuy the games. Plus they rarely, if ever, update them for bug fixes.

Really? Well that just sucks..... I just bought Asphalt HD a few weeks ago on my Epic...

This isn't true. I bought all of my Gameloft games for my EVO... but I was able to have the pushes sent to my Epic after changing numbers and the games still work just fine. If you have a problem, you can always contact their tech support. They do respond, surprisingly enough....

I've also bought them all, all great games and gameloft should be commended for bringing some quality games to Android, because there aren’t many. :(

They are few and far between, but there definitely are some! I suspct that gameloft is a larger business that can afford to spend time porting apps over to Android. I don't know of the difficulties of moving from C# to Java.... but I can understand there would be some effort involved. Being a former flash developer, I understand how difficult it is to create the same games for another platform. You have different tools.... a different language with different ways of doing things.

If only I could easily port flash games to android. I think I could create some fun and challenging games. I've never worked with animations outside of flash before so I don't know how hard it would be :(

Ever hear of Adobe air?

I had nearly the exact same scenario 3 weeks ago, except when I asked if I could re-download the games (I attempted it anyways and it said "invalid game"), they responded with their lengthy license agreement with the part about game license is only good for same device, same phone number highlighted in bold text.
