3D Games for LG Optimus V [List]

Hey guys. I'm a new member, so don't hesitate to correct me if I've made any errors here or if there is already an identical thread elsewhere.

I haven't seen anything like this on the web, so I figured I'd start it. This is meant to be a list of all known working and non-working 3D games for the Virgin Mobile LG Optimus V. Obviously I'm not capable of making a definitive list, but I'll provide the games that I've tested.

All games are running on my unrooted, stock Optimus V running Froyo 2.2.1. If you have any working or non-working games to add, please comment and I'll add them to the list. Thanks!

Yeah, I was aware of these games, but we're looking for 3D gaming on the device. Thanks for the input, but I don't think any of these are working polygonal 3D games.

Nice work. Never heard of some of these games let alone they are 3D and work the the V

Yeah, thanks! I first saw Raging Thunder II on the Optimus V (which I had purchased a week before) and I was really impressed with what the phone could handle, even unrooted. So then I've been trying to find what else it can do :p. I found No Gravity last night, and NFS:Shift the day before, and they both impress me by how well they run on this entry-level phone.

Would be nice if you could make a note next to each app name on weather it's a free app or a paid app.

Reason being is if I'm in the car or at an appointment somewhere in a waiting room, I'll temporarily download a game onto my phone to keep my son busy. I always uninstall when I get home.... so free games are of interest to me.

Yeah, well a lot of them have lite versions and paid versions. I guess I could put all that down, I'll try to do that tonight.

4 gig? No lets go bigger like 16 gigs or 32 gigs. I already have a 4 gig card in my optimusv but with 3 gigs of music and having to pull it out every couple of days and load other music and stuff on it has made me realise I need a much bigger card. :)

Um, no, I said 16 GB. I got a 16 GB Micro SD card with 4x r/w speed for a bit over $20. I think you misread my post.

I didn't have a problem with Mystique 2. It works great on my phone.

Thanks, I'll add it to the list.
