Just wondering if anyone here has this.. & if it's a port of the 2004 inXile version
Does it play/look OK, run alright on a nexus 7..?

I had the original Xbox version, and whilst the gameplay was OK I seem to remember it has some of the most amusing dialogue ever in a game.

Cheers.
 
This is the 2004 version of the Bards Tale, but you get the original for free for the PC. It looks beautiful and runs well on my TF300 tablet. Be warned, the Hi-Def option mentioned before requires a Tegra 3 device and consumes a massive 3.5 GB of internal storage space. Your Nexus 7 is a Tegra 3 device, so you can use the Hi-Def option. But the game itself is definitely worth the $5.95 I paid for it.

Does it have any new or extra contents? I already have the PC version, and do not particularly want to buy it on Android unless it has something new to offer.

For example: I had the PC version of King of Dragon Pass from the 1999. It was an awesome game, one-of-kind that has nothing else quite like it before and since it came out. Last year it was re-released for iPhone, which the iOS version has new contents, extra events, bonus features that are not in the PC version. That would be the only reason to re-buy a game on a different platform. I loved that game. The developer was not interested in making an Android version, so I am really tempted to buy an iPad just to play the new version.

LOVE bards tale, bought it a week ago and can put it down.

I thought i read it supports controller via USB but cant get it to work, anyone else tried and go it working?

this is something I would very much like to know.

Was looking for something to keep me occupied while i was waiting for vice city to be launched and came across this.

Would love it it supported a USB controller.

Can anyone answer this?

It supports the Xbox 360 USB controller natively (without any external control apps)
