Playing it on an HDTV with HDMI output is amazing. Feels like a console game.

all the game needs to do now is support third party controller accessories... and we're pretty much being slowly weaned off of current gen consoles.

Nova 3, Modern Combat 3, Dead Space, Shadowgun, etc. IMHO, you can now (almost) get the full console shooter experience on an IOS device.

Currently playing Max Payne, and I'm blown away at how the studio managed to port the entire game onto a tiny screen.

Controls are always going to be iffy on a touchscreen device, would be nice if someone could make a hardware addon with a couple of sticks.

I agree Nova 3 looks amazing. Gameloft are those who pushes the limit of Smartphone and Tablet games for sure. I had an Android smartphone before I got the Iphone 4s and now recently bought the Ipad 3. Nova 3 on Android is a watered down version in terms of drawdistance and special effects like billowing smoke etc etc. Actually more resembles the Ipad 3 version on the highest resolution. But overall I am glad I can run this game on my Iphone 4s in it´s full glory and I also of course run it with all effects enabled on my Ipad 3 with the lower resolution option.

Depends on the Android phone you have. A Samsung Galaxy S3 will have better visuals and effects compared to something like the Galaxy S1.

Is this game as stale as other gameloft games though, or did they actually make a greater effort on the dialogue etc. Honestly i have to say gameloft is pretty much all flash no substance, they are the worst when it comes to creating an interesting story or dialogue. It feels so generic, so cheap.

But iphone does not support the aspect ratio of TV's....

The android version would not be the same through all devices so it depends on which phone you had.

No there is no Tegra 3 version of the game yet. Try run the game on the Galaxy S3 and you will ser that there is absent billowing smoke, less draw distance and less particle effects.

You obviously haven't used one, my brother has one and his has all that and it runs perfectly. Other Android phones can have it as well by downloading Chainfire 3D plugin to get the added effects. I believe alot of the higher end phones have all this be default. That's the power of Android right there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncwiDEDdOdo

Considering how cheap their games are they have to take a hit somewhere. When I want a full blockbuster experience I'll play on a console or PC, but even then polish isn't guaranteed. I like the different standards though based on what you're willing to pay.

I cant think of a better mobile developer, can you? MC3 and NOVA 3 are probably the best easily.

After playing their games i just really opted for more casual games as tomarlyn said the experience isn't polished or refined. As for me i can't ply games that have extremely bad dialogues and voice overs, id rather it be old school FF here they were actually silent and you click the screen to scroll to the next dialogue box. I just play games such as cytus now. Any way shadowgun is probably the best shooting experience i played on my handheld, Dead space wasn't too bad either, but i just don't really play these shooting games on a touch screen. But when you compare RPG's where its heavily story oriented Eternal legacy is one of the crappest games out there, even gamevil with there zenonia games or com2us with their inotia games are far superior. Let alone FF III which creams all other rpg's available.

I think its just a matter of time. Gameloft just doesnt have the resources for a full fledged console experience yet. I have to say, I'm extremely disappointed and quite surprised big name developers havent ported popular titles like Half Life or something like Twisted Metal. Our devices could easily run those games and they play great on the touchscreen with a few minor adjustments. Half Life would sell millions overnight if they did that.

I sure have used Chainfire 3D before extensively. I switched over from Android to IOS due to the sheer amount of games that is on the IOS that isn´t available on Android or was available. Also due to the fact that game developers 95% develops for IOS first and Android users have to wait for the conversion. I was frustrated with this and since I game a lot on all sorts of devices I bought the Iphone 4s and lately Ipad 3. Android is nice but not until developers start to release 95% of the games simultanously on both platforms and I will go back to Android. I had the LG Optimus 2x before which I gave to my wife and yes I heavily tweaked it for maximum gaming performance though nowhere near the performance of the GPU in the Iphone 4s. Also generally games are better optimized for the Iphone and Ipad than Android when you compare them side by side. Funny thing though that Mali GPU in the SGS3 is not the first platform they focus to use special effects nor Qualcomm, no it´s the Tegra 3 they aim for and call it Tegra THD games just for added special effects. Would have been better on the game front for Android if the there was one GPU manufacturer and not like it is now. PowerVR, Mali, Tegra. Also
