Because I can download and install any software without having to fuck around with the OS Smile

Just recently bought N.O.V.A. 2 and Modern Combat 2 (both HD versions) for just 1,12 euro each by clicking an ad while playing the ad supported version of angry birds rio Smile

It opened a special gameloft store with reduced prices... Not being bound to one source for apps is great Razz

I dont like the android apps Very Happy
Most of those gameloft games have versions for different cpu/gpu. Especially for ma Galaxy S2. Which is supposed to be one of the best Android smartphones currently. But some games still don't have support for the S2.
On the iphone you only had one version because of the same hardware. But on Android it's another story Sad
They should work on better compatibiliy for those Apps, instead of bringing new exclusive titles all the time. Now you also have some games that only work on Tegra or Xperia Play Surprised

If you root your phone you can install chainfire 3d and play those tegra "only" games on your sgs2 too. I have the sgs2 aswell and nova 2 and modern combat 2 black pegasus work just great Smile

On another note: Gameloft are shoddy developers and I do not like their games. Nova and Modern Combat look good (not WOW impressive, like citadel demo on iphone), but they are not much fun. Bad animations and gameplay...

I have much more fun with a lot more simple games that are polished Smile


Btw fuck you angry birds for your dodgy physics... one time everything is ok, next time the bird won't even break the simplest blocks...

Yea i have chainfire installed. But not all games work with it or only with bugs, like Backstab.
But yea, those simple games are very fun to play too Smile

I'm sorry, let me collect myself...

... Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

Sorry, couldn't...


------------------------------

Now more seriously, the ad supported games are really annoying to me. All trolling aside, we have a fair share of them on the app store as well, and even if they are good, the ads make then really annoying. Different ideology, I guess. I would rather pirate something and if I like it, buy, instead of watch ads. I have seen claims that it is impossible to make money from apps the same way as app store, but I disagree.

In some games they are annoying (like in sudoku, they are placed right at the bottom of the screen where your hand might be -_-) but in angry birds they are in a place where they really don't "hurt". And as I said, they led me to this great page

http://wapshop.gameloft.com/wapshop-uk/mini/hdplus/index.php?ms_sid=4&phoneId=4917&idf=1&lowprice=true

^^ all games 0.99 pound = 1.14 euro Smile

Smile change phoneId to your phone and you might benefit from the sales too Very Happy (the phonecode is from my sgsII)

Those claims are bullshit. Most ad supported apps have a paid ad-free version. It's just capitalism at its finest: even for free versions, you still get money - more than you would from paid versions in fact. With less downloads, Rovio already made more money off Angry Birds with its ads on Android than it did on iOS, go figure. Anyone claiming paid apps won't sell is full of shit, what they really mean is that they'd rather cash in from the ads from *all* users.

There is a tegra version of the sgs2 the 9103 I think (the normal one is the 9100).

And yeah it is supposed to suck donkey balls. slower, more battery usage (somehow the second core is always active where as the 9100 can downclock to 200 mhz and single core when not needed Wink ).

Android Apps are flooded with Spyware/Malware, on iOS its not that much.
I prefer therefore a controlled Appstore with less shit.
