I don't play a TON of games on my D4 but I have yet to find one that is not compatible. Everything from Angry Birds on the low end the Deadspace on the higher end have all worked fine for me.
Droid 4 - AOKP JB
I've only ever tried to play Raging Thunder on the D4. It crashes after the splash screen loads.

Asphalt 7 is the only game that did seem a bit slow to me (like 15 fps or so in the peak), but still enjoyable Haven't had any compatibility issue, but then again Google Play offers you only apps compatible with your device
Hint: if it's too slow, restart the phone. And don't install too many background-running apps.

I just got the phone yesterday!
Really liking the droid 4.. been able to play a lot of HQ games smoothly including NFS MW, NOVA 3, Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour and Asphalt 7!
Running ICS 4.0.4 Stock!
Dont forget about the variety of emulators you can run on this phone.

Exactly. And the emulators that allow keyboard mapping. <3
There is a few stuff that I did not find compatible. Though pretty much all the main stuff is supported. Most stuff runs well, NSF MW does. Though some games the swamp and beach buggy racers from the creators of Riptide GP are slow, atleast for me. But Riptide GP works great.

I am using a Nokia N8, Symbian doesnt have good games and web browsing is too slow.I want to move Android, saw this phone. I love it. It looks very thin compared to my Nokia N8.
I like playing games on my phone.Could i play HD games (like Miami Vindication, N.o.v.a , SpeedX , Modern Combat) with this phone smoothly ?
(Sorry for my bad english, i always get low marks from English )
Every game I've tryed ran smoothly, there was 1 game that lags a bit though, Aphalt 6. I've tryed Pinball HD, Modern Combat: Sanstorm, Real Football 2011, Angry Birds Rio, Turbofly 3D and Asphalt 5. All of those is very smooth on the Optmus Black, I recommend it

Here is a useful link to free 31 HD Gameloft games,6 GB Torrent file: http://mobileplanet-waryam.blogspot.com/2011/05/31-full-android-hd-gamessdcard-files.html
But it's worth the download, just install the APK and download the game data through Wifi.
Great topics..i would love to see if anyone have a single download link for each of the game stated...
I just bought this phone, it is amazing really fast.
Mostly, it depends on the release of the game... If the game supporting powerVR VGA, it'll usually works on OBlack... sorry for bad english...
All HD games I've tried in this phone runs so good.

...as long as you got the game from the play store, it should run fine but dont expect 3d games to run just like games on the iphone....
from my understanding, if u see certain game on the play store, that usually means that it has been optimized for the phone.....if u dont see it, that just means it wont work on ur phone or if it's an app, it's not allowed in ur country...(pandora is not allowed here in the philippines =/)
anyways, i have an ipod touch for my games and media and i only use my OB to make calls and flash random ROMs XD just sayin'.....
...hope i helped...

I dont think so. Andreno 200+ is better than SGX530.

Don't get me wrong I think Android is great but I think it lacks a lot compared to the games for Iphone.
Why havn't the Devs come along and built the same type of QUALITY games for android that they have done for Iphone?
I have just sat for about an hour and hunted in the Android market for games similar to games ive just searched for on the itunes store, and all I can really find is cheap nasty replicas with bad graphics,shocking reviews and even scamming copies of certain games Zombies WAW is one thats on the market now.
Does anyone think/know if the gaming quality will be ever be as good as the Iphone, becasue I hate Iphones and it would kill me to get one to just play decent games.
Hmm, doubt it.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
Why searching the same games? If I want to play iphone like games no doubt the best choice is....iPhone.
Android is the first operating system on phones in the world, and if you want good games you can have plenty... Android is not ios so don't think you'll find the same apps.

+1 for that. Android has many great games. for examples, games made by gameloft have nice graphics. Or from Pocket Legends. Cut the Rope (similar to iOS) also nice, angry birds, etc. Or my other favorite puzzle/mystery games such as mystery of the crystal portal, paranormal agency, etc. Many great games. Maybe it's because there are many more free games in android, many developers just upload crappy games. But if u want to search games that may (or may not) resemble iphone, u'll be pleasantly surprised at the results. Some android phones have better hardware than iphone. So, I guess there'll be many games that u'll love as long as u can find them.
The iphone is the most popular phone in the world.
Game companies want to make the most money possible.
They choose Apple over Android.
...
mega profit?
That is the only reason. That, and the fact that they only have to make one version of said game that will work on pretty much ALL apple devices, whereas, a decent looking Android game wont work on phones without GPU's, which is probably around 40-odd% of all Android phones on the Market.
Eventually, android will catch up with games and apps, and the gap is getting smaller and smaller all the time. It wont take long.

I really do hope they catch up, this is my list of PAID apps which are great but i'm a little disapointed at the THD games there are so few to choose from, I thought that the Nvidia Tegra Zone would be packed with great games, and at the moment there are only appox 15 games avaliable and it's been out quite a while now.
Sentinel 3: Homeworld
Samurai II: Vengeance THD
Airport Mania 2: Wild Trips
Sprinkle
Reckless Getaway
Cut the Rope
Fieldrunners HD
Guns'n'Glory
Bang Bang Racing THD
Fruit Ninja THD
Moto X Mayhem
Trial Xtreme
Pinball HD for Tegra

How's your gaming on the DROID 3? I've played nova 3, asphalt 7 and mc3 and all 3 seem really smooth and lag free. That seems strange to me since we only have 512mb of ram but maybe someone else is having the same luck...all I know is gaming is smoother on here than it was my ATRIX 2 (with same gpu and double the ram)

I've had NOVA3 and Mass Effect: Infiltrator run pretty well for the most part, though both freeze up on me quite badly at times, mostly in areas that are large and/or have lots of fancy graphical effects going on. I'm not running the latest official ROM though, I've got the 890 or something, I don't know how much of an effect that has.

Is mass effect any fun on the DROID 3?
Sent from my XT862 using xda premium
Yeah, it actually is! I've never been big on touchscreen controls, but the movement and aiming is pretty well-done. I'm a big fan of the whole series, so that might bias me.

Is it a short game or pretty decent?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
You could probably zoom through it in a few hours, but it took me quite a while to finish. There's a points system where the fancier your style, the more points and credits you earn. The credits are used in an in-game store to buy upgrades and unlock more weapons and skills. You can easily spend an extra few hours just grinding for credits. If you ace the game with the maximum score on every stage, you can get an extra war asset in Mass Effect 3. I started out with a pirated copy, then I bought it when it dropped to 99 cents, but I think it's 7 dollars normally. You can use the default tap-to-aim system, or for a bigger challenge you can switch to free aiming. The graphics are Perry impressive for a phone game, and you'll want about 250MB free for the extra download.

I was wondering if any body out there had a list of compatible FPS games for the Droid 4. I really enjoy gaming on my phone but I'm sick and tired of downloading and installing games such as Modern Combat just to find out at the end of the install that the game is not compatible. I've looked up and down on the net for some kind of compatibility list but can't seem to find any thing at all. These are just a few of the games that I currently have on my Droid 4 that run smoother than a new born baby's butt and I've never had any compatibility issues with what so ever. If you know of any other similar games that work on the Droid 4, please add to the list.....
Dead Trigger
Mass Effect Infiltrator
Dead Space
Shadowgun
Shadowgun DeadZone
Backstab
CS Portable
CM:Swat
Oh WOW! So apparently NOBODY plays ANY FPS on their Droid 4's? Really? That is simply amazing. FYI, in case you guys didnt know. the Droid 4 can play some really good console quality games since it seems nobody knows that.....

You're not the only one! I use emulators on my Droid 4 to play some of my favorite classic console games... EG Mortal Kombat, SNES ROMs.. you get me. So don't feel so alone! And thank you for the list that you have made. I will be checking out all of them!
I'll ask my son. He play a couple of them. I do know some of the games won't show up in Google Play. I have to buy them on my HOX+ but after that I can easily install them and play them on the Droid 4/Photon Q 4G LTE.

@anks095 Does NFS No Limits work on your phone properly? Cause i think it had issues with 6.0 and also it never worked on my phone.
For me I like RPG games, good story, like Kemco company games, if speak of graphic I'd say N.O.V.A 3, asphalt 8, Final Fantasy 9, Unkilled and A LOT of PSP games run via PPSSPP.
Anyone tried ''Fast like a fox'' ? nice game. found it yesterday, couldn't stop playing.
