HP Touchpad is long gone. Not just from the tech community but from my home. Traded it for an iPod Nano. At least that we can use.
And now I have a Kindle 8.9″ HD. Super cheap and a solid all-around tablet. I’ve downloaded some games and it is fair to middling as a gaming platform so far. I use a Moga Pro (another hardware update) as the controller since I hate and also suck at using the screen controls.
GAMES:
– Dead Trigger: Love this one because the “story” is just an outline for the location. This is just a straight-forward run and gun. I love this game. And during Halloween some zombies had Jack’o’lantern heads that they threw as bombs. Crazy stuff and good for some quick gaming
– N.O.V.A. 3: This feels like a serious console experience. I bought the controller just for this game, hoping to play on my phone. But since I have a Lumia 920, the number of Moga supported games is slim and NOVA isn’t one of them. I’ve just started to dip into this game but the action, controls and story are great. Looking forward to playing more.
– Ashpalt 8: Not a big fan of driving/racing games with the exception of Wipeout for PSx. Downloaded this to test the controller. It takes up a lot of memory and updates too frequently for my taste. Plan to delete soon.
So the Kindle may be a solid gaming platform with at least two games worth returning to. The Moga Pro really gives the tablet a full gaming experience. So far I’m happy with this set up.
Can someone please send me some free time to play?
