    A euro for the new year, don't forget to use three credit if you can

    Is that just for text messages? Does it work on Whatsapp or messenger? I very seldom use texts anymore

    Thanks for the replies though.
    Yeah but you can paste in the URL of anything that interests you and it will alert your email app the instant it drops, I have it watching dozens of bike parts, pc components, anything Ive ever missed in Bargain Alerts etc etc, nothing really compares to it, especially with this Chrome extension:

    You can select what apps you do and don't get information about

    Downloaded on Friday night and complete the first ending in 7 hours according to the game.

    Getting to the alternative ending takes allot of unrelated strategies and is complicated. I doubt anyone could do them without help.


    Here is a Spoiler guide to solving the alternative endings.

    It seems a bit lacking in challenge so far a couple of chapters in tbh, no really obscure puzzles that would force you to actually think, just pressing switches, rotating stuff, sliding the right shape into holes etc, I haven't been stuck once so far.

    When I do get stuck it's due to not seeing something I can tap into or doing a room in the wrong order. It's tedious tbh

    Need for Speed Most Wanted on sale for €0.10


    Wrong version for Ireland linked above

    You'd need this Need For Speed Most Wanted ROW (Rest of World) version that works for Ireland.

    That link is the North American version which will say your device is incompatible, no matter what device you own, because of region locking or somesuch.

    I had the ROW version on my Wishlist and installed that version. Did not know there was different versions.

    what websites do people use for checking for games?
    I often check http://pocketgamer.co.uk

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,741 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    http://droidgamers.com is the main one for me.

    I also keep an eye on http://toucharcade.com. It's mainly an iOS game site, but a lot of games are on both platforms (eventually).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,072 ✭✭✭corkie


    Don't visits sites but the Android section of Flipboard app, keeps me informed of releases, deals and posts from multiple sites.

    Occasionally check https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidGaming/ as well.

    Massive buzz about Crashlands at the moment.

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bscotch.crashlands
    http://www.androidcentral.com/crashlands-wonderfully-bizarre-arpg-worthy-your-attention
    http://toucharcade.com/2016/01/20/crashlands-review/ (iOS review)

    It saves cross platform, so you can move from your android phone to your ipad to your PC (it's on iOS and Steam).
    You will need to buy it 3 times if you want to do that, though. :)

    Well I fell for the buzz, haven't played it yet. Think that's probably the most I've paid for a single game.

    The fact you have to pay for each platform makes me a bit dubious. Much prefer how Hearthstone has done it, where it's free, but with microtransactions. Does this game have them?

    Add another game to pile of which I won't play. I have a massive aversion to crafting based games. I prefer linear games.

    I bought myself a Nvidia Shield tablet this week. It arrived today. Apart from a brief 2 week stint with an Android phone about 5 years ago, this is my first Android experience. This thread is obviously huge, so can anybody narrow down the best/most have apps for my new tablet?!

    Monument Valley for a start game-wise. Other apps I always keep on my tablets are SeriesGuide, uTorrent, and ES File Explorer.


    Monument Valley can be got for free through amazon underground!


    The Talos Principle is another great game for your device.

    The above link is for the full version, but you can also buy by the episodes: -
    *** The Talos Principle is divided into six episodes with this initial purchase containing just the first episode. The remaining five episodes can be individually purchased in-game or all at once with a 40% savings via the Season Pass.***


    Don't forget "The Room" series and/or "Oddworld - Strangers Wrath"

    What apps are you using to access your SD Card? Is it formatted in a supported format and also doesn't exceed the size limit for the device.

    Can you trying using an app like "ES File Explorer" to copy a file to your card.

    Couldn't find your exact device on XDA. At your own risk, you could try rooting with the steps for a similar model.
