Forums - Gaming - qustion about andriod phone games

All I play is generic scrabble and Angry Birds. Both are free



Android vs. iPhone gaming is kinda like Mac vs. Windows gaming. Android has less selection, and the prices tend to be a little higher, but the biggest iPhone hits tend to make it over to Android eventually. Though some games don't take the porting process very well.

that kinda sucks what are the top 10 iphone games and are they on android



Not sure exactly what you mean by "top ten." There are a lot of ways you might measure that. Here are the current top ten grossing games on iOS and whether there's an Android version (as far as I know):

1. Angry Birds - Yes

2. Dead Space - No

3. Tap Zoo - No

4. Minecraft World Explorer - No

5. Smurf's Village - No

6. Call of Duty: Zombies - No

7. Plants vs Zombies - No, coming later this year

8. Zombie Farm - No

9. Fruit Ninja - Yes

10. Live Poker (from Zynga) - No

You mentioned Infinity Blade, and as far as I know, Epic has no plans to release an Android version. On the other hand, I hear Gameloft has a pretty good selection of games for Android.

gameloft will most likely rip every good game on iphone and make it android. 

recently ripped counter strike and put it on PS3, i am sure they will rip off such iphone games as: dead space and call it not alive space, zombie farm - undead farm, call of duty: zombies - call of honor: not alive, tap zoo - touch safari 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

Trends in sales show Android is now bigger, probably games editor will also move to the platform.

google will try it best to make Android and game friendly market as possible

Iphone has a lot of crappy apps and games, but Android has more of the better Apps and games.

Iphone = Quantity

Android = Quality

though since Android is becoming very popular , lots of crappy apps are going on androids as well.

Android has a large installed base now, but the last estimates I saw of its software revenue share pegged it at less than 1/10th the size of the App Store. The fact is that Google is doing a lousy job with the Android Market. People find discovery and payment harder. That's why everybody from Amazon to Verizon is trying to cook up their own Android app store. Some have even suggested that Google is deliberately trying to undermine paid native apps to promote ad-supported apps and web apps, because Google's so good at monetizing through web ads. 

And no PullusPardus, just because the Android has fewer apps, it doesn't follow that those apps are higher quality. The only quality games I can think of on Android that aren't on iOS are ROM emulators. If you know of something else, I'd love to hear it, but quality tends to go where the money is.
