Default Shadowgun vs. Dead Space

Do they both run well on a stock Flyer running Honeycomb?

Which should I buy (OK, which should I buy first...lol)?

LOL, 160 views and no comments?

Well, at any rate I do have an update to report: last night I bought and installed Shadowgun.

I haven't really had any time to play the game, but I can report that it definitely installs and runs on a plain-vanilla unrooted Flyer running stock Android Honeycomb. You need 250 MB of free space for the data download, which consists of 11 packages that download consecutively.

The game does run. I played it just about 5 minutes, so I cannot really speak to how fun it is or how well it will perform when the action gets hard and heavy. However, from the get-go you have a chance to kill two baddies and the Flyer handled the situation with nary a hiccup.

Graphically, this is a beautiful game. Can't wait to spend some time with it so I can give a fuller review.

I have dead space and it runs now since they updated it.

So fun and smooth that I'm on my third play thru.

Bought Shadowgun after it listed for .49 .... It's ok. Dead Space is better. I'm more happy with my Dead Space for 6.99 purchase than Shadowgun for .49

i did the same and installed them both when they were cheap... i'm on honey pot 1.1 and having a lot of crashes.. not force closes i get an error for those... instead these apps are just closing on their own it's like they reach a buffer overflow or something and they just completely crash... wish i could play these games like everyone else with out issue

I think the flyer doesn't have that much ram to support these apps/games... I was using the neutron music player and the player just closes by itself when there's not enough memory. So I guess it's pretty much the same for these games since their graphics are quite impressive! =)

Well if the flyers 1GB of RAM isn't enough, what devices would this play on?

Maybe the GPU isn't up to snuff, I can see that.

Now, admittedly I've only completed the first level, but I have encountered no problems or slowdowns with Shadowgun. Works for me.

LOL, looks like both these games are $.49 today. Get 'em while they're cheap, boys!!! (I know I'll be snagging Dead Space when I get home).

I don't think this is accurate. Both games play very well on the flyer/view. I'm just enjoying Dead Space way more.
