So we just got new work telephones. Our boss got us all Samsung Galaxy S2's so we can maximize our productivity and synergize strategies in the global marketplace or something. I'm gonna play games on mine!
So what are the must-have games on Android? I'm looking mainly for Android-exlusive titles coz if it's on iOS as well it's likely that I've already played it on my pad. Recomendations for other apps are welcome too.

I'm a huge... "HUGE" fan of "Stupid Zombies"
Also good are "Tank Hero" and "Speedx3d"
I'm just trying out something called Cyberlord Arcology or something like that. kind of action rpg. No thoughts yet. All of these have a free version.

I just got an Xperia Play a week ago or so. So far I've been primarily playing emulated console games (love the D-pad and buttons), but some of the native Android games I have enjoyed include Cordy (wouldn't play this without buttons though), and the port of Cut the Rope. Aporkalype seems like a reasonably fun puzzle game (be it with a silly premise), but I haven't played too much of it yet.
I tried the Zenonia games, but they felt kinda clunky :(

Heeey this is not bad! :D Such an obvious concept as well, it's basically a physics puzzle game that poses the scenario: "there are 4 zombies and you have 3 bullets, what do you do?" It's amazing that noone has made a game like this before. Or maybe someone has and I've just missed it. That you're basically playing Bruce Campbell doesn't make the game worse either. :)
Tank Hero was a bit too clunky to be really enjoyable imo. Speedx3d might well be the most fun "tunnel-racer" game I've ever played, though that's not saying much. I'm not crazy about it.
I've never played a roguelike but I guess I'll try out Legends of Yore once I become suitably bored of my life. :p
Still gotta play Aporkalypse.
Searching the marketplace I did find some other cool games/apps though:
Super Stickman Golf - this is the most played game on my iPad. The Android version is free and it contains new levels so of course I'm loving it as well.
X Construct - physics puzzle game in which you build bridges for trains. I remember playing the PC version of this back when the "physics puzzle" genre didn't even have a name yet. Very fun, though the controls are more fiddly on Android than they were on PC.
FxCamera - a free app that lets you apply all kinds of filters to your photos as you snap them. Loving it.

Legends of Yore isn't really a roguelike, just hack and slash. You can turn permadeath off. Also been playing I Must Run, Pew Pew and EVAC. Not sure if these are on ios tho

Cut The Rope is good fun. And try Field Runners, a tower defence game.

RUN!

Also Cyberlords seems pretty cool from what I've tried so far per Volition's Advocate's comment above. Don't forget that henke was specifically requesting non-iOS games in the original post.

Wouldn't it be great if someone could mod System Shock 2 into an Android compatible game? If I missed that somewhere on this forum please direct me accordingly ~~ :eek:

Considering a big appeal of SS2 is the scary factor that works best on a big screen in a dark room and would be destroyed by playing on a tiny Droid on a subway in 10 minute bursts between stops - no, I dont think so.
