    For some reason it says that Mass Effect Infiltrator is unsupported on my Galaxy S 2. (GT-I9100)
    But i already got GTA 3 10th Anniversary Edition and i can safely say that it stays true to my fond memories of playing it on PS2. :D

    Claims ME:Infiltrator is incompatible with both my phone (LG Optimus Slider) and my rooted Nook Color. Others on XDA are reporting it works just fine, so I don't know what the issue is.

    Had the same problem with Plants vs. Zombies and I was able to fix it by sideloading, so we'll see.

    EDIT: Runs just fine on my nook, after I procured it through... alternate means. I'd love to pay them for it, but alas, it seems they won't let me, because I was never supposed to be able to play it. Seriously, if someone can tell me how to legitimately purchase this game despite not having a device listed as compatible, I am more than willing to do so.

    Can't really figure out the controls, though.

    IMO, looks at least as good as an XBox 1 / PS2 game, which is quite good considering I'm playing it on what was supposed to be an e-reader. Eats my battery life alive, though, but that was to be expected. Had to increase my overclock to 1.2ghz, but it plays fluidly :)

    You can edit the build.prop (root rights needed). My Xperia Neo V is "not compatible" but I set my phone to be seen as a HTC DESIRE HD, so I was able to purchase it and of course, it runs fine.

    My iPhone 4S is feeling awfully mainstream right now...

    I stand corrected. It ran fine for the first mission on the snow planet, but once I got to the Cerberus base, it started to run like crap. I have an Iconia Tab A100 (7" Tegra 2) on order to pick up as soon as I get off work, hopefully that will solve my problem.

    I wonder if we will see more Touchscreen games for Windows 8 once it comes out?
