One of my biggest gripe over my Nexus One is the lack of quality games in Android Market. Sure they have a couple of good games in there, but if you're going to compare those games to those in Apple's App Store, then you'll definitely feel the gap there, heck even Windows Phone 7 have some quality games underway!
Android actually have some quality games too, some of them can be found in Android Market and some of them.. can't. Gameloft games are a good example on this case. Gameloft is one of the big boys when it comes to mobile gaming experience, they have lots of great games on their line up. Games like, Avatar, N.O.V.A, Asphalt 5, Dungeon Hunter are some fair example to justify their existence in mobile gaming industry. Gameloft also made those games for Android version too, but for some unknown reason, they refuse to put those games in Android Market and opted to put it in their own store. You can buy the game using a credit card on their website, and after that, Gameloft will send you a text message about how to install the game.
Recently today, Gameloft is now offering Android owners to try their games before buying it. The games are on HD quality, it means that you can only play this game on Android device that supports HD resolution display (eg. Nexus One, EVO 4G, Droid X, Galaxy S.) So if you own one of the supported Android phone, you may go to the website either from your Android device or from PC to start downloading the game. A couple of quality games like N.O.V.A, Asphalt 5, Hero of Sparta, Let's Golf! and Dungeon Hunter are available to download. So what are you waiting for? Hit that link to try it yourself.
