@jetsetwillie: Gah, whenever people just say "Androids" instead of Android OS or Android phone I still think of humanoid robots and not the operating system.
14px - Eurogamer Article This is a super meat boy style hard as nails platformer. FREE on Android and perhaps the best speed based control scheme I have seen on a touch device. Playing it a lot on my Nexus 7 right now.
Super Stick Man Golf The most time I have put into any mobile game. It's a 2D mini-golf with a really simple quality and great depth. Free (of course - I wouldn't pay for an app)
Although I didn't get a new android phone for gaming, it's surprising the lack of quality games on the platform. Either that, or I am just too spoilt with traditional gaming mediums to want to accept playing games that look to be made to be fun in a basic sense for a few minutes at a time like 'Cut the Rope' or 'Temple Run'. I also have an iPod Touch and still see nothing I really want to play on it besides messing around with 'Curiosity'.
Seems like I won't be understanding the appeal for mobile games for a while yet personally.
Waking Mars is pretty cool, not a lot of action but heavy atmosphere and a unique mechanic with growing little self contained ecosystems, its at least worth a look.
people don't buy androids for games, they buy them because there are not iphones
Opinions can only be black or white, full Apple lover, or android fanatic, people can't purchase a phone because of tastes, it all boils down to brand loyalty...
Okay, looks as if this thread has been resurrected for the wrong reasons, but whatevs...
The stuff released in the Humble Bundle is usually pretty solid. Even though they were ports of iOS games, I really enjoyed The Room and Superbrothers.
@shagge: If you're wanting to play more games on your Kindle Fire, look into side-loading Android apps. They don't always work, but you can experiment.

I've long since started sideloading since posting that, haha. (the lack of Google Play access was killing me) Cheers, though.

You can root it and put regular Android on a kindle fire.

I know.
Then why is the lack of google play access killing you? You could get it if you wanted it that bad.
[Word Hero] - it's multiplayer boggle, but I got really addicted at its real-time multiplayer
I really like the Humble Bundles with Android. They tend to release some great Android games first that way, and they're pretty good with updates for games that need them.
Ravensword is pretty neat. it's trying really hard to be an Elder Scrolls game. I had heard of it before, but never tried it before it showed up in the Ouya Store today.

The last Humble Bundle was android + PC/Mac focused. Should've gotten in on that.
That Humble Bundle pack is still going. Humble Bundle 6. They just added three more games to it as well. That pack alone (Stealth Bastard Deluxe, Organ Trail, Fractal, Aquaria, McPixel, Broken Sword, Frozen Synapse, Nightsky, and Waking Mars) is worth it for both Android AND PC.
