Thread: Kindle fire and gaming

The kindle fire is almost here and it's Amazon's first tablet e-reader. I was wondering how the game selection is going to be? I know they already mentioned the likes of Plants Vs. Zombies and Angry Birds, but I was wondering if any other popular games will be released? Maybe some FPS, racing, etc. I understand it's not a power house tablet, but I'm sure a lot of decent games can work on this bad boy.

I doubt it will take off. The iPad is the best gaming tablet and it isn't even that great. These pads lack controllers/controls that are much needed for great gaming.

good job

It is good for playing small games. Already, there is Android 4.0 for it, so that means you could play Assassins Creed, NFS, GTA III, GT Racing Academy etc.

They did a good job porting GTA 3 to touchscreen IMO. I played it recently and it was really enjoyable. They should be led by that example.

Sure they did. It is great. Even playable on my Desire.

You see? While I played it I thought touch screen technology could really cope with standars of today. I don't think the games like COD and stuff will be playable, but, hell, I thought they won't be playable with controllers 10 years ago, and yet they are now.

I have on my phone Brothers in Arms, which is FPS. I also had Battlefield Bad Company 2, great games.

Playable on touchscreen.

Very nice. So it has potential after all and I'm looking forward to it.

Sure it is. It is really moving forward, that technology right?
