Although I've played far less Asphalt 7, I found NFS better.

Same here - didn't play A7 much as the graphics were a bit lame - a quick play on NFS and it looks much better than A7.

CoPilot is a fiver off currently for the UK & Ireland version. £14.99 instead of £19.99

Anyone actually bought and tried TomTom?

MadMossy · 21 Dec 2012 at 10:45

Tried it, didnt like the interface as it felt sluggish even on a One X

Gone back to snowstorm, whilst eye in the sky is very nice and accurate, I just prefer how all the info. is presented for snowstorm and the widget is more useful too!

Dolphin has been crashing all over the place lately, anything else I should switch to? Or shall I stick to the stock browser?

I keep going back to Chrome. Yeah, it's a bit slower than others but I love that it syncs all my tabs with desktop chrome.

Grabbed wild blood, seems decent

Nexus18 · 21 Dec 2012 at 15:16

What is the stock browser? Touchwiz or sense etc.?

Quick ics browser (as well as dolphin, but since you're having problems with it, that is out of the question

) would be my choice over every other browser except sense browser.

BTW Pudding Monsters is on the market now, by the same developers of cut the rope, pretty fun wee game.

Snap, it is a tad slower but its never crashed on me and the syncing with my desktop bookmarks etc is excellent.

Does anyone have problems with Snowstorm finding their location? I thought it was when I was on my home wifi but it seems to just hang even if I'm on 3G. Seems to be after the update about a month ago :confused:

Enjoying GTA Vice City on my nexus 10.
Didn't really like the controls but plugged a Xbox 360 controller in and it works perfectly and plays pretty much the same as it did on the PS2.

TomTom, copilot so far has been great but the real test will be this weekend when I test it for work, as the traffic management will get a proper work out :-)

Anyone know a good vertical scrolling shooter?

R-Type is the best there is, and it's on offer
