I've already posted about 3D games available for the LG Optimus V, but which games are best overall? Here I'll review some of my favorite apps available for the phone.
Angry Birds
Of course. The insanely popular bird-flinging physics based game couldn't be absent from this list. Why? Because everyone has it. Why not? This game runs on the Optimus V pretty well, although you might experience significantly laggy gameplay in the later levels.
Radiant HD
This game is great. It's a modern take on Space Invaders, and it's a very addictive arcade shooter. Not only that, it's also a great looking game in its own right.
Replica Island
This is a 2D platformer starring the famous Andy the Android. You fly and jump through tons of levels while uncovering the game's story by recovering memory logs.
Robot Unicorn Attack
Even after so long, this game is still incredibly fun and addictive. You control your robot unicorn with only two buttons and try to survive and beat your high score.
Minebuilder
As a Minecraft fan, this game shows real promise to me. Notch has revealed Minecraft Pocked Edition, but as of now it is only available for Xperia Play users. For the time being, Minebuilder is the closest thing you'll get to the full Minecraft experience on your Optimus V. There is occasional lag, but the game is very playable.
Raging Thunder 2
This one is my favorite. It's a high-speed racing game similar to the Asphalt series. The game is very graphically impressive, and it really gives you a sense of speed. Definitely pick this one up, or at least try the free version from the Market.
Pinball Ride
I have to mention this game just because I love pinball games. This is a full-3d arcade game with addictive gameplay. However, some might find it lacks depth. Also check out Pinball Deluxe.
Fruit Ninja
This fun and unique game is slowly reaching 'Angry Birds status' on the android market. The idea is simple - slice as many fruits as possible to get the high score. Very fun, and a great time waster.
Pool Break Pro
If you like pool, this is your game. It has full 3D graphics and online multiplayer. Pretty much everything you could want from a game like this.
Speed Forge 3D
This is a 3D spacecraft racing game. The gameplay is varied and has multiple levels of difficulty. Not too bad looking either. Definitely check this one out.
TurboFly 3D
This game is very similar in concept to Speed Forge. The main differences come from the game's speed and difficulty. This game is VERY fast, and gives you a real sense of speed. It's also quite a great challenge.
Tiki Golf 3D
A great golfing app for Android. Fun gameplay, multiple game modes, and online leaderboards make this a very robust application.
Need For Speed: Shift
The #1 thing this game has going for it is graphics. This game looks great, and runs fantastically on the Optimus V. There are many different levels and challenges as well as car customization. Definitely recommended.
No Gravity
This game is a 3D space shooter with full range 360 degree motion on all axes. VERY graphically impressive for this phone, as well as fully-featured and engaging gameplay.
