Virtua Tennis Challenge is actually really fun and looks good. (playing on a tablet)

Thanks for the heads up. Went ahead and bought crystal defenders.

Good stuff, OP.

The Game of Life isn't compatible with the Galaxy S II? wtf EA?

Thanks for the info.

Thanks asheskitty. Picked Gangstar Rio and N.O.V.A. 3 for now.

Might want to note in the OP that Zen Bound 2 and Spirits were both in Humble Bundles (to give people a moment to think twice, preventing double purchases).

Thank OP, Picked up NOVA 3 and Swiftkey. Too bad Gangstar Rio is not available for T-mobile Galaxy S II otherwise I would pick that up too

Swiftkey is the best keyboard i have used on android.

Well worth the .99

Paid full price for Swiftkey and didn't regret it. Would have paid $10.

This could go nicely with the Nexus I bought last weekend and the $25 credit they gave me. Thanks OP

I don't even have max Payne in my play store. Searched for it and got nothing. I have a AT&T galaxy s3. Thanks for the info though, going to get swift key and spirits. I almost upped my HIBfor android 3 donation amount just cause spirits looked fun but decided against it hoping for a sale like this. I wish there was another 10 cent sale as I missed out on that one, but this sale will suffice.

For those of you who didn't know (like me) there are two versions of Swiftkey 3. One for phones and one for tablets. Yes, the phone one works on tablets but it isn't really optimized for it.

Also, Crystal Defenders is down to $0.99 from $1.26. I am tempted to get it, but I hear it has a lot of crashing issues. Can anyone who has a touchpad with CM9 on it comment?

No CM9 here but game does have an online check every time you play.

Thanks OP, picked up Max Payne, works great on my Nexus 7!

Thanks! It looks tempting; I'll probably bite.

I my haste of putting together the post together, I hadn't noticed it was SquareEnix (and supposedly related to FF:Tactics). Thanks!

Thanks. Done. I also reshuffled the lists to bubble the big name stuff to the top.

That Play store whitelist/blacklist stuff is annoying. I have sometimes circumvented by buying and sideloading the apk from another device. That $0.10 was in December, I'm feeling confident that they'll have it again. The big publisher titles are somewhat the star of this sale, as those are less likely to break a buck. Some other deals are out of cycle; I picked up GTA III for $0.99 in March (St. Patty's Day?) The Greenlight Bundle added Android versions of Ichi, Samurai II Vengeance, Gunman Clive and Paper Monsters. CAG Thread if those interest you enough for $5.

Thanks! I updated the price. I have swiftkey 3 and a handful of others. My personal favorite on 7" tablets is Thumb Keyboard (not on sale, got as Amazon FOTD) as I like the extended layouts an ability to add a row of number keys at the top.

It's not part of this sale, but Zombies, Run is also on sale from $8 -> $3. I've been waiting for a sale on it, so I grabbed it, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. But I know a lot of people who seem to love it as they run. Hoping it can help get me in shape a bit.

From the sale, I might pick up Crystal Defenders and Spirits.

Max Payne is not listed on the deal page because it actually is not part of this deal, but is a seperate Rockstar deal for android and ios. It does end on Labor Day as well.

I'll probably get a Nexus 7 soon but I don't currently have an Android device. Is there any way to buy something without an Android device?

unfortunately no, that's still one area that iOS has Android beat
