So I just got my Droid about a week ago. So far I love it, but I have thought of giving the palm pre a try. I love google maps free navigation and how much you can customize android. To be honest I am a pretty big gamer and love how casual 3D games are coming to phones. Palm Pre is getting all of this 3D game love and where is the android's love. I am kinda disappointed that android in general doesn't have any big name games. So my question to everyone is do you think we will see some 3d game love or do you think android is going to get the shaft. Do you think with the market being so segmented between 1.6, 2.0, 2.1 will it ever happen?
Show me the 3D games!

It think the issue right now is SD card storage. That issue always seems to come up as a major gripe with Android. And while there are work-arounds for the problem, it isn't technically resolved until an Android update comes out that enables apps to be stored on the SD card.
Also, with this new generation of Android phones coming out now (Droid, Nexus 1, etc.), we may start to see more developers taking advantage of the newfound power under their hoods.

Yea, everything I have read (on here, the journal, other sites) seems to point that the reason behind this is because of SD storage. I've read that the reason why google doesn't allow installing/running apps directly from the sd card is for anti-piracy reasons, but they are trying to figure out a way to enable this ability.
Let's hope it comes sooner than that. Till then Android is hamstrung. It's like cutting off someone's leg just before they go run a marathon.
Exactly, all this stuff they "could" do on future products doesn't help the millions of people who got Droids and N1's.
while speedforge isn't the best 3d game out there, it is more than definetaly a step in the right direction, but until google opens up the sd card for app storage, i don't see anything really impressive happening.
really hoping the latest this happens is froyo, but something like a 2.1.1 or 2.2 update would be much nicer.
I just hope they support the older phones seems like they don't update phones all that much once they are out.
right now, without even thinking about it, I can name 5 really awesome completely 3D accelerated games on my Droid that no one has mentioned:
Armageddon Squadron - WWII Air Combat Arcade Shooter
Iron Sight - 3D artillery game
Toonwarz - FPS
Raging Thunder - Arcade racing
Wave Blazer - Powerboat racing
These are all iPhone games ported to Android by Polarbit, and all are awesome and perform flawlessly.

It depends on just how old the hardware is. There comes a point where the performance of an older OS outweighs the benefits of a newer one.
There's Hyperspace (racing game) and Mystique (a mystery/adventure kind of game, sort of like Myst).
I'm pretty impressed with the emulators.. They work great on the DROID!! I have NEsoid, Gensoid, SNESoid and Gearoid!
I had quake for a little while just found it too difficult to play on the phone. You can get doom as well. They are full versions. Quake wasn't on the market.
