(Part 2) Top products from r/AndroidGaming

The controller is $34.99, and the Xstander phone clip is $9.99.

It might seem kinda expensive for what it is, but trust me the build quality is great, its very sturdy and super easy to use. Turns any phone into a hand held retro/emulation gaming device.

8bitdo Xstander Expandable Clip for SNES30

Depends on your particular use case. I bought an Ipega 9055 specifically because it will hold most phones both vertically and horizontally. The build quality is acceptable, but definitely a little cheap feeling. I've used it on and off for 4ish months with no issue. Pairing it up is simple, and it's quite responsive. One caveat, howver, is that apparently the joysticks behave more like cleverly disguised 4-way dpads than true omni-directional joysticks. This may or may not be an issue for you, depending on what games you play. I really only play emulators or other tactics games, so I tend to use the dpad anyway.

The folks over at XDA still haven’t cracked the Note 3? That is surprising. I have the Moga Power Pro (same as the pro but bigger battery and can charge you device) and the Pocket. You will not be disappointed by the quality of Moga, any model you choose is well built and sturdy. I don’t recommend the pocket because you will need root with some emulators, the pocket does not have an HID mode like the pro. The 3rd controller you mentioned seems a lot like the IPEGA-9025 and should cost about 20.00 bucks. I read mixed reviews about the IPEGA some bashing the quality of the buttons and others bashing the compatibility with apps and phones. Is Gameclip and option because I think the OTG cable to the Sixaxis controller directly should work. Good Luck, If you do get the IPEGA post a review.

There are some really good ports of Lego games:

• Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga
  
• Lego Lord of the Rings
  
• Lego Batman: Beyond Gotham
  
• Lego Batman: DC Super Heroes
  
• Lego Marvel Super Heroes
  
  Here are some other good ports:
  
  
• Minecraft
  
• Mickey's Castle of Illusion
  
• Ducktales Remastered
  
• World of Goo
  
• Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing
  
• Sonic Racing Transformed
  
• Octodad: Dadliest Catch
  
• Goat Simulator
  
  As for some android originals, I have really enjoyed some of the stuff Amazon Game Studios has put out. They limit availability to Kindle devices, unfortunately, but if you have a Kindle you can play it there or back it up and copy it to another non-Kindle device where it also works fine.
  
  
• Lost Within
  
• Til Morning's Light
  
• Tales from Deep Space
  
• Sev Zero

The fire tv and ouya versions of this game are playable sideloaded on practically all Android devices:
https://www.amazon.com/Ansimuz-Elliot-Quest/dp/B00R1SXPRO

You only need a gamepad or if you are root you can play it using touchscreen controls with apps like tincore or gamekeyboard+.

Elliot Quest is a pretty cool console game with 3 different endings and a lot of secret areas and bosses, great for Android tvs and boxes. Available on Steam too.

Currently 33% off on both app stores:-

I bought it on 23/12/2014 for €4.65, Only now completed the full game on easy! that's a full month of occasionally playing it. Will be replaying it again at Normal level.

Highly recommend this game, works great on the Nexus 9, check the required specs for the game before purchasing.

You mentioned you have a wireless 360 controller. Instead of buying a wired one you might want to try one of these. I have a Nexus 7 and a wired 360 controller and it works great. I've read that those wireless dongles work with the N7 as well, so it would probably work with your tablet.

Looks like it is free on Amazon

OP link is for australia. Get it free here

this is good if you want a basic gamepad

It is also available on the Amazon appstore for .99 for those that have Amazon coins leftover.

Try that. Can't go wrong for $4

The sticks don't seem quite as bad as with the Ipega. I don't play any native games that use it, but in Mario 64 I can tip-toe walk with the default configuration with a light touch on the stick. I had to reduce sensitivity to ~85% with the Ipega for that. At 1 deadzone and 90% sensitivity it seems to be working well on Mupen64Plus FZ, though I'd say it's still a bit too sensitive by default.

I don't know if different manufacturers do things differently with the hardware or firmware, but if it matters, I bought the CamRom branded one.

What phone do you have?

I use an otg adapter and a wireless pc adapter for my wireless 360 controller. I didn't have to install anything extra. I imagine if you had a wired controller you would just need the otg adapter.

I think this is the otg adapter I use.

This is the wireless receiver that I use.

Here's the US link.

If you don't have big hands this might do the trick.

I hear LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga has controller support.

I've converted the list to the uk amazon (just changed .com to .co.uk). I hope this works.
