MOGA Mobile Gaming System for Android Smartphones Available from T-Mobile

t's no secret that smartphones (and tablets) are generally ill-equipped for certain games, at least as far as physical controls are concerned. So T-Mobile is offering a solution in the form of the MOGA Mobile Gaming System, created by PowerA.

I own the MOGA and have mixed feelings about it. Here's my semi review:

The controller itself is semi-decent. I would say the feel of it is overall cramped and the sliders on it are responsive but kind of rigid. Think of it akin to the 3DS sliders except not as good. The buttons are satisfyingly "clicky" and responsive. The triggers are nice although they are NOT analog. The response time is pretty good. The PS Vita and 3DS (OG and XL) are definitely more comfortable overall but the MOGA is good enough for some light gaming.

I'm much more critical of the software available and the Android Pivot app. There are only a handful of titles available- and most are Gameloft. That in itself isn't horrible, however, any titles you purchased from Google Play WILL NOT PLAY. Only Gameloft games purchased from Gameloft's store will work. The problem is supposed to be fixed on November 8th a Power A rep informed me. I hope that date isn't smoke and mirror's. This isn't the only problem I had- Sonic CD was supposed to be included for free but the download code didn't work. Lastly the Android Pivot app is extremely glitchy on my Nexus 7. My downloaded software sometimes appears under the games supported list, and sometimes it doesn't. The marketplace section that is supposed to let you download supported titles is more or less a Gameloft store portal. 40 games were promised at release- there are only a handful your able to download that aren't directly from Gameloft and their dumb store.

If you were turned off by my pseudo review I don't blame you, however I believe this product has potential. Power A has some of the best customer support I've ever dealt with. I believe the product is almost there. A few kinks need to be worked out. Give the device a couple of months and it should gain enough industry support.

This type of attachment is what the nx box controller needs for smartglass.. It would be less expensive than investing into a controller with a built in screen.. We shall see that they do but as far a phone games go, i will NEVER support it.. Sony/Nintendo handhelds for life baby..

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5069d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905069d ago (Edited 5069d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5069d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5069d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495069d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5069d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5069d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
