Six games that will look great on your Nexus 7
The new Nexus 7, with its full HD 1080P screen, upgraded processor, and support for Open GL ES 3.0, can be considered a "gaming beast" level tablet, especially when it comes to richer graphic effects such as lens flares, shadows, and shading which have significantly improved compared to the previous version of the Nexus 7. Of course, to achieve outstanding gaming visuals, powerful titles are required. Therefore, we've compiled a list of games with excellent graphics that can fully unleash the strong graphical performance of the new Nexus 7. If you're planning to get the new Nexus 7 soon, don't miss out on the following game content. Additionally, it's worth noting that Asphalt 8, this major racing title, should have been included in this list but due to not being released yet, it has been temporarily excluded; however, interested users can still keep an eye on it. Below is a list of six blockbuster games best suited for the new Nexus 7's full HD screen.
1. Riptide GP2
The famous jet ski game Riptide GP has launched its latest edition, and the comprehensively upgraded visual effects are unforgettable at first sight. In eight different world styles, the highly detailed restoration of the scenery is very realistic, featuring a large amount of lens glare, reflections, textures, and other details, making it one of the most visually stunning racing games on the Android platform currently. More importantly, Riptide GP2 has added a realistic physics engine, making the driving experience more authentic. It also offers various control forms, race types, and multiplayer online modes, greatly enhancing the overall playability compared to the previous version.
2. Wild Blood
Price: $6.99 (approximately 42 RMB)
Even though Wild Blood has been released for several months, its splendid 3D image effects remain quite prominent, making it perfect for playing on the new Nexus 7's full HD screen. This is a single-player action RPG (role-playing) game set in a fantasy world with rich scenes. The game uses virtual joysticks and buttons to control the character, allowing for attacks, dodges, special skills, and summoning companions. More importantly, the renowned Unreal Engine developed graphics give it a quality that rivals console games. The game also features a rich character, service, and weapon system. Overall, it's an outstanding heavyweight masterpiece in every aspect.
3. Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour
Price: $6.99 (approximately 42 RMB)
The Modern Combat series can almost be considered the best first-person shooter game available on touch-screen devices currently, and the fourth installment brings even more evolution. It boasts stunning visuals with game scenes spread across the globe, naturally including a rich weapons system — even controlling drones. Notably, the game allows you to play as the villain, a new element not seen in previous series entries. The visual effects are also astonishing, including beautifully rendered scenes and architecture, weapons, vehicles, and enemies filled with intricate details. The smoke and fire from explosions also appear extremely realistic.
4. Prince of Persia: The Shadow and the Flame
Price: $2.99 (approximately 18 RMB)
When Google unveiled the new Nexus 7, they demonstrated the latest Prince of Persia game, leaving a deep impression. This Ubisoft action blockbuster not only features an epic storyline and perfectly rendered 3D effects across 14 levels, but the characters' movements are also extremely rich, enabling running, jumping, rolling, dodging enemy attacks, and avoiding traps.
5. Real Soccer 2013
While some users might think FIFA is the best soccer game, the latest FIFA 2012 doesn't perfectly match the new Nexus 7, so here I recommend another soccer game, Real Soccer 2013. This game features exceptionally excellent texture effects, including the transition of grass color and the texture of players' shorts, all handled exceptionally well, and should perform more beautifully on the new Nexus 7's full HD screen. Besides good graphics, this soccer game also features smooth motions and a variety of modes, where the club mode allows you to hone your ball skills. Most importantly, it's the only free downloadable game on this list.
6. Bounty Arms
The last entry, Bounty Arms, is also one of the must-play blockbuster games recently. The graphics developed using the Unreal Engine are incredibly refined, making this platform game perfectly suited for running on the new Nexus 7. First, the vibrant colors of the visuals are unbelievable; you might even notice the sparks from weapon discharges, the details of green plants, and layered mountain road scenes. Meanwhile, a series of rich weapons, robot pets, and other elements make the game fun-filled. The only drawback is the confusing storyline, but the good gameplay feel should make you overlook this flaw.
