Contest: Win an ASUS Transformer Pad Prize Pack courtesy of ASUS, NVIDIA, and Talk Android [Week 1] 5

As we mentioned earlier, NVIDIA is hosting the Annual Players Choice Awards sponsored by ASUS. NVIDIA wants to find out what gamers think are the best games in the TegraZone for graphics, gameplay, and overall fun. To entice you to get your vote in, ASUS is giving away seven, yes that's seven ASUS Transformer Prize Packs to voters. Let's face it, I would be happy with just the Transformer Pad TF300 alone, but ASUS and NVIDIA are going all out by also including the keyboard dock, a Logitech controller, and a Jambox speaker. Are you kidding me? Make sure to head over to the Awards site to get your votes in so you will be entered for your chance to win.

But that's not all!! Talk Android has partnered with the awards, which means that ASUS has provided us with the same Transformer Prize Packs for our readers. We have a total of three, so that means that each week for the next three weeks, we will give one of our lucky readers one of these packs. We are going to keep this really simple. We want your votes for the same three categories as well. This is the first of three weeks. All you have to do is comment below with your favorite TegraZone game in terms of graphics. You have until next Wednesday, May 16th at 11:59pm EST. We will announce the winner on Thursday, May 17th and start up the second giveaway as well.

For more info about all the eligible games see our previous post or head over to the TegraZone.

Good Luck!!!

  2. Everytime I think in Tegra, Shadowgun THD popups to my mind. I only have a Tegra 2 device and just keep imaging all that in a Tegra 3 device… maybe one day! =)

  17. For graphics, Riptide GP because of the motion blur and water splashes. My #2 pick would be shadowgun

    Reply

  24. It’s simple, but Fruit Ninja is a blast. I also was able to try Siege Craft, and it was a lot of fun and visually compelling.

  34. GTA III of course!

    It’s amazing that this can be played on a phone, when just 9 years ago it took a $400 console, and 135w of power to play.

  43. all the games have great graphics! umm. not sure what to say otherwise. Just gimmie a Transformer pad!

  44.  SHADOWGUN is the best high graphic ,modern era game i have ever seen in ma life ….i am one of the luckiest person to play SHADOWGUN…i think android give this game to an extraordinary performance……..i want to play shadowgun in transformr pad also which give  a 100% percent experience to the viewers..

  47. Shadowgun THD is the best graphically good looking game i have played till now on a mobile device!

    Reply

  48. This is really difficult, none of the Tegrazone games are my absolute favorites, but I do play Shadowgun every once in awhile so that would be my favorite

    Reply

  53. I am also going to choose Shadowgun THD. The graphics are solid, frame rate rarely  is an issue and the game is fun! SGTHD is always a solid game to play on the go, on break at work or just killing time. The game would look even sweeter on the Transformer Pad in all it’s HD glory!! I WANT A PAD! ARGHHHHHH

    Reply

  54. I’m gonna have to go with Shadowgun. Even though I only have my little captivate, the game looks excellent. Shots from it running on actually Tegra devices look great.

    Reply

  55. I think that the game with best graphics is the golden arrow thd. Is just amazing and evolving all the details :-)

    Reply

  56. You’re making this tough as there are some darn fine looking games in TegraZone, but I’m going to have to go with ShadowGun THD.

    Reply

  59. NOVA 3!! FTW… wait F**K , not in tegrazone…damn, ok let’s say SHADOWGUN!! 

    What do you say now?…I win a transformer prime to play both games…ahhh you’re much to kind :D

    Reply

  61. Shadowgun hands down is the best game I’ve ever played on a mobile device graphics are smooth and crisp

    Reply

  65. Dark Meadow. Layed it on a friends Android Tablet, great game, very nice graphics. That’s why I’m entering this contest, in hopes of winning this device.

    Reply

  72. “Chuck Norris got bored one day and traveled to the year 2350…”

    ..He battled a intergalactic corporation…

    Long story short……………….WE HAVE SHADOWGUN!
    (best graphics by far)

    Reply

  77. The best TegraZone game in terms of graphics?

    Undoubtedly this is the Dark Meadow: The Pact. Stunning graphics and gameplay experience. Too bad I don’t have a Tegra 3 device to run it.

    Reply

  84. Pinball HD the best yet  but I am tempted by My Train Set – the fun of a train set without the cat knocking it over!

    Reply

  86. Pinball HD for Tegra looks amaizin ang graphic goes smooth.I recommend for everyone who likes pinball games!!!

    Reply

  87. Hamilton’sGreat Adventure THD looks nice and intresting. I need to play in this game. Texture is great and game has nice mood.

    Reply

  110. Can’t really comment on my favorite TegraZone game since I don’t have a device to play one on!.  But I promise I will! 

    Reply

  116. Without a doubt Shadowgun has revolutionized the way high resolution gaming is headed from a “mobile” standpoint! Having purchased the TF-101 way back on Black Friday (still the best purchase I have EVER made) Shadowgun+ASUS Transformer is the “Cat’s Meow!!” The ability to mirror my screen onto my HDTV in Hi-Def, and the option to use a controller, make this the new wave of the future! Just think of the possibilities?!?!

    Reply

  119. Shadow Gun! I’ve seen it on an htc one X and its awesome! better than riptide in my opinion!

    Reply

  121. I am torn… but I think I will go with Dark Meadow: The Pact. Shadowgun comes in a close second.

    Reply

  126. TBH most of them are pretty awesome, but I have to agree with Bret –
    Shadowgun is a pretty impressive game! My PC a few years ago wouldnt
    manage such graphic power without a load of fans (case, gfx card, PSU,
    CPU, etc) and a load of power being used. Now can be done easily on a
    phone! Love it!

    Reply

  131. I personally think that the syrim live wallpaper had amazing graphics and it does not slow down the Asus at all. (Tested on my friends Asus) .

    Reply

  138. I thought Shadowgun looked good on my phone, then I tried it on my tablet, it’s the best for sure!

    Reply

  139. Shadowgun looks incredible on Tegra 3! Everything is super smooth and quick. And playing with a USB controller would be even more amazing! It’s like playing Xbox 360 on an Android-powered laptop!

    Reply

  159.  definately shadowgun cause of the console like graphics, on a tegra 3 device it is astonishing to see how far android tablets have come and to top it all off control support is added  hmmmm asus and nvida u guys are creating the perfect storm..

    Reply

  164. Fruit ninja, although havent got a chance to try anything else because I dont have any fancy android device.

    Reply

  165. Though not my favorite in terms of gameplay, I think Shadowgun comes out on top for its graphics. Honorable mention to GTA III for maintaining a massive world while still looking excellent.

    Reply

  166. Shadowgun all they way!! Truly console quality graphics!
    On a totally unrelated note, next Thursday just so happens to be my birthday….

    Reply

  181. Tough call. For playability shadow gun is awesome, but for vibrant graphics, riptide gt is awesome!

    Reply

  192. Riptide GP. Graphics are awesome. The onscreen water effects are a subtle but nice added touch that add realism.

    Reply

  213. Galaxy on fire two has the best graphics out of any mobile game I’ve seen or Maybe I just don’t play enough games or something.

    Reply

  214. Shadowgun’s graphics, while not the newest had me smile as I remembered playing snake only a few years ago on a phone.

    Reply

  215. It would definitely have to be dark meadow: the pact as it is unparalleled with it’s texture rendering and amazing graphics.

    Reply

  216. Agreed. All amazing games. But the work that went into Glowball is pretty impressive. It doesn’t have the action of the others but the processor rendering is unmatched.

    Reply

  223. Graphics? 
    Renaissance Blood THD 
    takes the crown with ease. that just looks gorgeous. It’s pretty much console-level (and i don’t even mean the previous gen or the wii) of graphical beauty. 

    Reply

  227. My favorite game is Shadowgun.  The graphics are amazing.  The reflections, explosions and smoke details are fantastic, thanks to the Tegra 3 processor.  Hooking up a tablet to a large screen TV should show off the excellent graphics of Shadowgun and Tegra 3 tablets.

    Reply

  237. Hey! Everyone is saying Shadowgun only because they knew I would come here and say it :P lol jk but I think shadowgun for sure

    Reply

  244. I’m going to go with Shadowgun, but I haven’t played Dark Meadow.   Something tells me if I tried that, i’d change my vote.

  251. Sprinkle in terms of design and subtle graphics effects. The water physics can’t be beat!

    Reply

  260. i liked shadoww gun the best for a while because of the way it looked midevil was also a top for me because of the power the game gives you and the scale that it does it on. but now that dark meadow has come out and i have seen the differences between what the tegra 3 can do with and what it looks like on non tegra 3 platforms, i would have to say dark meadow because of the great step it took on mobile graphics.

  281. Shadowgun is the the most asskicking game there. Best graphics and loads of fun!!!!!! Can you ask for anything more?
    Well, maybe playing on my new Asus tablet!!!!!!!

  285. My favorite game from TegraZone in terms of graphics would be ShadowGun THD !

    Thank you for the contest !

    Reply

  287. While most of the Tegra-optimized games are gorgeous, there are 2 stand-outs in the best graphics category: Shadowgun and Dark Meadow: The Pact. I think the edge has to go to Dark Meadow for its console quality lighting effects.

    Reply

  288. Shadowgun THD hands down! It was revolutionary when it came to graphics! I remember when it first came out… it was mindblowing. It would be ridiculously awesome on a TF300! Make my dreams come true :)

    Reply

  310. In terms of graphics it has to be Shadowgun 

    In terms of game play I vote for Galaxy On Fire II

    Overall – Shadowgun! :)

    Reply

  311. “Dark Meadow: The Pact” it is like a game for PC but can be played at tablets, thanks to NVIDIA!

    Reply

  321. ”
    Galaxy on Fire 2 THD” Awesome graphics, depth of play , OpenGL ES 2.0 and add a story play too…!!!

    Reply

  325. Dark meadow the pact looks stunning and when I first saw the screenshots I thought I was looking at a computer game.

    Reply

  327. I would have to say that the best graphics for a TegraZone game would be Dark Meadow: The Pact.

    Reply

  330. Let’s be honest, shadowgun owns this department, and on tegra 3 its unbelievable!
    Hope to win to play it on t3… :)

    Reply

  332. Well its kind of a difficult choice betweet Dark Meadow and Shadowgun, but im gonna have to say Dark Meadow is just a bit better.

    Reply

  350. Dark Meadow of course, that game has amazing graphics. If only I could play it…hint hint.

    Reply

  355. best graphics and game play on a tegrazone game has got to be hands down galaxy on fire 2. it’s sweet how the distinct colors from the game’s planets, ships and stars stand out on the screen. many current gen games sacrifice playability and make games shorter just for nice looking graphics, galaxy on fire 2 does not. the game is very nice too look at while not sacrificing playability at all. galaxy on fire 2 is a good example of what a good console game can be like on a mobile device.

    Reply

  356. Originally I would say Shadowgun THD, but after seeing Dark Meadow: The Pact, I don’t think any graphics match it. Hands down.

    Reply

  358. Favourite in terms of graphics? Shadowgun THD takes it easily. Gears of War on your phone. Seriously.

    Reply

  365. Samurai II: Vengeance THD. The graphics make it seem like it’s a comic book come to life.

    Reply

  376. Shadowgun! The first game I got on my asus tf101, almost like playing my ps3 thr effects, sounds love it.

    Reply

  384. Shadowgun hands down! Especially if you like a Gears of War style game. I have played it several times on my X2

    Reply

  389. Shadowgun. Its such a great example of what console-quality games can be like on a mobile, and the graphics are fantastic too!

    Reply

  393. i wish i could make a comment but i got a mytouch slide 3g which stuck but as far as i know GTAIII is pretty amazing 

    Reply

  395. Riptide. One of the first games that really shine on a Tegra-device. The splashes and the waves are just eyecatchers! It is also the the first time I was convinced that a tablet can beat a computer in terms of graphics!

    Reply

  396. ShadowGun THD – it has definitely the best graphics, most detailed textures and it also uses dynamic lights and shadows which Nvidia has bragged about while releasing Tegra 3 chip.

    Reply

  401. Shadowgun is a completely phenomenal game with amazing graphics. I remember playing games on my Nintendo64 and orginal Xbox. Shadowgun surpasses the games on those consoles and matches the gameplay, all on a mobile platform.

    Reply

  412. Definitely Demolition Inc. The combination of amazing graphics and physics makes my eyes bleed.

    Reply

  427. I’m going to be one of the few to say Fruit Ninja optimized for tegra looks amazing. Not many people notice the extra detail it adds on the slash animations and the particles but they stand out to me.

    Reply

  434.  Dark Meadow: The Pact

    By far. Though I do love me some Shadowgun THD, and I’m reeeally looking forward to Renaissance THD.

    Reply

  438. Shadowgun THD is awsome in gameplay, graphics and supports gamepad :D a sure winner if you ask me :)

    Reply

  440. Graphics-wise? Definitely Riptide GP. However, Dark Meadow also looks really nice! If not for the water graphics in Riptide, Dark Meadow should win ;)

    Reply

  444. Definitely Riptide GP. 

    Too bad I can’t play it anymore since selling my galaxy tab 10.1  Would definitely be awesome to win the prize pack.

    Reply

  445. In my opinion, dungeon defenders has the best. It may not be the most realistic graphics but the shaders and lighting effects are amazing. Hope I win, thanks for putting this on and good luck to me and all the other entrants.
    May the odds be ever in your favor!

    Reply

  451. My favorite game, graphics wise, would be “Siegecraft THD.”  It immerses you in the environment, and is fun too!
