    Hey, so im new to the Smartphone world, got a Galaxy S II looking for some help on apps/games?

    Apps
    I have a QR reader atm, iplayer, flashplayer

    Any one recommend a good sync app? Preferably one that allows photos to be put into a folder on PC i want by date taken?

    Games
    I enjoyed galaxy on fire (has a shot on missus iphone) but wanted something similar on android? or stratagey and multiplayer games.

    Any tips would be ace :)

    I have checked XDA forums but finding them hard to digest!!!

    I only really play puzzle games on my phone because of time constraints on buses etc. Unblock Me is fun for a while. Ill see if i can remember some more later.

    Dropbox for the first want?

    I also have the following installed:
    Steam
    TechPowerUp!
    Bit-Tech
    Go SMS Pro
    Phonebook 2.0
    Dialer One
    AdFree (as I'm rooted)
    Adobe PDF Reader
    Mixzing Premium

    And a couple to satiate your games requirement (though neither are exactly what you asked for, they both quite happily occupy):
    OnLive
    Sonic the Hedgehog

    This is all on an S II as well, rooted running a pre-release build of ICS (will update to the release version soon)

    As long as it's in the 'Story' series, I agree 100%

    I just bought Dungeon Village and I'm pretty disappointed, it's like watching an MMO being played with no fun interaction...

    I've played and beaten Game Dev, Hot Springs, Grand Prix and Pocket League Story, all worth the purchase. They're great strategy-sim games.

    Dropbox has an automatic photo uploading feature, maybe try that?

    On the game front Where's the Water is awesome, the obvious Cut the Rope and Angry Birds...Dead Space actually handles really well, and looks incredible. And Cordy is pure platforming awesomeness!

    Lightbox has some cool uploading features for photos, it's more of an online portfolio type thing though...

    Most of these are on my tablet, rather than my Desire (something locks up, mostly when I'm playing music, and factory resets don't seem to help...)

    Games -

    Angry birds (Rio, Seasons), of course,
    Fruit ninja
    Robo defense
    Ceramic destroyer

    Apps -

    App Backup & Restore
    Super backup (contacts, SMSes)
    Network Speed
    Wifi File transfer
    MixZing basic - music player that'll access /extsd
    Hackers Keyboard - tablet
    Swype - phone
    calcoolator (sic)
    Zarchiver

    The three games I always come back to are:

    Angry Birds (naturally)
    Bubble Buster
    Stupid Zombies

    All are free and very (very) simple, but are addictive and time consuming enough for what I need them to be.

    Don't use the iplayer app, the video quality is awful compared to the mobile site, get on that instead.

    As Parge said, Osmos is just epic!
