Android gaming!

Can you fine folks recommend me some decent Android games for my new smarty-pants phone? Or respectable publications that talk about such entertainment?
Ideally i'd like something that's more about depth than reflexes or action - a tactical rpg would be right up my alley, but the marketplace hasnmt turned up much that looks worthwhile.
Can any of you mobile game gurus point me in the right direction?
Go to the Market. Search for Tiger Emulators. Then look up ROM Gripper.
Proceed to enjoy any NES, SNES, Gameboy Advanced, Gameboy Color, or Sega Genesis game you can think of. Those platforms have some of the best tactical rpgs of all time.
You're welcome.
The onscreen controls are a bit finicky for more action oriented games, though I was able to make some progress in punch out.
But yes, being able to play march of the black queen on the go is pretty great.
I just recently got my new phone, and I've been downloading stuff like crazy. I already have way too many games for every other system I own. It's a real problem.
Need for Speed Shift is pretty fun (it came with my phone). Just picked up Spectral Souls (tactical rpg), which is actually a $15 game, but it's pretty good so far. Some decent free ones I've played:

Yeah, playing the more twitch based games is hard because the controls are a little finicky. Super Tecmo Bowl for instance was a little hard to play.
So I switched to only playing turn-based or tactical rpgs. There are so so many of those types of games on those older systems.
For tower defense games there's Robo Defense. Got heavily updated recently, which is nice.
Pocket Legends is really cool, but mostly in the sense that it's possible and works. The game is just grinding and really repetitive. It's free though, unless you want to pay for their in-game premium currency that you also get from installing other apps...

Sounds neat, runescape-y but with a local world mirror aspect to it. Theres really no tactical rpgs that I've found, sadly.
http://www.androgamez.com/ is where I peruse games.
Didn't realize that was a no-no on the forums. Its on the legal Android Market and all so I didn't think anything of it.
Sorry duders.

Angry Birds (no shit)
Slice It!
Gun Bros
Bonsai Blast
Alchemy
I had played some game where you're a miner, mining mines. That was fun for a few minutes.
Air Control Lite is free.
In general though, every game I've tried has been atrocious.

I also enjoyed Everlands although it's pretty short.
I hear it's like Doodle Jump, I can neither confirm nor deny, as I've never played Doodle Jump.
Pocket Legends is interesting as a tech demo, I've haven't played it enough to tell wither it's good or not.
