Help Any reason why games look horrible on nexus compared to other devices?

a very simple example is the game called Field goal. I install it on my cm9 touchpad and poof, game looks incredibly clear etc. So i wanted it on the go, i install it on my nexus and eww game is nasty. Looks an NES game. pixelated etc. Same goes for games like Reckless racing etc etc. Why is that? isn't the GPU in this phone powerful to run these games clear and sexy?
 
Hmm, do you have "force GPU rendering" checked in the settings?

I'd try unchecking that - I haven't found a single game that looks bad.
 
Here are the 2 examples.I don't have the pics from my touchpad up yet but u can see the grainyness of both games.and worse in motion.no I don't have that option checked. Wat the hec.I can't upload the pics

I'd be curious to see your pics/examples if you can get them uploaded. I tend to agree that Flick Kick Fieldgoal tends to look better on other phones. However, games like NFL Kicker and NFL Flick Quarterback are downright gorgeous on this phone.
 
ok so then ya do agree games look poorer on the nexus compared to other devices?

guess that also explains why they look better on the touchpad since resolution on the touchpad is less.
