    Beware of Android apps from google app store


    Hi all

    Beware of what you install on these android smart phones.

The game runs perfectly fine but when I move the mouse the game lags.
Man, never thought this would happen. Works great on my crappy 5-year-old laptop. Has sound popping and graphics lag with my 6-month-old PC (click my link for specs.) Anyone run into this?
