Samsung galaxy y (model GT-S5360) is a good android device to own if you have not experience android os phone yet. It is the cheapest smartphone available in galaxy series to-date with android version 2.3.5 (GINGERBREAD) operating system which can be updated to the latest version v2.3.6. The availability of wide variety of free applications especially games, video players, organizers, etc in the market for android smartphone devices is a good reason to own one.
However, the problem of Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 for gamers is the lack of appropriate GPU to be able to play most of the HD games in the market. In order for you to play some of the HD games available in Android market and Samsung App Store you have to decide to rooting your phone. Rooting your phone is risky which i do not advice.
Anyway, if you just play games once in a while with this phone i have listed a good games here. Some are HD and 3D games that worked nicely. I have installed these games on my phone with default on everything (not rooted).
Note: links are from youtube for you to watch the game before you download.
Crusade of Destiny
is a nice 3D role playing game (RPG). This is the first game on my phone that i had completed. The story line and quests are excellent. You’ll notice most of the time when you are in a town the graphics of your character is distorted (but minimal). You can also use and assign skills, wear armor and use potions.
Zenonia 3
is an action role-playing game created, developed, and published by Gamevil. This game is FREE and I really recommend this one. At first i don’t like it but after i started the story i’m stuck with this game. The maximum level of your character is 99. You can find different drop items that can be upgraded, inserted with attribute stones. You can also make an item by collecting recipes. I’ve already finished the story of my first character assassin and now i am back to the game with my Sword Knight.
Dungeon Hunter 1
a popular HD role playing game for smartphone. Choose from three different characters, quests, dungeons, variety of armors, skills etc. What we did was after we install the game we manually transfer the data folder from installation folder of my friend’s phone to mine for the sake of testing and it works.
Emissary of War
3D Action RPG style gameplay! Very nice graphics and feel. The story too is great!
X Construction
Build a bridge with the given amount of materials to let the train safely cross the valley. We’ve been addicted to this game recently. Be an engineer and design your own bridge.
Heavy Gunner
a 3D Inter-Galactic Shooter against an alien invasion!
GT Racing
HD game for racers. For this game to work you have to rename the intro video which cause an error pop-up when opening. Just click the button and race.
Angry Birds
the most popular game of all time choose from variety of installer 
. I hear this game all the time.
TurboFly 3D
a nice racing when you are bored.
Racing Moto
a very simple game.
