Ask DLS: Cross-platform multiplayer games that work on Android and iOS
There's no dearth of multiplayer games either for Android or for iOS. But finding multiplayer games that can cross the platform boundary is an entirely different matter.
Jay recently posted Words with Friends which is one such game. It's actually an ideal example, because it's turn-based so you don't necessarily both have to be next to your device at the same time (great for long-distance gaming).
But what other examples are there? What multiplayer games are there that let iOS users play with Android users?

I believe Dungeon Defenders: First Wave has cross-platform multiplayer, but you need a high end Android device to run it (even devices with first-gen Snapdragons don't cut it).

Words with Friends is terrible on android. While I understand it was ported recently, it was released far to early and still needs considerable updates. They still have far to many bugs to work out before the app even becomes semi-playable. My girlfriend (iPhone) and I (android obviously) couldn't even make it through one game due to the app continually crashing.
