Concrete Software has just released Aces Solitaire which is a collection of over 15 solitaire games for $14.99. This game costs almost double what the competition charges but you are getting 15 games. This may be a perfect solution for passing the time between meetings.
The Aces Solitaire game includes FreeCell, Spider, Klondike, Pyramid, Golf, and an undisclosed 10 more games. I can’t understand why they would not just tell you what the other 10 games are . There is a trial option but it seems to be a desktop only “.exe” file.
Concrete Software is still new in the BlackBerry game market but they really need to get a move on maturing. For example offering OTA downloads would be a start. Or getting a web designer to update their copyright footer from 2005. Or even simply making the subtitle under each screenshot a larger font than the current 5pt font. (I know I am a nitpick but check out their website if you don’t believe me)
