I woke up to a nice surprise in App World this morning. One of Android’s top game developers, Handy Games, has ported a few of their best games to the BlackBerry PlayBook using the Android Player. The list of new games includes their top titles like Guns’N’Glory which I really enjoy.
Here is the list of the games they have brought over so far:
- Guns’n'Glory BlackBerry PlayBook – $3.99
- Aporkalypse – Pigs of Doom – $2.99
- Tattoo Tycoon BlackBerry PlayBook – $1.99
- infeCCt BlackBerry PlayBook – $1.99
- Townsmen 6 BlackBerry PlayBook – $1.99
- Cyberlords – Arcology BlackBerry PlayBook – $1.99
These are all official ports and they link to them on their official website where you can find more details and demos. I am hoping that they will follow up these releases with free ad supported versions like they do on Android and their previous BlackBerry smartphone games.

Those ports are a joke and they no better than some of the Flash games. Stay away from Android apps. who knows maybe they are all malware.

Have you tried them? Why would they be malware?

If it made it through App World, it won’t have malware.

Great – want to see lots more official ports and hopefully as the Playbook gains traction, maybe some native apps!

As eager as I am for ported Games/Apps, I think the price point for a few of these games is a little high. I didn’t even buy them on the Android platform when I had a droid that I beta tested on. They look cheap(ish).
