EA Games had a great time showing off a live demo of an upcoming game called Need For Speed Shift. (or Tilt I forget… ) The game looks awesome on the Storm2 using OS 5.0 and seems to be pushing some serious graphics. They were quoting stats with thousands of polygons and frame rates [...]

Tafasa let us know about their recent release of Dots for the Storm. This new game kind of reminds me of Netwalk from BEIKS with an interesting twist. The purpose of the game is to connect the dots until you complete a box which earns you a point and an extra turn. The game [...]

After I played a similar game on my friends HTC Touch I was impressed. Labyrinth is a digital clone of the classic wooden marble game I used to love as a kid. You need to guide the poor little marble past obstacles to its end goal. With the Storm’s accelerometer this game is really [...]

Whac-A-Mole has a special place in my heart. I reference the classic game about once a week to describe something that will relentlessly keep on coming back. I used to play Whac-A-Mole all the time when I was a kid so I just had to mention it when ToySoft released this game. The game [...]

With Pacman coming back for free thanks to Benny Chow I have been growing a bit nostalgic. Back in the day games were simpler and quite a bit more addictive. I remember wasting hours playing space invaders back in the day and it looks like Taito is planning on porting the official game to [...]

WAYYY back in 2007 we told you that Benny Chow released a slick free Pacman game for BlackBerrys. Sadly over the years it stopped working in full screen on newer devices due to recent OS improvements. Fast forward to 2009 where cslaten spotted an update by Benny Chow that brings full screen compatibility for [...]

Reversi really brings back memories. I used to play it back in the day on Windows 3.11 when I was really bored. Tafasa let me know that they have released Reversi for the BlackBerry Storm. It is a classic strategy game that is easy to pick up but hard to win.
The game is on [...]

Tashanna let me know about this app Lovetris from HeroSoft. I don’t even know where to start with this app. It is a love story mixed in with a tetris game. I am not sure where the hell the idea came for such an app but it definitely is intriguing. I am not sure [...]

Concrete Software just released Fashion Mogul for BlackBerry. I thought it was worth mentioning since this is the first BlackBerry game I have seen that seems specifically targeted at women (as far as I can remember). The game might not have fancy graphics or anything but it was definitely playable. The main downside is [...]
