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 [...]
Derik let me know that he got an email from Y! Fan that they are releasing their BlackBerry app soon. It looks like the app is now available in the App World and will give you mobile access to your Yahoo! Fantasy Sports account. They are going to support OS 4.2.1+ devices so it [...]
Hangman really brings back memories… Tafasa let me know about a new game they have released based on the classic Hangman game. It has one player and two player modes where you can either play one of almost 3000 word puzzles or enter in a word for a friend to guess. You can also research [...]
Larry let me know about this new free game from Backroom Software for the Storm. The game is essentially a minesweeper clone so if you have used a Windows PC in the last 15 years you know what that is. The only catch for the free download is that you need to [...]
Normally I would not mention such an app but after getting 5 different tips about it and spotting it on the store best seller list I changed my mind. Looks like BlackBerry users like sexy dice… The app used to only be available for the Storm but now it is also available [...]
Personally I am a bigger fan of a screensaver along the lines of “forget the dog, beware of owner” but this free app from Fabian does the trick. bWatchDoggy lets you set your BlackBerry to bark if somebody picks it up after it idles for 3 seconds. This could get really annoying if it is [...]
Our buddies over at BBSync spotted this entertaining application that pretends to scan your fingerprint on your BlackBerry Storm. I know that OS 5.0 is going to finally bring the possibility of biometrics but this should tide you over until then.
The app only makes you phone look like it is [...]
Most of my favorite BlackBerry games are not action games. I find my BlackBerry use lends itself to slower paced puzzle games that I can pause at any time. For example, Chuzzle and Bookworm are nice and simple games that you can pause during meetings…
Our buddies over at BlackBerryCool spotted a new [...]
I have to admit that I am a bit of a Law & Order nut. I have been slowly watching all of the seasons with my wife and I just cannot get enough. (Though the last two seasons are not as good in court) Concrete Software let me know that they have carried the TV [...]
This little hack has been around for awhile but now you can do it from your BlackBerry. It involves simply telnet-ing to a HP LaserJet printers IP address on port 9100 and sending a specific command. That way you can get the printers LCD screen to show whatever text you want. This [...]
A bit back I heard that Fabian released this application called BerryWhip (Now called Whippoh). It simulates a whip with your BlackBerry by just performing a whipping move with your BlackBerry in hand. I guess this could be fun at work and at a bar but it kind of reminds me of the useless [...]
Dan sent in a link to a new free game from CrucialSoft called RHex. The best way I can describe this game is kind of like a mix between Tetris and Dr Mario. If you have a better description let me know in the comments. The game is available for the Storm, Bold, & 8900 [...]
Kevin was raving about this Air Traffic Control game for the Storm so I decided to check it out yesterday. The game is quite fun and very similar to the iPhone game that is quite popular. The only downside is that the iPhone game is dirt cheap while the Storm version is $4.99 on [...]
I have run into this situation quite a few times and I am not even a parent. One of my cousins will find my cool looking BlackBerry sitting on a coffee table and want to play with it. I can see why not everybody would try to encourage such behavior but I believe BlackBerry [...]
ToySoft let me know they just released SeaBattle 1945 which is a Battleship-like game for your BlackBerry. I was hoping it would be online multiplayer enabled but I dream big… The game is relatively cheap at $2.95 which is a perk in its favor but I would have loved to at least see two player [...]
The popular & free tetris game BBTetris has been updated and renamed to BlockBerry. I am not sure what warranted the name change but with “Berry” in its name RIM will never allow it in the App World. RIM recently forced ShortcutBerry to change its name to ShortcutMe to be eligible to be in the [...]
DavidB let me know that Tafasa has released another free game for the Storm. I know there are quite a few new Storm users looking for some good games so this is definitely worth a shot. The game is free so I guess there is not much to complain about but let me know [...]
Concrete Software just released Sid Meier’s Railroad Tycoon for the BlackBerry. I have been a fan of Sid Meier’s games since the first Civilization game on the PC so I will definitely be checking this one out. The game is a bit pricey at $9.99 but it looks like there is a free demo. The [...]
DavidB let me know about a new free game released by Tafasa. Its does not have any stunning graphics but it lets you control the plane via the built in accelerometer in the Storm which is pretty slick. You just need to guide the plane into the gradually shrinking rings to get to the [...]
Seville over at sm0g.com sent me in one of his latest themes called ‘Revive’. This one is available for a wide selection of devices including the; 83xx, 87xx ,88xx, 89xx, 9xxx & 95xx. I did play around with the Bold version and and it’s a fairly basic theme in the way it functions. In the [...]
