Review: Guitar Hero Mobile by Magmic/BplayRating: 9/10Cost: $14.99 (1 time fee) or $4.49/month subscriptionWebsite: www.bplay.com
Bplay has done a wonderful job of recreating the Guitar Hero experience on the BlackBerry. I was forced to dock a whole point off the rating for one simple reason. The controls are a bit clumsy on the curve or 8800 series. On [...]

Okay this has to be some of the best news I have heard all day even with CTIA kicking off. Bplay is now selling Guitar Hero for a one time purchase price of $14.99. The initial game comes with 15 tracks. With the one-time purchase, you will have access to an additional three tracks issued [...]

Magmic has come through on their release schedule by putting out two new games today. The best part is that they have managed to get a 24 hour trial for Big Kahuna Words. This is a big step for Bplay since many previous games did not have trials. Hopefully this will pan out for more [...]

Bplay has released an interesting new line of themes relating to your Zodiac symbol. While the Zodiac is not generally my cup of tea I thought it was interesting to see Bplay stretch beyond the Icon, Today, and Zen categorization of their themes. The have added a new specialty category for these Zodiac themes with [...]

Magmic released two new interesting games over the weekend. One of them,  Leisure Suit Larry, is an old time classic. I cant wait to try both out. Both are pretty cool looking role playing games. I guess Magmic & bPlay are really trying to define the BlackBerry as a viable role playing platform. Sadly due [...]

Magmic came through on their promise to release 2 games every 2 weeks on Thursdays. This Thursday brings a Bruce Lee: Iron Fist and Shock Blocks to the BlackBerry. Bruce Lee has to be the first fighting game I have ever seen for the BlackBerry so you can bet that we will review it. Shock [...]

First of all I think it is stupid of RIM to still not allow you to access the Owners Lounge from your BlackBerry. With that said Hayden got the skinny on another free Magmic game, Pub Checkers, in the BlackBerry Owners Lounge. This is just the plain old Checkers game you grew up with.
Once again you need [...]

One of our contacts at Magmic just let me know about a survey they have just completed of BlackBerry/Smartphone gamers. These are the results of the survey we mentioned in the end of January. In the survey Magmic tried to identify behavior and usage trends in smartphone/blackberry entertainment.
What they found was actually quite interesting. I copied the highlights below:

It’s been there for a few days now but I completely forgot about it. The Magmic game Disco Bowling is now available for free in the BlackBerry Owners Lounge. Personally I think RIM could have done a much better job with the Owners Lounge but I guess we have to live with what we get.

The [...]

Magmic has just released 2 new games for BlackBerry and they look hot! The first is called Star Wars Battle Above the Coruscant. The second is just plainly called Caesar. Both games clock in at $9.99 from Bplay.com and both sadly lack trials. Stay tuned for some reviews if you are hesitant. Luc and [...]
