Do you have the speed and reflexes needed to play Switch for the BlackBerry PlayBook?

Posted by James Richardson on 27 Dec 2012 11:24 am
New for the BlackBerry PlayBook this week is Switch which sees you guide a spacecraft along four lanes -- but of course it isn't quite that simple. Along the lanes are energy beams that you need to avoid as they will wreck your craft. Switching between lanes is controlled by simply touching either the right or left side of the PlayBook screen. Once you have the hang of the game you can speed...

Love BMX or skateboarding? Check out the Extreme sports app for BlackBerry smartphones

Posted by James Richardson on 26 Dec 2012 4:13 pm
If you are into your extreme sports you are going to love this application. Currently the Extreme app only covers skating and BMX but there is a section within the app where you can vote for which other sports you would like the application to include. This clearly means there are updates to come in the future. So by selecting either the BMX or Skating tabs you will be able to view photos...

Get some free motorbike action with Racing Moto for the BlackBerry PlayBook

Posted by James Richardson on 26 Dec 2012 9:51 am
Although Racing Moto is new to the BlackBerry PlayBook, I am quite used to playing it as it is an Android port. I already have it installed on my Android phone and tablet and it's one of those games that is always fun to go back to playing when you have a few minutes to kill. You control a motorbike (no surprise) and your job is to dodge the other traffic on the road. You can press the...

Carnage and mahem with Monster Shooter: The Lost Levels for the BlackBerry PlayBook

Posted by James Richardson on 13 Dec 2012 10:52 am
If you are going to spend $2.99 on a game for the BlackBerry PlayBook you can't do better than to shell out your cash on Monster Shooter: The Lost Levels. It isn't very often that I come across a PlayBook game that sucks me in for a few hours the first time but this one did - it rocks. To sum up the game in a couple of words I would say it is 'organised carnage' - which is a good thing. The...

Munch the corn with Hungry Birds for BlackBerry smartphones - and it's free

Posted by James Richardson on 5 Dec 2012 1:11 pm
If you like a Pac-Man style of game then Hungry Birds will get your juices flowing (maybe) and best of all it is a free download from BlackBerry App World. The aim of the game is to guide your bird around the maze collecting what I can only presume is seed of some kind. The bad news is that there are evil creatures who will kill you if you bump into them. On each level you will find a few...

It was yet another finalist in the JamHack Asia competition which CrackBerry was happy to help judge. Though the mechanics are basically identical to Battleship, Realm of Elysium shines with rich, beautifully textured graphics. During set-up, players place collections of runes representing...
