N.O.V.A 3 review for the BlackBerry Z10: It's about to get messy

Posted by Zach Gilbert on 7 Apr 2013 11:06 am
Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance, try and say that three times fast, it’s almost a tongue twister. Well at least Gameloft was nice enough to shorten it down to N.O.V.A in their latest title on the BlackBerry Z10, Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance 3 or N.O.V.A 3 for short. N.O.V.A 3 is a first person shooter that takes you to a time in the future to when the people of earth are no longer fighting their...

Fancy some free puzzle action? Check out Trid for BlackBerry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 6 Apr 2013 4:05 pm
I'll be honest with you and say that I'm not the world's biggest fan of puzzle style games. However, Trid for BlackBerry 10 caught my eye in BlackBerry World and as it was free to download I thought I would give it a shot. Turns out the game is pretty darn sweet. The idea of Trid is to mimic the small square tiles on a larger board. It's kind of hard to describe so if you get the...

We go hands on with Bejeweled 2 for BlackBerry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 6 Apr 2013 10:12 am
We told you a short while ago that Bejeweled 2 had become available for BlackBerry 10 - so I though that for those of you that were a bit reluctant to part with three bucks we had better give you a video demonstration to tempt you. As you will see the game runs beautifully on the BlackBerry Z10. The colors are almost bursting out of the screen and we get some funky background music and sound...

Test your film knowledge with The Movie Quiz Game for BlackBerry 10

Posted by Alicia Erlich on 5 Apr 2013 9:27 am
When it comes to movies and television my mind is a receptacle for all sorts of information that has no bearing in the real world. That being said, discovering The Movie Quiz Game by XLabz Technologies was right up my alley. It is a simple yet enjoyable game that presents users with morphed movie posters from hundreds of popular films. It’s your job to remember and enter in the corresponding...

This one's a beauty - Flight Control Rocket for BlackBerry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 4 Apr 2013 3:59 pm
Flight control games are certainly nothing new. I've played dozens over the years on other platforms and normally there are only one or two decent ones. Us cool dudes with a BlackBerry 10 device now have a superb version which has been Built For BlackBerry - Flight Control Rocket. The game sports beautiful bright colors/graphics and some sweet sounds make the game more enjoyable. It's...

Enhance your thumb reflexes with Thumbs Madness for BlackBerry 10

Posted by DJ Reyes on 3 Apr 2013 9:42 am
There isn't a shortage of fun little games in BlackBerry World and while I'm not a big gamer on my BlackBerry device, with the nice big screen on the BlackBerry Z10, it makes gaming quite a pleasure. I'll pick up a few big name games but most of the time I like to check out ones from local developers I get to know. One game I'm playing quite a bit is Thumbs Madness, a nice little game to...

Recreate those nonsensical MadLib stories of your childhood with Fun-E Lib for BlackBerry 10

Posted by Alicia Erlich on 2 Apr 2013 1:37 pm
If there is one childhood game we all remember it is Mad Libs. That classic word replacement craze was an afterschool activity my friends and I shared and giggled over for hours. For those wanting to relive those days or just pass the time there is Fun-E Lib by mgdotnet. The popular theme developer offers his own witty take on on the game that is entertaining and enjoyable for people of all...

Bejeweled 2 hits BlackBerry World for Blackberry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 2 Apr 2013 11:09 am
Here's a cracker for all you Bejeweled fans out there - Bejeweled 2 is now available to download to your Blackberry 10 smartphone - although as I write this the game is not showing up in all regions. The original version has been a huge hit and I'm sure number 2 will be just as popular. Priced at £2.00/$2.99 the game will offer hours off fun and I'm sure the price point will be well worth it....

Creating games for BlackBerry 10 with Visual Studio

Posted by Simon Sage on 2 Apr 2013 10:23 am
Our final little tidbit from GDC 2013 last week was another session with BlackBerry's Sean Paul Taylor on developing games on BlackBerry 10. After walking us through how Unity works for BB10, Taylor showed us the Visual Studio plug-in that recently saw its gold 1.0 release. The BlackBerry 10 NDK ties in tightly enough with Visual Studio that developers don't need to worry about booting up...

BlackBerry at GDC 2013

Posted by Simon Sage on 1 Apr 2013 4:26 pm
BlackBerry's primary goal at GDC 2013 was to show off the Unity engine running on BB10 and remind devs about the platform's full Bluetooth hardware controller support. The stock Unity demo game, Angry Robots, ran on the Z10 especially well, and I think will really highlight how well it can handle games. By comparison, the Qualcomm benchmark app I saw on the HTC One at GDC wasn't hitting...
