Can you collect the treasure with Undersea Adventure for BlackBerry 10

Undersea Adventure is a real beauty of a BlackBerry 10 game and if you ask me and the best news is that you can play the first nine levels for free before deciding whether to purchase the paid version - perfect! In the game you control a small submarine which when launched from the 'mother ship' must float down to the sea bed to unlock a chest of treasure. But the chest needs a key which...

Apple’s iOS7 is a clear reminder that BlackBerry must keep moving.

Apple’s iOS7 is a clear reminder that BlackBerry must keep moving.

When I watched the unveiling of iOS7 in yesterday’s live stream of Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference I couldn’t help but notice that some of the new gestures seemed to be strikingly similar to those in BlackBerry 10. It’s easy to make a case that Apple’s latest mobile OS heavily borrows from the best of BlackBerry.  But none of that matters. The average iPhone customer doesn’t read...

How Do You BB10: Do you use NFC file sharing?

How Do You BB10: Do you use NFC file sharing?

Everyone uses their BlackBerry 10 device differently. There are just so many features that no one is bound to use all of them. Some users may use certain features while others don't, and that's the case with any device really. Bluetooth, Wifi, NFC and even apps - it all varies user by user. That's why we're starting up a new series called How Do You BB10?. In the series we'll look to find out...

theScore for BlackBerry 10 adds push alerts and social sharing options

One of my big gripes with theScore for BlackBerry 10 was the lack of push alerts for my teams. On previous devices, I loved getting game alerts for news, scores and players. On BlackBerry 10 that wasn't an option however which totally sucked. Thankfully theScore has been updated today to include push alerts and additional social options.  While I haven't tested the alerts just yet (I'm waiting...

Apple swipes a thing or two from BlackBerry

Apple swipes a thing or two from BlackBerry

Apple today in its WWDC keynote address unveiled its most magical, its most revolutionary -- and its most thieving version of iOS yet. It's a pretty big overhaul that includes a new look, new icons and some familiar new features. And we couldn't help but notice just how similar some of those features are to what we've already seen on current BlackBerry devices. Over the years we have seen...

I must admit that I'm not very good when it comes to puzzle games but that's just due to me being impatient. However, this game sucked me in and although it can be frustrating at first - once you get the hang of things it's a real...

The first thing you'll notice is that the Verizon BlackBerry Q10 box is a simple black all around - no purple Q10 logo like we've seen on devices...

When it comes to third party Twitter applications for BlackBerry 10 there aren't many to choose from. The latest to gain my interest is Willow which certainly has more to offer than the native client that comes pre-loaded on our BlackBerry 10 devices. Luckily Willow supports both the Z10 and Q10 so everyone can enjoy it. One thing I really love about Willow is its Active Frame - it shows...

Devil's Attorney updated, now optimised for the Q10

Devil's Attorney updated, now optimised for the Q10

One of my favorite games on BlackBerry 10 is Devil's Attorney. I downloaded it as soon as I saw James' review. However, when I switched over to the Q10 I missed it. While the app restored onto the Q10 during a device transfer, it wasn't quite optimized for the Q10 screen so it wasn't very pleasing to play. I am now happy to report that Devil's Attorney has been updated and is now optimized for...

Candy Bombs comes to BlackBerry 10 - a great little time killer

If you like the Tetris style of game you will love Candy Bombs for BlackBerry 10. Although an Android port you don't really notice it as it runs so beautifully. Where the game is different from Tetris is that instead of different shapes falling down the screen - with Candy Bombs we get two different colored circular bombs. The idea is to get four or more of the same colored bombs in a row...
