The old classic, R-Type, has been available on BlackBerry 10 since August 2013, but came with a price tag. For today only the game is Amazon's 'free app of the day' so if you didn't fancy buying the game initially from BlackBerry World, you now have a nice free alternative. I've given the Amazon download a quick test drive on my Z30 and it seems to run perfectly, although I'm not...
Growing up, I was addicted video games. Whether it be having a gaming console at home or going to one of the local arcades for some 8-bit fun I played them all. Back then they may have lacked 3D graphics but they provided hours of entertainment. Space Arcade harkens back to those simper times with its retro space shooting concept. Similar to Asteroids, your goal is to manipulate the...
If you are rather partial to playing puzzle games on your BlackBerry 10 smartphone this one's little gem. Circle The Dot is another Android game and you can grab this one for free from the Amazon Appstore. The concept of the game is to prevent the blue dot from reaching the edge of the grid. You do this by tapping the grid to insert orange dots. Sounds simple doesn't it? It most...

Hot off the press - the latest offering from Rovio is now in BlackBerry World so you Angry Birds addicts can enjoy the new saga, this time with Stella. I've not had the chance to play it as of yet so watch out for our review in the coming days. I think it's safe to say this one will be kick-ass though! What's also rather impressive is that we've received the BlackBerry 10 edition the...
Just a quick heads up for you folk that like to game on your BlackBerry 10 smartphones. Here in the UK, Amazon are offering up Down The Hatch as today's 'free app of the day'. Clearly, this may not be the case in your region, but it's worth checking as this ones pretty awesome. I only spent five minutes playing the game before deciding it was well worth sharing with the CrackBerry...
I realize that Amazon's free app of the day varies regionally and here in the UK I'm lucky enough to have picked this one up today for free, but I thought it was well worth sharing as it's pretty darn awesome. I suspect there's won't be many BlackBerry 10 users that are not familiar with Brick Breaker - after all, we had it pre-loaded on legacy BlackBerry devices for years. Shards...

Here's just a quick heads up that today's free UK app of the day from the Amazon Appstore is quite a beauty and in my opinion well worth checking out. Bridge Construction Medieval can be downloaded for today only at no cost and the game looks to provide hours of fun for all ages. As the name suggests, this one is all about building bridges either to help you deliver supplies to your...

Fish Out Of Water is another Android game that I recently discovered works perfectly well on BlackBerry 10. I downloaded this one for free from the Amazon Appstore and if you don't yet have that on your device be sure to hit up the link at the base of this post for instructions. From the same developers that created Jetpack Joyride and Fruit Ninja, Fish Out Of Water brings us some...
I like games that I can just pick up and play. Sometimes I'll go for games that I can get myself immersed into or I'll go for a good puzzle game but for the most part, gaming on my BlackBerry device means something fun to play while travelling or when I want to kill some time. While browsing BlackBerry World I spotted Jelly Cats and since I love cats I thought I'd give it a download and...
Some of the best types of games are the ones that you easily pick up, put down and pick up again. BlackBerry World is just ripe with games that fit this concept, not all are addictive enough, yet alone difficult, to take advantage of this idea. If you're looking for a new game to challenge yourself with then take a look at Grid. This recently released game is played with cards and grids...
Have you had your eye on some of the Disney games in BlackBerry World but weren't really sure if you wanted to lay down the cash for them? If so, you'll want to check out the Sunny Days Giveaway in BlackBerry World. For a limited time, Disney is giving away four games in total and the lineup includes Temple Run: Brave, Temple Run: Oz, Where's My Mickey and Toy Story: Smash It!...
I can't say I was ever into Hot Wheels myself - maybe I'm too old and missed it as a kid, but when I saw Hot Wheels - Track Builder in the Amazon Appstore I had to check it out on my BlackBerry Z30. And I'm glad I did, as it's pretty darn sweet - and free. As the name suggest, the game allows to you build your own custom tracks and this part is pretty clever, although I didn't really...

Swamp Attack is yet another great game that you won't find in BlackBerry World I'm afraid. At the time of writing this I found it in the Snap store which currently is a bit more tricky to load onto your BlackBerry 10 device than the Amazon Appstore, but once you know how you'll have a ton of apps and games at your fingertips. Full instructions will be in the link at the base of the post...
I managed to get slightly confused when shooting the above video. For some reason I thought I'd downloaded the game from BlackBerry World - turns out I didn't. There are actually a couple of versions of Piano Tiles in BlackBerry World which are paid, but if you head on over to the Amazon Appstore you can grab it for free. To be honest, there's quite a few different versions for Android...
Just a quick heads up for you on todays free offering from the Amazon Appstore. Galazer Deluxe can be downloaded for BlackBerry 10 (here in the UK anyway) and after playing it for just a few minutes I can say it's a beauty. It's a similar concept to Space Invaders but with a modern twist. The spacecraft that you need to shoot down will fly around the screen and only become static as...
Here's a little beauty for you rock fans out there. If you have Snap installed on your BlackBerry 10 device I'd urge you to fire it up and download Rock Hero, which won't cost you a cent. It's much the same concept as the old classic 'Guitar Hero' and it does a fantastic job. Similar to Guitar Hero you have three colored tabs at the base of the display and your job is to tap them as...
Not too long ago, BlackBerry World was invaded by an odd little alien named Agu. Initial reports cannot confirm whether this extraterrestrial being is hostile or not; but they do indicate that he has an extremely poor diet. Sure we've seen plenty of side scrolling runner/flyer games on our BlackBerry 10 smartphones but few are as odd as Agu's Adventure. This game is available on...

Those nice folk at Amazon have once again given us a quality game that can be downloaded to your BlackBerry 10 device today for free. Although we have our fair share of decent native BB10 tennis games, Flick Tennis Pro is pretty darn good and there sure is nothing wrong with a bit of variety. I'll be honest and say that at the time of writing this I have only played two matches but I...
Unfortunately, when it comes to puzzle games I'm nine times out of ten totally and utterly useless. And nothing has changed this time around, but I do recognize a good game when I see one. I've just not got the patience for puzzles. Give me a shoot 'em up any day of the week. Cubik 2D is an Android port, but available in BlackBerry World for all-touch BlackBerry 10 handsets - sorry Q...
