Labyrinth 2 - Now available for the BlackBerry Torch and Storm

Labyrinth 2 has finally been released for BlackBerry Torch and Storm owners. The follow up to the original Labyrinth game now has some new features added to it and comes in both paid and free versions. Some of the recent additions to the game include:

  • Levels for beginners;
  • Over 80 new levels (quiz, maze, speed levels);
  • New elements: buttons, lasers, gates and magnets;
  • New game effects. 

Having been a fan of the original game, the new version was a nice surprise. Playing it on the BlackBerry Torch, just feels right given the nature of the game and the new additions overall add a new twist to an old favourite. You can try either the free or paid ($4.99) versions on your Torch or Storm.

durak

Durak is a popular card game, originating in the Soviet states, that pits player vs player in an attack/defense style card-shedding game. The last player to get rid of all his cards, is the "durak" or fool. BerryBlow has brought this game to the BlackBerry platform, and done it well, with great graphics and addictive play. With the ability to play a game with anywhere from 2 to 4 players, and 3 levels of AI difficulty, it will be a long time before you get bored playing. The rules of the game is simple yet challenging and thankfully included in the app for those not familiar with the game. Well put together and a great way to kill some time whenever the need arises, the app is also on sale right now in the CrackBerry App Store for $2.99 until July 31st. After that, it's only $4.99 - still a good price for an app that will keep you occupied for a good while.
