"More challenging than it looks. Simple graphics but still fun and entertaining." 

Cocky Culture is no stranger to the CrackBerry blogs. Best known for their visually enticing themes for BlackBerry smartphones, Cocky Culture has recently released their first BlackBerry PlayBook game, Love Birds.

In Cocky Culture’s first BlackBerry smartphone game, Devilish, we helped Dante escape the 9 levels of Hell. Love Birds is the complete opposite. This game is all about reuniting Dovey with his crush, Lovey. You can fling Dovey around the screen collecting various things to free Lovey from her cage. Whatever you do, don’t keep Lovey waiting too long, and for goodness sake, DO NOT break any of her fine glasses or her favorite wine bottles! Read the full review after the break!

After a long hiatus, Cocky Culture has just burst back into the BlackBerry theme scene in a big way. Their new theme Vintage is one of a kind, and a refreshing take on maximizing your home screen space. This one isn't for you wallpaper junkies, but if you crave a fresh look and a funky feel, keep reading.

Once you install Vintage on your BlackBerry, the first thing you'll see is the bold use of text on your home screen. This isn't your typical static wallpaper; every element you see is a functioning icon. That square-face dude in the middle? He's your battery meter. The little shapes at the bottom of the screen are your signal meter. The clock sits at the left of the screen in a slide out dock that holds information about your carrier and the date. There is even a 4 icon dock thrown in that you can customize with the first 4 icons from your app screen. The icons Cocky Culture used are fun and colorful, and look great against an antiqued background. I especially love the color combination used throughout this theme. The reddish pink and light blue are a combo you really don't see used anywhere else, and I really think it fits well.

Vintage is a hot theme, and one you will quickly fall in love with if you enjoy walking a bit outside of normal. You can pick this up on sale for $2.99 (regularly $4.99) for BlackBerry 8330/50i, 85xx, 89xx, 93xx, 95xx, 9630/50, 97xx, and 9800.

Devilish is a cool little game for BlackBerry, just released by Cocky Culture. It is also their first attempt at game development and they did a great job. In the game you need to help Dante escape through the 9 levels of hell. You will need to guide him up and away from the lava below from platform to platform. On your way up you need to avoid obstacles like flaming arrows, spiked platforms and the Cerberus. You will also need to grab power ups, lives and items that will increase your score.

Overall, Devilish is a very good game and a great time waster. You can pick it up at the CrackBerry App Store for $1.99. It is compatible with the 9800 and 95xx BlackBerry devices.

Contest: We have 25 copies of Devilish to give away. Just leave a comment on this post to enter. Contest ends this Sunday at midnight PST. Please only leave one comment, multiple entries wont count.

Cyborg is a very nice theme from Cocky Culture that was recently updated to support non-touchscreen devices. The theme features custom icons, homescreen layout, and really brings a unique look to your BlackBerry smartphone. My favorite customization in the theme is the actual cyborg head. The mouth moves as you scan through your icons, and the eyes dim and fade as your battery drains. Overall its a really cool, completely custom theme that is sure to make your BlackBerry stand out.

You can pick up Cyborg on sale at the CrackBerry App Store for $1.99. It is available for the 8500, 8900, 9100, 9300, 9500, 9600 and 9700 series devices.

Contest: We have 50 copies of Cyborg to give away. Just leave a comment on this post to enter. Contest ends this Sunday at Midnight PST. Please only leave one comment, multiple entries wont count.
