If you like puzzle style games on your BlackBerry then Circuit will have your brain working overtime. I must admit, I'm useless at puzzles and I can't even get past level 5 but with this type of game being so popular with millions of BlackBerry users my failure should inspire you to beat me! So the way that Circuit works is that you are given a number of triangles on-screen each with...
Pop as many circles as you can in five seconds or less!
The original game of Sparkle was released back in 2007 and saw huge success on other platforms. Sparkle 2 was rolled out for iOS recently and now the developers have gone all the way and released it for Symbian, Windows 8, webOS and BlackBerry 10 - and what a beauty it is. We've seen our fair share of bubble/orb popping games on BlackBerry 10 but this one really stands out from the...
Dart Wheel for BlackBerry 10 is a real simple game, yet somewhat very satisfying. The basic concept is that you have either a skinny or a not so skinny guy on a wheel that spins around. He is surrounded by targets and you must throw darts at them without hitting the man. The best bit though is that the game is free so go and give it a go. To start with the wheel spins pretty slow so...
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...
Do like puzzle games? If so, LookeBox is a must try game for you. Luckily there is a free version which will give you a good taster of what the game is all about. 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...
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...
I do like a good old Ninja game and luckily Shuriken Ninja War comes with a free version which will allow you to test out the first three levels before deciding whether to purchase the full version at $1.99/£1.50. If you like super fast action games then this one's a right beauty for your BlackBerry Z10. The idea of the game is very straight forward. Your village will be attacked by...
Union have brought yet another fine game over to BlackBerry 10 - this time in the form of Roboto. The game is split over 30 action packed levels where you must guide Roboto and his hoverboard over jumps, battle bad guys defy gravity. On-Screen controls are a piece of cake. You have left and right tabs on the bottom left of the screen and over on the right is your fire button as well as...
With Chess and Checkers being around for thousands of years it only makes sense that we get a decent version for BlackBerry 10 - however, Mine Bass: Chess and Checkers comes with a bit of a twist. It's not only great to have the two games available in one title but where it gets explosive is that you have to place mines on the board which will destroy whoever lands on them. You have a...
Want to know what games we think are super amazingly awesome?
Whether you are fan of football (soccer) or not, Penalty World Cup is a great BlackBerry 10 game which offers you more than just kicking the ball at the goal. There are two different styles of game - Friendly, where you just have a battle with an opponent in a five shooter and then Championship Mode where you are up against 16 other teams, so if you are good enough you can get to the...
The Logo Game has been a big hit on other platforms and now we have it available for BlackBerry 10 it's not only awesome but free to download. Much like the name suggests the game is focused around guessing the name of brand logos. Each level comprises of three pages of logos. Just click the one you want to guess and enter the name of the brand. The quicker you do it the more points...
When you talk multiplayer gaming on BlackBerry 10, you have to think of Texas Hold'em King. Poker is one of the original multiplayer games and THK has been around BlackBerry forever. It is available on legacy devices and has recently been made available on the BlackBerry Z10 and Q10 as well. I used to be a big poker player way back when and I've recently fallen back into my addiction...
We do plenty of game posts here at CrackBerry, but what we never really get into is just how addicting some of our favorite BlackBerry 10 games are. Along the lines of our Talk Mobile discussion on the dark side of mobile gaming, we've decided to check out some of the most addicting BlackBerry 10 games available. Sure there are some that you can play as you want and put down without a...
If you are looking for a fast paced, action shoot 'em up you really need to check out Air Attack HD for BlackBerry 10. The game, which is brought to us by Union, is of the classic airplane upwards scrolling style which goes way back to the days of the likes of the Spectrum 48K and Commodore 64. Clearly things have improved dramatically since the 'good old days' and Air Attack offers...
With our first Talk Mobile discussions surrounding mobile gaming and whether or not it can kill off the console, I began feeling a little nostalgic for some of the old console games I used to play as a kid. Being born in 1981, the first console I really remember sitting down and playing was the Nintendo Entertainment System. Man, I begged my parents so much for that thing, and...
It's not secret that gaming on BlackBerry hasn't been the greatest. For years we were limited to games like Brick Breaker and Tetris as the older BlackBerry devices weren't intended for gaming. There was a decent selection of mediocre games, but nothing that could be considered "great" by anyones standards. With the arrival of the BlackBerry PlayBook however, that began to change. We...
Propel Man for BlackBerry 10 is a super game which delivers a bunch of fun as well as fantastic graphics and game play. The idea of the game is quite simple - just use the catapult to get Propel Man across the finishing line and ensure he opens his parachute prior to landing. Sounds easy doesn't it? It isn't! Once starting the game for the first time you will be given on-screen...
Go Bananas is another one of those games which is a perfect time killer for on a train or bus. The concept is real simple - you control a slingshot and must fire rocks at the bananas that are scrolling along the top of the tree canopy. Of course - things get spiced up a bit as among the bananas are coconuts. Hit one of these and you lose a life. Hit three and it's game over I'm afraid...
We made the announcement recently that Angry Birds Space was now available for BlackBerry 10 and with it costing $0.99/£0.75 I thought it was worth giving you a hands on video if you are in two minds whether to part with your cash or not. The answer is simple - yes you should. The game is awesome and well worthy of its price tag. If you are a BlackBerry PlayBook owner then I'm sure you...
Our own weekend coder Brian Scheirer let us know that his four pictures one word game Visual Connection is now designated as a Built for BlackBerry application. For those of you still on legacy devices, the latest version in BlackBerry World is now compatible with the BlackBerry Bold 99xx running OS 7 and higher with support for the 9810 coming soon. This version retains all of the...
If you're an Angry Birds fan you'll be happy to know that you can now get your zero-gravity on with your Z10 and Q10. Angry Birds Space is now available for BlackBerry 10 devices and features all of the Angry Bird-ish goodness you've come to know and love. Now you can head into space to take on the evil space pigs in over 170 levels with plenty of free updates to come. The new version...
Ahead of the Ottawa International Game Conference, I got some time to talk with Anders Jeppsson, the global head of gaming at BlackBerry. Between GDC and BlackBerry Live over the last couple of months, we’ve been in pretty regular contact, but there was still a fair bit to talk about. He’s recently completed his move from Sweden to Canada, so we touched on the differences in developer...
We first took a look at Death Worm when it became available for the BlackBerry PlayBook. I was rather excited to see it crop up in BlackBerry World for BB10 and as I loved the PlayBook version I just had to have it on my Z10. Q10 owners can also pick this one up although it will be a much better gaming experience on the larger Z10 display. The aim of the game is quite simple. You...
