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...
We first took a look at Big Mountain Snowboarding some time ago when it was released for the PlayBook. Now though it is available for BlackBerry 10 so you can keep it in your pocket for those times you have a few minutes to crank out some gaming action. The idea of the game is to get to the bottom of the slope but while doing so you must pass through a certain amount of flags and bust...
One of my favorite games for BlackBerry 10 - Jump Birdy Jump - now has as new lite (free) version in BlackBerry World. This is the perfect way for you to test out the game before committing to the £1.50/$1.99 that the full version will cost you. The concept of Jump Birdy Jump is to get your bird through a selection of obstacles to your sweetheart. Along the way you must collect stars....
I was surprised to see Mini Squadron show up for the BlackBerry Q10 before the Z10, but with the more traditional BlackBerry possibly being the better selling of the two devices this year I suppose it makes sense. *Update - Z10 support is now available* Anyway, it's an awesome air battle game. You control your plane (of which there are over 50 to unlock) using an on-screen joypad on...
I've been pretty keen on playing pool on my smartphones over the years and there has been some decent and many not so good ones available. I recently found Pool Two Player in BlackBerry World and as the name suggests the game is designed for you and a friend to play together. Now, I'm not talking about two devices being connected - with this game you can just use the one BlackBerry 10...
