Elven Chronicles 2007-06-19 13:41:00 Well first of all I must admit something: I'm a RPG fan. Even more than that, I'm a Final Fantasy fan. And if you're wondering what this has to do with anything and haven't guessed from the pictures already, read on...Elven Chronicles is a role playing game, where you are put in the shoes of a knight called Rogan who has lost his memory and is on a quest to find out who he was. You travel alongside an elf called Jada who is a spellcaster, master of all of the worlds elements: fire, ice, lightning, earth, holy and dark. The quest takes you through forests, cities, icy mountains, caves and dungeonsin search of your forgotten past, battling a variety of monsters.The level up system is automated, each time you achieve a new level spells are automatically given and attributes are raised. Thus the only customization you have as far as how to play your characters is with what items you choose to equip them, for instance weapons can have added elemental damage of a certain type which may h
Starship Troopers: Roughnecks 2007-06-17 07:29:00 If you're a fan of the series you will enjoy this game. If you're not than let me summarize the story for you: evil giant alien bugs want to take over the world and destroy mankind. You are a soldier in the human army and your mission: to go from planet to planet and kill all bugs. Unfortunately that's almost always your mission!There isn't a lot of diversity in the things that you need to do, for example, first mission: kill all bugs with your rifle, second mission: kill all bugs with your rifle and bombs, third mission: kill all bugs with rifle, bombs and flamethrower etc. Well at least it makes up for it with nice graphics. However the controls can be really annoying, for instance to place a bomb you need to select the bomb, go into fire mode, select the direction and then move the hell out of there or the bomb will just blow up in your face. I really don't know why you have to enter "fire mode" to place a bomb, and if you don't do it fast enough you'll have bugs all over you Read more:Starship

The Legend of Spyro 2007-06-16 04:24:00 Another Play Station games mobile counterpart and fortunately it's a very good one. The Legend
of Spyro
: A new beginning is the latest installment of the Spyro series. The game's hero is the little purple dragon named Spyro who's out on a quest to free 4 captured Guardian dragons, each one guarding a specific element: fire, ice, earth and electricity. The guardians were imprisoned by an evil dragoness named Cynder in order to harness their power so that she may open the Dark Master's prison and bring terror throughout the land.Thus our little hero and his dragonfly brother Sparx set out on their adventure. The game features a terrain theme for each of the guardians elements, as well as 3 different types of levels: ground levels played in a platform style, boss levels where Spyro must defeat a mini-boss in order to free a guardian and air levels which represent the transitions between the other 2 types of levels, where Spyro needs to fly from one end to another avoiding obstacles an
Doom RPG 2007-06-15 10:36:00 One of the best 3d games currently available for mobile phone games. If you loved good old Doom on the PC or if you've played Orcs and Elves then you're sure to like this one.Doom RPG is a 3d, first person turn based shooter based on the Doom universe, featuring many of the specific monsters and weapons from that universe. The basic story: you're a marine, some evil alien monsters have invaded and you need to shoot them out of existence. Or if you're a little more suicidal and psychotic like I am, you can always use your trusty hand axe.I'm going to make a lot of comparisons between Doom RPG and Orcs and Elves throughout this review for a few basic reasons: both games use the same 3d engine, both have the same gameplay style and level up system. So just like in Orcs and Elves, upon level up your character automatically gets his stats improved by a seemingly random chosen number of points. However for the sake of customization you are allowed to improve whichever stats you want you
But what phone should I choose ? 2007-06-11 15:00:00 A lot of people might ask themselves this.Now everyone has their own preferences when it comes to what they want their phone
to be able to do, some need a long battery life so they can talk a lot without recharging it, others need a slim easy to carry around device, others need great sound so they can listen to their favourite mp3s and some people, like me, want a device that they can enjoy a lot of different and fun games on.The most important factors when deciding on a phone you want to use for gaming are:screen sizehardware performanceergonomicscompatibilityIn my opinion screen size and hardware performance are two really important factors when it comes to enjoying the game you're playing. First of all I recommend buying a phone with a high resolution, from 128x160 pixels and above, because obviously the bigger the screen the more things you can fit on it and / or the more detailed these things can be drawn.Now this of course goes hand in hand with something that's important in an Read more:choose
Call of Duty 3 2007-06-11 09:30:00 Everybody loves a good war. Well at least that's how it seems these days. So it's time to get your rifle, put on your uniform and army boots and go fight for your country.Call of Duty is a pretty well know franchise when it comes to PC gaming, and these days everytime a PC game comes out, it's immediately followed by a cell phone version. The only things the PC and cell phone version have in common though are the name and the basic gameplay idea. The game takes you through 8 missions in different parts of the world, taking part in military actions as part of an assault team.This game wants really badly to add a more strategic side to the classic platform shooter but doesn't quite cut it. Besides shooting, sniping and the occasional targeting of an artillery strike, you're also supposed to use the terrain to your advantage by taking cover behind sandbags or crates or what not. That would be a really great idea if your health would actually be precious instead of regenerating whenev
Shrek the Third 2007-06-07 15:54:00 Think of it like Mario, only green and on steroids. That's what this games is about after all. You remember how fun Mario was don't you?Well Shrek
can do so much more. He can punch, he can dash, he can jump, he can roll like Sonic, he can throw cannonballs and use them to interact with the environment but most importantly, he can collect faeries! Well that's only important because collecting 100 of them means a extra life for Shrek.And of course as you would expect Shrek is not alone, Donky, Prince Arthur and Puss in Boots is with him, giving advice and making funny remarks throughout the whole game. Also another very important character in the story is Dragon, whom you get to play in the games air levels. The game takes you through 3 different landscape types: the city, the magic forest and the castle, as the story follows that of the movie.The colors are bright, the backgrounds detailed and every level brings something new, the enemies are varied enough not to become boring, howev
Orcs and Elves 2007-06-06 09:17:00 A long time ago a great war took place between two great alliances: the alliance of the dwarven and elven peoples and the alliance of the orcs and Vaettir. During this war two great heroes rose up to meet the evil orcs, an elf named Eol and a dwarf named Bhram. Each of them were gifted with a magical artifact to aid in their struggle, the elf was gifted a magic Wand and the dwarf a magic Hammer. Their friendship lasted long after the war was over and the elves and dwarves had won.The game puts you in the position of a half-elf named Elli, the son of Eol. After your fathers death and after inheriting his magical Wand you are sent to investigate strange messages received from the kingdom of the dwarves.After arriving at the dwarven city you realize that most of the dwarves are dead and the place is full of monsters. Here's where the fun starts! The game features a multitude of levels between which you can roam freely, all in super 3d graphics (as cellphone standards go). If you like 1s Read more:Elves

Bear in mind that this is mostly based on personal preference.I've discussed some of the games in the list and included links to reviews in case you're interested, as for the other games, don't worry they will be discussed in the near future as well.Well without further ado, here's the list:Orcs and Elves3D Rollercoaster RushDoom RPGPGR mobileThe Sims 2 mobileEposRacing Fever GTThe Sims BowlingBurning Tires 3D3D Golden WarriorIf you know some other game that you think should be included in the list and isn't please leave a comment.
Gameplay demo - Strip Club Manager 2007-05-29 12:01:00 Here's a look at what Strip
Club Manager is made of. Too bad it doesn't have sound since that's one of the best assets of the game.
Rollercoaster Rush 3d 2007-05-29 11:37:00 A very addictive little game, a lot of fun too. I can say that I've played it for hours today and hardly even realized that so much time passed by. The goal of the game is simple enough, you only use two keys to control the coaster, one is to accelerate and the other to brake. You need to give the coasters passengers the ride of their lives through the track, while making sure that they keep their lives as well, since a few wrong moves, too much speed or a wrongly calculated angle can lead to the cars of the coaster crashing and your beloved passengers dying (well not really, they fall off the track and open their parachutes).While playing the game your performance is ranked by the amount of thrill you give your passengers, and of course the more are left standing the more points you get since you make more people scream with joy. Each trip you take them on is ranked from 1 to 5 stars according to this, the more stars per total on each track you have the more tracks you can unlock. Th Read more:Rollercoaster

Age of Heroes 2 2007-05-28 04:41:00 Now this is one of my favourite games. It's like Heroes of Might and Magic only for mobile games. A turn based strategy that has a lot to offer.The first thing to note is that just like in HoMM your army is led by a hero who can level up and cast spells during combat. The hero's name is Ortega, he's a famous retired necromancer who is asked for help by a group of gnomes against the evil undead that are beginning to plague the land. Which seems a little odd since necromancers are supposed to make undead armies, not fight against them, but oh well, I guess they chose necromancer because it sounds cool and because of the old saying "fight fire with fire".The game features a map where you can move your hero in order to fight the evil undead armies or in case you spot human troops when you move towards them you can recruit them. There are also dialogue options when talking to certain NPCs that could lead to anything from getting attacked, to getting a reward or a quest. These dialogue op
Strip Club Manager 2007-05-25 09:59:00 This little mobile game puts you in the role of a manager owning your own fancy (or not so fancy) strip club. The game actually features 3 clubs, 2 of them locked, which you have to manage one after the other: Eden's Paradise, The Fantasy and Pink Kitten.The objective of the game is of course to make money, while also keeping your customers happy, since general customer satisfaction is what enables you to buy better furniture or dancing poles or anything else you think your club might need. There's also the possibility to hire a dj and a bodyguard, along with one of the 6 featured girls, each of them appealing to a different kind of costumer and dancing in their own way on their distinct music track. It's nice that the game has this "match-up the girl with the customer" part because it keeps your interest going to see how each girl dances and on what music. I personally like Ebony.You can also organize events at the club. And from time to time disasters happen, more often when playi Read more:Strip
Pyramid Bloxx - official trailer 2007-06-27 15:53:00 Here is the official trailer for Pyramid
Bloxx from Digital Chocolate, one of the best puzzle games yet.
Pyramid Bloxx 2007-06-27 15:17:00 If you ever thought building your own Pyramid
s and achieving immortality can't be fun, then this is the game for you!The Ancient Gods appear in front of you, a lowly worker, knowing that you are destined for great deeds. They make you Pharaoh and promise you a place amongst them, if you will only build 3 great pyramids in their honor.The object of the game, as stated above, is to build 3 pyramids of increasing size, each made of a number of blocks according to how big the pyramid is. You can build them from different colored blocks, some worth more points and some less, so it is possible to fill the score gauge (main objective) before you have finished placing all of the blocks. However the pyramid is only considered complete when it's score gauge is full and when all of it's blocks places are filled.The game features an overview map where you can select which of the pyramids you want to build, as well as see them and other buildings that sometimes appear around the pyramids themsel
Transformers 2007-06-26 10:12:00 Suddenly your cell phone gets a strange transmission... A robots face comes up and sends you a message: he's name is Bumblebee and he's an autobot. He and he's fellow autobots have come to Earth in hopes of saving it from the evil decepticons.Both the autobots and decepticons are in a race to find the Allspark, a cybertronian object of unlimited power. However upon their arrival on Earth, their leader Optimus Prime was damaged and the rest of the autobot team was scattered and landed in different places. Since they can't risk sending a undisguised signal so YOU are going to have to help and guide Optimus through the use of your "cell phone". The race for the Allspark is dangerous but might be the only way to save the Universe.So here you step in the shoes of Optimus Prime, on a quest to find a powerful artifact and battle the evil decepticons. How classic.The game is a platform shooter that features a 'robust' combat system, Optimus can use his auto-targeting rifle or get up clos Read more:Transformers
Antopia 2007-06-25 13:09:00 For years, the colony of Ugo under the gentle command of Queen Isgaea has been home to the great ants of Laurasia. While the kingdom grew through both colonization and invasion, an alarming new threat began to take place-a dwindling supply of food. Under orders from the Queen, scouts set out a dangerous mission to find a solution to this problem. A great many disappeared, traveling too far from home and getting lost. Those that returned gave news of a mysterious place overheard from other creatures in the realm. Wonderful tales of never-ending food and healthy land for home digging were told. Rain showers and storms would never ever threaten the colony or wipe out citizens for the weather there was quiet and calm. This haven was called Antopia. And so the Queen's army goes ahead to secure the path, leaving all the cute little pink younglings behind. Well that's not much of a surprise is it ? And what's best is that the Queen leaves her most trusted commander, Iggy, behind
Rise of Lost Empires 2007-07-03 10:02:00 Several centuries have passed since the Empire of Light defeated the Empire of Darkness and destroyed the gates of Hell. But now the howls of the Orcs can be heard once again, compelling men, dwarves, and elves to come together under the banner of Light. Hell's gate has been rebuilt: a new war is inevitable!The classical story of good versus evil with nothing complicated, similar to the old Warcraft 2 story, yet again it is the noble humans against the evil orcs.Graphically the game looks very good and it is very easy to tell apart the different units which is useful when it comes to real time strategy games where making fast decisions is crucial. However even better than the graphics are the sounds which feature some nice music tracks for the menu screen and loading screen as well as the units talking when selected or given orders. Of course the voice quality isn't tremendous but it sure gives a better gameplay feeling.And now for the bad parts. Unfortunately for all of the buff spe
Spectrobes 2007-07-06 07:14:00 A game like Jewel Quest but with a Pokemon twist.The game puts you in the role of a space cop named Rallen, whose spectrobes (space creatures of the light) have been robed by pirates. With only one left, your job is to get back your other missing pets with the help of your friend Jeena and battle the evil Krawl, the natural enemies of the spectrobes, as well as destroy their alliance with the space pirates.Spectrobes begins with you traveling in your space ship on an overview map of the surrounding area. All of your travels from planet to planet will take place on this map. The map itself is detailed enough as to make you wonder if that flying asteroid in front of you should be avoided or not, but don't worry it's all part of the scenery :) However one must note the lack of detail in the ship itself as well as the stars which just look weird. The game has two different music tracks, one for the map and another for the puzzle part, adding to the "think under pressure" atmosphere prett
Die Hard 4.0: Live Free or Die Hard 2007-07-16 07:39:00 The Cybercrime Division suspects that the certain individuals are disrupting national information networks. Matthew Farrel is one of the suspects. McClane is sent to apprehend him.Obviously you get to play mister Die Hard, John McClane, as the rest of the story will be unfolded throughout the in-game cut-scenes, which you can thankfully skip.The game looks pretty cool when it comes to the graphics, all of the stages look different which makes the gameplay less boring in that aspect. The detail is good enough for this kind of game, you really shouldn't have the time to look around when you're in danger of getting shot or blown to bits. The music is acceptable, it's the typical 'get ready for some action' track which works ok.In Die Hard 4 there are 3 types of levels, and if you've played any Gameloft action game lately you'll be accustomed to the formula. The main levels are in a side-scroll shooter manner, with mini-games from time to time so you don't get too bored of shootin Read more:Live Free
Some videos are down 2007-07-21 04:46:00 Unfortunately the biggest channel about mobile games on YouTube, that of project NeXt, has been closed down for having one video of an adult targeted game out of the whole 600 available (which is really unfair of YouTube since they did this without any warning), so some videos
for the reviews might not work. You can of course still read about the games here and see some pictures.
Honeycomb Beat 2007-07-25 09:20:00 Puzzle lovers are all abuzz over the brain-teasing fun of Honeycomb Beat - Puzzle Master from Hudson! Clever bees can rule the hive by matching hexagonal tiles correctly to the playfield. To score, you must form the perfect combo of combs, changing them from orange to all grey – not an easy task, even though this game offers pick-up-and-play ease to players of all levels! A friendly host bee buzzes around the honeycomb grid to guide you throughout the game and keep you going. Invite your friends to join in... Get ready to have your brain put to the test with this game. A simple puzzle game in concept, the objective is to turn all of the honeycombs in the level to the color gray. You can do this by selecting a honeycomb and changing it's color using the Ok or the "5" button, but the trick is that by doing this you also change the colors of your selected honeycomb's neighbours, as many as 6 of them.The game features a hundred different levels, each being more and more difficult to so
Asteroids 2007-08-02 09:03:00 Rocks. Space rocks. Evil space rocks.Ahh the classic Asteroids
with it's complicated game mechanics and plot. Just kidding. Actually a very nice game though, I'm pretty sure everybody knows what the Atari Asteroids game was about but just in case you don't, to sum it up, you've got a ship with which you need to blow up asteroids and alien space ships.So what does this game bring to the table ? Well besides the classical asteroids game with it's ancient arcade style graphics there are also 3 themed games: Modern, Techno and Virus. The Virus mode is a little bit different, instead of having asteroids that blow up your ship there are virus cells that attach themselves to your ship and drain it's energy. To shake them off you need to go to hyperspace.Also part of the game is a Power-Up mode, in which you have only one ship but can pick-up power-ups like shields and all kinds of missiles and laser targeted shots. A very diverse game, more like 4 games in one actually, Asteroids is a n

about the iPhone from YouTube. And my honest opinion, 500$ is A LOT to spend on a phone just because it's got an Apple logo on it.Enjoy ;)
