Tetris for BlackBerry Bold

We just heard that there is a free BlackBerry Tetris game available for BlackBerry Bold users over on BerryReview.com.   I wasn’t able to get it running on the BlackBerry Storm, however, I’d be willing to bet that keyboard bearing BlackBerry devices in addition to the BlackBerry Bold might have better luck.

You can pick up BBTetris by pointing your BlackBerry Broswer to http://papped-themes.100webspace.net/Tetris/BBTetris.jar

If you should hapen to install and get it running on a device other than the BlackBerry Bold, leave us a comment and let us know.

There is a new strategy / puzzle type game out for the BlackBerry and BlackBerry Storm from Toysoft Development, Inc. named TapOMania that kind of reminds of Chuzzle except you only need to get two or more blocks of a pattern in a row instead of three or more.

The goal is to try to remove all of the blocks from the screen or, at least enough of them to continue on to the next level.  Trust me, it is more challenging than it looks.

There are two versions of TapOMania… One specficially for the BlackBerry Storm and one for most other BlackBerry devices.  TapOMania will set you back $3.95 for the Storm or $1.99 for other BlackBerry devices through January 30 after which the price goes up to $4.95 for the Storm and $5.95 for other devices.

You can get a 10 day free trial as well.  Check TapOMania out over at the BerryRevew store

If you happen to be a BlackBerry user and an XBox Gamer that really gets into your friends XBox Live stats such as their gamerscore, online status, gamer pictures,  avatars, latest games, and achievements there is a free BlackBerry application that you will want to take a look at. XBerry Live allows you to do all these things and more and you absolutely cannot beat the price.

XBerry Live runs on pretty much every BlackBerry device to come out since the BlackBerry 8700 and this includes the BlackBerry Storm if you turn off compatibility mode.  One of the really cool features is that XBerry Live will automatically let you know when there is a new version so staying up to date should be a breeze.

XBerry Live is a free BlackBerry application although the developer is accepting donations via PayPal.  You can get more information about XBerry Live and an OTA download link here

BlackBerry Game: Marble Trap

by Robb Dunewood on December 19, 2008 · 7 comments

So, I’ve been playing Marble Trap from Nickel Buddy for the passed few days and as the second game that I know of that makes use of the BlackBerry Storms accelorometer, it’s not bad…  Not bad at all.

The first thing that you should note about Marble Trap is that it is a puzzel game, not an arcade game.  You don’t just try to roll the marble towards the hole and balance it in.  You actually have to figure out how line the marble up with the hole from its resting spot by making several moves around the board.

Marble Trap is a game of logic. To play the game, you will move the marble up, down, left or right, and the marble rolls until it hits something or rolls off the board. This game is a test of your thinking skills, not your reaction speed.

Mobile Trap will set you back $9.95, however, there is a free trial for you to try out.  You can check it out here

The only thing better than a good BlackBerry game is a good free BlackBerry game and it just so happens that, through August 31st, bPlay is offering Pro Golf Paradise for free.

FREE NOW THRU AUGUST 31! Just add the game to your shopping cart with the “Buy Now” option and proceed through a normal purchase. Please note that you must enter a valid credit card upon purchase, even though your card will NOT be charged for this title. Offer not available through the “Try It Now” option.

As of the time of this posting, the bPlay shopping cart seems to be pretty sluggish. I haven’t been able to complete the free purchase. I will check about a little later and let you know how it goes. I can check it out for yourself here

Stefan from AIM Productions just sent me a press release stating that AIM has just launched their first batch of BlackBerry Games including the Free BlackBerry Game Bubble Popper.

The point of the game is simple: remove bubbles from the grid by double-clicking groups of two or more adjacent, like-colored bubbles. The longer your bubble chains are, the more points you score.

In addition to the free Blackberry game, Bubble Popper, AIM has released 3 other titles which, for a limited time, you can get a 30% discount on through ClickGamer.
