It might have a lot of graphics and story panels behind it, but pull away the armour, and Fragger is another "throw things to kill things" game. It's done extremely well, it's challenging and has longevity built in. And one more important thing to remember as I review it. This is not Angry Birds.
Symbian-owning fans of role playing games should be happy at the moment. Following up on our reviews of Crusade of Destiny and Eternal Legacy HD, we have another epic RPG from Gameloft. Weighing in at 305MB Dungeon Hunter 2 is another game you'll be wanting to install over WiFi. In yet another impressive display of Symbian^3 graphics abilities, Dungeon Hunter 2 also has the mechanics to appeal to hardcore gamers.
If you're looking for a long term adventure with lavish graphics, then take a look at our review of Eternal Legacy. This adventure game takes full advantage of Symbian^3's graphics acceleration, providing impressive Japanese style graphics. That's only half of the game though. Read on to find out whether Eternal Legacy's gameplay make the price tag, and the whopping 300MB download, worthwhile.
This is more like it! Smart graphics, a big logical challenge, requiring arcade reactions, with lots of granularity of levels... Now Boarding was a game that stood out for me the second that Steve pointed it out in the Ovi Store. Given that I pounced on this game, have I made a good snap decision? The short answer is yes, this is a great mobile game.
Digital Cubes have always been with us on computers, partly because I think those people who can work cubes very well are also the sort of people who like to fiddle around with computers, but the rise of the touch screen smartphones has meant that the portable physical puzzle is easily available as a virtual puzzle in your pocket. But is it worth it?
Another Qt-written game title from new boys Bluefir, Hotshot Pool takes the traditional pool table, cue and balls and then reinvents some of the premises. To be honest, there's a good idea here that might have worked really well, but Hotshot Pool lets itself down in the end by not getting the basics - playing shots - right.
"Can't read my, can't read my, no you can't read my, Poker Dice, Yahtzee's got to love somebody." Okay, that's enough of that. The question is not how good my singing is, but can Blue Particle's poker dice game, Yacht, make a better attempt at covering a classic than I can?
One of several casual games launched by Bluefir recently, Pinball Puzzle is more akin to traditional Bagatelle, or 'Pachinko', as the Japanese apparently call it. Yes, it involves firing balls into arrays of metal pins and trusting to luck as to which scoring 'bin' they'll end up in, but thankfully there's a bit more to it than that, as you'll see.
Nokia is pretty proud of its green credentials throughout the company, and their latest branded game, Climate Mission 3D, wants to make sure that smartphone users are also aware of what they can do as individuals. But like any good lesson, it's far better to hide the education inside a game. Which is what Nokia has done here.
It looks smart, it sounds wonderfully weird, and there's a tiny hint of the old Game and Watch style of play in World of Rabbit. But can this collection of mini-games win over players in the modern smartphone world?
