This is an especially common experience for BlackBerry owners. There are, however, many free top-notch BlackBerry games out there. It’s just a matter of conducting the downloading experiments to sort them out –- which, luckily for you, we’ve already done.
We've weeded out throwbacks to Oregon Trail (we have nothing against Oregon Trail, but click-through decision screens — “Do you want to ford the river?” — are a bit past their prime), games that get old after a couple of plays, and games that were never much fun to begin with. The following eight games made the cut.
Match Tetris-style falling pieces (Gloms) by color. If you group four Gloms of one color together, they explode and disappear (Ka-Glom!), which earns you points. Blocks, which don’t disappear when you group them, disappear and earn points when Gloms explode near them.
You would think a name like Number Cruncher would scare away a lot of people, but this is consistently one of the BlackBerry App World's most popular free games.
Very simple user interface. This is a perfect example of simplicity. Tally erp 9 crack.
There’s actually no math involved. The object is to create as many sequences of numbers in an allotted amount of time. For instance, circling a sequence (2,3,4) or multiples (2,2,2) of numbers earns points. As in Ka-Glom, matched numbers disappear and cause the board to shift. The developer describes it as 'a cross between Sudoku and Tetris.'
You don’t need to buy the physical newspaper just for the Sudoku anymore. This app comes with 10 puzzles and three levels of difficulty to attempt each at. Just like the paper version, the game allows players to note multiple number possibilities in each box. There’s also an option to manually add puzzles from outside sources like newspapers, but it seems like in that case it would be easier to just borrow a pencil.
Brought to you by the Professional Bowling Association, this is more than a point and click bowling game. Players choose to play a single game or a tournament and have the option to play against a second player or a handful of pro bowlers. Superior graphics make the choice of lane type and location come to life. Choosing a different ball weight and timing an appropriate release (with the option to add some spin) make the game a must for any BlackBerry-toting fan of the lanes.
The object is to change a quilt of multicolored squares (or pixels) into a solid color screen. Your first move only affects the colored square in the upper left-hand corner; you choose which color the square should change to. When it changes, the number of squares your next color choice affects grows by the number of surrounding blocks that the first block now matches.
It's strangely addicting to watch the blob of uniform color you’ve created expand across the screen. Under the default settings, you must clear the screen in fewer than 21 moves to win.
Remember the plight of the little red car in the Rush Hour puzzle? Same concept here. In this game, you move traffic to clear a path for a little red car. The original plastic version came with 40 puzzles; the free Blocked Traffic app comes with 80 puzzles.
These games from Gold Thumb hook you up with an opponent to play an online version of classic games like Connect Four, Blackjack, Roulette, Texas Hold Em and Battleship. They’re all easy and intuitive to use, which is why they made this list. Plus, it’s more fun to play an ostensible human being than a computer.
Are you at work but would rather be golfing? This app lets you choose a club, line up the shot, and decide how hard to swing. Unfortunately an avatar still handles execution, but it’s about as close to golfing as you’ll get in a cubicle. The free version lets you play three different holes.
