Cestos - multiplayer Android app

Cestos is not the only multiplayer game in the Android Market, but the multiplayer functions are more well-integrated than I've seen in any other app. Gameplay is fun and a little addictive. But sound effects are the first must for this free app to reach its potential. Programmed by Chickenbrick Studios.

Buka - iPhone and Android app review

Every once in while I like to play a game that serves more as an analgesic than a hand-eye coordination challenge. Other days, I want to be on my toes looking for the next virtual threat. Buka provides a bit of both in a cute but numbing package. I mean that in a good way. You'll see what I mean.

Droid Wars - Breakout clones

How many Breakout clones are available for Android? A lot, that's how many. I had to edit out my banter about how a neighbor destroyed my Atari 5200. That's how many Breakout clones are in the Market - and I didn't even cover them all. Here are a couple to look for, and a few others to avoid. BTW, if you can play Droid Breakout using the accelerometer while the reverse power-up is active, I salute you. Does anyone want to volunteer a cooler...

Droid Wars is a new segment I'm going to try and put together once a week or so.  Forget the other clones. For this kind of puzzle game, two stand at the top of the heap: Jewellust and Bejeweled.

Nintendo DSi Game Aquia - DSiWare App Review

Noah reviews AQUIA Art Style, one of the first Nintendo DSi games available in the DSiWare online store.

Mystique, Chapter 1 - Android app review

This one is unique in the Android Market. And because you can play for free or buy for - I mean donate - 99 cents, I have to advise a test drive. Puzzle games like this drive me up the wall, and I usually end up searching for the walk-through. If that kind of frustration intrigues you, then you will not be disappointed. Feel free to comment about how easy you found it. I think it's quite challenging, and well worth the dollar investment to see...

Android app review - Air Hockey

Air Hockey is always ready - there's no learning curve, no back-story, and no need to pause or save. It's the perfect distraction for those little periods of waiting that are scattered throughout your day. The two-player action is weak at the moment, but don't blame the developer. As soon as wireless gaming is supported, a pair can showdown from different Android devices. Air Hockey is 99 cents. Check out the dev's site: JJCgames

Android weaponry

There are many kinds of geeks in the world: phone geeks, computer geeks, physics geeks, film geeks, renaissance faire geeks, comic book (sorry, graphic novel) geeks, music geeks, etc. The cataloging continues. No geek culture supersedes another, but this post is in honor of geeks of the horror and sci-fi variety. They are the ones who will most appreciate these apps, and they are the ones most likely to find themselves in a situation where their...

Mobile Games - Nokia N81 and Madden NFL 08

The official title of CTIA's Fall show was "IT & Entertainment," so I had to bring you some entertainment. I checked out the gaming exhibits and saw some cool stuff. Nokia might just be doing NGAGE right this time, and their new N81 handset has some serious graphics capabilities. And then there's Madden. Madden 08 NFL looked very cool.
