BlackBerry Storm 9500/9530 Recommended Games

Okay, there are tons of java games out there and sometimes it is annoying to be misguided by the cover art of the games. The graphic usually shaddy and bad gameplay made me regret that I once installed the games.

So here, I will give you hints of good graphic quality and of course good gameplay for your BlackBerry Storm.

Super KO Boxing 2

This is basically a classic Super Punch Out for your BlackBerry. It has nice graphic and gameplay (see! I told ya). You simply swipe your finger to punch, jab, hook and dodge. Also, it has cool special uppercut moves (with special effect: FIRE) if you fill the gauge with the combos. Definitely 5 stars mobile game for me. Trust me this game is extremely difficult so you will spend much time punching. There are variants of enemy and long championship option.

ROAD MANIA

Okay next one is handling a traffic junction. You should avoid crashes by swiping to accelerate car, truck or motorcycle and tapping on them to make them stop for a few seconds. There are 9 streets (see right pic) you could choose of course each with their own junctions and conditions. This one also not easy but we're all grown ups arent we ;)

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL

Similar to Road Mania, except this one we should land airplanes, jetplanes, chopper and air balloon to their designed lanes. There are 3 venue for this game the first one is to land the planes into mother ship, the second one is on the pic beside, and the last one is in the forest. Simply swipe the plane to the lane to create a path then they will automatically landed.

BERRY LABYRINTH

In this game, the goal is to put the silver ball into their designed pockets. How to play? The game will use the sophisticated accelerometer technology, you just simply tilt your Storm to move the ball. It also comes in Lite edition with levels limited only to 10.

So how was it? I already thought 4 will gonna fill up your Storm's 128MB Flash really quick so I'll stop now and will give you another hints after you upgrade to 256MB Storm 2 or 512MB Storm 3 (if any). And last part is, do you need to pay to get these games? The answer is YES. :)

Support the developer and buy the legit one okay?

Cheers.

Good BlackBerry Apps

It's been a while since the last time I reviewed applications for mobile phone. Okay, here are the apps I installed in my Storm currently.

OpenBeak

Between the famous UberTwitter and Twitter for BlackBerry, I choose this app because I need to tweet fast. You see, the moment we open this app, it will shows a pretty screen saying "what are you doing?" just like the picture below. Simply type and send to tweet. Fast right? It also has twitter standard features such as "See replies", "Friends Timeline", "Public Timeline", and also could upload pic to Posterous, Zannel, TwitPic, Twitgoo, or yfrog.

Just open their site and see for yourself. But for me, this app is important.

FourSquare

After Twitter, of course the most popular social networking tool is foursquare (just opinion, I won't install facebook in my BB anyway). 4sq for BlackBerry is useful to do.. 4sq things.

Opera Mini 

We all need browser in our mobile phone nowadays. Opera knew that long before Microsoft realize it. And now Opera is the most popular mobile browser (another opinion which is most likely true) in the world. Of course I am still using the BlackBerry browser.... to download the Opera Mini. LOL... but I heard that OS6 browser will be amazing. Let's hope so. :)

CaptureIt 

Ever wanting to show some malicious bugs occured in your BlackBerry? CaptureIt is one of the solution. There are a lot of options to screen capture your phone just choose one and wisely.

GoogleMaps

Other important tool for a GPS-enabled BlackBerry (or without GPS also okay actually). The most fun feature in Gmap is Latitude. You could track your friend - of course with their permission - in the map in the whole world. Priceless! 

StopTilt

When first time holding Storm, I was very annoyed by its auto rotating screen. That's when I found this app. It will allow you to disable auto-rotation in specific screen. Useful but you should pay for it. I don't mind to pay around $4 (if i'm not mistaken) to buy this app. Perhaps you could find another free substitute and don't forget to tell me the name will ya ;)

I still have few apps installed in my BB such as GoogleSync, ForwardReplyEdit, CameraMute, Blink!, RadioOn, and QuickPull. You could find the use from its name right, so I won't take your time anymore. Cheers.
