Week is definitely a success. Good game volley. Studio dumped on the market for two or even three games. Whether to work harder, or have long held the game in stock, waiting until summer is over, and users are once again enter the normal game mode. Some studios, such as, Absolutist, tried his game to bring us back to the warm atmosphere of the summer, the sea and sun, inviting us to a beach Volley Balley. But the company MobilAir not fond memories and offers to play in quite autumnal park game Balls. You can also dip into the atmosphere birthday - here he is, birthday, round, and gluttonous. Try an anniversary version of Ms. Parkman 2005. And while most of the fun, with fire fighters are not up to the holidays, they always need somewhere to escape, something to put out, someone to save them. But those who have grappled with the ghosts of the party in Creepy Pinball, have to wriggle themselves. It is beyond the competence of firefighters. Naturally, among others, a whole galaxy of puzzles: Bubble Shooter, the leader of today's review, which combines shooting with a logical problem; eNcircle, the kingdom of circles, and of course, another clone Lines - Game Lineo. A while people are scurrying around on the ant hill turns tragic struggle for existence: it must anteater eat ants and absolutely do not want to be eaten. And they can understand.

Discussion

What is missing today's game for Pocket PC? At the moment, we conducted a survey majority of votes given for the version that the weakest link now is the story, or rather lack of it. And what's missing with our review? Judging by the forums of articles, a little game for PalmOS. True, I will try to fill. However, I would like to know what else our readers would like to see in these reviews. E-mail, be sure to note.

Hit-parade

Practice shows that we are healthy people. We prefer to exercise in the gym and stadium. But running, jumping and swimming in the display does not appeal to us. Despite the really good quality game 3D Ten Pen Bowling, illustrated in the last issue, it was not very attractive to our readers, and Summer Sports Challenge - Olympic Games - all were pushed to last place. Everything else confirms findings from previous charts - popular already known games such as, for example, "Arkanoid", as well as games that have good graphics. And not necessarily a three-dimensional.

Guardians: especially the December Independence Day

Version of Guardians for Pocket PC recently told a funny story. During the demonstration, the famous film "Independence Day" in one of American cinema, at a time when aliens direct fire spread the White House to pieces, one of the spectators yelled: "Now - no taxes," and threw a beer bottle at the screen. Present a display of protest had on the soul and bottles rained down a barrage of on-screen. View stopped. Here such here an extraordinary reaction to the story. A lot on it, among other things, to earn money. Sometimes I even think that without the stories of aliens, many game developers had nothing to feed my family. Company Booqio, whose site, unfortunately, could not see because of its unavailability at the time of this writing, has announced the upcoming release of their new game Guardians. The exact period of the game on the market has not yet announced, but the Internet is already available demo version of the game.

Bubble Shooter is based on the same principle as the Lines. Your task - to group three or more identical balls and survive in the game as long as possible. The resemblance to the famous game ends, and starts all the fun. New balls appear not on the field and serve as a charge in a cannon, from which you are shooting the mass of balls, approaching you. If your shot completed the desired combination, a group of mates round-color bursts and scatters like soap bubbles. Force shot can be combined, sometimes only because of the exact combination of direction and force of the shot can spread large groups of identical balls. Here a little logic, you need the accuracy and measured action. The game has two modes - "Strategy" (Strategy) and "Arcade" (Arcade). In the "Strategy" balls looming at you as failures, but in "Arcade" - after a certain period of time. All the best thought out for ease of playing. Despite the fact that good games this week were a few, we do not knowingly committed it Bubble Shooter. He has done well and what is important - with enthusiasm. The developers were not afraid to make a novelty, not too lazy to work on the graphics, sounds and special effects that could not do it, but after a three-dimensional balls all the more interesting. We think that this enthusiasm always had to be noted.

Pluses. First of all, originality. Good interface, support for stylus and joystick, sound graphics. Support trilingual interface (English, French, German). Well-designed settings. Finally, the trial version does not apply to the game itself: you can finish playing till the end, you will only occasionally bother the pop-up window that notifies you that you're playing a demo. Cons. With a certain amount of humor to at the lack of options can switch to the Russian language. If a more serious (as far as possible when talking about games), I have not noticed in the game serious shortcomings. Tips. To reach deeply locked up one-color balls you can expect the trajectory of attack with a broken wall. Other games from the company Absolutist:

Greet newcomers at this celebration of life! The portal Handango before the first game from a company Bitlabs, previously specialized in web projects for Japan and Korea. Firstborn definitely left face. The game is played on the field, divided by the tile with the drawn on them curves. Tiles can be rotated around the horizontal or vertical axes, respectively, by clicking the stylus on the sides of the tiles or the upper (lower) part of it. Needed to assemble the entire closed figures from disparate curves. The simplest shape - a circle, you can also collect a cross. But beware, time is limited. Moreover, the farther, the faster the timer. Tiles each collected pieces disappear from the field, their place is new and dedicated your time increases slightly.

The creators of games for handheld sometimes so passionate about the process of programming, which is practically not pay attention to this important part of the game, as the name. And it largely determines the attitude to the game. Game AntHill, as presented last week by Ballshooter Games, is no exception. She immediately caught my attention. Her name originally contains intrigue. As a minimum, pleases no-console Tetris.

Did not disappoint, and the game itself. Here you are doing mostly what pokazyvete language. Language anteater. And not just any show, but they devour ant larvae in earthen labyrinth. To absorb all the larvae, before your aardvark go to the next hole. Be careful. Beetles and caterpillars are ugly habit of biting hurts. Their you can absorb only the tail. And your most dangerous enemy - the black widow spider, for some reason in the game in red. The only way to avoid a painful death from it - to eat an ant queen (she looks like a fly). Apparently, she was there the soul of the company - as soon as it eats all the inhabitants of an anthill disappear for awhile. There is also a bonus - an additional life, the pill, to protect the language from the encroachments and bites, and others. To top it all, I really like the game landscape, reminiscent of Ararat. Love konyak? Play AntHill, where the same image.

Finally, nyneshee their appearance and name it received in France, in 1970, and in 2004 it was released for Pocket PC by MobilAir. That's it, we, in fact, today, and represent. Petanque, or simply Balls, as extravagantly dubbed its developers. Since neither on the game site, nor in the program rules, I have found, give a brief description of petanque. In the early game rushes koshonet - a wooden ball. After that, opponents take turns rolling metallic balls, trying to get as close as possible to koshonetu. It is assumed knocking balls of the enemy. At the end of the game calculates the total distance ball teams to koshoneta. The winner is the team which is the distance would be less. In the Balls you only need time to press the button to throw the ball in the right direction and with the necessary force. That's all the wisdom.
