First - a bit about the news industry. The first - and perhaps most importantly - Pocket PC gaming is seriously taken into account and considered in analytical studies of companies in the gaming market along with games for the PC. For example, a recent study of the market for electronic games, spent Deloitte & Touche, the company has led analysts to conclude that the industry is currently booming and its state depends largely on the development of gaming devices themselves, which include classified as well KPK.

Pick 11
Pick 11 for Pocket PC
With a slight delay to present to you just three games company Xi-Art, which finally appeared on game portals. Pick 11 - A new, third version of a small game, not easy to pass. Your task - to remove from the playing field, all the gold bars. To do this, mark the tiles with numbers, giving a total 11. Otherwise you'll have to add more tiles on the field. Easy? Not at all. Firstly, time is limited. Secondly, a lot depends on what bar you fall out of the "deck". I had a lot to try to have time to remove all the tiles in time. Everything was so exciting that even the 1 st level, which is available in the demo, I will gladly pass over and over again. Very recklessly. In addition, registered copy of the game mode is supported Tournaments. Simple but clean graphics, Scottish music, added in the latest version - all create a mood ... The previous version of the game is not for nothing was nominated for the magazine PocketPC Magazine "Best Software 2003".
Towers
Towers for Pocket PC
Another update from the Xi-Art. In Towers, similar in style to Pick 11, is about your care. Need to mark the cards from the pyramid lined, rapolozhennye the hierarchy immediately above or below the card, open the deck. So, if the deck is open jack, then you should mention 10 or queen of any suit. If no suitable, open the next in the deck. Time is also limited, you have to hurry. The simple, unvarnished schedule. And if the Pick 11 Play hard, but with passion, here, on the eternal first level, available in the demo version, everything is much more uniform. The updated version was introduced Tournament mode and added a musical number.
MonstroCity
MonstroCity for Pocket PC
And finally, the last update of the Xi-Art: race. Well-drawn menu, fantastic robot-machines, grinding metal, music ... This MonstroCity. The new version of the developers added a variety of surprises on the road. Now you can swallow small amounts of "accelerator" you need to avoid the blue arrows, they slow you down. Green Star dispersed you up to speed of light, wrenches help fix faults obtained after a collision. And finally, naiboleee my favorite item - a police siren. Pass on it, selects and on your sirens all the cars on the road will huddle to the curb. Both of them! Tally-ho!
Kung Fu 1972
Kung Fu 72 for Pocket PC "Muuuuuuuuuuuuu! - Meets your screensaver game. "Muuuuuuu! - She growled again. Next - better. Steep young man undoubtedly Asian proishzhdeniya menacing stares at you from the display. Look closely. That you are.
 |
Action Kung Fu 72 on the plan ConcreteUdder occurs at the Shanghai film set in 1972. Date is consistent with musical accompaniment. You - the young actor playing the role of the avenger - you need to enter the palace of the villain with a variety of rooms, and scattered arms. In the spirit of the Shanghai film of the period throwing crowd at one stroke. Issued against you loyal henchmen villain: in the blue training pants are the unarmed fighters, in green pants and a beret - knife thrower.At the end of the corridor you will have to wait for the big fat man in red boots. And here you have to seriously. Game graphics is not bad. I am glad also that you can turn off the sounds and music through the settings menu, I quickly took advantage and turned off rather tedious monotonous music. The developers made it possible to reconfigure the buttons, punches, stylus in the game does not work. The menu, however, poorly drawn. Another - quite a big disadvantage games - after the game, whether successful or losing, you have 30 seconds to observe the inscription Game Over; same will restart the game. The demo version provides only one level. Couple tips. The narrow strip at the top of the screen a green dot indicates your position in the corridor - on it you can navigate. The big boss at the end of each level can be killed if gradual retreat, then expect squatting position, when suitable, and - his knee, knee!
CoolChix Chess
CoolChix Chess for Pocket PC All they have is not so, as we have. They live on their own, specific laws, so people who leave should go in advance to be ready for many changes in my life. The Chinese variant of chess, first introduced on the portal Handango last week - a vivid example of that. How to say the developers - the company PPCLink, this is the most widespread game in China, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam and other Asian countries.

Here all is unusual, but, as it should be in the East - wisely. The king sits in the palace, surrounded by guards, followed by the ministers go, then, outside the palace in the yard - the cavalry, immediately and symmetrical rows of soldiers - on foot. There are chariots, and even guns. Game figures differ only in hieroglyphs, and they are different for the two adversaries. In order to understand, have read the manual in PDF. Between two warring kingdoms of the river, which sometimes changes the course of the battle. I am sure fans will enjoy a game of chess. The game is unusual, but interesting enough. Board and the menu well and accurately drawn. It is a pity, though, that has to save the game in a standard window, it is not fitting into the overall design of the game.
TetriBox
TetriBox for Pocket PC and TetriBox for Palm OS
 |
Name of company-developer - Absolutist - is consistent with the spirit of their work. Before making his version of the old Tetris goodness, they studied the history of the game, its rules, has opened a forum Strategy Tetris, and only then begun to implement their plans. Installing this game on your PDA, I had no idea that so you can vary the game and make it a new attractive. In addition to the classic, TetriBox offer another 17 species of Tetris. Here and in laying the figures in color, and styling in the form and arrangement of certain pieces - all on the field consisting of various objects: the usual squares to hexagons. All this is carefully thought out and balanced. No artificiality. Beautiful graphics. User-friendly menu. On my Qtek were, however, problems with the management of the stylus. A little awkward to use as reference files - the text is presented in one window, have to scroll down to find instructions for interesting game. In the full version you can download the points earned on the server - maybe you - the best handler in the world? Unlike the licensed version is also possible to maintain their games. In other respects, the demo is completely functional - it is not restricted by time or by the number of games. The only thing that sometimes appears on the display window listing the benefits of the full version. Overall - a game I really liked. Absolutist managed to bring something new into the beaten Tetris. Thanks also to Alexey Pajitnov - the inventor of Tetris - for our happy childhood.For, if you believe the stories of Tetris on the site - just him we owe the appearance of Tetris on his computer.
Legacy: Revenge - Expansion pack
Legacy: Revenge - Expansion pack for the Pocket PC and Legacy: Revenge - Expansion pack for Palm OS
New cities are open to you. New mysteries await disclosure. Search and explore ancient ruins, rescue beautiful women, battle with the dragons ... Over 30 hours of gameplay, 15 levels, 16 quests, many new objects and surprises, love and the battle - Hungarian Redshift has released an additional package to its Legacy 1.05. Detail the game I presented in a previous review, but now I note again that, despite the huge number of objects, the game is well organized - Hungarian developers were able to provide all balanced. By the way, Redshift is in talks with the authors of Civilization on the acquisition of rights to transfer games for PDAs. If you are a fan of games, you can vote for them.
Snake Deluxe
Snake Deluxe for PalmOS
My favorite of the games for PalmOS from today's review. New game from CrazySoft: History cute snake that decided to take a trip. There is a map. There are levels. Beautiful "cartoon" animation, a cute snake, unsophisticated, but funny sounds that accompany the game. On the map you can choose the level and pass it to a given degree of complexity. You can choose to Adventure, in which you are going through all the levels, "revealing" one after another. The game is simple but remarkably spent, which, unfortunately, a rarity. Play well diversified by a number of innovations - the snake eats a variety of fruits and berries, sometimes come across a bottle with some "Herbalife, which reduces the snake in size. Sometimes she swallows hours in order to increase the allotted her in this world is time. And finally, the snake very funny faints when faced with various obstacles (unless the snake can swoon).
Realm Walker
Realm Walker for Palm OS
Built by another RPG-game of our obzroa - Realm Walker - have announced the release of version 2.05. The new version contains two new bot to trade, new spells, an additional study of graphic elements, a number of updates the number of monsters on the latest levels. Based on the same elements as the Legacy, as described earlier, Realm Walker is significantly different in the chart: here the action is not the first person, you control your character using the buttons or the stylus. Thus, 500 levels, 40 kinds of strange creatures have for you a bad feeling. Countless "magic items needed" instruction to the game on the 10-page user interface, in places reminiscent of Mission Control Center, all it does for me, the game is not enough fun. It is good for those who like to dive into the unknown. The demo version is available 7 levels of the unknown. Hopefully, right.
