Default Top Ten List Of Smartphone Games With Reviews

http://www.smartgamer.org/forums/article.php?t=313

Smartgamer.org has published a Top Ten list of Smartphone games written by Ben Stanley. Each game has a mini-review and a screen shot to help understand what the game is all about. This list has a couple of my favorites on it, and a couple that I wish would run on my phone. :cry: The list looks pretty accurate to me, what are your thoughts?

And just a friendly reminder, all of these titles are available from our Affiliate store.

I'm especially curious to hear what games other people think are good enough that they stay on your phones all the time, even as other games come and go. Plus I really would be thrilled to have someone create (or port) a brilliant, simple tile-based fantasy RPG game for the smartphone . . .

I would have to add Snails and BEJEWELED (the Astraware official version) to that list...When I first got my Smartphone about a year ago, I was hooked onto Snails, and now that Astraware released Bejeweled, I've been hooked on it too (just as I was when I had it on my PocketPC).

I do agree with most of the list though...Smartphone games in general are awesome to play when I have a chance.

Hey Ben, You've got a great list of applications there. Good job.

Aqua Blocks. I can't put it down. Any time I find a couple minutes, I'm playing a round. Just talking about it now makes me want to go back and play another round. :wink:

I'm not much of a gamer, I prefer simple quick type games for my phone. Stuff that you can play while you wait for the train, or a meeting to get underway.

Thanks, Mike. I try to have a good mix (several short fun games, but also some long challenging games that can entertain me on an extended commute).

Which games won't run on your phone? What kind of phone is it?

Eclipse: First Wave. No matter what I do, it won't run. I even did a hard reset and then attempted to play the game. No luck. I keep getting a low memory error. Even after a hard reset. :cry:

I'm currently running a Tanager with WM 2003 on it.

Didn't I see a port of Doom the other day?

Yup, here it is, on our affiliate store. I think I'm going to do a front page post on this app. It's already got a 130 downloads in just a couple days!

Another of my favourite games. My daughter loves playing that with me. I aim, and she puts. Together we are a winning combo! :lol:
