Spb AirIslands 1.0 Released
"Spb Software House releases Spb AirIslands - a new Pocket PC game based on a unique concept. This game is a combination of a real-time strategy game where you have to build a colony on an isolated island, and a set of mini-games. The 3 included mini-games are used to earn resources you can use later to develop your island. This unique concept allows Spb AirIslands to combine all the benefits of a desktop strategy game with all necessary attributes of a funny Pocket PC game. It submerges you into a unique world of an isolated island with its own history, rules, success strategy and spectacular story line. And, at the same time, you can always play one of the three mini-games when you have 5-10 minutes of spare time (for example standing in a line), thus earning resources for the big game. Amazing qVGA and VGA graphics, fantastic sound, hundreds hours of gameplay, and a game community website make playing Spb AirIslands an experience you don't want to miss. "
Spb AirIslands is out, and I can definitely attest to Clinton Fitch's claim of addiction in his review. You can find further information, download a free trial version, and purchase the full version from Handango or the main Spb AirIslands web site. [Affiliate]

I gave the demo a one hour try and can say this game is pretty nice.
The general game concept is original and fun, even though prety limited.
The 3 mini games ("puzle-buble", "break out" and "Qix" clones) are well done and polished.
The "rts" part isn't all that great, but is decent enough, and has really sweet graphics: you even can enable the option to have your main game screen as a screensaver, making you want to go back to play 
A fresh game that sure worth the 20 bucks imo.
